126 iKôn Rugged PDA (Windows Mobile 6) User Manual
5.24.5 Suspend Threshold
This applet allows you to determine the amount of battery power that you want to reserve in
the battery to protect the data stored in the iKôn PDA.
5.24.5.1 Suspend Threshold And Estimated Battery Backup
The Estimated Battery Backup is the amount of battery power that is reserved to protect data
until a charged battery can be installed in the PDA. When the battery capacity is depleted up
to the Estimated Battery Backup reserve specified in the Suspend Threshold tab, the PDA
shuts off automatically and uses the reserve power to preserve the data stored on the iKôn
PDA. Once the PDA shuts down, it cannot be switched on until a fresh battery is installed,
or the unit is inserted in a docking station or cradle.
•Slide the Suspend Threshold button to the right to increase the battery capacity
reserved for backup purposes. Data will be preserved to a maximum of 124 hours.
•Slide the Suspend Threshold button to the left to decrease the power reserved for
backup purposes; this increases the PDA’s operating time – the amount of time the PDA
will operate before shutting down – but reduces the power reserved for backup purposes
to a minimum of 24 hours.
Internal super-capacitors will protect the data stored in the iKôn PDA while the battery is
swapped for a fully charged one.
Important: Once the battery is removed, the super-capacitors will preserve the data
stored on the iKôn PDA for approximately 5 minutes. It is critical that you
install a charged battery before this time elapses.
