It is critically important that my battery doesn’t fail during a job.
Do you have any suggestions?
Consider carrying a fully charged spare battery in the field. The unit
is designed so that battery replacement can be easily done.
I connected my unit to external power and nothing happened. Is
something wrong with my battery?
Turn the unit off while charging. If a battery is really low, it can
take a while for the unit to respond when external power is applied.
Allow up to an hour after AC power is first applied to see whether
the unit will turn on. Continue to charge for the full 12-hour period.
Can I work with Microsoft Office files in Word Mobile and Excel
Mobile?
Office Mobile applications are trimmed down versions of the PC
Microsoft Office applications. You can view simple documents and
make simple changes on your unit. However, Mobile versions do
not support all of the formatting and other features that are
supported by the PC applications.
I see a low battery warning after using the unit for a few hours.
Confirm that the battery was charged for at least 12 hours while the
unit was turned off. Be aware that certain usage conditions will
have a significant impact on battery life: heavy use of WLAN, the
backlight, high power consumption CF cards and cold temperatures.
I charged the unit overnight. Per the recommendations in this
manual, the unit was turned off while on charge. When I turned
it on this morning, the power gauge only reported 85 percent
charge. Is something wrong with my battery?
Your battery is probably fine. While the unit is off, the battery
driver is not able to gather information about the battery charge
level. After turning the unit on, it will take a while -- perhaps a half
hour or so -- for the power gauge to more accurately reflect the
battery charge state.
