Charging the Battery

The CN3 uses replaceable Lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries. Standard packs
have 8.1 Watt hours capacity and extended packs have 14.8 Watt hours
capacity. You must fully charge the battery before you can use the CN3.
The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn
hazard if it is mistreated. Do not disassemble it, heat it above 100°C
(212°F) or incinerate it.
If you fail to replace the battery immediately, you may lose important
data or applications.
Note: If the CN3 is not on external power and the battery pack is removed,
it will suspend when the battery pack is removed.
When the battery reaches the end of its useful life, the spent battery should
be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous materials handler. Do
not mix this battery with the solid waste stream. Contact your Intermec
Technologies Service Center for recycling or disposal information.
Note: In the U.S.A., the EPA does not consider spent Li-ion batteries as
hazardous waste.
Keep away from children. Contact your Intermec representative for
replacement batteries.
Several factors determine the life of your battery such as extreme
temperatures, input devices, and your usage. When you change the battery,
an internal super capacitor maintains your status, memory, and real-time
clock for approximately 5 minutes.
To maximize the time allowed to replace the main battery pack
• Put the CN3 in a suspend mode before removing the battery pack.
The battery pack should be fully charged before you use the CN3 for the
first time. If temperatures are within the battery charging range of 0° to
45°C (32° to 113°F), the standard battery pack takes up to four hours to
charge; the extended battery pack takes up to five hours.
The battery is fully charged when its battery status LED shows a steady
green. You can charge the battery pack using a quad battery pack charger, a
single dock spare battery pack charge slot, or a CN3 with external power
applied.
