Maintaining Your PC Companion
Battery considerations
Please note the following considerations for the battery in your PC
companion:
■
Under normal conditions, your PC companion battery should
remain charged by placing it in the cradle for just a few minutes
each day. You can conserve battery life by minimizing the use of
the backlight feature, and changing the Auto-off setting that
automatically turns the PC companion off after a period of
inactivity. See “General preferences” in Chapter 8 for more
information.
■
If the battery becomes low in the course of normal use, an alert
appears on the PC companion screen describing the low battery
condition. If this alert appears, perform a HotSync
®
operation to
back up your data; then leave your PC companion in the cradle to
recharge the unit. This helps prevent accidental data loss.
■
If the battery drains to the point where your PC companion does
not operate, it stores your data safely for about a week. In this case,
there is enough residual energy in the battery to store the data, but
not enough to turn on your PC companion. If your PC companion
does not turn on when you press the power button, you should
recharge the unit immediately.
■
If your battery drains and you have the unit in an uncharged state
for an extended period of time, you can lose all of the stored data.
■
There are no serviceable parts inside your PC companion, so do not
attempt to open the unit.
■
If you ever dispose of your PC companion, please dispose of it
without damaging the environment. Take your PC companion to
your nearest environmental recycling center.
Resetting your PC companion
Under normal circumstances, you will not have to use the reset
button. On rare occasions, however, your PC companion may no
longer respond to buttons or the screen. In this case, you need to
perform a reset to get your PC companion running again.
Performing a soft reset
A soft reset tells your PC companion to stop what it’s doing and start
over again. All records and entries stored in your PC companion are
retained with a soft reset. After a soft reset, the Welcome screen
appears, followed by the Date and Time Preferences screen (to set date
and time).
