Storage, Maintenance, and Recycling
Follow the instructions in this chapter to properly maintain and
recycle the FC-6000.
Storing the FC‑6000 and Battery Pack
When the FC-6000 is not being charged and is in a sleep state, it draws
a small amount of power. This power draw is used to maintain the
memory (RAM) of the FC-6000 in the same state it was in when it was
awake. We recommend charging the FC-6000 each night or weekend
when it is in a sleep state.
If the FC-6000 is not charged while in a sleep state and the battery
reaches a low charge, it automatically hibernates to prevent further
drain on the battery.
Note: Data and programs are secure as long as they have been
saved, even if the battery pack becomes discharged. The FC‑6000
does not depend on the battery to store the data for extended
periods.
Storing the FC‑6000 for More than Two Weeks
To store the FC-6000 for two weeks or more, complete the following
steps:
1. Charge the battery pack 30 to 50 percent.
2. Close all running programs, and turn off the FC-6000.
3. Remove the battery pack.
4. If you have an internal battery pack, press and hold the power
button for 20 seconds to disconnect it.
5. Place the battery pack in a cool, dry location.
6. The AC wall charger must be plugged in and connected to the
FC-6000 in order to turn it on after storage.
