Ensure all components are dry prior to placing the
battery in the computer. Mating wet components may
cause damage not covered by the warranty.

changed or charged in an area known to be
non-hazardous. Use ONLY Honeywell CN75 NI battery

The CN75/CN75e NI mobile computer ships with a partially
charged battery. Charge the battery with a 70 Series charging
device for a minimum of 6 hours.

Using the computer while charging the battery increases the
time required to reach a full charge. If the CN75/CN75e is
drawing more current than supplied by the charging source,
charging will not take place. For additional information, see the
user guide.

We recommend the use of Honeywell peripherals,
power cables and power adapters. Use of any non­Honeywell accessories or power adapters may cause
damage not covered by the warranty.

CN75/CN75e NI mobile computers are designed for use with
the following charging accessories: DX1 Desktop Dock, DX2
Dual Dock, and DX4 Quad Dock and a power supply.

Ensure all components are dry prior to mating the
computers and batteries with peripheral devices.
