The optional Docking Station is a convenient accessory for
daily use of the PA962. The charging will be completed
withing 3 hours. Or, when using the included Charging/RS232
Cable or Carging / USB cable the charging time of the battery
pack is about 3 hours.
Charging the Main and Backup Battery for the First Time
Operating the PA962 for the first time without the AC
adapter, and without fully charging the backup battery
may result in loss of data stored in RAM memory.
Note: Backing-up data by backup battery only without the
main battery installed in the battery compartment may take as
long as 8 hours. Therefore, in order to prevent data protection
failure due to backup battery failure, do not leave the PA962
without the rechargeable battery pack installed, or without
connection to AC power for an extended period of time.
It may take up to 72 hours to backup data when the PA962 is
automatically shut down because of very low battery power
while the depleted batteries are still installed in the battery
compartment.
