Charge the Battery
DL-Axist battery pack is not initially fully charged. After installing
the battery, charge it with the USB cable or with the single dock.
During the charging process the charging LED positioned at the top
left side of the display glows red constantly. Once the charging
process has been completed,the charging LED glows green
constantly.
Charge with USB
You can use the provided USB charge/communication cable in
conjunction with the power supply adapter (p/n 94ACC0135) to
charge the terminal from a power outlet. To prevent the risk of
short-circuiting, first connect the USB cable to the DL-Axist micro
USB port, and then connect the USB cable to the power adapter.
NOTE
Charge the battery for a minumum of 4 hours for the
standard battery and 8 hours for the extended battery.
NOTE
Use only a Datalogic approved power supply.

Battery
12 DL-Axist™
Charge with the dock
The dock provides power to the DL-Axist and allows the charging of
the battery.
You can also charge an additional battery pack by inserting it into the
rear slot of the dock.
CAUTION
By default, the battery pack is disconnected at the
factory to avoid damage due to excessive draining.
Annual replacement of rechargeable battery pack
avoids possible risks or abnormalities and ensures
maximum performance.
CAUTION
Avoid storing batteries for long periods in a state of full
charge or very low charge.
We recommend charging the battery pack every two to
three months to keep its charge at a moderate level to
maximize battery life.
WARNING
Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect
type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
l y a risque d’explosion si la batterie est remplacée par
une batterie de type incorrect.
Mettre au rebut les batteris usagées conformément aux
instructions.

Battery
Quick Reference Guide 13
NOTE
Even if the storage temperature range is wider, in order to
achieve the longest battery life, store the terminal and the
spare batteries between 20 to 30°C (68 to 86°F).
Charging is allowed in the battery temperature range
from 0°C to 45°C.
NOTE
To maximize battery life, turn off radios when they are not
needed.
NOTE
To maximize operating autonomy, the DL-Axist checks its
battery level at all times. If the battery is not sufficiently
charged, the DL-Axist will not turn on when the ON/OFF
Power button is pressed.
In this case, either substitute with a charged battery,
insert the DL-Axist into a powered dock, or plug it into a
wall charger.
WARNING
Installing, charging and/or any other action should be
done by authorized personnel and following this
manual.
The battery pack may get hot, explode, ignite, and/or
cause serious injury if exposed to abusive conditions.
If the battery pack is replaced with an improper type,
there is risk of explosion and/or fire.
Use the battery box to carry the battery pack, do not
put the battery pack in your pocket.
Do not place the battery pack in or near a fire or other
heat source; do not place the battery pack in direct
sunlight, or use or store the battery pack inside
unventilated areas in hot weather; do not place the
battery pack in microwave ovens, in clothes dryers, in
high pressure containers, on induction cook surfaces
or similar devices. Doing so may cause the battery
pack to generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the
battery pack in this manner may also result in a loss
of performance and a shortened life expectancy.

Battery
14 DL-Axist™
WARNING
Use only a Datalogic approved power supply. The use of
an alternative power supply will void the product
warranty, may cause product damage and may cause
heat, an explosion, or fire.
The area in which the units are charged should be clear
of debris and combustible materials or chemicals.
Do not use the battery pack of this terminal to power
devices other than this terminal.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery pack if,
while using, charging or storing the battery pack, the
battery pack emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes
color or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.
Do not short-circuit the battery pack contacts
connecting the positive terminal and negative
terminal. This might happen, for example, when you
carry a spare battery pack in your pocket or purse;
accidental short–circuiting can occur when a metallic
object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes direct
connection of the contacts of the battery pack (these
look like metal strips on the battery pack). Short–
circuiting the terminals may damage the battery pack
or the connecting object.
Do not apply voltages to the battery pack contacts.
Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with
a hammer, step on it or otherwise subject it to strong
impacts, pressures, or shocks.
Do not disassemble or modify (i.e. bend, crush or
deform) the battery pack. The battery pack contains
safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may
cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or
ignite.
In case of leakage of liquid from the battery, avoid
contact with liquid the skin or eyes. If the contact
occurs, immediately wash the affected area with water
and consult a doctor.
Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.
Do not expose the battery pack to liquids.
Avoid any knocks or excessive vibrations. If the device
or the battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface,
you should take it to the nearest Authorised Repair
Centre for inspection before continuing to use it.

part.
Battery pack usage by children should be supervised.
Collect and recycle waste batteries separately from
the device in compliance with European Directive
2006/66/EC, 2011/65, 2002/96/EC and subsequent
modifications, with US and China regulatory laws and
regulations about the environment.
