The Battery

3.1The Battery

The Ikôn operates with a Lithium Ion battery pack, Model No. CH3000. Preparing the unit for operation requires that a battery pack be charged and installed in the Ikôn.

3.1.1Battery Safety

Important: Before attempting to install, use or charge the battery pack, it is critical that you review and follow the important safety guidelines in the quick reference guide entitled Ikôn Rugged PDA Regulatory & Warranty Guide Regulatory

&Warranty Guide, PN 8000148.

3.1.2Removing The Battery Pack

Important: Always switch the unit off before opening the battery cover to remove the battery.

Refer to “Installing The Battery” on page 11.

3.1.2.1 Battery Swap Time

Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been al- tered, battery swap time is a minimum of 10 minutes—you will not lose data if the battery is replaced within this time frame.

To protect data, the safest place to store data is on a microSD memory card or externally to the device on a USB memory stick or on a PC. You can also save data in the “Flash Disk” partition of the file system.

The Suspend Threshold adjustment in the Power Properties tab allows you to determine the battery capacity at which the Ikôn will be shut down. If left at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the unit will run until the battery is completely empty; the RAM is only backed up for a short period of time. If you choose Maximum Backup Time, the Ikôn shuts off with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer period

of time.
