1.1 BATTERY

Main Battery
The mobile computer is powered by a rechargeable 3.7 V/1800 mAh Li-ion battery
pack, and it takes approximately four hours to fully charge it.
For power-saving purpose, always turn off the backlight while working in a well-lit
area. When the backlight is on for extended periods of time, the main battery will
become low sooner than expected.
The smart battery icon on the LCD screen shows the status of power consumption.
There are two ways to monitor a low battery charge or discharged battery from the
screen.
Examine the level of the battery icon
Monitor voltage level (see section
Backup Battery
The backup battery on the main board takes charge when the main battery is
removed or drained out. When fully charged, the 3.0 V/7 mAh rechargeable Lithium
button cell helps retain data in SRAM and maintain the running of the real-time clock
and calendar for at least 36 days without the main battery. In the meantime, you
have to replace the main battery as soon as possible.
