Using the Battery
The CN3 uses an AB8, AB9, AB15, or AB16 Lithium-ion (Li-
ion) battery as its main power source. The CN3e uses an AB9 or
AB16 extended battery for the main power source. Standard
batteries have 8.1 Watt hours capacity and extended batteries
have 14.8 Watt hours capacity. You must fully charge the battery
before you can use the CN3.
When you change the battery, an internal super capacitor
maintains your status, memory, and real-time clock for
approximately 5 minutes.
Dispose of used batteries promptly. Keep away from children.
Contact your Intermec representative for replacement batteries.
Several factors determine the life of your battery such as extreme
temperatures, input devices, and your usage. When you change
the battery, an internal super capacitor maintains your status,
memory, and real-time clock for approximately 5 minutes.
Charging the Battery
The battery pack should be fully charged before you use the CN3
for the first time. If temperatures are within the battery charging
range of 0° to 40°C (32° to 104°F), the standard battery pack
takes up to four hours to charge; the extended battery pack takes
up to five hours.
The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical
burn hazard if it is mistreated. Do not disassemble it, heat it
above 100°C (212°F) or incinerate it.
If you fail to replace the low battery immediately, you may lose
important data or applications.
Note: If the CN3 is not on external power and you remove the
battery pack, it goes into Suspend mode.
