2.4. BATTERY
The mobile computer is fed by two batteries, main battery pack and backup battery. The
main battery is removable and replaceable from battery chamber while the backup battery
is mounted on the main board inside the mobile computer.
When the mobile computer is shipped, the main battery is stored in a package separated
from the mobile computer, which keeps it in good condition for future use.
MAIN BATTERY
The main battery is a Li-ion battery pack that comes in two sizes, a standard 3.7V/3600mAh
pack and an extended 3.7V/4400mAh pack. Both types will take around 4 hours to charge
to full. The working time of the mobile computer varies by its working states. Under normal
operation, it works for at least 12 hours. An icon on Title Bar

See also Main Battery Setup
for the assembly.
BACKUP BATTERY
The backup battery settles on the main board inside the mobile computer. It is a 15 mAh
rechargeable Li-ion battery. When main battery is absent or depleted, backup battery takes
over to feed the mobile computer. Without main battery, a fully charged backup battery
retains the data in the DRAM and holds the system in suspension for 30 minutes(as long as
wireless modules are inactive).
The backup battery is rechargeable by the external power (through power adapter) or main
battery pack. It takes about ˈ8 hours to charge it to full. An

when mobile computer is near 100% charged.
Backup battery: The backup battery is rechargeable by both main battery and power adapter.
It takes about 8 hours to charge it to full, however it does not need to be fully charged for the
mobile computer to work.
Charging Temperature
It is recommended that batteries be charged at room temperature (18°C~25°C) for optimal
performance.
Charging stops when temperature drops below 0°C or exceeds 35°C. In this case the battery
charging LED will be continuously blinking in red.
Power Consumption
When all radios (802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth, mobile data (HSPA+), GPS) are active on battery
power, main battery level drops substantially.
In order to prevent the system from shutting down due to depleted main battery, we suggest
that you keep a fully charged battery for replacement or have the mobile computer access the
radios on external power.
The following guides how to charge batteries.
DIRECT CHARGING USING SNAP-ON CABLE
Direct charging the mobile computer relies on the Snap-on Charging & Communication
Cable (hereinafter “snap-on cable”). There is a power jack on the connector of this cable to
connect external power.
Prior to charging, install main battery as described in Main Battery Setup
steps below:
1) Attach the snap-on cable to the mobile computer.
2) Plug the head of the power adapter cord into the power jack located on snap-on cable’s
connector.
3) Connect the power adapter to a power outlet.

2.4.3. MONITOR BATTERY LEVEL
Main battery is the only source that feeds the mobile computer to work. It also supplies the
backup battery on main board to retain the data stored in DRAM. Hence when main battery
level gets low, recharge it or change it as soon as possible. But foremost, back up the
important data from time to time to protect your work.
MAIN BATTERY LEVEL
The O.S. features a few icons for user’s immediate awareness of main battery level. These
icons avail themselves of Title Bar
screen.

LOW BATTERY ALERTS
When main battery level drops below 40% , the mobile computer prompts “Main Battery
Low” for a recharge. When further reduced to under 20%, the mobile computer prompts
“Main Battery Very low” to solicit your immediate transaction.
Main Battery Very Lowprompt
Low battery may incur shutdown to the mobile computer and cause DRAM data damage.
Always save data before running short of power or keep a fully charged battery at hand for
replacement.

CP60 Mobile Computer Reference Manual
Note: Constant usage of the mobile computer at low battery level can affect battery life. For
maximum performance, recharge the battery periodically to avoid battery drain out and
maintain good battery health.
When main battery drains out entirely, the mobile computer shuts down automatically.
Backup battery takes over to hold DRAM data for 30 minutes if it is fully charged. When this
occurs, replace main battery pack immediately.

2.4.4. POWER MANAGEMENT
The mobile computer features “suspension”, a “soft-off” state allowing the mobile computer
to consume less power and quickly to wake up.
The mobile computer auto-enters “suspension” when one of the following happens:
When placed face-down, which suggests the mobile computer isn’t actively used.
When battery door isn’t in place.
And it wakes up from the following events:
Power button or scan key pressed
WWAN ringing signal
USB cable plugging
Note the mobile computer is also manually suspensible through Power button. See Suspend
Mobile Computer.

resemblance to laptop or PC keyboards. It supports multi-key operation, which normally
requires two keys hit simultaneously, one of which a modifier key,
The physical keypad is either a numeric type or a QWERTY one. Each wedges a set of
“enhanced keys” along the top and a set of character keys at the lower half.
As for entering text, the numeric and QWERTY keypad are equally capable of entering
numbers, letters, symbols and a few punctuations. Both also receive supplementary
backlight as the screen does.
