Page 3-12 Chapter 3 II. Managing Battery Power The files or data you have drawn up are saved in your PC-EPhone’s volatile RAM, non-volatile 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. The Main Battery acts as a power supplier when you are using your PC-EPhone, while the Backup Battery supplies your PC-EPhone with the minimum amount of power needed to preserve the data stored in RAM when you are exchanging the Main Battery or when the Main Battery is fully drained. (1) Charging the Battery 1) Charging the Main Battery You can charge the main battery using the cradle (charger and desktop connector). The cradle can charge up to two Main Batteries simultaneously. When charging the Main Battery, the color of the first LED from the left indicates the charging status of the battery currently attached to your PC-EPhone. The second LED color represents the charging status of the separate battery. Although it may differ according to the battery charging status, it takes approximately 2 ~ 3 hours to fully charge the Main Battery. XRed: charging XGreen: fully charged XYellow: Stand-by It takes too long time(about 4 ~ 5 hours) charging PC-EPhone in the state of PC-EPhone ON. In order to charge it quickly, press the Power button on the right side of PC-EPhone to turn PC-EPhone OFF. A flickering light, while charging, indicates that charging is not taking place properly and that you should reinstall the battery or your PC-EPhone in the cradle. If the light continues to flicker, even after reinstallation, contact the Customer Support Center for repairs.
PC-EPhone Customizing and Maintenance Page 3-13 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. 3) Checking the battery’s charging status You can check the Main Battery’s charging status in the CDMA Status Display ( ) or in the Control Panel. The Backup Battery’s charging status can be checked in Power of the Control Panel. In other words, on the Start menu, point to Settings and tap Control Panel, and then tap Power, which will show you the remaining battery power. The battery’s charging status may be temporarily displayed differently according to the condition in which it is used. In other words, an amount of electric power is needed when connected to the Internet or during a phone call. In these cases, the battery’s charging status will appear to be very insufficient. (2) Replacing and Installing the Battery 1) How to detach a battery Switch the Battery Lock on the back of your PC-EPhone downwards and slightly slip the battery out.
Page 3-14 Chapter 3 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. Place the battery in the battery slot leaving a 4 ~ 5mm space as shown above and then push the battery to the left to click it into place. (3) When to Replace and Charge the Battery When the “Very Low Main Battery” warning message appears while using your PC-EPhone, replace the battery with a fully charged one or recharge it by placing it in the cradle. If you continue to use your PC-EPhone after the “Very Low Main Battery” warning message apperars, your PC-EPhone will automatically be converted to the “Very Low Battery Sleep Mode” and power will be off. (PC-EPhone’s function keys no longer operate in this state.) When replacing batteries, install the fully charged battery as quickly as possible after detaching the discharged battery. Your PC-EPhone’s built-in Backup Battery preserves data for a certain period while you replace a battery with the fully charged one. When in “Very Low Battery Sleep Mode”, place your PC-EPhone in the cradle and start charging as quickly as possible. All stored data is lost when the battery is fully drained.
PC-EPhone Customizing and Maintenance Page 3-15 (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. This is a characteristic of a Lithium-ion battery, but 4 ~ 5 repeats of Full Discharging / Full Recharging will bring back normal operation. X For the Lithium-ion battery to maintain its best performance, you should periodically perform a Full Discharge / Full Recharge. X As the Lithium-ion battery is a consumable goods, it does have a set life span. Its battery life will shorten with repeated Recharge / Discharge. Therefore, when usage time falls to half of that when you first used it, you had better purchase and use a new Lithium-ion battery. (5) How to effectively use Electricity This is how to use your PC-EPhone longer, when supplying power through the Main Battery: X Use your PC-EPhone placed in the cradle whenever possible. X When supplying power with the Main Battery, you can follow the steps given below to automatically convert your PC-EPhone to the Sleep mode after a continuous period of idle time. - On the Start menu, point to Settings, and select Control Panel. The Control Panel will be displayed. Tap the Power icon on the Control Panel to activate the Power window, then select the Power Off tab and set it to the shortest time interval. - On the Start menu, point to Settings, and select Control Panel. The Control Panel will be displayed. Tap the Display icon on the Control Panel to activate the Display window, then select the Backlight tab and set it to the shortest time interval. X Make sure all unnecessary sounds are turned off. - On the Start menu, point to Settings, and select Control Panel. The Control Panel will be displayed. Tap the Volume & Sounds icon on the Control Panel to activate the Volume & Sounds window, then set only the sounds you need.
