Using the CK30 Battery
The CK30 uses an AB1 lithium-ion battery as its main power
source. You must fully charge the main battery before you can
use the CK30.
If you fail to replace the battery immediately, you may lose
important data or applications.
Attention: Si la batterie n’est pas remplacée immédiatement,
des données ou applications importantes risquent d’être
perdues.
4 CK30 Handheld Computer User’s Manual
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.
Avertissement: Le paquet de piles d’ions de lithium qui est
utilisé dans cet appareil peut presenter un risque feu ou un
risque chimique de brûlure s’il est maltraité. Il ne faut pas le
désassembler, le réchauffer à une température plus élevée que
100° C (212° F) ou l’incinérer.
Dispose of used battery packs promptly. Keep away from
children. Contact your local Intermec sales representative for
replacement batteries.
Several factors determine the life of your battery such as extreme
temperatures, input devices, and your usage. For example, if you
use a tethered scanner every day, you will need to replace your
battery more often than someone who uses an internal scanner.
