Psion Teklogix netpad Win CE 4.1 User Manual
2.2.3.5 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 replace-
ment, 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 infor-
mation on the internal disk.
2.2.4 Multimedia Cards
Multimedia cards (MMCs) are non-volatile memory cards, which fit into a dedi-
cated 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 retain-
ing 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.
