[warning] Assurez-vous que tous les composants sont secs avant de raccorder les ordinateurs et les batteries à des périphériques. L'insertion de composants humides risque de provoquer des dommages non couverts par la garantie.

About the USB Type C Connector

On EDA56 models equipped with a USB port, 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 EDA56 or the battery will not charge.

Turn Power On/Off

The first time you power on the computer, a Welcome screen appears. You can either scan a configuration barcode or use the Wizard to manually set up the computer. Once setup is complete, the Welcome screen no longer appears on startup and Provisioning mode is automatically turned off (disabled).

To turn the computer on:

• Press and hold the Power button for approximately 3 seconds and then release.

To turn the computer off:

1. Press and hold the Power button until the options menu appears.
2. Touch Power Off.

Battery Replacement

Before removing the battery, always power off the computer.

[warning] Improper battery replacement or incompatible device usage may result in risk of burns, fire, explosion, or other hazard. Dispose of batteries according to local regulations.

[warning] Un remplacement inadéquat de la batterie ou une utilisation incompatible de l'appareil peut présenter des risques de brûlures, d'incendie, d'explosion ou d'autres dangers. Jetez les piles en lithium-ion conformément aux régulations locales.
