Getting Started

WayPoint

PDA receives a continuous supply of power, either from its internal battery or an

external source, 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.

SAFEGUARDING DATA

To safeguard your data, you should periodically back up your files. This

can be done on a pc

ActiveSync - The

Microsoft software

that interfaces be-

tween the PDA and a

host computer.

using a Microsoft program called ActiveSync.

ActiveSync is included on the CD-ROM that accompanies your

WayPoint PDA. This is described in the Pocket PC reference manual

that is also located on the CD-ROM.

There is a backup program supplied with your PDA that can use a CF

storage

card, an SD storage card, or the Flash Disk area to back up data or personal settings in

PIM applications. See Chapter 3,

“Backup” on page 33 for more details.

CHECKING THE BATTERY

You will receive a notification when the main battery level or the backup battery level is low

when running on battery power. While running on batteries, you can 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.

If your battery is being charged you will not be able to see the state of the main battery without

temporarily disabling the charging. If the battery is fully charged this will be shown even when

power is applied.

The battery settings screen is shown on the left. It shows both the

Main and Backup batteries are fully charged.

When the backup battery is fully charged it will maintain power to

volatile memory for at least 5 minutes if the main battery is

removed. This provides ample time to swap a spare battery in

place.

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 WayPoint PDA 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 awakened until the main battery has been

replaced and the release switch is returned to the original position.
