17. 500 Mobile Computer The main and backup batteries may not be charged to full for shipment When you first receive the package you will need to charge batteries to full before using the mobile computer Note For initial charging it takes approximately 4 hours to fully charge the main battery Because the internal backup battery is constantly charged from the main battery the initial charging requires inserting the battery pack to the mobile computer and then seating the mobile computer in the cradle for charging This will have both the main and backup batteries charged at the same time Note For a new battery make sure it is fully charged before use Always prepare a spare battery pack especially when you are on the road The battery pack is the only power source for the mobile computer to work It also charges the backup battery on the main board so that the data stored in SRAM can be retained properly Therefore when the main battery charge goes low you need to replace the battery pack with a charged one or charge it as soon as possible Most of all always save data before it is too late you should upload important data on a regular basis Warning Data loss may occur with SRAM during low battery condition Always save data before running out of power or keep a fresh battery for replacement For any portable device power management is a critical issue especially when you are on the road
