CN50 Mobile Computer User’s Manual 3
Use this manual to understand how to use the CN50 and other
features and options available on it. For information about Windows
Mobile 6.1 applications installed on the CN50, refer to the online
help.
Using the Battery
The CN50 uses an AB24 standard or AB25 extended battery as its
main power source. The standard battery has a 7.2 Watt hour capacity,
and the extended battery has a 14.4 Watt hour capacity. Several
factors determine the life of your battery, such as extreme
temperatures, input devices, and your usage.
You must fully charge the battery before you can use the CN50. When
you change the battery, an internal super capacitor maintains your
status, memory, and real-time clock for approximately 5 minutes.
For replacement batteries, contact your Intermec representative.
Charging the Battery
Make sure you fully charge the AB24 or AB25 battery before you use
your CN50. You can charge the battery before or after you install it in
the CN50. A fully discharged battery charges in approximately 4
(AB24) to 6 (AB25) hours.
To charge the battery
• Insert up to four batteries into the AC21 quad battery charger.
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.
If you fail to replace the low battery immediately, you may lose
important data or applications.
Note: If the CN50 is not using external power and you remove the
battery pack, the CN50 goes into Suspend mode.
