Charging and Installing the Battery

CK60 Mobile Computer with Windows CE User's Manual
Dispose of used batteries promptly. 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. For example, if you use a
tethered scanner every day, you need to replace your battery more often
than someone who uses an internal scanner.
Note: The CK60 has an internal backup super capacitor which retains data
for an average of ten minutes after the battery is removed. It also shuts
down the CK60 if the battery suddenly goes away (removed from the
computer). Depending upon the processes running, it may not have
adequate power for a graceful shut down. If so, the CK60 performs a cold-
boot the next time power is applied.
In short, put the CK60 into a suspend (sleep) mode before you remove
the battery.
You can configure the battery power fail level so that after the system shuts
down in a low battery condition, there is still sufficient charge to allow the
unit to remain configured, keep proper time, and maintain DRAM
(Dynamic Random Access Memory) for at least ten minutes at room
temperature if the main battery remains in the handheld computer, using
the Power applet (see page
• The battery discharges beyond this level.
• The battery is removed when the computer is not in suspend mode.
Make sure you fully charge the battery before you install it in your CK60;
and that you take at least 20 minutes to initially charge the backup battery
using a charging dock before the backup system is fully functional.
To charge the battery
• Either insert the battery into the quad battery charger,
• or place the CK60 with battery installed in a single dock, a single dock
with modem, or a multidock.
The battery charge time is four hours or less on any of these docks if the
temperature is within the battery charging range.
You could also use a power adapter to keep the CK60 on full power.
For maximum efficiency, store your CK60 on external power with which to
charge your batteries.
For more information on these accessories, see
Computer" on page 19.
To install the battery, insert the tabs on the bottom of the charged battery
into the CK60 and snap the battery into place.
Below are things you can do to maximize the life of your battery.