Page 3-16 Chapter 3 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. Even when it is turned off, minimum power is supplied to your PC-EPhone in order to maintain memory data. There are 3 ways to put your PC-EPhone into the “Sleep Mode”: zAutomatic Sleep by system settings Converts to the “Sleep Mode” according to the idle time set in Power of Windows CE Control Panel. zAutomatic Sleep due to insufficient battery power (Very Low Battery Sleep Mode) Converts to the “Sleep Mode” in order to preserve data when the Main Battery is drained. zAutomatic Sleep by selecting Suspend on the Start Menu of Windows CE desktop. Converts to the Sleep Mode when you directly tap Suspend on the Start menu, using the stylus. The system does not convert to the Sleep Mode during data communications (Phone program, E-mail) and ActiveSync.
PC-EPhone Customizing and Maintenance Page 3-17 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. 1) When running several programs at the same time, running may slow down due to memory shortage, or when RAM space is being entirely used, your PC-EPhone may not be able to carry out operations properly. Be sure to run only the programs that you need. 2) Delete files and data that you do not need right away or store them in IPSM or CF Card memory in order to secure sufficient RAM space needed in running programs. Since RAM is a volatile memory, all data stored in it is lost when there is no power supply to the PC-EPhone (full drainage of Main & Backup Battery) and when a Hard Reset is performed on the system. Consequently, you should back up your data using Backup Utility from time to time in order to restore lost data. (2) IPSM(Intel Persistent Storage Management) IPSM, a non-volatile memory, performs the same role as the hard disk of the desktop PC. As no damage is done to data stored in IPSM even in the event of power shortage or a Hard Reset, you had better copy important data to IPSM and gain security. Saving and reading speed to and from IPSM’s data is slower than those of RAM. So don’t install the execution programs in IPSM. Copy frequently used data or data requiring quick speeds onto RAM. (3) CF Memory Card CF Memory Card is a device that performs the same functions as the floppy disk of a desktop PC, thus the CF Memory Card can be used to store data when it is installed in
Page 3-18 Chapter 3 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.
PC-EPhone Customizing and Maintenance Page 3-19 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. When you perform a Soft Reset, you will lose unsaved data in all open documents or programs. Be sure to save all data beforehand. (2) CDMA Reset Resets systems and CDMA communications module by detaching the Main Battery from your PC-EPhone’s battery slot, and reinstalling it. A CDMA Reset will have the same affects on the system as a Soft Reset, and also will reset the CDMA module. A CDMA Reset may be performed in the following instances. X When the system does not operate properly even after performing a Soft Reset. X When the CDMA module is not activated, that is, when nothing appears on the CDMA Status Display screen. (3) Hard Reset You can perform a Hard Reset when the system does not return to proper operation even after performing a Soft Reset and CDMA Reset. To perform a Hard Reset, simultaneously press the Reset button on the back of your PC-EPhone with stylus and the Power button on the right side, and first lift the stylus from the Reset button and then let go of the Power button about 0.5 second later. After a Hard Reset, the CYBERBANK logo appears and then gives way to the touch screen calibration. All data stored in RAM is lost as a result of a Hard Reset, so it is best that you store all RAM data in non-volatile storage devices (IPSM or CF Card, desktop PC hard disk) before performing a Hard Reset.
Page 3-20 Chapter 3 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.
