Power
An internal, rechargeable backup battery allows you to replace the battery pack at
any time without loss of data, applications or resetting to the default settings. The
backup battery maintains the netpad’s memory for some hours, however prolonged
reliance on the backup battery does reduce its lifetime.
Important:
If both the batteries run out of power you will lose all your infor-
mation on the internal disk.
You can take steps to help prolong your battery’s life:
•
Turn the screen brightness down.
•
Set the automatic switch-off in the Power control panel, to automatically
turn the netpad off after a convenient time.
•
Use files on the internal disk instead of an MMC, as the netpad requires
more power to write to the mulitmedia card.
