About the Battery
The tablet uses a rechargeable Li-polymer battery as its main power source.
Several factors determine the life of your battery, such as display brightness,
display timeout, input device, extreme temperature, and usage. Honeywell
recommends that you keep the battery charged at all times to prevent data loss.
RT10 tablets are designed for use with standard battery model RT10-BAT-STD1
and extended capacity battery model RT10-BAT-EXT1 manufactured for
Honeywell International Inc.
Note: To view specifications specific to your battery model, see the battery insert supplied
with the battery.

For a list of compatible charging accessories for the RT10W tablet and their part
numbers, see the RT10 Rugged Tablet Accessories Guide, available for download
from www.honeywellaidc.com. Contact your local sales representative for
replacement battery ordering information.
Charge the Battery
RT10W tablets ship with the battery significantly discharged of power. Fully charge
the battery before using your tablet for the first time. A fully discharged battery
charges in approximately 6 hours.
Note: Using the tablet while charging the battery increases the time required to reach a full
charge.
Charge Before Use
Make sure you fully charge the battery before you use your tablet. You can charge
the battery before or after you install it in the tablet. It takes about 6 hours for the
battery to fully charge.
We recommend using AC power when you start the tablet for the first time.
Caution: Read Battery Recommendations and Safety Precautions on page 6
and all cautionary markings on the battery, charging peripheral, and
device using the battery before attempting to install, use, or charge
the battery.
Caution: We recommend use of Honeywell Li-poly battery packs. Use of
any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage not covered by
the warranty.
Caution: Ensure all components are dry prior to placing the battery in the
tablet. Mating wet components may cause damage not covered
by the warranty.
Caution: We recommend the use of Honeywell accessories and power
adapters. Use of any non-Honeywell accessories or power
adapters may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
Caution: Ensure all components are dry prior to mating the computers
and batteries with peripheral devices. Mating wet components
may cause damage not covered by the warranty.
