Turning ON the PA820 for the First Time

After you have initially charged your device for about 16 hours, the device is ready to be used. You can now start up your device. You can then calibrate the display, and set up the system time zone, date and time.

Power-On Button

Installing the Battery

WARNING! There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery pack is handled improperly. DO NOT disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose the battery pack in fire or water. DO NOT attempt to open or service the battery pack. Dispose of used batteries according to local recycling guidelines in your area.

A backup battery cell is embedded into your device to prevent data loss when the main battery pack is removed or completely discharged. This backup battery will keep the data and system setting for up to 2 hours if the main battery is removed.

NOTE: To enable the backup battery cell to provide backup power supply, charge your device with the main battery pack for at least 16 hours.

NOTE: To power on the device properly, make sure to replace the battery compartment cover after installing the battery.

1. Open the battery compartment cover by sliding the tabs on both sides in the direction of the arrows shown and lift the cover up.

NOTE: Make sure the battery compartment cover is securely closed, or you may be unable to turn ON the terminal.

Charging the Battery

Before using the terminal for the first time, you need to charge it for about 16 hours. After that, you can charge the terminal for 4 hours to recharge the battery to full capacity. Charge the terminal using the USB charging cable or the docking station.

CAUTION: Turn ON the backup battery switch before charging the battery. Data you entered may not be properly stored until the built-in backup battery has been adequately charged.

CAUTION! Operating the terminal for the first time without the AC adapter, and without fully charging the backup battery may result in loss of data stored in RAM memory. When the main battery is removed, the backup battery retains RAM data in memory for 2 hours. Please fully charge the backup battery to avoid data loss in RAM memory.

1. Press and hold the release button on both sides of the USB charging cable and connect it to the PA820 (1).
2. Plug the AC adapter cable into the power jack of the USB charging cable (2). Plug the AC adapter cord into an electrical outlet (3).
