The 4,620 mAh fully depleted battery fully charges in less than five hours at room temperature.

Charge batteries in temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F). The TC70x or accessory always performs battery charging in a safe and intelligent manner. At higher temperatures (e.g. approximately +37°C (+98°F)) the

TC70x or accessory may for small periods of time alternately enable and disable battery charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The TC70x or accessory indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED.

To charge the main battery, connect the charging accessory to the appropriate power source.

Insert the TC70x into a cradle or attach to a cable. The TC70x turns on and begins charging. The

Charging/Notification LED blinks amber while charging, then turns solid green when fully charged.

Imager Scanning

To read a bar code, a scan-enabled application is required.

Ensure that an application is open on the TC70x and a text field is in focus (text cursor in text field).

Point the exit window on the top of the TC70x at a bar code.

Figure 25 Imager Scanning

Press and hold the scan button.

The red laser aiming pattern turns on to assist in aiming.

NOTE When the TC70x is in Picklist mode, the imager does not decode the bar code until the crosshair or aiming dot touches the bar code.

Ensure the bar code is within the area formed by the crosshairs in the aiming pattern. The aiming dot is used for increased visibility in bright lighting conditions.

Figure 26 Aiming Pattern

26 TC70x Touch Computer Quick Start Guide with Windows 10 IoT Mobile Enterprise

Figure 27 Pick List Mode with Multiple Bar Codes in Aiming Pattern

The Data Capture LED lights green and a beep sounds, by default, to indicate the bar code was decoded successfully.

Release the scan button.

Imager decoding usually occurs instantaneously. The TC70x repeats the steps required to take a digital picture

(image) of a poor or difficult bar code as long as the scan button remains pressed.

The bar code content data displays in the text field.
