Maximizing Battery Life

CN4 Series Mobile Computer User's Manual
Batteries are chemical devices. If the batteries are left sitting on a shelf
for long periods of time outside the CN4, the batteries slowly
discharge, eventually to zero if left uncharged. The battery chemistry
resists normal degradation if you store the battery in a charger as
opposed to leaving the battery in a discharged state. See the following
table for tips you can do to maximize the life of your battery.
Battery Conservation Tips
When You Want To:
Operate the CN4 and the
Low Battery status icon
appears or the Battery light
comes on.
Stop using the CN4 for five
minutes or longer.
Do This to Save Battery Power:
Press the power button to turn off the CN4.
Remove the battery and insert another fully
charged battery within five minutes or you may
lose data. Or, you can connect the CN4 to an
external power source.
