The Single Slot USB/Serial Cradle charges the EDA’s main battery and a spare battery simultaneously.

The EDA’s charge LED indicates the status of the battery charging in the EDA. See 

 for 

charging status indications.

The spare battery charging LED on the cradle indicates the status of the spare battery charging in the cradle. 
See

The standard battery fully charges in approximately four hours and the extended capacity battery fully charges 
in approximately eight hours.

Charge batteries in temperatures from 0

o

C to 40

o

C (32°F to 104°F). Note that at temperatures above 35

o

C, 

charging is intelligently controlled by the EDA and the charging accessory in order to ensure safe operation 
and optimize long-term battery life. 

To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the EDA or accessory alternately enables and disables battery 
charging to keep the battery at acceptable temperatures. The EDA or accessory indicates when charging is 
disabled due to abnormal temperatures via its LED. See 

 and 

This section describes how to set up and use a Four Slot Ethernet cradle with the EDA. For cradle
