II. Managing Battery Power
The files or data you have drawn up are saved in your PC-EPhone’s volatile RAM, non-
volatile IPSM, or in external memory storage card. When your PC-EPhone’s battery (Main
Battery and Backup Battery) is fully drained out, all data stored in the volatile RAM is lost.
This section will inform you of how to manage the batteries to maximize its use and to secure
data.
Your PC-EPhone comes with two types of batteries-Main Battery and Backup Battery. The
Main Battery acts as a power supplier when you are using your PC-EPhone, while the
Backup Battery supplies your PC-EPhone with the minimum amount of power needed to
preserve the data stored in RAM when you are exchanging the Main Battery or when the
Main Battery is fully drained.
(1) Charging the Battery
1) Charging the Main Battery
You can charge the main battery using the cradle (charger and desktop connector).
The cradle can charge up to two Main Batteries simultaneously. When charging the
Main Battery, the color of the first LED from the left indicates the charging status of the
battery currently attached to your PC-EPhone. The second LED color represents the
charging status of the separate battery. Although it may differ according to the battery
charging status, it takes approximately 2 ~ 3 hours to fully charge the Main Battery.
XRed: charging
XGreen: fully charged
XYellow: Stand-by
It takes too long time(about 4 ~ 5 hours) charging PC-EPhone in the
state of PC-EPhone ON. In order to charge it quickly, press the Power
button on the right side of PC-EPhone to turn PC-EPhone OFF.
A flickering light, while charging, indicates that charging is not taking
place properly and that you should reinstall the battery or your PC-
EPhone in the cradle. If the light continues to flicker, even after
reinstallation, contact the Customer Support Center for repairs.
Page 3-12 Chapter 3
2) Charging the Backup Battery
The Backup Battery is automatically charged when your PC-EPhone is placed in the
cradle, and is charged by the Main Battery when your PC-EPhone is removed from
the cradle.
As a substantial amount of time(about 24 hours) is required in
recharging the Backup Battery, use your PC-EPhone placed in the
cradle so the Backup Battery does not become fully drained.
3) Checking the battery’s charging status
You can check the Main Battery’s charging status in the CDMA Status Display
( ) or in the Control Panel. The Backup Battery’s charging status
can be checked in Power of the Control Panel. In other words, on the Start menu,
point to Settings and tap Control Panel, and then tap Power, which will show you
the remaining battery power.
The battery’s charging status may be temporarily displayed differently
according to the condition in which it is used. In other words, an
amount of electric power is needed when connected to the Internet or
during a phone call. In these cases, the battery’s charging status will
appear to be very insufficient.
(2) Replacing and Installing the Battery
1) How to detach a battery
Switch the Battery Lock on the back of your PC-EPhone downwards and slightly slip
the battery out.
PC-EPhone Customizing and Maintenance Page 3-13
2) How to install a battery
With switching the Battery Lock on the back of your PC-EPhone downwards, place
the battery in your PC-EPhone’s battery slot leaving a 4 ~ 5mm space. After pushing
the battery to the left to click it into place, switch the Battery Lock upwards again.
Be careful not to get PC-EPhone’s terminal caught when installing the
Main Battery in the PC-EPhone. The battery groove can be damaged if
excessive force is used.
Place the battery in the battery slot leaving a 4 ~ 5mm space as shown
above and then push the battery to the left to click it into place.
(3) When to Replace and Charge the Battery
When the “Very Low Main Battery” warning message appears while using your PC-
EPhone, replace the battery with a fully charged one or recharge it by placing it in the
cradle. If you continue to use your PC-EPhone after the “Very Low Main Battery”
warning message apperars, your PC-EPhone will automatically be converted to the
“Very Low Battery Sleep Mode” and power will be off. (PC-EPhone’s function keys
no longer operate in this state.)
When replacing batteries, install the fully charged battery as quickly
as possible after detaching the discharged battery. Your PC-EPhone’s
built-in Backup Battery preserves data for a certain period while you
replace a battery with the fully charged one. When in “Very Low
Battery Sleep Mode”, place your PC-EPhone in the cradle and start
charging as quickly as possible. All stored data is lost when the
battery is fully drained.
Page 3-14 Chapter 3
(4) Battery Maintenance
In order to maximize the Main Battery’s life span and keep it in its best working state,
you should follow the tips given below.
