BACKUP BATTERY
The backup battery in your Compaq Aero 2100 Series is a coin-sized
Lithium cell battery (CR2032). This battery maintains the integrity of the
data stored in RAM memory whenever the main battery pack is fully
discharged, or whenever the main battery pack is not installed in the
device. The backup battery is installed in a compartment located in the
bottom edge of your device
Ê.
Backup Battery Compartment
The backup battery is not rechargeable, but in normal use, it should have
enough charge to last for a year or more. Follow the guidelines below to
maintain the backup battery:
Whenever the main battery pack is fully discharged, recharge it at the
earliest opportunity.
If you have two main battery packs, try to always keep a charged
battery inside your Compaq Palm-size PC. When you exchange the
battery packs, make sure the device is without a main battery pack for
just a short period of time.
If you will not be using your device for several days or more, first
back up your data to your computer, then make sure that the battery
pack is charged by keeping the device connected to AC power.
CAUTION: Failure to keep the main battery charged, or the Aero 2100
connected to AC power, can cause the backup battery to discharge
and the eventual loss of data stored in RAM memory.
