This chapter explains how to store, clean, and protect your
Field PC and baery pack.
Caring for Your Field PC
Storing your Field PC and Battery Pack
When the Field PC is not being charged and is suspended, it
draws a small amount of power. This power draw is used to
maintain the memory (RAM) of the Field PC in the same state
it was when it was suspended.
When the baery reaches a low charge, the Field PC
automatically comes out of suspend mode and powers o so
there is no further drain on the baery. This feature protects
your baery from damage if this charge level occurs. The
Field PC resets when the baery is recharged and turned on.
Data and programs are secure, as long as they have been saved,
even if the baery pack becomes discharged. The Field PC does
not depend on the baery to store the data for extended periods.
Storing the Field PC for Less Than Two Weeks
To protect the les on your Field PC during storage periods of
less than two weeks, complete the following steps:
1. Close all application programs.
2. Plug your Field PC into the AC wall adapter that was
shipped with your Field PC, or place the unit into the USB/
Power Dock that is plugged into the AC wall charger.
Note: Charging the Field PC when it is not in use helps the
Field PC to avoid inaccurate baery gauging and having the
baery discharge to low levels.
