Using the Rechargeable Li-Ion Battery with BLE Beacon

This device utilizes a rechargeable Li-Ion battery to facilitate Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) Beacon. When enabled, the battery transmits a BLE signal for up to seven days while the device is powered off due to battery depletion.
NOTE: The device transmits a Bluetooth beacon only when it is powered off or in airplane mode.
For additional information on configuring the Secondary BLE settings, see techdocs.zebra.com/emdk-for-android/13-0/mx/beaconmgr/.

Using the Rechargeable Li-Ion Wireless Battery
For TC58e WWAN devices only, use a rechargeable Li-Ion battery to facilitate wireless charging.
NOTE: The rechargeable Li-Ion wireless battery must be used along with the terminal in the Zebra Wireless Charge Vehicle Cradle or Qi-certified wireless chargers.

Charging the Device

To achieve optimal charging results, use only Zebra charging accessories and batteries. Charge batteries at room temperature with the device in sleep mode.\ A standard battery charges from fully depleted to 90% in approximately 2 hours and from fully depleted to 100% in approximately 3 hours. In many cases, a 90% charge provides enough charge for daily use. Depending on the usage profile, a full 100% charge may last for approximately 14 hours of use. The device or accessory always performs battery charging safely and intelligently and indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED, and a notification appears on the device display.

To charge the main battery:

1. Connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2. Insert the device into a cradle or attach to a power cable (minimum 9 volts / 2 amps). The device turns on and begins charging. The Charging/Notification LED blinks amber while charging, then turns solid green when fully charged.

Charging Indicators

The charging/notification LED indicates the charging status.

Table 4 Charging/Notification LED Charging Indicators

Charging the Spare Battery

This section provides information on charging a spare battery. To achieve optimal charging results, use only Zebra charging accessories and batteries.

1. Insert a spare battery into the spare battery slot.
2. Ensure the battery is seated properly.
   1. The Spare Battery Charging LED blinks, indicating charging.
   2. The battery charges from fully depleted to 90% in approximately 2.5 hours and from fully depleted to 100% in approximately 3.5 hours. In many cases, the 90% charge provides plenty of charge for daily use.
   3. Depending on the usage profile, a full 100% charge may last for approximately 14 hours of use.
