2.3.4 Maintaining the Batteries
All programs, files, data and custom settings that you save are stored in RAM. This is a volatile
storage medium requiring electrical power to remain operational. Therefore it is essential that the
Pocket PC receives a continuous power supply, as any interruption will result in the RAM contents
being lost. Although the operating system and pre-installed programs, stored in Flash ROM, will be
unaffected, you will have to re-enter all other information. To safeguard your data, you should
periodically back up your files. See 4.2.4 Backing Up and Restoring Data Using Microsoft
ActiveSync 3.7 for information on how to do this. Users can also use CF storage card or SD storage
card to back up data or personal settings in PIM using the backup application.
You will receive a notification when either the main battery level or the backup battery level is low.
You can also check the remaining charge in either battery at any time by tapping “Settings” on the
start menu, and then selecting the System tab and tapping “Power”.
When fully charged, the backup battery will maintain power to volatile memory for up to 30 minutes
if the main battery is removed. If the main battery runs out of charge, power to volatile memory is
maintained for 72 hours as along as the main battery is not removed.
To remove the main battery it is necessary to move the battery release switch on your Pocket PC to
the release position and remove the battery cover. When the battery release switch is in the release
position the unit will automatically go into sleep mode and cannot be woken up until the main
battery has been replaced and the release switch returned to the original position.
