Checking the Batteries There are two batteries in the SMR-410R, the NiCad battery and the internal Lithium Bridge Battery. The NiCad battery is the main power source for the SMR-410R. The lithium battery supplies keep-alive power to the SMR-410R when the main battery is removed. When you remove or replace the NiCad battery the Lithium Bridge Battery backs up the reader’s RAM and clock. Both batteries are rechargeable. The NiCad battery is recharged by attaching the AC adapter to the SMR-410R and plugging it into an external power source, such as a wall socket. The Lithium Bridge battery is recharged by the NiCad battery. Maximizing Battery Life To maximize the life of the SMR-410R’s Lithium Bridge Battery and NiCad battery, choose from the following options. NOTE: The internal Lithium bridge battery is NOT user serviceable. The SMR410R must be returned to Savi Technology for replacement of this battery. 10 Checking the Batteries Usage Action Explanation The SMR-410R is used at least once a week. Place the SMR-410R in Suspend Mode (see “Placing the SMR-410R in Suspend Mode” on page 12). Suspend Mode saves the NiCad battery’s The SMR-410R is not used for a week or longer. • Place the SMR-410R in Storage Mode (see “Placing the SMR-410R in Storage Mode” on page 12) and remove the NiCad battery. • Remove any PC cards. Storage Mode conserves the Lithium Bridge Battery’s power. You must remove the NiCad battery for Storage Mode to activate. The SMR-410R has been in use and the NiCad battery has a low charge. • Remove the battery and insert another charged battery. or • Attach an external power supply (AC adapter) to charge the installed battery. or • Place the SMR-410R in Storage Mode. A charged battery is necessary to conserve the Lithium Bridge Battery power. power. Press I/ to put the SMR-410R in Suspend Mode. Check that the low battery icon is not on. CAUTION: If you do not use the SMR-410R for more than one week, you must put the SMR-410R in Storage Mode. Savi MobileReader 410R Quick Reference Guide 11 Checking the Batteries Placing the SMR-410R in Suspend Mode To place the SMR-410R in Suspend Mode, press I /O . Once in the Suspend Mode the SMR-410R saves all memory and cuts power to the hardware.When you want to use the unit again, press I /O and the unit begins functioning from the point from exactly where it was when placed in Suspend Mode. Placing the SMR-410R in Storage Mode If you do not plan to use the SMR-410R for seven days or longer, place the unit in Storage Mode.
