The Unit On” on page 22.
5.2.2.1 Battery Swap Time
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been al-
tered, battery swap time is a minimum of 10 minutes—you will not lose data if the battery is
replaced within this time frame.
The Suspend Threshold adjustment in the Power Properties tab allows you to determine the
battery capacity at which the hand-held will be shut down. If left at the default value,
Maximum Operating Time, the unit will run until the battery is completely empty; the RAM
is only backed up for a short period of time. If you choose Maximum Backup Time, the hand-
held shuts off with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer
period of time.
Refer to “Suspend Threshold” on page 102 for details about reserving battery power for data
backup purposes.
5.2.3 Charging The Battery
Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity. They must
be fully charged prior to use.
5.2.3.1 Chargers And Docking Stations
Lithium Ion battery packs must be charged before use. These batteries can be charged with a
variety of chargers and docking stations. These include:
AC wall adaptor (Model # PS1050-G1)—operates as an AC power source and when
plugged in, also charges the battery installed in the unit.
Desktop Docking Station (Model # PX3001)—operates as both a charger and a docking
station. Operating as a charger, both the battery installed in the hand-held and a spare
battery can be charged simultaneously.
Quad Docking Station—(Model # PX3001) can charge the battery of up to four War-
ringtons inserted in the docking station.
It can take up to 5 hours to charge a battery. The Warrington intelligent charging system pro-
tects the battery from over-charging by terminating the charge process when the battery is at
maximum capacity.
Important: FOR DETAILED INFORMATION about chargers and docking stations,
refer to Appendix 7: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories”.
