Checking The Battery Health - Honeywell Dolphin 75E User Manual

status LED on the terminal briefly turns red, then Off and back On to a steady amber. As the battery charge reaches
approximately 2%, the a battery charging icon temporarily appears and flashes from
screen. Once the battery reaches a safe charge threshold (approximately 7%), the terminal starts to boot. The length
of time before the battery reaches a safe charge threshold varies depending on the extent of the battery discharge.
Note: If you are charging the terminal from a USB host device (PC) using the USB Charge/Communication Cable, the
length of time before the battery reaches a safe charge threshold varies depending on the extent of the initial
battery discharge level and the current supplied by the USB charging source. Inadequate source current may
interfere with effective battery charging.

Checking the Battery Health
