Maximizing Battery Life

6
To install the battery
• Insert the tabs on the bottom of the charged battery into the
CK31 and snap the battery into place.
Inserting the AB1G Battery
There are several things that you can do to extend the life of
your fully charged battery.
• Verify that Radio Power Management is enabled (Fast PSP).
Enabling radio power management allows your radio to
switch between awake and sleep modes based on network
traffic. If you use the default setting of disabled (CAM), you
will have the best network performance (data throughput) but
it will draw the most power from your battery.
• Verify that the backlight timeout is set to 15 seconds.
• Verify that each setting under Power Management (User Idle,
System Idle, and Suspend) has a value of 1 minute for a
combined automatic shutoff time of 3 minutes.
You can use Intermec Settings to easily make all of these
configuration changes. For help, see "Configuring the CK31
With Intermec Settings" on page 40.
