3.2.1 Battery Safety
3.2.2 Removing The Battery Pack
Refer to “Preparing The Ikôn For Operation” on page 11 for more details about removing
and installing the battery.
3.2.3 Battery Swap Time
Assuming the default power saving parameters and battery reserve level have not been al-
tered, battery swap time is approximately 5 minutes – you will not lose data if the battery is
replaced within this time frame.
To protect data, the safest place to store data is on a microSD memory card or externally to
the device on a USB memory stick or on a PC.
The Suspend Threshold feature allows you to determine the battery capacity at which the
Ikôn will be shut down. If left at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the Ikôn will
run until the battery is completely empty; the RAM is only backed up for a short period of
time. If you choose Maximum Backup Time, the Ikôn shuts off with more energy left in the
battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer period of time.
(Refer to “Suspend Threshold And Estimated Battery Backup” on page 168 for details about
reserving battery power for data backup purposes.)
3.2.4 Charging The Battery
Batteries shipped from the factory are charged to approximately 40% of capacity. They must
be fully charged prior to use.
Important: Before attempting to install, use or charge the battery pack, it is critical that
you review and follow the important safety guidelines in the quick refer-
ence guide entitled ‘Ikôn Rugged PDA Regulatory & Warranty Guide’,
PN 8000148.
Important: Always shut down the Ikôn before removing the battery. To safely remove the
battery, press and hold down the Power button. Choose “Shutdown” in the
‘Shutdown’ screen and tap on OK.
Keep in mind also that all Ikôns are equipped with internal super-capacitors
that will save the current data for up to 5 minutes while the battery
is swapped.
