About the Battery
The CT50 uses a rechargeable 3.6 V Li-ion battery as its main power
source. The battery has a 14.6 watt hour capacity. Several factors
determine the life of your battery, such as display brightness, display
timeout, input device, extreme temperature, and your usage.
Honeywell recommends that you keep the battery charged at all times to
prevent data loss. When you change the battery, the computer
automatically goes into a power-off state and then cold boots.
Contact your local sales representative for replacement batteries.
Charge the Battery
Make sure you fully charge the battery (Model CT50-BTSC) before you
use your CT50. You can charge the battery before or after you install it in
the CT50. It takes about 6 hours for the battery to fully charge in any of
the accessories
•Insert the battery into a Quad Battery Charger or the battery well of
an eHomeBase.
or
•Insert the CT50 with the battery installed into an eHomeBase,
ChargeBase, NetBase, Quad Battery Charger, USB Adapter, or
Vehicle Power Adapter (not supported on the CT50 Healthcare
computer).
Caution: The battery used in this device may present a fire or
chemical burn hazard if it is mistreated. Do not disassemble it, heat
it above 100 °C (212 °F), or incinerate it. Dispose of used batteries
promptly. Keep away from children.
Caution: We recommend the use of Honeywell Li-ion battery packs.
The use of any non-Honeywell battery may result in damage not
covered by the warranty. A non-Honeywell battery will not be
charged in the device or in a Honeywell charger.

About the Scanner
The internal scanner can read 1D and 2D bar code symbologies,
composite symbologies, and postal codes. It also supports omni-
directional scanning for greater flexibility in real-world settings. The
image engine can also capture black and white images, such as
signatures and pictures of damaged inventory.
How to Scan Bar Codes as Keyboard Input
The scan wedge feature sends scanned bar code data to an active
application as Android keypad input. To scan a bar code as keyboard
input, open an application that accepts text input and then scan a bar
code. By default, scan wedging is enabled on the CT50 computer.
You can use applications that are coded to use the scanner or
applications that receive data through the scan wedge feature. If an
application claims the scanner through the BarcodeReader API, the
scan wedge feature is temporarily disabled. You can find information on
how to create custom applications for the CT50 in the Software

About the Phone
Phone features on the computer include a speaker and a microphone.
You can also use a Bluetooth headset or hands-free kit. The phone
feature is enabled by default.
The WAN radio in your computer determines the supported network
types:
•If your computer includes the UMTS/HSPA+ WAN radio, you can
connect to UMTS networks.
•If your computer includes the Flexible Network Radio, you can
connect to CDMA or UMTS networks in all regions that support these
technologies. The Flexible Network Radio is a software-defined radio
(SDR) that can be configured for CDMA or UMTS depending on your
wireless communication needs.
Honeywell supports Verizon in the United States (only) as a CDMA
network carrier. For other carriers, contact Honeywell Technical
Support.
After you turn on the phone and activate service with your wireless
carrier, you can customize the phone features and network settings in
the Wireless & Networks section of the Settings app.
Activate the UMTS Phone
Activating the UMTS phone (Model CT50LUN) on your CT50 is done the
same way whether your computer has the Flexible Network Radio or the
UMTS/HSPA+WAN radio.
You use a SIM card to activate the UMTS phone on the CT50. You can
purchase the SIM card from your network provider.
1Power off the CT50.
2Disconnect the handstrap from the bottom of the computer.
3Press and slide the battery door toward the bottom of the computer
to unlock the door.
4Lift up on the edge of the battery and remove it from the computer.
Note: Both WWAN radios support Network Information and Time Zone
(NITZ) messages to automatically set the system time.

Activate the CDMA Phone
To activate the CDMA phone (Model CT50LFN) in your mobile computer,
you need to contact your wireless carrier and set up an account.
You also need to provide the carrier with the Mobile Equipment Identifier
(MEID) for the computer. You can find the MEID:
•on a label located in the battery compartment.
•on the outside of the computer shipping box.
The activation process is slightly different for each CDMA carrier. Your
carrier sales contact and an Honeywell representative can guide you
through the process. In general, you activate the CDMA phone as
follows:
1Contact your wireless provider and give the provider the MEID for the
computer.
2If your carrier is Verizon, tap , enter *228 on the phone keypad,
and tap . After a short wait, a message appears, confirming either
success or failure of the activation. After successful activation, the
phone is ready to use.

If the Phone app opens to a list of numbers instead of the keypad,
swipe left or touch to return to the keypad.
2Touch the keys to enter the number, and then touch below the
keypad to dial.
3To end a call in progress, tap .
Note: For the CDMA phone, settings are permanently stored in the
WWAN radio after activation. CDMA settings persist through a factory
data reset.

About Near Field Communication (NFC)
NFC technology provides the ability for short-range, wireless data
transfer between the CT50 and NFC tags or other NFC enabled devices
placed in close proximity to the back of the computer. NFC equipped
CT50 models support the following modes of operation:
• NFC tag reader/writer mode: The computer reads and/or writes
digital information from or to an NFC tag.
• Peer-to-Peer (P2P) mode: The computer uses Android Beam and/or
Bluetooth technology to transfer screen content (such as a picture,
contact information, Web page url, or file) between NFC enabled
devices.
• NFC card emulation mode: The computer emulates an NFC card
(smart card) that an external card reader can access. You have the
option to enable the embedded secure element (eSE) SmartMX™ or
Host Emulation. Secure element implementation is commonly used
for financial transactions or coupon and loyalty mobile marketing
applications that require a secure memory and execution
environment for the storage of personal information (such as account
information and credentials) and running custom smart card applets.
Note: Sleep Mode (Suspend Mode) and the screen lock temporarily

5Let the computer completely air dry before using again.
Caution: There are no user-serviceable parts inside the computer.
Opening the computer will void the warranty and may cause
damage to the internal components.
Note: Honeywell recommends that you leave the battery installed when
you clean the computer. Leaving the battery installed helps prevent fluids
