Battery Safety
Battery Swap Time
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been altered, battery swap
time is a minimum of 4 minutes — you will not lose data if the battery is replaced within this time frame.
To protect data, the safest place to store data is on a microSD memory card or externally on a USB memory
stick or on a PC. You can also save data in the “Application” (Flash Disk) partition of the file system.
Refer to “Suspend Threshold and Estimated Battery Backup” on page 4-10 for details about reserving battery
power for data backup purposes.
The Suspend Threshold adjustment in the Power Properties tab allows you to determine the battery capacity at
which the Workabout Pro4 will be shut down. If left at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the unit will
run until the battery is completely empty; the RAM is only backed up for a short period of time. If you choose
Maximum Backup Time, the Workabout Pro4 shuts off with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be
backed up for a longer period of time.
IMPORTANT Before attempting to install, use, or charge the battery pack, it is crit-
ical that you review and follow the important safety guidelines in the
quick reference guide entitled Workabout Pro4 Hand-Held Compu-
ter Regulatory & Warranty Guide, PN 8000296
