2.6 Backup Battery
The backup battery in the PDA is a 200mAh rechargeable battery that holds system data at
least 2 hours without main battery.
CAUTION
If you remove the battery or the battery completely discharges, there is a two(2)hour window

contents of the RAM memory are lost. It is a good idea to keep your data and applications in
Flask Disk for that reason. Refer to “ Flash Disk” for more information.
If both the battery pack and the backup battery are allowed to discharge completely, you
must recharge both batteries for thirteen (13) hours.
The backup battery is charged off the battery pack, so it is important to keep the battery pack
with at least a minimal charge so the unit can maintain date, time, data, and other settings.
2.7 Disposal of the spent battery
When the battery reaches the end of its useful life, the spent battery must be disposed by a
