INSTALLING BATTERY

When you first receive the package, the rechargeable functionality of the backup battery
is turned off. It is controlled by a DIP switch inside the battery compartment as shown
below. For shipping and storage purposes, save the mobile computer and the main
battery in separate packages, and adjust the DIP switch to the OFF position (bottom).
This will keep both batteries in good condition for future use.
1) Remove the hand strap.
2) Hold the mobile computer still and press the release button to unlock the battery
cover.
3) Slide off the battery cover.
4) Use the stylus (or a sharp-pointed object, such as a pencil) to adjust the DIP switch
to the ON position. (top) Now the internal backup battery can be charged by the main
battery.
5) Insert the battery pack into the battery compartment at a proper angle (30°~45°) so
that the metal contacts on the battery are met with the charging contacts inside the
compartment. Make sure that the battery is snugly fit into the compartment.
6) Slide the battery cover back onto the mobile computer until it clicks into place.
7) If the battery is charged, the mobile computer turns on. If the mobile computer does
not turn on, charge the battery.
Note: (1) Any improper handling may reduce the battery life.
(2) When the main battery charge becomes low, you need to charge the battery
as soon as possible or replace it with a charged one. While replacing the battery
pack, make sure the mobile computer is turned off (= Suspend).
