Batteries and Power

Overview

This section contains the following topics:

"Suspend Mode" starting on page 1-1

"Battery Warnings and Cautions" on page 1-2

"Battery Disposal" starting on page 1-4.

Suspend Mode

The Falcon will go into a suspend or sleep mode when it is idle for a period of time. This duration can be customized using the Power control panel (refer to "Power Off Tab" on page 2-30. Suspend mode works and looks just like you have turned the unit off. Press <Power> to suspend (put to sleep) the Falcon.

Press <Power> again for the Falcon to resume its previous state.

Use the Battery Power control panel to set the idle duration and the initiation of suspend mode. These features save battery power when the Falcon is not in use. Refer to "Power Off Tab" on page 2-30 for more information.

Suspending

The following conditions will put the unit into suspend (sleep) mode:

1.When the unit is on, press <Power> for 0.5 second to initiate suspend mode.

2.When the sleep timer expires, indicating that there has been no use for a specified period of time.

3.A discharged battery pack.

Batteries and Power

Resuming

Use one of the following methods to resume (wake up the Falcon):

Press <Power> to resume (wake up).

Put the Falcon into a dock.

Press the <Scan Trigger> to wake up the unit (handled version only).

When a battery pack is fully discharged while the unit is in suspend mode, the Falcon remains in the suspended mode until the battery pack is charged or external power is supplied via the dock or a power cable.

Battery Warnings and Cautions

 

Do not discharge the battery using any device except for the Falcon. When the

 

battery is used in devices other than the Falcon, it may damage the battery or

 

reduce its life expectancy. If the device causes an abnormal current to flow, it may

WARNING

cause the battery to become hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury.

 

Lithium-Ion battery packs may get hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury if exposed to abusive conditions. Be sure to follow the safety warnings listed below:

Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat.

Do not install the battery pack backwards so the polarity is reversed.

Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the battery pack to each other with any metal object (such as wire).

Do not carry or store the battery pack together with metal objects.

Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike it with a hammer, step on it or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.

Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.

Do not expose the battery pack to liquids, or allow the battery to get wet.

In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into your eye, do not rub the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.

1-2

Falcon® 4400 Series with Windows® CE

Battery Warnings and Cautions

Always charge the battery at 32°–113°F (0°–45°C) temperature range.

If you remove the battery pack or it becomes completely discharged, there is a 30 minute window in which to insert a charged battery pack before the backup batCAUTION tery fails. If your backup battery completely discharges, the contents of the RAM memory will be lost. If your back-up battery is less than fully charged, there is pro-

portionally smaller window of time available.

Use only the authorized power supplies, battery pack, chargers, and docks supplied by your Datalogic Mobile reseller. The use of any other power supplies can damage the Falcon and void your warranty. Refer to Appendix A for the correct

Power Supplies and Accessories.

Do not disassemble or modify the battery. The battery contains safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite.

Do not place the battery in or near fire, on stoves or other high temperature locations. Do not place the battery in direct sunlight, or use or store the battery inside unventilated areas such as cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery to generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the battery in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life expectancy.

Do not place the battery in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers or on induction cookware.

Immediately discontinue use of the battery if, while using, charging or storing the battery, the battery emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.

Datalogic Mobile recommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure maximum performance.

Backlight

Increasing backlight brightness can cause the battery pack to discharge at a faster rate. The battery discharge rate decreases with a decrease in backlight usage.

To change the Backlight settings, complete the following steps:

1.Select Start > Settings > Control Panel > Backlight to open the Backlight control panel. Some Falcon keypads also provide keyboard shortcuts to launch the Backlight control panel:

On the 26-key model press: <Fn>+<Backlight> ().

On the 48-key model press: <Fn>+<Backlight> ().

On the 52-key model press: <Fn>+< . >.

2.On the Brightness tab (refer to Figure 2-1), select one of the five (5) radio buttons to adjust the brightness to the desired setting by tapping it with the stylus. You can also use the <UP> and <DOWN> arrow keys to adjust this setting.

3.Auto Power-Save dims (rather than turning off) the backlight after 15 seconds of inactivity. This features does not change the behavior of the Auto-Off Settings. (Refer to "Power Configuration" on

page 2-30).
