Prolonging Battery Life

When your netpad is switched off, it is on “standby” and will continue to use a small amount of battery power. If you are going to leave your netpad switched off for a long period of time, you are advised to back up your data beforehand because the batteries will eventually run out.

Note: To check the battery power, open the Power icon from the Control Panel.

2.2.3.6

Internal Backup Battery

The netpad has a rechargeable backup battery designed to retain data while the main battery pack is charging or changed over. The backup battery is trickle charged from the main battery pack and has a limited lifespan. To maximize the life of the backup battery, avoid excessive discharging and recharging of the backup battery by keeping the netpad battery pack fully charged.

Important: If both the main battery pack and the backup battery are allowed to fully discharge, all user data held in RAM will be lost.

The backup battery is not user replaceable. If the backup battery requires replacement, the netpad must be returned to a Psion Teklogix approved service centre.

Important: If both the batteries run out of power you will lose all your information on the internal disk.

2.2.4 Multimedia Cards

Multimedia cards (MMCs) are non-volatile memory cards, which fit into a dedicated slot in the netpad and can be used to store application software and/or data.

The MMC slot is located on the right-hand side of the netpad (see Figure 2.8 on page 17).

2.2.4.1

Inserting And Removing An MMC

• Open the card slot door located on the side of the unit by sliding the retaining latch. Push the MMC into place until it clicks. Close the door.

• To remove an MMC, open the door and push the card. Store your MMC safely, particularly if it contains valuable data.
