Power Requirements

Your CASSIOPEIA can be powered using either a battery or external AC power.

Battery Power

Two types of batteries are used for power: a main battery and a memory backup battery. The main battery is a rechargeable user-replaceable battery pack. The memory backup battery is a button type lithium battery that provides the power required to retain memory contents. Note that the memory backup battery is not user-replaceable. See Main Battery and Backup Battery on page 25 for more information about the main battery and memory backup battery.

External AC Power

Connecting the AC adapter (page 34) or AC adapter/charger (page 35) to the AC adapter jack on the left side of the CASSIOPEIA unit provides power in place of the main battery. AC power is also supplied through the power terminals on the bottom of the CASSIOPEIA whenever it is placed on the cradle (page 37). The CASSIOPEIA can operate under AC power only if its rechargeable battery pack is attached. This is true regardless of whether the AC power is being supplied through the AC power jack or the power terminals. External AC power also charges the battery pack attached to the CASSIOPEIA. See Charging a Battery Pack on the CASSIOPEIA on page 27 for more information.
Main Battery and Backup Battery
Your CASSIOPEIA uses two types of batteries for power: a rechargeable userreplaceable rechargeable battery pack for the main battery, and a button type lithium battery for memory backup. We recommend that you use the Power Properties to keep informed about the current levels of your main and backup batteries. See the separate Pocket PC Users Guide and Pocket PC online help for more information about this Properties. Important The following messages appear whenever battery power drops below a certain level. Main Battery Recharge the battery pack as soon as possible after the following message appears. Main Batteries Very Low To prevent possible data loss, replace or recharge your main batteries according to the owners manual. Backup Battery Charge the battery pack as soon as possible after the message shown below appears on the display of the CASSIOPEIA. Charging the battery pack also charges the memory backup battery. Backup Battery Very Low To prevent possible data loss, replace or recharge your backup battery according to the owners manual. You can monitor the current battery power level accessing Power Properties or by checking the battery icon in the command bar of the Today screen. Whenever the low battery warning message appears, especially if it appears right after you turn on power, follow the instructions that appear on the screen and replace batteries as soon as possible. Continued use under low battery power can cause unstable performance of your Pocket PC.
Data stored in memory can be lost if you continue operation after the low battery message appears or if you incorrectly load batteries. Be sure to always back up important data on your desktop computer hard disk or on a CompactFlash Card. See ActiveSync Help for information about backing up files to a desktop computer. See the Card Backup Tool manual (PDF file) on the CASSIOPEIA CD-ROM for information about backing up data to a CompactFlash Card for information about using the Card Backup Tool program to back up data to a CompactFlash Card. Never remove the battery pack from the CASSIOPEIA while memory backup battery power is low. Doing so can cause a loss of data in memory. Use only the specified rechargeable battery pack type as the main battery. Never use another type of battery. If unit power turns off due to insufficient power, the following warning message appears on the display the next time you turn on unit power. Warning Due to high current demand by the hardware, the system powered down in order to protect memory contents. If unit power turns off due to sudden power drain by a CompactFlash Card, the following warning message appears on the display the next time you turn on unit power. Warning Due to high current demand by the card, the system powered down in order to protect memory contents. Important Be sure to observe the following important battery handling precautions. Failure to do so can cause batteries to leak, resulting in damage to surrounding items and create the danger of fire and electrical shock. Use only the types of batteries specified for use with this unit. Charge the battery pack in an area where the temperature is between 10C (50F) and 35C (95F). Charging in areas that are very cold or exposed to direct sunlight can cause deterioration and leaking of the battery pack. To avoid deterioration and leaking, the battery pack is designed to discharge even when you do not use the CASSIOPEIA. Be sure to recharge the battery pack at least once every three months, regardless of how much you use the CASSIOPEIA during that time. A battery pack that loses power too quickly after it is charged is probably near the end of its service life. In such a case, you have to purchase a new battery pack.

Replacing the Battery Pack (Main Battery)
1. Make sure the CASSIOPEIA is turned off. If power is on, press the [Power] button to turn it off. 2. Turn the CASSIOPEIA over. 3. Use a coin or screwdriver to rotate the battery lock counterclockwise. Next, remove the battery pack.
