About the Battery
The computer uses a rechargeable Li-ion battery as its main power source. Several
factors determine the life of the battery, such as display brightness, display
timeout, input device, extreme temperature, and battery usage. Honeywell
recommends that you keep the battery charged at all times to prevent data loss.
Dolphin CT40 computers are designed for use with battery model CT50-BTSC
manufactured for Honeywell International Inc. For a list of compatible accessories
for the CT40 mobile computer series and their part numbers, see the Dolphin CT40
Accessory Guide, available for download from the CT40 product page at
www.honeywellaidc.com.
Contact your local sales representative for replacement battery ordering
information.
Caution: Improper battery replacement or incompatible device usage may
result in risk of burns, fire, explosion, or other hazard. Dispose of
lithium-ion batteries according to local regulations. Risk of fire and
burns if improperly handled. Do not open, crush, heat above 60°C
(140°F), or incinerate.

About Battery Life and Conservation
If you store the battery outside of the computer for long periods of time, the battery
slowly discharges. To maintain battery performance, storing the battery in a
charger is recommended. Use the reference table below to learn about how to
conserve battery power.
When You Want to: Do this to Save Battery Power:
Use the computer and the low
battery status icon appears or
the battery light turns on.
Stop using the computer for
5 minutes or more.
Store the computer for more
than a day.
Store the battery outside of the
computer.
Do one of the following:
• Connect the computer to a charging accessory.
• Replace the Battery (see page 5).
Make sure that the low battery status icon is not on the screen
and that the battery status LED is not on. Press and release the
Power button to suspend the computer.
• If you are storing the computer for a few days (such as over
the weekend), install a fully charged battery or connect the
computer to a power source.
• If you are storing the computer for a longer period of time,
remove and charge the battery. When the battery is done
charging, store both the battery and the computer is a cool
location.
• If you store the battery for several months, recharge the
battery periodically to keep it at peak performance.
Store the batteries in a charger.

Battery Recommendations and Safety Precautions
Caution: Improper battery replacement or incompatible device usage may
result in risk of burns, fire, explosion, or other hazard. Dispose of
lithium-ion batteries according to local regulations. Risk of fire and
burns if improperly handled. Do not open, crush, heat above 60°C
(140°F), or incinerate.
• For maximum battery life, charge the battery at 20 °C (68 °F) to 25 °C (77 °F)
and store at 20 °C (68°F) with a 30%-50% charge.
• Do not store the battery at temperatures above 60 °C (140 °F). Storage above
60 °C (140 °F) may damage the battery.
• Charge the battery before use. Battery ships with only a partial charge.
• See Charge the Battery Before Use on page 5 for approved charging methods.
Use of this battery in other devices could result in damage to the device or
battery.
• Avoid dropping the battery or computer. If you suspect that the battery or
computer is damaged, send it to Honeywell service center for inspection.
• Replace the battery only with another CT50-BTSC model battery (Battery Part
Numbers, see page 4). This battery has been tested in accordance with
applicable safety standards. Contact your Honeywell sales representative or
distributor if this battery is no longer available.
• Discarded batteries may create a safety hazard. Before disposal, cover the
battery contacts with electrical insulating tape.
• Do not modify the battery or attempt to insert foreign objects into it.
• Do not solder directly to the battery contacts.
• Do not drop the battery or apply mechanical shocks or pressure to it.
• Do not immerse batteries into, or expose them to, water or seawater.
• Do not incinerate, microwave, throw into a fire, or expose batteries to
temperatures above the maximum rating.
• Do not dissemble a battery or try to open or penetrate its housing.
Enable Airplane Mode
If you do not need to connect to any wireless networks, you can enable Airplane
mode to turn off the radios and save battery power.
1. Swipe up from the bottom of the Home screen to access all apps.
2. Tap Settings > Network & Internet.
3. Tap Advanced.
Dolphin CT40 Mobile Computer 11
4. Tap the toggle button next to Airplane mode. An airplane icon appears in
the status bar to indicate Airplane mode is turned on.
Power On the Computer
After you have fully charged and installed a battery, power on the computer for the
first time:
• Press and hold the Power button for approximately 3 seconds, and then release
the button.
Welcome Screen
The first time you power on the computer, a Welcome screen appears. You can

How to Transfer Files
To transfer files you need to physically connect the CT40 mobile computer to your
workstation (e.g., laptop or desktop computer) through a USB connection.
When the mobile computer is connected and USB is configured for file or photo
transfer, use a file browser (e.g., File Explorer or Windows Explorer) on your
workstation to transfer files between the two computers. If you are transferring files
to and from a Mac, use the Android File Transfer application (available from
www.android.com/filetransfer).

the USB connection for transferring files or photos.
