II. Managing Battery Power The files or data you have drawn up are saved in your PC-EPhone’s volatile RAM, nonvolatile IPSM, or in external memory storage card. When your PC-EPhone’s battery (Main Battery and Backup Battery) is fully drained out, all data stored in the volatile RAM is lost. This section will inform you of how to manage the batteries to maximize its use and to secure data. Your PC-EPhone comes with two types of batteries-Main Battery and Backup Battery.
2) Charging the Backup Battery The Backup Battery is automatically charged when your PC-EPhone is placed in the cradle, and is charged by the Main Battery when your PC-EPhone is removed from the cradle. As a substantial amount of time(about 24 hours) is required in recharging the Backup Battery, use your PC-EPhone placed in the cradle so the Backup Battery does not become fully drained.
2) How to install a battery With switching the Battery Lock on the back of your PC-EPhone downwards, place the battery in your PC-EPhone’s battery slot leaving a 4 ~ 5mm space. After pushing the battery to the left to click it into place, switch the Battery Lock upwards again. Be careful not to get PC-EPhone’s terminal caught when installing the Main Battery in the PC-EPhone. The battery groove can be damaged if excessive force is used.
(4) Battery Maintenance In order to maximize the Main Battery’s life span and keep it in its best working state, you should follow the tips given below. X Charge the Lithium-ion Main Battery in room temperatures. If surrounding temperatures fall below 5°C(or 41°F) or rise over 35°C(or 95°F), you should stop charging. X When recharging a new Lithium-ion Main Battery or recharging after a long period of negligence, the charging time and usage time may shorten.
X When using your PC-EPhone for extended period of time, place it in the cradle if possible. Especially, Power drainage is severe during Internet Connection or phone Calls, so it is recommended that you use your PC-EPhone placed in the cradle. X Use the Power button on the right to put your PC-EPhone into the Sleep Mode when not in use. What is PC-EPhone’s Sleep Mode? It is a state where your PC-EPhone powers off leaving only the minimum amount of power needed, to conserve battery power when not in use.
III. Managing and Applying Memory There are 3 types of memories in the PC-EPhone that you can use: RAM, IPSM, and CF Memory Card. (1) RAM RAM is used as storage space where you can store data or files, and as program space. In other words, you can either save data and files or install programs in RAM. RAM memory is mainly used when running a program, so refer to the following directions when using your PC-EPhone for best system performance and safe use.
the CF Card slot of your PC-EPhone. And because a CF Memory Card can store data permanently, you can use it to back up data from RAM to safely preserve it. For more information on CF Card use, see the CF (CompactFlash) Card section in Chapter 8.
IV. Resetting Systems You can get your PC-EPhone back to normal by performing a system reset when it is not operating properly. There are 3 types of system resets : Soft Reset, CDMA Reset, and Hard Reset. (1) Soft Reset Performs a Soft Reset when your PC-EPhone operating system suddenly responds slowly or is temporarily out of order. To perform a Soft Reset, press the Reset button on the back of your PC-EPhone using the stylus.
Your PC-EPhone will automatically perform a Hard Reset when the Main Battery and Backup Battery are both fully drained, in turn resulting in a loss of all stored data and installed programs in RAM.
