CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer User’s Manual 3

Chapter 1 — Using the CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer

Using the Battery

The CK32 I-Safe uses a Model AB6 (P/N 318-021-xxx) lithiumion battery as its main power source. You must fully charge the main battery before you can use the CK32 I-Safe. When you change the battery, a backup battery maintains your status, memory, and real-time clock for at least 10 minutes. You must suspend your CK32 I-Safe before removing the battery, or data loss may occur..

If the battery is at a critical level, you may not be able to boot the device. You must replace the battery with a fully charged battery

The lithium-ion battery pack that is 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.

When the battery reaches the end of its useful life, the spent battery should be disposed of by a qualified recycler or hazardous

Li-ionLi-ion

materials handler. Do not mix this battery with the solid waste stream. Contact your Intermec Technologies Service Center for recycling or disposal information.

Note: In the U.S.A., the EPA does not consider spent lithium-ion batteries as hazardous waste.

Charging and Installing the Battery

Make sure you fully charge the AB6 battery before using your CK32 I-Safe.

To charge the battery

• Insert the battery into the AC11 4-slot battery charger. Charging time is approximately 10 to 12 hours.

To install the battery

You must suspend your CK32 I-Safe before removing the battery, or data loss may occur.

• Insert the tabs on the bottom of the charged battery into the CK32 I-Safe and snap the battery into place.

Explosion Hazard – Use Intermec battery pack Model AB6 only. It is rated as Intrinsically Safe but it MUST NOT BE CHANGED while in a Class II or Class III environment. The battery can be changed in a Class I (gas) environment.

Class I, II, and III apply only to the US and Canada. For most other countries, the battery can be changed in Group II G environments but not in Group II D environments.

CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer User’s Manual 5

Chapter 1 — Using the CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer

Maximizing Battery Life

There are several things that you can do to extend the life of your fully charged battery.

• Verify that Radio Power Management is enabled (Fast PSP). Enabling radio power management allows your radio to switch between awake and sleep modes based on network traffic. If you use the default setting of disabled (CAM), you will have the best network performance (data throughput) but it will draw the most power from your battery.

• Verify that the backlight timeout is set to 15 seconds.

• Verify that each setting under Power Management (Device timeout, Screen timeout) has a value of 1 minute.

You can use Intermec Settings to easily make all of these configuration changes.

Checking the Battery Status

You can check the battery status by looking at the Battery icon on the front of the CK32 I-Safe or by checking the Power Settings. Tap the Battery icon on the Status bar or use the following procedure to check the Power Settings on your CK32 I-Safe. Either method will take you to the Settings display which indicates the percent of battery charge remaining.

To check the Power Settings

1 Ta p Start. The Start menu appears.

2 Ta p Settings > System.

3 Tap th e Power icon. The Power Settings display appears.

Chapter 1 — Using the CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer

Understanding the Low Battery Warnings

When the battery charge is getting low, you will receive an audible alert and an initial pop-up warning message with a blue border. The warning message indicates “Main Battery Low. To prevent possible data loss, replace or recharge your battery according to the owner’s manual.” A second battery icon with an ! inside also appears on the Status bar.

If the first warning is not dismissed, it is followed by another audible alert and a second pop-up warning message with a red border. This message indicates “Main Battery Very Low. To prevent possible data loss, replace or recharge your battery according to the owner’s manual.”

If the battery charge continues to drop, the red battery status LED blinks and the CK32 I-Safe enters Suspend mode. If the battery charge continues to drop, the battery status LED will stop blinking

You can change the audible alert using the Sounds & Notifications applet.

To c hange t he audible alert

•Tap Settings > Personal > Sounds & Notifications.

CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer User’s Manual 7

Chapter 1 — Using the CK32 I-Safe Handheld Computer

Using the Keypad

Your CK32 I-Safe has one of the following keypad overlay options:

• 42-key large numeric and function

• 42-key 3270/5250

•42-key VT/ANSI

• 56-key full alphanumeric and function

• 56-key 3260/5250

•56-key VT/ANSI

You enter all of the characters and functions printed above the keys just like you would on a standard keypad.

Note: You must use the color-coded keys to access several hidden characters (such as { and }) on the CK32 I-Safe keypad.

The CK32 I-Safe supports TE 2000 VT100/220/320/340 and ANSI, TE 2000 5250, and TE 2000 3270, and Native. Use the TE 2000 keypad overlays to enter the same keys that you can enter on a VT/ANSI keyboard, and IBM 5250 keyboard, or an IBM 3270 keyboard. Like the standard CK32 I-Safe overlay, the TE 2000 keypad overlays let you enter all the characters printed on or above the keys. The terminal emulation keypads also come with the same color-coded keys that are on the standard overlay.

For help using TE 2000 terminal emulation, see the TE 2000 Terminal Emulation Programmer’s Guide (P/N 977-055-xxx).
