Charging the Battery
Before using the TC56 for the first time, charge the main battery until the green Charging/Notification light emitting
diode (LED) remains lit. To charge the TC56 use a cable or a cradle with the appropriate power supply. For
information about the accessories available for the TC56 see Chapter 7, Accessories for more information.
The 4,300 mAh battery charges from fully depleted to 90% in approximately 2.5 hours and from fully depleted to
100% in approximately three hours.
Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). The TC56 or accessory always performs
battery charging in a safe and intelligent manner. At higher temperatures (e.g. approximately +37°C (+98°F)) the
TC56 or accessory may for small periods of time alternately enable and disable battery charging to keep the
battery at acceptable temperatures. The TC56 or accessory indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal
temperatures via its LED and a notification appears on the display.
1. To charge the main battery, connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.
2. Insert the TC56 into a cradle or attach to a cable. The TC56 turns on and begins charging. The
Charging/Notification LED blinks amber while charging, then turns solid green when fully charged.
NOTE In many cases the 90% charge provides plenty of charge for daily use. A full 100% charge lasts for
approximately 14 hours of use.
To achieve the best fast charging results use only Zebra charging accessories and batteries. Charge
batteries at room temperature with the TC56 in sleep mode.
