AT870 User Reference
13
CAUTION
If you remove the battery or the battery completely discharges, there is a two(2)hour window in
which to insert a charged battery before the backup battery completely discharges and the contents
of the RAM memory are lost. It is a good idea to keep your data and applications in Flask Disk for
that reason. Refer to “Flash Disk” for more information.
If both the battery pack and the backup battery are allowed to discharge completely, you must
recharge both batteries for thirteen (13) hours.
The backup battery is charged off the battery pack, so it is important to keep the battery pack with at
least a minimal charge so the unit can maintain date, time, data, and other settings.
2.7 Disposal of the spent battery
When the battery reaches the end of its useful life, the spent battery must be disposed by a
qualified recycler or material handler
Warning
Do not mix the spent battery with the solid waste stream and keep away from children.
