Preparing NEO for Operation
2.1.1
The Main Battery
NEO is powered with a high-capacity, lithium-ion battery pack – Model No. WA3006.
2.1.1.1 Charging the Main Battery
Battery packs shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% and must be fully
charged prior to use. Batteries can be charged using a variety of chargers and docking sta-
tions along with a NEO internal charger. When using the internal charger, a suitable power
source is required. All chargers and docking stations are described in Chapter 7: “Peripheral
Devices & Accessories” beginning on page 203 for details.
2.1.2
Backup Power
A super capacitor provides a minimum of 10 minutes of
suspend mode
backup power to
NEO to protect data while you swap in a new battery; all unnecessary draws on power such
as the display and CPU are shut down to preserve power.

battery cover.
Warning: Before charging the battery, it is critical that you review the safety guidelines
in the ‘NEO Hand-Held Computer (Model No. PX750) Regulatory &
Warranty Guide’, PN 8000175.

indicating that the backup battery capacity is low. To recharge the internal battery,
you must fully charge NEO with the main battery installed in the unit.

minimum of 2 minutes to allow the super capacitor to reach full capacity.
