The internal backup battery retains data up to 48 hours if the main battery pack is fully discharged or
removed. Its charge is automatically topped-off whenever the GoBook Q•100 is awake and on external
or main battery power. To ensure data integrity, the main battery should always be kept charged and
important data should be saved in non-volatile memory, such as on the CompactFlash card.
Whenever possible, use the AC power adapter with the GoBook Q•100 to conserve the battery pack.
The AC Adapter charges the battery pack and supplies a maintenance charge to the backup battery.
Ideally, you should charge your battery pack at the end of every day. Proper charging practice keeps
both batteries in good condition.
If you do not intend to use your GoBook Q•100 for an extended period of time, back-up all important
data in non-volatile memory, such as on a CompactFlash card.
