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 CN2A
Locally With Intermec Settings” on page 34.
Checking the Battery Status
The easiest way to tell the status of your battery is to look at the
battery icon on the taskbar of your CN2A. For help locating the
taskbar, see the illustration on page 13.
Using the Keypad
The CN2A has either an 18-key numeric keypad or a 10-key
scroll keypad.
Using the Numeric Keypad
You enter all of the characters and functions printed on the keys
just like you would on a standard keyboard.
