How to Store the
Even when the screen is blank, the GLX is active: it powers its memory, it periodically checks its battery, and it
monitors its keypad. Like other hand-held computers, the GLX never turns off—it just goes to sleep.
Before you put your GLX away, read these instructions.
With proper care, you can ensure that your GLX will be ready for use whenever you need it.
*Note for early hardware versions: Early versions of the GLX do not support deep sleep mode. If you have one of these GLXs, leave it
plugged in
or
remove the battery for long-term storage. (But don't plug in the AC adapter when the battery in not installed.) See page 95 of the
Users' Guide for more information.
TAPE THIS SHEET TO THE INSIDE LID OF THE GLX STORAGE BOX OR POST IT WHERE THE GLX WILL BE STORED.

Storage Time
What You Should Do
WHENEVER
POSSIBLE
Leave the GLX Plugged In
Leave the GLX connected to AC power so it can keep its battery charged and store data
files indefinitely. This is the
best
way to store the GLX for any length of time.
Unplugged for
MORE THAN
A FEW DAYS
Backup Your Data
Data files stored in RAM are temporary. If you want to keep your data files, transfer them to
the GLX's internal Flash memory, a USB Flash drive, or a computer. See pages 78–84 and
100 of the Users' Guide for more information.
Fully Charge the Battery
Put the GLX away with a full battery to keep the RAM active (for up to two weeks) and
ensure that the battery has power the next time you use it.
Any time within two weeks, simply press and hold the power button to turn it on. Data
saved in RAM will still be there.
After two weeks, plug in the AC adapter to turn on the GLX (or press the reset button on
the back) and retrieve data files from your backup location.
Unplugged for
MORE THAN
A MONTH
Put the GLX into Deep Sleep*
In deep sleep mode, an internal switch opens to disconnect the battery. To put the GLX
into deep sleep: backup your data; allow the battery to fully charge; unplug the AC adapter;
go to the settings screen, press
, and press
; follow the on-screen instructions.
Why is deep sleep important?
Nickel metal hydride batteries last longer when they are kept as fully charged as possible.
Deep sleep mode prevents unnecessary discharging.
What if I forget to put it into deep sleep?
Don't worry. If the GLX is left unplugged and unused from more than two weeks, it puts
itself into deep sleep.
How do I wake up the GLX from deep sleep?
When you're ready to use it again, just plug in the AC adapter (or press the reset button on
the back) and retrieve data files from your backup location.
