Preparing NEO For Operation

2.1Preparing NEO For Operation

2.1.1The Battery

NEO is powered with a 3000 mAh Lithium-ion Battery, Model No. WA3020, and is com- patible with battery Model No. WA3006.

Warning: Before charging the battery, it is critical that you review the safety guidelines in the ‘NEO Hand-Held Computer (Model No. PX750) Regulatory & Warranty Guide’, PN 8000175.

2.1.1.1 Charging The Main Battery

Battery packs shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% and must be fully charged prior to use. Batteries can be charged using a variety of docking stations along with a NEO internal charger. When using the internal charger, a suitable power source is required. All docking stations are described in Chapter 6: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories” begin- ning on page 187.

Note: In order to maintain the NEO real time clock for three days, a battery must be charged for at least two hours while installed in the hand-held; however, if you are charging a spare battery (not installed in the hand-held), the real time clock three day backup cannot be maintained until a charged battery is installed in the hand- held computer for at least two hours.

2.1.2Backup Battery Power

A super capacitor provides a minimum of 10 minutes of suspend mode backup power to NEO to protect data while you swap in a new battery; all unnecessary draws on power such as the display and CPU are shut down to preserve power.

Important: When you initially power up the hand-held, leave the battery in the unit for a minimum of 2 minutes to allow the super capacitor to reach full capacity.
