Replacing the Battery Pack
Important!
Always keep backup copies of all important data!
•The main battery powers normal operation and also provides power required to maintain memory contents, while the backup battery provides backup power to maintain memory contents. Because of this, you should not remove the main battery while the backup battery is dead. Removing the battery pack while the backup battery is dead causes data in the memory to be corrupted or lost. Note that once data is lost it cannot be recovered. Always keep separate backup copies of all important data.
•The charge of a battery pack when you purchase it may be depleted due to testing at the factory or natural discharge during shipment and storage. Be sure to charge the battery pack before you use it.
•The life of a battery pack is limited, and charging a battery pack causes it to gradually lose its ability to maintain the charge. If your battery pack seems to require charging very frequently, it probably means it is time to purchase a new one.
•A fully charged backup battery can maintain memory (RAM) contents for about 10 minutes, even when the main battery is removed.
•The backup battery achieves a full charge in about four days when the battery pack is loaded.
