2.1 Preparing NEO For Operation
2.1.1 The Battery
NEO is powered with a 3000 mAh Lithium-ion Battery, Model No. WA3020, and is com-
patible with battery Model No. WA3006.
2.1.1.1 Charging The Main Battery
Battery packs shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% and must be fully
charged prior to use. Batteries can be charged using a variety of docking stations along with
a NEO internal charger. When using the internal charger, a suitable power source is required.
All docking stations are described in Chapter 6: “Peripheral Devices & Accessories” begin-
ning on page 187.
2.1.2 Backup Battery Power
A super capacitor provides a minimum of 10 minutes of suspend mode backup power to
NEO to protect data while you swap in a new battery; all unnecessary draws on power such
as the display and CPU are shut down to preserve power.
2.2 Switching NEO On And Off
2.2.1 Installing The Battery And Switching The Unit On
• Push the release latch at the base of the battery cover to unlatch it. Remove the
battery cover.
Warning: Before charging the battery, it is critical that you review the safety guidelines
in the ‘NEO Hand-Held Computer (Model No. PX750) Regulatory &
Warranty Guide’, PN 8000175.
Note: In order to maintain the NEO real time clock for three days, a battery must be
charged for at least two hours while installed in the hand-held; however, if you are
charging a spare battery (not installed in the hand-held), the real time clock three
day backup cannot be maintained until a charged battery is installed in the hand-
held computer for at least two hours.
Important: When you initially power up the hand-held, leave the battery in the unit for a
minimum of 2 minutes to allow the super capacitor to reach full capacity.
