2.1 Preparing The Ikôn For Operation

2.1.1 The Battery

The Ikôn is powered with a 5000 mAh Lithium-Ion battery pack, model number CH3000.
Before charging the battery, it is critical that you review the battery safety guidelines in the
“Ikôn Rugged PDA Warranty & Regulatory Guide”, PN 8000148.
Battery packs shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% and must be fully
charged prior to use. Batteries can be charged using a variety of chargers and docking sta-
tions along with an Ikôn internal charger. When using the internal charger, a suitable power
source is required. All chargers and docking stations are described in Chapter7: “Peripheral
Devices & Accessories”.

2.1.2 Installing The Battery

• To unlock the battery cover, turn the left-hand battery fastener to the left, and turn the
right-hand battery fastener to the right.
• Remove the battery cover.
• Snap the charged battery into the Ikôn. Replace the battery cover, and lock the fasteners.

2.1.3 Switching The Ikôn Rugged PDA On

• Press and hold down the Power button for at least one second.
• When the centre LED flashes yellow, release the Power button.
The desktop Today screen is displayed.
Important: If the Ikôn is switched on and you need to remove the battery, press and hold
down the Power button until the ‘Shutdown’ screen is displayed. Choose
‘Shutdown’ and tap on OK before removing the battery.
Note: If the Ikôn was already in use and is in suspend state, pressing the Power button
‘wakes’ it from this state. The screen in which you were working prior to the suspend
state is displayed.
