Backup Battery

This hand-held computer comes with two 100 mA hour va- nadium lithium backup batteries. These batteries provide protection of your data when the main battery is removed from the hand-held computer or when the main battery goes into a low battery condition. The backup battery will not, nor is it intended to, run your application with the main battery pack run down or removed from your comput- er.

A fully charged backup battery will provide protection for maintaining data approximately 2 days with the main bat- tery removed or completely run down.

The backup battery is not user replaceable. To have your backup battery replaced, send it in to the Customer Service Center nearest you. Whenever you send in your hand-held computer for service, include a description of what you would like to have done.

Backup Battery Life

The backup battery is rechargeable and will recharge every time it needs it from either an external charging source or the main battery pack. If completely run down it will take at least 14 hours to completely recharge the backup battery. A frequently run down main battery will not keep the back- up battery fully charged.

The backup battery should last approximately 2000 dis- charge and recharge cycles if deep discharged, maintains data for 16 hours if your unit has 32 MBs of RAM, and pro- vides service for about 5 years before it needs to be re- placed. If your hand-held computer alerts you that the backup battery needs to be replaced, send it in to the Cus- tomer Service Center for replacement.
