About the Internal UPS Battery
The CV41C contains an internal UPS battery that is automatically
charged when the CV41C is placed in a powered smart dock. The UPS
battery can power the CV41C for a minimum of 30 minutes at -20
°F) or higher. The UPS battery allows you to continue using the
(-4
CV41C when not mounted in a dock or when the vehicle battery is
being changed.
If the UPS battery becomes critically low on power, the CV41C
performs a controlled shutdown. You can recharge it by placing the
CV41C back into the smart dock. You can fully charge a discharged
UPS battery in approximately 4 hours.

If you are going to use the CV41C in extreme cold conditions for an
extended period of time, you should turn on the power at room
temperature for at least 15 minutes prior to using it. This process of
“warming up” helps preserve the lighting on the display.
The default screen appears on the display when you turn on the

You can purchase an a WI-FI or GPS antenna to mount on a wall,
forklift, or other flat surface using either screws or small patches of
adhesive-backed hook and loop fastener material.
Since system performance and antenna polarization are
site-dependent, a permanent mounting location may require some
experimentation. In most fixed installations, you should mount the
antenna initially in a vertically-polarized position, with the cable from
the antenna parallel to the floor and ceiling. For information on
purchasing an antenna, contact your local Intermec sales
representative.
