Develop ergonomic work habits
The science of ergonomics studies the relationship between health and a suitable work environment. For more
information on ergonomics, contact your nearest computer bookstore, or local library. The Internet also has
information on this and other related subjects.
NOTE
Using a computer for extended periods of time with a poor workstation setup or incorrect work habits
can cause health problems.
Power Management
1.
Power Management Applications
: The use of Windows Power Management or Duo-Touch II Power Saver
(if equipped) applications is recommended to provide maximum battery run time and prolong battery service
life. Default settings allow the Duo-Touch II to enter a Standby/Suspend state after a set period of inactivity.
Extending or Disabling the Standby/Suspend time-out period will increase power consumption and reduce
operational time on battery power.
The Duo-Touch II will resume/wake from Standby by pressing the Power Button.
2.
Display backlight power settings
: Extending or disabling the display backlight time-out period increases
power consumption and reduces operational time on battery power. The display backlight will resume power
with keyboard or cursor activity.
3.
Shutdown
: Shutdown the Duo-Touch II when it will not be used for extended periods to conserve battery
power. Depending on the configuration of the Duo-Touch II there are specific considerations:
1. Basic Configuration – No PC Card devices, RF Modems or external device connections. When using a
basic configuration unit, there are no special considerations for power management.
2. Integrated RF Devices – Disable integrated or user installed RF devices when not in use as they can
consume battery power unnecessarily
3. Externally connected devices – Some externally connected devices may be powered by the Duo-Touch
II. It is best to exit any application utilizing these devices prior to powering off. Restarting the
application should reinitialize the device. Externally connected devices or peripherals using Duo-Touch
II battery power may result in reduced battery run times.
File Management
Backups
: It is good practice to backup essential data and files periodically. Any data or files stored in volatile
memory (RAM) can be lost in the event of a hard reset or unexpected shutdown. Contacts, tasks, calendar, email,
and documents should be safeguarded against loss.
Battery Charging
1.
Charge the battery at room temperature
(approximately 68° F [20° C]) for best results. Charge acceptance
is optimum at this temperature and requires the least amount of time to fully recharge. At room temperature