X Charge the Lithium-ion Main Battery in room temperatures. If surrounding
temperatures fall below 5°C(or 41°F) or rise over 35°C(or 95°F), you should stop
charging.
X When recharging a new Lithium-ion Main Battery or recharging after a long period
of negligence, the charging time and usage time may shorten. This is a
characteristic of a Lithium-ion battery, but 4 ~ 5 repeats of Full Discharging / Full
Recharging will bring back normal operation.
X For the Lithium-ion battery to maintain its best performance, you should
periodically perform a Full Discharge / Full Recharge.
X As the Lithium-ion battery is a consumable goods, it does have a set life span. Its
battery life will shorten with repeated Recharge / Discharge. Therefore, when
usage time falls to half of that when you first used it, you had better purchase and
use a new Lithium-ion battery.
(5) How to effectively use Electricity
This is how to use your PC-EPhone longer, when supplying power through the Main
Battery:
X Use your PC-EPhone placed in the cradle whenever possible.
X When supplying power with the Main Battery, you can follow the steps given
below to automatically convert your PC-EPhone to the Sleep mode after a
continuous period of idle time.
- On the Start menu, point to Settings, and select Control Panel. The Control
Panel will be displayed. Tap the Power icon on the Control Panel to activate
the Power window, then select the Power Off tab and set it to the shortest
time interval.
- On the Start menu, point to Settings, and select Control Panel. The Control
Panel will be displayed. Tap the Display icon on the Control Panel to activate
the Display window, then select the Backlight tab and set it to the shortest
time interval.
X Make sure all unnecessary sounds are turned off.
- On the Start menu, point to Settings, and select Control Panel. The Control
Panel will be displayed. Tap the Volume & Sounds icon on the Control Panel
to activate the Volume & Sounds window, then set only the sounds you need.
PC-EPhone Customizing and Maintenance Page 3-15
X When using your PC-EPhone for extended period of time, place it in the cradle if
possible. Especially, Power drainage is severe during Internet Connection or
phone Calls, so it is recommended that you use your PC-EPhone placed in the
cradle.
X Use the Power button on the right to put your PC-EPhone into the Sleep Mode
when not in use.
What is PC-EPhone’s Sleep Mode?
It is a state where your PC-EPhone powers off leaving only the
minimum amount of power needed, to conserve battery power when
not in use. Even when it is turned off, minimum power is supplied to
your PC-EPhone in order to maintain memory data.
There are 3 ways to put your PC-EPhone into the “Sleep Mode”:
zAutomatic Sleep by system settings
Converts to the “Sleep Mode” according to the idle time set
in Power of Windows CE Control Panel.
zAutomatic Sleep due to insufficient battery power (Very
Low Battery Sleep Mode)
Converts to the “Sleep Mode” in order to preserve data when
the Main Battery is drained.
zAutomatic Sleep by selecting Suspend on the Start Menu
of Windows CE desktop.
Converts to the Sleep Mode when you directly tap Suspend
on the Start menu, using the stylus.
The system does not convert to the Sleep Mode during data
communications (Phone program, E-mail) and ActiveSync.
Page 3-16 Chapter 3
III. Managing and Applying Memory
There are 3 types of memories in the PC-EPhone that you can use: RAM, IPSM, and CF
Memory Card.
(1) RAM
RAM is used as storage space where you can store data or files, and as program
space. In other words, you can either save data and files or install programs in RAM.
RAM memory is mainly used when running a program, so refer to the following
directions when using your PC-EPhone for best system performance and safe use.
1) When running several programs at the same time, running may slow down due to
memory shortage, or when RAM space is being entirely used, your PC-EPhone may
not be able to carry out operations properly. Be sure to run only the programs that you
need.
2) Delete files and data that you do not need right away or store them in IPSM or CF
Card memory in order to secure sufficient RAM space needed in running programs.
Since RAM is a volatile memory, all data stored in it is lost when there
is no power supply to the PC-EPhone (full drainage of Main & Backup
Battery) and when a Hard Reset is performed on the system.
Consequently, you should back up your data using Backup Utility
from time to time in order to restore lost data.
(2) IPSM(Intel Persistent Storage Management)
IPSM, a non-volatile memory, performs the same role as the hard disk of the desktop
PC. As no damage is done to data stored in IPSM even in the event of power shortage
or a Hard Reset, you had better copy important data to IPSM and gain security.
