Charging the Main and Backup Battery for the First Time
Note: Before using the PA966 for the first time, charge the unit for 16 hours to fully charge
the empty backup battery. Operating the PA966 for the first time without the AC adapter,
and without fully charging the backup battery may result in loss of data stored in RAM
memory.
Note: Backing up data by backup battery only without the main battery installed in the
battery compartment may take as long as 6 hours. Therefore, in order to prevent data
protection failure due to backup battery failure, do not leave the PA966 without the re-
chargeable battery pack installed, or without connection to AC power for an extended
period of time.
It may take up to 72 hours to backup data when the PA966 is automatically shut
down because of very low battery power while the depleted batteries are still
installed in the battery compartment.
