Introduction to Your MobilePro Power System 1 

Introduction to Your 

MobilePro Power System

 

Congratulations on purchasing the NEC MobilePro™ Professional PC 
Companion powered by the Microsoft

®

 Windows

®

 CE operating system. 

The portability and capabilities of this device, including instant-on and 
easy synchronization to your PC, allow you to keep your most important 
business and personal information up-to-date and close at hand. 

Be sure to read the contents of this document for information about 
maximizing the device’s power capabilities. 

CAUTION 

If you power off, then quickly power on the NEC 
MobilePro, your system may erroneously report the 
presence of PC cards and/or CompactFlash cards. 

In addition, quickly pressing the POWER key several 
times in a few seconds (repeatedly powering the unit 
off and on), may cause PC card and/or CompactFlash 
card data loss. NEC recommends that you wait ten 
seconds after powering off, before powering on the 
NEC MobilePro. 

Windows CE Operating System 

The Windows CE operating system and pre-loaded applications are stored 
on a Read-Only Memory (ROM) module. ROM modules are electronic 
circuits that cannot crash. Files cannot be added or deleted from ROM, by 
a user, and removing power from your MobilePro unit has no adverse 
effect on ROM storage.  

Additional program applications and files that you add to your MobilePro 
are stored in Random Access Memory (RAM). The RAM in your 
MobilePro is protected when the unit is running on battery power or 
plugged into an AC power source. To ensure the safety of your data and 
user installed software, please carefully follow the battery charging 
instructions.
