1.4.2. CHARGE BATTERIES
Due to shipment, it is likely that the main battery and backup battery won’t be fully charged
when you receive the package. Before setting the mobile computer to work, charge the
main battery to full by direct charging via a power adapter (with the help of a Snap- on
Charging & Communication Cable or Charging & Communication Cradle).
Some key facts about charging batteries:
Charging Time
Main battery: It takes circa 4 hours to charge standard size main battery, and 6 hours to charge
high capacity battery to full (via direct charging with power adapter). The battery charging LED
above the touchscreen (the one to the right) lights red or orange during charging (depending on
the battery level at the moment), and lights green when mobile computer is near 100% charged.
Backup battery: The backup battery is rechargeable by the main battery. It takes about 5
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.
15
CP60 Mobile Computer (WEH) Reference Manual

1.4.4. 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.
It wakes up when following events occur:
Power button or scan key is pressed
WWAN wake-on-ring signal occurs
USB cable is plugged-in
AC is plugged in
Note the mobile computer is also manually suspendable through Power button. See
Suspend Mobile Computer.
1.4.5. OPTIMIZE BATTERY LIFE
Power issues are critical for portable devices. Always turn off the features you don’t need on
the mobile computer in order to save power. To extend battery life as long as possible,
always take the following actions:
Suspend the mobile computer when it isn’t actively used. (See Suspend Mobile

1.5. KEYPAD
The mobile computer has a physical keypad and a touchscreen to receive user’s input.
Among the two, the touchscreen provides more intuitiveness in interacting with the device.
This section shows how to input text using physical keypad and onscreen keyboard. To
know how to operate the mobile computer using the touchscreen, see
Touch Control.
1.5.1. PHYSICAL KEYPAD
The physical keypad on the front of the mobile computer bears much resemblance to laptop
or PC keyboards. It supports multi-key operation, which normally requires two keys hit
simultaneously, one of which is 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 punctuations. Both also receive supplementary backlight
along with the screen.
Figure 9: Numeric Keypad Figure 10: QWERTY Keypad
ENHANCED KEYS
Enhanced keys are arranged along the top of the physical keypad, separate from the
character keys. Use these “enhanced keys” to launch actions on the mobile computer and
OS, operate the active application, or switch the physical keypad between input modes.
Navigation keys are included also to move the caret in a text input field, and to select
between applications on the Start screen.

1.6. TOUCH CONTROL
The mobile computer’s LCD is overlaid by a resistive touch panel and thus forms a resistive
touchscreen. Since a resistive touchscreen locates the user’s touch by the force appli ed on
it, by operating with the stylus one can apply minimum force to trigger actions from the
touchscreen.
Touch control is one of the main ways to interact with the mobile computer. It provides the
ability to manipulate icons, buttons, menu commands, the onscreen keyboard, or any
onscreen items.
1.6.1. USE TOUCHSCREEN
The mobile computer comes with a stylus. Use it to touch-operate the mobile computer.
Apply the gestures below to work on the touchscreen:
Tap – Touch any item on the screen such as an application icon or a setting icon to work
on it, or touch any key on the onscreen keyboard to type it.
Tap and hold – Touch an item on the screen and do not release until an action occurs.
Drag – Touch and hold an item for a moment and then, without release, move the item
onscreen until you reach the target.
Flick – Quickly move the stylus across the surface of the screen. Note when the stylus
contacts the screen, do not pause so you don’t drag an item instead. Flick is helpful, for
example, for scrolling up or down a list.
Double-tap – Touch quickly twice on certain s creens to zoom. For example, double-tap
a section of a webpage in a web browser to zoom that section so it fits the widt h of the
screen. Some applications such as map-info applications support picture zooming with
double-tap.
Rotate screen – On most screens, the screen rotates as the mobile computer changes
its orientations between upright and sideways.
1.6.2. SCREEN ORIENTATION
The mobile computer has a built-in G-sensor for screen orientation. In order to enable
