Removing The Battery Pack

3.2.2Removing The Battery Pack

Important: To protect against data loss, the NEO battery cover is equipped with a mag- netic sensor; this sensor detects when the battery door is opened and automatically places the hand-held computer into suspend mode so that you can safely remove the battery.

For details about unlatching the battery cover, review “Installing The Battery And Switching The Unit On” on page 12.

3.2.2.1 Battery Swap Time

Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been al- tered, battery swap time is 10 minutes—you will not lose data if the battery is replaced within this time frame.

The Suspend Threshold adjustment in the Power Properties tab allows you to determine the battery capacity at which the hand-held will be shut down. If left at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the unit will run until the battery is completely empty; the RAM is only backed up for a short period of time. If you choose Maximum Backup Time, the hand- held shuts off with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer period of time.

Refer to “Suspend Threshold” on page 94 for details about reserving battery power for data backup purposes.

3.2.3Charging The Battery

Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity. They must be fully charged prior to use.

3.2.3.1 Charging Options

Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about charging options, refer to Chapter 6: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories”.

Lithium-ion batteries must be charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a variety of adaptors and docking stations. These include:

•AC Wall Adaptor (Model No. PX3010)—operates as an AC power source and when used in conjunction with PX3001 or PX3054, also charges the battery installed in the unit.
