Managing Your Battery Power
To maximize the life of the terminal’s backup battery and main battery pack, use these
power management features.
Tip:
Always keep a charged or partially charged main battery pack in the terminal.
Situation Ways to Save Battery Power
You are not using the terminal
for 5 minutes or longer.
Press
L to turn off the terminal and put it in Suspend
mode. Suspend mode maximizes the life of the main
battery pack’s power. Make sure the battery pack is
charged (not in a low battery state).
Or, use the Automatic Shutoff feature. Automatic
shutoff turns off the terminal (Suspend mode) when
there is no activity on the terminal for the length of
time you set. For help, see “Automatic Shutoff” in
Chapter 9.
You are operating the terminal
and the main battery pack
charge becomes low. (The
Battery icon remains on solid.)
Press L to put the terminal in Suspend mode.
Remove the main battery pack and insert another
charged battery pack. For help, see “Main Battery
Pack” earlier in this chapter.
You are operating the terminal
and the backup battery charge
becomes low. (The Battery icon
blinks.)
Press L to put the terminal in Suspend mode. Keep a
charged main battery pack installed in the terminal.
The battery pack will fully charge the backup battery
in approximately 18 hours.
Note: If you use the terminal in a cold temperature environment, battery life will be
reduced. For more information, see “Guidelines for Managing Batteries” in Chapter 6.
