• After a critical state battery power down, what happens when you connect to AC power?
The unit performs a normal reset and then powers up. It is possible that users may think that they
have lost data since the unit performs a normal reset, but if power is supplied within the 36-hour
window, the data will remain on the device.
• What are the back-up options?
Active Sync has a back-up feature that will take a snapshot of the RAM portion of the device and
give the user the ability to restore that image. It is located in the Tools portion of ActiveSync.
A user can back-up to a Storage Card using an Expansion Pack. This option allows the back-up
image to be stored separately from the iPAQ in the event the unit loses all data.
The iPAQ itself also has a contacts back-up feature. When enabled, the Contacts are saved to a
small area of the flash ROM. In the event that all power is drained and you are able to restore
power while away from your office, you would have your important phone numbers with you
until you returned to your office.
The contacts back-up feature can be disabled on the H3100 and H3600 Series Pocket PC's using
the following process:
1. Launch QUtilities (Use the "Q" hardware button or select Start → Programs → QUtilities).
2. Tap on the "Back-up" tab
3. Tap on the "Save Contacts" box
4. Tap on "Disable" bullet
In the event you want to completely erase the back-up Contact information stored in the flash
memory (for instance, if you want to give your iPAQ Pocket PC to another person and don't
want that person to have any of your contact information), perform the following process:
1. Launch QUtilities (Use the "Q" hardware button or select Start → Programs → QUtilities).
2. Tap on the "Back-up" tab
3. Tap on the "Save Contacts" box
4. Tap on "Erase All" box
• What are other battery concerns that a user needs to be aware of?
The Pocket PC wakes up at midnight and turns the unit on. This action resets the Calendar and
Task reminders. The unit will then power down according to the settings in your device. By
using the Settings and Power Management features, this will shut the unit down quickly and
enable longer battery life.
When the iPAQ is docked in the cradle, the backlight setting defaults to Super Bright. When
undocked, the unit maintains that Super Bright setting and does not return to the user defined
backlight setting. The user must reset the device to the previous setting or cycle power on the
iPAQ Pocket PC.
