Charge the Mobile Computer

The mobile computer ships with a partially charged battery. Charge the battery before initial use with a CT37 charging device for a minimum of 3 hours.
Note: Using the computer while charging the battery increases the time required to reach a full charge. If the mobile computer is drawing more current than supplied by the charging source, charging will not take place.
We recommend the use of Honeywell accessories and power adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell accessories or power adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

CT37 series mobile computers are designed for use with CT37 charging accessories. For more information, see the CT37 Accessory Guide available for download at sps.honeywell.com.

Ensure all components are dry prior to mating the computers and batteries with peripheral devices. Mating wet components may cause damage not covered by the warranty.

About the USB Type C Connector
You can use a USB cable to charge the mobile computer from a host device (e.g., laptop or desktop computer). The connected host device must supply a minimum power output of 5V, 0.5A to the CT37 or the battery will not charge.
Note: On Healthcare SKUs, verify the USB Type C plug has been removed before attempting to attach a cable to the USB connector.

About the USB Type C Plug
Healthcare models include a protective plug for the USB Type C connector that is pre-installed. When your reinstall the plug, make sure the plug is flush with the body of the computer.
Note: Do not use sharp or metallic instruments to install or remove the plug.

Note: Verify the plug is properly installed if intermittent charging and/or communication issues occur when the computer is placed in an accessory.
