Do this to Save Battery Power:
•
Connect the computer to an external power
source.
•
Or, 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 enabled the Sleep face down feature
in Intermec Settings, the CN51 automatically
suspends when you lay the computer face down.
•
If you are storing the computer for a few
days, like over the weekend, install a charged
battery or connect the computer to a power
source.
•
If you are storing the computer for longer,
remove and charge the battery, and then
store both the battery and computer in a cool
location. Do not place the charged battery in
the computer, which runs the battery down
over time even when the computer is not in
use.
•
If you store the battery for several months,
recharge the battery to keep it at peak
performance.
Store the battery in a charger.
