Overview

TekCharge

™

MP2250 is a rechargeable power source to charge and power your CradlePoint portable

router (model numbers CTR500, PHS300 and CTR350). The package includes brackets designed
specifically for mounting the battery to one of these routers, and the adapter tip for connecting to
the router’s power jack. To charge TekCharge MP2250, you will use the CradlePoint power adapter
(5V, 2.5A - 3.0A).

This lightweight battery also can be used to charge other 5V devices. In that case, the compatible
adapter tip is required.

Troubleshooting

If TekCharge MP2250 does not power your router or other 5V device, take these steps:
1.  Verify that the TekCharge battery is charged.
2.  Check that the input/output cord is connected to both TekCharge and the router or other 5V device.
3.  If connecting TekCharge to another portable device with a DC jack, ensure that the adapter tip fits snugly

into the power jack and that the polarity of the device power jack is center positive. If the polarity is center
negative, do not power the device with TekCharge as it does not support center negative.

3. If connecting TekCharge to another portable device, verify that a battery is installed in the portable device

as some devices will not function without a battery installed.

4. If connecting TekCharge to another portable device, determine if your device is designed with charging

circuitry that limits the input voltage. If so, TekCharge may not be able to power or charge the device.
(For example, if a device is designed to accept only a 4.2V input, then TekCharge may not be able to
power or charge the device.)
