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.

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 change the 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
• 56-key full alphanumeric
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. 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).
