Removing the Battery Pack
For details about unlatching the battery cover, review “Installing the Battery and Switching
the Unit On” on page 11.
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.
3.2.3
Charging 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
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. PX3012) – operates as an AC power source and when
used in conjunction with PX3001 or PX3054, also charges the battery installed in
the unit.
Important: To protect against data loss, NEO is equipped with a 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.
