Chapter 3: Getting To Know Your Ikôn
The Battery
Ikôn Rugged PDA (Windows CE 5.0) User Manual 31
3.1 The 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.
3.1.1 Battery Safety
3.1.2 Removing The Battery Pack
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.
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.
Important: Always switch the unit off before opening the battery cover to remove
the battery.
