ters, retail in-store environments, and other inventory management applica-

tions requiring maximum performance and durability.

Battery Pack

The battery pack in the Falcon is a 3.7 V, 2000

mAh Lithium Ion battery pack. You will be

alerted with a message dialog box when the bat-

tery pack reaches a low state.

After charging the first time, a complete charge

takes about four (4) hours depending on the bat-

tery pack’s state and the recharging method. A

sample battery pack label is shown at the right.

Stylus

Use the stylus for navigation, the soft input panel (SIP), and to select items

on the touch screen. Place the stylus in the holder after use so you don’t lose

or misplace it. An optional Stylus Tether is available for all models.

CAUTION

You must charge the battery pack and backup battery in a dock or with a

power cable prior to your first use of the Falcon. The initial charge time is

approximately 24 hours.

to insert a charged battery pack before the backup battery fails. If your backup

battery fails, the contents of the RAM memory will be lost. If your back-up bat-

tery is less than fully charged, there is proportionally smaller window of time

available. Usage time will be reduced, also.

Always charge the battery pack within the temperature range of 32°–113°F (0°–

45°C).

Use only the authorized power supplies, battery packs, chargers, and docks

supplied by your PSC reseller. The use of an other power supplies can dam-

age the Falcon and void your warranty. Refer to the PRG for the correct power

supplies and Accessories.
