Suspend Threshold

5.23.5 Suspend Threshold

This applet allows you to determine the amount of battery power that you want to reserve in the main battery to protect the data stored in the WORKABOUT PRO.

5.23.5.1 Suspend Threshold And Estimated Battery Backup

The Estimated Battery Backup is the amount of battery power that is reserved to protect data until a charged battery can be installed in the hand-held. When the main battery capacity is depleted up to the Estimated Battery Backup reserve specified in the Suspend Threshold tab, the hand-held shuts off automatically and uses the reserve power to preserve the data stored on the WORKABOUT PRO. Once the hand-held shuts down, it cannot be switched on until a fresh battery is installed, or the unit is inserted in a docking station or cradle.

Slide the Suspend Threshold button to the right to increase the battery capacity reserved for backup purposes. Data will be preserved to a maximum of 124 hours.

Slide the Suspend Threshold button to the left to decrease the power reserved for backup purposes; this increases the hand-held’s operating time

– the amount of time the hand-held will operate before shutting down – but reduces the power reserved for backup purposes to a minimum of 24 hours.
