Both batteries will discharge after an extended period of not being used. When both batteries are discharged, recharge the unit for 16 hours in order to fully charge the main battery and backup battery. Recharge the PA600 through the following: 1. Plug the USB charging cable to the PA600 and plug the 5V/3A AC-DC adapter to the power jack of the USB charging cable. 2. Place the PA600 into the docking station and plug the 5V/3A AC-DC adapter to the power jack of the docking station. If the main battery is removed, the backup battery ensures the data on SDRAM is safe for up to 6 hours. To prevent data loss, do not leave the PA600 uncharged with the main battery removed for an extended period. See Charging the Battery on page 8 for more details. NOTE: Rechargeable batteries are advised to replace every year or when 500 charge/discharge cycles achieved to guarantee optimal performance. It is normal that the battery balloons or expands beyond one year or the maximum of 500 cycles. Although it does not cause harm, it can not be used again and must be disposed of according to the location's safe battery disposal procedures. If the performance decrease of greater than 20% in a Lithium-Ion battery, the battery is at the end of its life cycle. Do not continue to use, and ensure the battery is disposed of properly. The length of time that a battery power lasts depends on the battery type and how the device is used. Conserve the battery life through the following: • • • Avoid frequent full discharges because this places additional strain on the battery. Several partial discharges with frequent recharges are better than a deep one. Recharging a partially charged lithium-Ion battery does not cause harm because there is no memory. Keep the lithium-Ion battery cool. Avoid a hot car. For prolonged storage, keep the battery at a 40% charge level. Do not leave the lithium-Ion battery discharged and unused for an extended period because the battery will wear out and the longevity of the battery will be at least shorter than half of the one with frequent recharges. Battery charge notice It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever the Lithium-Ion battery pack is charged. Charging is most efficient at normal room temperature or in a slightly cooler environment. It is essential that batteries are charged within the stated range of 10°C to 40°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle. CAUTION! Do not charge batteries at a temperature lower than 0°C, which will increase the internal resistance to cause heat and make the batteries unstable and unsafe. Please use a battery temperature detecting device for a charger to ensure a safe charging temperature range. iii Storage and safety notice Although charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored at temperatures between -20°C to 40°C, however they may deplete more rapidly at the higher temperature ranges. It is recommended to store batteries within normal room temperature ranges. Warranty The following items covered under Unitech Limited Warranty are free from defects during normal use: • • PA600 – 1-year limited warranty. Lithium-Ion battery – 6-month limited warranty. Warranty becomes void if equipment is modified, improperly installed or used, damaged by accident or neglect, or if any parts are improperly installed or replaced by the user. Use only the adapter supplied. Using the wrong adapter may damage the unit and will void the warranty. iv Table of Contents Preface About This Manual Regulatory Compliance Statements
