Battery considerations (PEG-SL10)
Follow these precautions when you install or replace the batteries.
When replacing the batteries
• INSERT THE NEW BATTERIES WITHIN 1 MINUTE AFTER REMOVING
THE EXHAUSTED ONES. IF THE BATTERY IN YOUR CLIÉ HANDHELD IS
FULLY DISCHARGED OR REMOVED, ALL DATA STORED ON THE
SDRAM (MEMORY) IS LOST. IN SUCH A CASE, PERFORMING A
HOTSYNC
® OPERATION ONCE THE BATTERIES ARE REPLACED CAN
RESTORE BACKED UP INFORMATION SAVED ON YOUR COMPUTER
(FROM THE LAST HOTSYNC OPERATION) TO YOUR CLIÉ HANDHELD.
FOR DETAILS, SEE “BACKING UP DATA TO YOUR COMPUTER
THROUGH A HOTSYNC
® OPERATION” ON PAGE 184.
• Be sure to turn your CLIÉ handheld off, before removing/inserting
batteries.
• Be sure to replace both batteries with new ones.

run down, even if your CLIÉ handheld is not used.
