Use the next table to understand how long it takes to charge your
batteries in each of the CK3 charger or dock accessories.
Removing and Installing the Battery
To maximize the time allowed to replace the main battery pack, put
the CK3 in suspend mode before removing the battery pack.
To remove and install the battery
1 Press and hold for about 2 seconds. When you release , the
CK3 goes into suspend mode.
2 If necessary, disconnect the handstrap from the bottom of the
CK3.
3 Press the battery release tab toward the battery until the battery
releases, and then lift it away from the CK3.
4 Insert the battery into the CK3, and press down on the battery
until it clicks into place.
Maximizing Battery Life
Batteries are chemical devices. If the batteries are left sitting on a shelf
for long periods of time outside the CK3, 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 to maximize the life of your battery.