Saving and reading speed to and from IPSM’s data is slower than
those of RAM. So don’t install the execution programs in IPSM. Copy
frequently used data or data requiring quick speeds onto RAM.
(3) CF Memory Card
CF Memory Card is a device that performs the same functions as the floppy disk of a
desktop PC, thus the CF Memory Card can be used to store data when it is installed in
PC-EPhone Customizing and Maintenance Page 3-17
the CF Card slot of your PC-EPhone. And because a CF Memory Card can store data
permanently, you can use it to back up data from RAM to safely preserve it. For more
information on CF Card use, see the CF (CompactFlash) Card section in Chapter 8.
Page 3-18 Chapter 3
IV. Resetting Systems
You can get your PC-EPhone back to normal by performing a system reset when it is not
operating properly. There are 3 types of system resets : Soft Reset, CDMA Reset, and Hard
Reset.
(1) Soft Reset
Performs a Soft Reset when your PC-EPhone operating system suddenly responds
slowly or is temporarily out of order. To perform a Soft Reset, press the Reset button
on the back of your PC-EPhone using the stylus.
When you perform a Soft Reset, you will lose unsaved data in all open
documents or programs. Be sure to save all data beforehand.
(2) CDMA Reset
Resets systems and CDMA communications module by detaching the Main Battery
from your PC-EPhone’s battery slot, and reinstalling it. A CDMA Reset will have the
same affects on the system as a Soft Reset, and also will reset the CDMA module. A
CDMA Reset may be performed in the following instances.
X When the system does not operate properly even after performing a Soft Reset.
X When the CDMA module is not activated, that is, when nothing appears on the
(3) Hard Reset
You can perform a Hard Reset when the system does not return to proper operation
even after performing a Soft Reset and CDMA Reset. To perform a Hard Reset,
simultaneously press the Reset button on the back of your PC-EPhone with stylus and
the Power button on the right side, and first lift the stylus from the Reset button and
then let go of the Power button about 0.5 second later. After a Hard Reset, the
CYBERBANK logo appears and then gives way to the touch screen calibration.
CDMA Status Display screen.
All data stored in RAM is lost as a result of a Hard Reset, so it is best
that you store all RAM data in non-volatile storage devices (IPSM or
CF Card, desktop PC hard disk) before performing a Hard Reset.
PC-EPhone Customizing and Maintenance Page 3-19
Your PC-EPhone will automatically perform a Hard Reset when the
Main Battery and Backup Battery are both fully drained, in turn
resulting in a loss of all stored data and installed programs in RAM.

Backing up and Restoring Data
PC-EPhone’s storage memory consists largely of volatile memory RAM and IPSM & CF card of non-
volatile memory Flash ROM. When the power source is disconnected, all data stored in volatile
memory is lost, so it is best that you back up your PC-EPhone data frequently. As for the non-volatile
memory IPSM, data loss may occur when your PC-EPhone is damaged so it is also recommended
that you back up your data to devices(desktop PC or CF card) other than your PC-EPhone.
This chapter gives you information on the various ways to back up and restore data outlined below. It
has gathered information that is dispersed all throughout this manual into one place.
X Full Backup/Restoring to a desktop PC
You can fully back up and restore data and program files, system settings data,
and database files that are stored in the RAM of your PC-EPhone to your
desktop PC using ActiveSync.
X Backup/Restoring to CF Card and IPSM
You can fully back up data stored in the RAM of your PC-EPhone to a CF
Memory Card or PC-EPhone built-in IPSM, which are non-volatile storage
memories, rather than to your desktop PC.
X Backup/Restoring by File
Instead of performing a full backup, you can back up selected files stored in
your PC-EPhone to a desktop PC using ActiveSync or to a CF Memory Card or
IPSM using your PC-EPhone’s Windows explorer.

I. Backing up and Restoring Data to Your Desktop PC
You can back up files created on your PC-EPhone, database, PIM data and programs installed
in RAM to your desktop PC using Microsoft ActiveSync, and restore them when needed.
Backup can either be performed automatically when your PC-EPhone is connected to your
desktop PC, or manually whenever needed. Also, you can back up updated or new data only or
choose to back up the entire lot.
Automatic backup is only possible when a Partnership is established with
a desktop PC. Only a manual backup is possible when the partnership is
established as Guest.
As security is not set up for backup files stored in the desktop PC, you
had better use other security for your backup files if necessary.

ActiveSync Help.
