Chapter 1 Using the 9500PPC Mobile Computer
1.2.1 CAUTION OF DATA LOSS
When the main battery is removed or drained, the backup battery on the main board is to retain the
contents of SRAM and maintain the OS in suspend mode for at least 6 hours, on condition that the
backup battery has already been fully charged.
If you want to put away the mobile computer for a couple of days, you should be aware that data
loss occurs when both the main and backup batteries discharge completely. Therefore, it is necessary
to backup data and files before putting away the mobile computer!
