Solution 19449: Conserving Battery Life on the CBL 2™.
How can the battery life on a CBL 2 be preserved?
There are several actions which can be taken to preserve the battery life on the CBL 2 data collection tool.
• Always quit the data collection program properly before removing the CBL 2 from the computer or calculator. When the program quits, it turns the CBL off. If you do not do this and you simply disconnect the cords and put the CBL 2 away, it will still be collecting data and you are likely to have dead batteries when you use it next.
• Another way to make sure the CBL 2 is off is to disconnect all cords, then press and hold "Start/Stop" on the CBL 2 for about 5 seconds. You will see the LEDs flash and hear a beep. This indicates that the CBL 2 is off.
• You can also simply remove one or more batteries from the CBL 2 before storing it.
Please see the CBR family and CBL family guidebooks for additional information.{"commands":[{"click":"chrome:field:editcontrol({command:\"webedit:editlink\"})","header":"Edit link","icon":"/temp/iconcache/networkv2/16x16/link_edit.png","disabledIcon":"/temp/link_edit_disabled16x16.png","isDivider":false,"tooltip":"Edits the link destination and appearance","type":""},{"click":"chrome:field:editcontrol({command:\"webedit:clearlink\"})","header":"Clear Link","icon":"/temp/iconcache/networkv2/16x16/link_delete.png","disabledIcon":"/temp/link_delete_disabled16x16.png","isDivider":false,"tooltip":"Clears The Link","type":""},{"click":"chrome:common:edititem({command:\"webedit:open\"})","header":"Edit the related item","icon":"/temp/iconcache/office/16x16/cubes.png","disabledIcon":"/temp/cubes_disabled16x16.png","isDivider":false,"tooltip":"Edit the related item in the Content Editor.","type":"common"},{"click":"chrome:rendering:personalize({command:\"webedit:personalize\"})","header":"Personalize","icon":"/temp/iconcache/office/16x16/users_family.png","disabledIcon":"/temp/users_family_disabled16x16.png","isDivider":false,"tooltip":"Create or edit personalization for this component.","type":"sticky"}],"contextItemUri":"sitecore://master/{5B66DD62-B0C0-469C-9B69-E3CB176C758F}?lang=en&ver=2","custom":{},"displayName":"Link","expandedDisplayName":null}[No text in field]
