About Battery Life and Conservation
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: Do this to Save Battery Power:
Use the computer and the low
battery status icon appears or the
battery light turns on.
• 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.
Stop using the computer for 5
minutes or longer.
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.
Store the computer for more than
a day.
• 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 outside the
computer.
Store the battery in a charger.
