Battery Swap Time

Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been al-

To protect data, the safest place to store data is on a microSD memory card or externally to
the device on a USB memory stick or on a PC.
The Suspend Threshold feature allows you to determine the battery capacity at which the
EP10 will be shut down. If left at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the EP10 will

battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer period of time.
(Refer to "Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup" on page 142 for details about
reserving battery power for data backup purposes.)
