Checking Main and Backup Battery Status

Enter Power Properties:

If the above mentioned Plug icon or Battery icon is displayed, double tap this icon to display the Power Properties screen.

Or, select Settings/Control Panel from the Start menu and then double tap the Power icon to display Power Properties.

Check Battery Status:

The battery menu item will show the status of the main and backup batteries. There are 3 kinds of status indicators — “Good”, “Low” and “Very Low”. Bold characters indicate the actual status - e.g. battery icons in the illustration at right mean both the main and backup batteries are “GOOD”.

It is necessary to charge the battery when “Low” or “Very Low” are dis- played in bold characters. If “Low” or “Very Low” are still displayed after charging, please contact Unitech Technical Support.

How to Save Battery Power

Automatic shut-down of the PA966

The PA966 will enter Idle Mode when there is no task, or all tasks are waiting for input. In default setting, the PA966 will automatically go to sleep if it remains idle for longer than 3 minutes and when there is no external charging power applied. Pressing the power button will return the PA966 to the same point at the time of automatic snooze.

In Power Properties, select “Power Off”. Customize automatic shut off time by tapping the arrow to select from a list of time periods. The avail- able time periods are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 minutes.

This function can also be activated when the PA966 is plugged into the power adapter or placed in its cradle by tapping the check box and then tapping the arrow to select from a list of time periods. The available time periods are 1, 2, 5,10, 15 and 30 minutes.
