while the integrated GNSS receiver and the Wi-Fi radio automatically reactivate.

Swap Battery mode
Swap Battery mode is a low power mode that allows you to remove an empty battery
and replace it with a fresh battery without closing files and applications; it maintains
the main memory contents and keeps applications running but does not allow you to
operate any of the handheld's functions. The handheld appears to be turned off. The
integrated GNSS receiver is turned off and any application using GNSS is
disconnected. All wireless radios are powered down and the device is unable to be
automatically woken up.
When in Swap Battery mode, the handheld operates on backup power with the battery
removed. From the time that the battery is removed, you have approximately 45
seconds to replace the battery before the backup power supply is consumed and the
handheld shuts down.
To switch to Swap Battery mode, press and hold the
Power key and then tap Swap
Battery
on the Power menu. The battery LED shows as a red warning. When the device
is ready, the red LED turns off, and the battery can be safely swapped. Generally the red
LED will only display for half a second or less, but it may display for three seconds or so.
Do not remove the existing battery until the red LED turns off.
C
CAUTION – Removing the battery when the red LED warning light is still on will make the
device reboot when the battery is swapped. Do not remove the existing battery until the
red LED turns off.
