About the Battery
The computer uses a rechargeable 3.6 V Li-ion battery as its main power source. The battery has a 14.6 watt hour capacity. Several factors determine the life of your battery, such as display brightness, display timeout, input device, extreme temperature, and your usage.
The CT50h battery (P/N 318-055-002) has the same specifications as the CT50 battery (P/N 318-055-001), but it is made out of specialty plastic designed for healthcare environments. The batteries are not interchangeable. Use only the battery designed for your model of computer.
Honeywell recommends that you keep the battery charged at all times to prevent data loss. When you change the battery, the computer automatically goes into a power-off state and then cold boots.
Contact your local sales representative for replacement batteries.
Charge the Battery
Make sure you fully charge the battery (Model CT50-BTSC) before you use your computer. You can charge the battery before or after you install it in the computer. It takes about 6 hours for the battery to fully charge in any of the accessories
Insert the battery into a Quad Battery Charger or the battery well of an eHomeBase.
or
Insert the computer with the battery installed into an eHomeBase, ChargeBase, NetBase, Quad Battery Charger, USB Adapter, or Vehicle Power Adapter.
Caution: The battery used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if it is mistreated. Do not disassemble it, heat it above 100 °C (212 °F), or incinerate it. Dispose of used batteries promptly. Keep away from children.
Caution: We recommend the use of Honeywell Li-ion battery packs. The use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage not
covered by the warranty. A non-Honeywell battery will not be
charged in the device or in a Honeywell charger.

Battery Conservation Tips
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.
Press and hold the Power button and then select Power off from the menu. After the computer turns off, remove the battery and insert a fully charged battery.
Stop using the computer for 5 minutes or more.
Make sure that the low battery status icon is not on the screen and that the battery status LED is not on. Press the Power button to suspend the computer.
Store the computer for more than a day.
If you are storing the computer for a few days (such as over the weekend), install a 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 battery outside of the computer.
Store the batteries in a charger.

About the Scanner
The internal scanner can read 1D and 2D bar code symbologies, composite symbologies, and postal codes. It also supports omni­directional scanning for greater flexibility in real-world settings. The image engine can also capture black and white images, such as signatures and pictures of damaged inventory.
How to Scan Bar Codes as Keyboard Input
The scan wedge feature sends scanned bar code data to an active application as Android keypad input. To scan a bar code as keyboard input, open an application that accepts text input and then scan a bar code. By default, scan wedging is enabled on the computer.
You can use applications that are coded to use the scanner or applications that receive data through the scan wedge feature. If an application claims the scanner through the BarcodeReader API, the scan wedge feature is temporarily disabled. You can find information on how to create custom applications for the computer in the Software Development Kit (SDK) available for download at

About the Phone
Phone features on the computer include a speaker and a microphone. You can also use a Bluetooth headset or hands-free kit. The phone feature is enabled by default.
The WWAN radio in your computer determines the supported network types:
If your computer includes the UMTS/HSPA+ WAN radio, you can connect to UMTS networks.
If your computer includes the Flexible Network Radio, you can connect to CDMA or UMTS networks in all regions that support these technologies. The Flexible Network Radio is a software-defined radio (SDR) that can be configured for CDMA or UMTS depending on your wireless communication needs.
Honeywell supports Verizon in the United States (only) as a CDMA network carrier. For other carriers, contact Honeywell Technical Support.
After you turn on the phone and activate service with your wireless carrier, you can customize the phone features and network settings in the Wireless & Networks section of the Settings app.
Activate the UMTS Phone
Activating the UMTS phone (Model CT50LUN) on your CT50 is done the same way whether your computer has the Flexible Network Radio or the UMTS/HSPA+WAN radio.
You use a SIM card to activate the UMTS phone on the CT50. You can purchase the SIM card from your network provider.
