Suspend Threshold And Estimated Battery Backup
The
Estimated Battery Backup
is the amount of battery power that is reserved to
protect data until a charged battery can be installed in the hand-held. When the main
battery capacity is depleted up to the
Estimated Battery Backup
reserve specified in
the
Suspend Threshold
tab, the hand-held shuts off automatically and uses the
reserve power to preserve the data stored on the WORKABOUT PRO. Once the
hand-held shuts down, it cannot be switched on until a fresh battery is installed, or
the unit is inserted in a docking station or cradle.
•
Slide the
Suspend Threshold
button to the
right
to increase the battery
capacity reserved for backup purposes. Data will be preserved to a
maximum of 124 hours. The default value assigned for a standard
2000mAh battery is 99 hours.
•
Slide the
Suspend Threshold
button to the left to
decrease
the power
reserved for backup purposes; this increases the hand-held’s operating time
– the amount of time the hand-held will operate before shutting down – but
reduces the power reserved for backup purposes to a minimum of 24 hours.
The backup battery draws a trickle charge from the reserved main battery power to
maintain the data even after the unit power is shut down. It will protect the data
stored in the WORKABOUT PRO while the main battery is swapped for a fully
charged one.
Important:
Once the main battery is removed, the backup battery will pre-
serve the data stored on the WORKABOUT PRO for approxi-
mately 5 minutes. It is critical that you install a charged main
battery before this time elapses.
