Using the Battery
The CN3 Series computers use the following Intermec batteries as a
main power source. All have been certified to meet the IEEE 1725
standard for rechargeable batteries.
Standard batteries have 8.1 Watt hours capacity and extended
batteries have 14.8 Watt hours capacity. You must fully charge the
battery before you can use the CN3.
Dispose of used batteries promptly. Keep away from children. Contact
your Intermec representative for replacement batteries.
Charging the Battery
The battery pack should be fully charged before you use the CN3 for
the first time. If battery temperatures are within the battery charging
range of 0° to 40°C (32° to 104°F), the standard battery pack takes
up to four hours to charge. The extended battery pack takes up to five
hours.
