Preparing NEO For Operation
2.1.1
The Battery
NEO is powered with a 3000 mAh Lithium-ion Battery, Model No. WA3020, and is com-
patible with battery 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 docking stations along with
a NEO internal charger. When using the internal charger, a suitable power source is required.
All docking stations are described in Chapter 6: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories” begin-
ning on page 187.
2.1.2
Backup Battery 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.

Installing The Battery And Switching The Unit On
•
Push the release latch at the base of the battery cover to unlatch it. Remove the
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.
Note: In order to maintain the NEO real time clock for three days, a battery must be
charged for at least two hours while installed in the hand-held; however, if you are
charging a
spare
battery (not installed in the hand-held), the real time clock three
day backup cannot be maintained until a charged battery is installed in the hand-
held computer for at least two hours.
Important: When you initially power up the hand-held, leave the battery in the unit for a
minimum of 2 minutes to allow the super capacitor to reach full capacity.
