Charging the backup battery
Before you begin to use the @ctiveLink module, you must charge the backup
Ni-Cad battery inside the module.
The Ni-Cad battery maintains module power and protects stored messages if the
AAA batteries’ power becomes too low. The Ni-Cad battery also maintains
module power while you replace the AAA batteries.
To charge the backup battery
1
After you have installed the initial AAA batteries, turn the @ctiveLink module
on (
).
2
Leave the module on for two hours to charge the Ni-Cad battery.
3
When the battery is charged, turn the module off (
).
4
Replace the two AAA batteries with two new batteries.
5
Turn the module on.
The @ctiveLink module is now ready to use.
When the module is in the handheld computer, an AAA battery status icon
appears on the @ctiveLink main screen so that you can monitor AAA battery
power (
).
Note
To prolong the life of the battery in the handheld computer, remove the
@ctiveLink module when you are not using it.
Caution
Remove the @ctiveLink module from the handheld computer before
you replace the batteries in the handheld. If you try to replace the
batteries with the module in, a “fatal error” occurs and you must reset
the handheld computer as described in the handheld documentation.
