Charging your ZF MultiScan properly is key to ensure battery longevity as well as optimal performance. In this guide, we’ll explore the best practices for charging your tablet, including the correct charging port, charging adapters and what to do in the rare event of a completely discharged battery.
To charge your tablet, always use the included AC charging adapter.
Never connect any type of charger to the USB ports.
The power button LED is red when charging and green when charged.
If the tablet will sit idle for an extended period of time, we suggest leaving the AC adapter plugged in to maintain healthy batteries. Smart charging prevents overcharging.
In the rare case of a discharged battery, you may need to perform a charging reset.
To do so, connect the AC power cable. A red battery icon will appear. The battery icon will disappear, this should take about three seconds.
Press and hold the power button until the red battery icon reappears, then release the power button.
Wait three seconds, then press and hold the power button again to turn on the device.
