Nordic ID PL3000 user manual, v. 2.4, March 2006

After this indication you should save all unsaved data and settings, and then change the battery pack or
charge the battery.
If at any point the power level drops below the final threshold value (2% of full charge) the PL3000 enters
into suspend mode.
When the battery cover is opened the PL3000 performs a file system backup and suspends Windows CE.
The memory with all settings and files is maintained with the backup battery for about 2 hours. During this
period the main battery should be installed again. The backup battery is fully charged after every 20 hours
of use.
The battery is located in the compartment inside the PL3000 handle. Open the compartment by loosing the
screw on the bottom of the device and lifting off the back cover.
Place the bottom of the battery to the bottom of the battery compartment. Press it against the support foam
so that battery connectors face the connectors in the device.
Push the top end of the battery into the compartment
If you are using a hand strap, note that it is easier to slip it under the holding bar when battery cover is not
closed.
Close the battery cover and tighten the screw. If the battery cover is not properly closed the PL3000 IP-
rating may be lost.
5.4.4 File System Backup
The File System Backup application allows you to backup all files in the RAM file system of the PL3000 to
FLASH memory. At the same time as the backup is made, a monitor file is created in the Windows folder.
Every time the device boots up the File System Backup verifies that the file is present. If not, it means either
that there has been a power failure that has led to the erasing of the RAM or that a hard reset has been
made. In both cases File System Backup proceeds to restore the backed up files to their correct place
in RAM. Using file backup system prevents losing programs or data from RAM memory even when the
PL3000’s battery is removed.
Choose “File System Backup” from the Nordic ID folder under programs in the start-up menu.
Choose “Backup RAM Files”
The device shows the backup progress on the display.
