6 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
If your computer shuts down because of low battery conditions, your com-
puter does not operate. This is done to ensure that data is protected. Al-
though the battery does protect the data against loss for several hours, you
should connect your computer to a power source when you fir st detect a
low battery condition.
Your computer contains an internal super capacitor, a temporary power
storage device, that protects data for up to ten minutes. This is to give you
time to replace the main battery pack before that data is lost. Be sure to put
the computer in a suspend mode before doing so.
If you have at least one device in your 700 Color Computer (radio, scan-
ner, imager, or Ethernet), the battery power f ail level is set so that after the
system shuts down in a low battery condition, there is still sufficient charge
to allow the unit to re main configured, keep proper time, and maintain
DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) for at least 23 to 32 hours at
room temperature if the main battery remains in the mobile computer.
The configuration and time are lost if:
S The battery discharges beyond this level.
S The battery is removed when the computer is not in suspend mode.
S A cold reset is performed on the computer.
You can modify RAM maintenance in a limited way. On the 700 Color
Computer, tap Start > Settings >theSystem tab>thePower icon > the
Battery tab. Drag the top slider bar to the right to change the suspend
voltage to favor suspend time over rundown time, then click ok to exit.
