Batteries that are stored outside the computer for long periods of time
slowly discharge. Intermec recommends storing the battery in a
charger to maintain battery performance.
Battery Conservation Tips
When You Want to:
Use the computer and the low
battery status icon appears or the
battery light turns on.
Stop using the computer for 5
minutes or longer.
Store the computer for more than
a day.
Store the battery outside the
computer.
Do this to Save Battery Power:
Connect the computer to an external
power source. Save your data, press the
Power button, and select Hibernate .
After the computer turns off, remove the
battery and insert a fully charged battery.
Make sure that the low battery status icon
is not on the screen and the battery status
LED is not on. Press the Power button
and select Suspend to suspend the
computer. If you have a CK3X, the
accelerometer lets you lay the computer
face down and it will automatically
suspend.
