Battery Charging
7.8.5 Battery Charging
The quad dock supplies DC power to enable the 7535 internal fast charger. Charge status is displayed on the 7535 charge LED (see “Charge LEDs” on page 46).
Battery charging continues whether the 7535 is switched on or off.
Normally, it takes between 1.5 and 4 hours to fully charge the 7535 internal battery.
7.8.6 Troubleshooting
The indicators, applications and drivers required to use and monitor the docking station are installed on the 7535 – no indicators or applications are present on the docking station itself.

Network Link Unsuccessful
If a network link fails, the 7535 application alerts the operator that the link was unsuccessful.

7.9 Portable Docking Module (PDM)
The Portable Docking Module (PDM) clips onto the base of the 7535 and is most often used to charge the 7535 battery when a desktop charger is not convenient. The
PDM also offers additional communication ports, making it useful for upgrading software in the 7535 from a USB-equipped laptop computer. Figure 7.2 on page 221 illustrates the connectors on the PDM.
• Align the pins on the PDM with the connectors on the base of the 7535.
• Gently snap the PDM into place on the base of the unit. Figure 7.1 on page 220 provides a visual representation of how to secure the PDM.
Important: The latching mechanism on the PDM is designed for quick installation and release. It is not meant for heavy duty use.
Psion Teklogix recommends using a powered cradle or combo charger in harsh environments.
