Maximizing Battery Life

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

Set the backlight timeout to 10 seconds.

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.

Verify that each setting under Power Management has a value of 1 minute for a combined automatic shutoff time of 3 minutes.

You can use Intermec Settings to easily make all of these configuration changes. For help, see “Configuring the CN2G Locally With Intermec Settings” on page 24.

Checking the Battery Status

The easiest way to tell the status of your battery is to look at the battery icon on the status bar of your CN2G.
