Battery Notices
This unit is equipped with a battery pack and backup battery. Both batteries will dis-
charge after an extended period of not being used.
When both batteries are discharged, recharge the unit for 16 hours in order to fully
charge the main battery and backup battery. There are two ways to recharge PA600:
1. Plug the USB charging cable to the PA600 and plug the 5V/3A AC-DC adapter to
the power jack of the USB charging cable.
2. Place the PA600 into the docking station and plug the 5V/3A AC-DC adapter to the
power jack of the docking station.
For more details, refer to page 8, Charging the Battery.
If the main battery is removed, the backup battery ensures the data on SDRAM is safe
for up to 2 hours. To prevent data loss, do not leave the PA600 uncharged with the
main battery removed for an extended period.
Battery charge notice
It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are charging
the Lithium-Ion battery pack. The process is most efficient at normal room tempera-
ture or slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the stated range of
10°C to 45°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the bat-
teries and shorten their charging life cycle.
Storage and safety notice
Although charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their
capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens they
will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored at tempera-
tures between -20°C to 60°C, however they may be depleted more rapidly at the high
end of this range. It is recommended to store batteries within normal room tempera-
ture.
