SPT 1700 Series Product Reference Guide
Note: When the scanner is in use, battery life is shorter, and depends on the
number of scans performed per minute.
If the battery becomes low while using the scanner application, the scanner
!
application de-activates, and you receive the message, "Battery low error". The other
functions still work until another low battery alert occurs. When the scanner de-
activates, perform a HotSync synchronization to back up your data before charging
the battery to prevent data loss. If you try to scan when your battery is low, you
receive the message, "Your battery is too low for scanning". When you receive this
message, recharge your battery and attempt scanning again.
Similarly, if the battery becomes low in the course of normal use, an alert appears on
!
the terminal screen describing the low battery condition. The message you receive is,
"Your batteries are low". Place the handheld in a hotsync cradle to recharge". If this
alert appears, perform a HotSync
charge the battery. As the battery life becomes extremely low, you receive the
message, "Your batteries are extremely low. Place the handheld in a hotsync cradle
to recharge.
If you remove the battery, the built-in backup power of your SPT 1700 terminal
!
maintains memory data for a period of up to 2 minutes. Whenever you remove the
battery, replace it with a fully charged spare battery immediately. If you encounter
any difficulties in the course of battery replacement, reinstall the original battery and
wait a few minutes for the backup power to recharge.
If the battery drains to the point where your SPT 1700 terminal does not operate, it
!
stores your data safely for an indefinite period of time. In this case, there is enough
residual energy in the battery to store the data, but not enough to turn on your SPT
1700 terminal. If your SPT 1700 terminal does not turn on when you press the red
power button, charge the battery immediately.
If you leave a drained battery in your SPT 1700 terminal for an extended period of
!
time, you can lose all of the stored data. If this happens, replace the battery and use
the reset button to reset your SPT 1700 terminal. (See Resetting Your SPT 1700
Terminal on page 18-5.) After you reset your SPT 1700 terminal, perform a HotSync
operation to restore the data from your computer.
If your battery becomes low while the terminal is still associated with a Spectrum24
!
access point, the terminal disconnects from the network. Recharge the battery using
the cradle or the synchronization/charging cable, then reassociate with the network.
