Note: When the scanner is in use, battery life is shorter, and depends on
the number of scans performed per minute.
•
If the battery becomes low while using the scanner application, the scanner
application de-activates, and you receive the message, “Battery low error”. The
other functions still work until another low battery alert occurs. When the scanner
de-activates, perform a HotSync synchronization to back up your data before
charging the battery to prevent data loss. If you try to scan when your battery is low,
you receive the message, “Your battery is too low for scanning”. When you receive
this message, recharge your battery and attempt scanning again.
•
Similarly, if the battery becomes low in the course of normal use, an alert displays
on the terminal screen describing the low battery condition. The message you
receive is, “Your batteries are low. Place the handheld in a hotsync cradle to
recharge”. If this alert displays, perform a HotSync synchronization to back up your
data before you charge the battery. As the battery life becomes extremely low, you
receive the message, “Your batteries are extremely low. Place the handheld in a
hotsync cradle to recharge”.
•
If you remove the battery, the built-in backup power of your SPT 1700 terminal
maintains memory data for a period of up to 2 minutes. Whenever you remove
the battery, replace it with a fully charged spare battery immediately. If you
encounter any difficulties in the course of battery replacement, reinstall the original
battery and wait a few minutes for the backup power to recharge.
•
If the battery drains to the point where your SPT 1700 terminal does not operate, it
stores your data safely for an indefinite period of time. In this case, there is enough
residual energy in the battery to store the data, but not enough to turn on your SPT
1700 terminal. If your SPT 1700 terminal does not turn on when you press the red
power button, charge the battery immediately.
•
If you leave a drained battery in your SPT 1700 terminal for an extended period of
time, you can lose all of the stored data. If this happens, replace the battery and
use the reset button to reset your SPT 1700 terminal. (Refer to
on page 21-5.) After you reset your SPT 1700 terminal, perform a
HotSync operation to restore the data from your computer.
•
If your battery becomes low while the terminal is still associated with a WAN, the
terminal disconnects from the network. Recharge the battery using the cradle or
the synchronization/charging cable, then reassociate with the network.
