Removing The Battery Pack
3.2.2 Removing The Battery Pack
Important: Always switch the unit off before changing the battery. If you do
not turn the hand-held off before removing the battery, it may be
necessary to reboot the unit. Any active sessions may be lost.
While the battery is being replaced, the WORKABOUT PRO G2
backup battery will save the current data for up to 5 minutes.
Refer to “Installing The Battery And Switching The Unit On” on page 12.
3.2.2.1 Battery Swap Time
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not
been altered, battery swap time is approximately 5 minutes—you will not lose data
if the battery is replaced within this time frame.
To protect data, the safest place to store data is on a SD/MMC memory card or
externally to the device on a USB memory stick or on a PC.
To protect against data loss, the unit will automatically shut down with enough
reserve in the main battery to last up to 99 hours, the default setting. (Refer to
“Suspend Threshold” on page 102 for details about reserving battery power for data
backup purposes.) Even when the hand-held shuts down, the backup battery
continues to draw a trickle charge from the main battery to maintain the data stored
in the unit until a new battery can be installed.
3.2.3 Charging The Battery
Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity.
They must be fully charged prior to use.
Keep in mind also that, along with the main battery, the WORKABOUT PRO is
equipped with an internal, backup battery that preserves data stored on the unit
while the main battery is swapped.
Important: The backup battery is trickle charged from the main battery. To
maximize battery life, avoid excessive discharging and recharging
of the backup battery by keeping the main battery fully charged.
IF YOU ARE POWERING UP A NEW UNIT, a warning message
may appear on the screen indicating that the backup battery
capacity is low. To recharge the backup battery, you must fully
charge the WORKABOUT PRO with
the main battery installed in
the
unit. An overnight charge is recommended.
