Allegro CX Owner’s Manual 43
Important Alkaline Battery Information
The Allegro is designed to be used with the rechargeable NiMH
battery pack that came with the unit. The alkaline battery option
should be considered as a backup to the NiMH battery pack, not as
the main source of power for an extended period of time.
Alkaline batteries have a lower capacity and a higher resistance than
NiMH batteries. The battery life and performance of the Allegro is
reduced when alkaline batteries are used. The alkaline batteries have
the following limitations:
The display heater cannot be enabled.
As the batteries reach a low power, the Allegro automatically
disables the backlight to reduce power consumption.
The battery life ranges between 5 and 10 hours (this range is
highly dependent on the temperature).
Storing the Allegro CX During Inactive Periods
When the Allegro is not being charged and is turned off (Suspend
mode), it draws a small amount of power from the main battery
pack. This power draw is used to maintain the memory (RAM) of the
Allegro in the same state it was in when it was shut off. This keeps
the Allegro from needing to reboot.
The intelligent battery circuit monitors the charge level on the NiMH
battery. When the level reaches a low level, the circuit automatically
takes the Allegro out of suspend and shuts down completely so there
is no further drain on the battery. This feature protects your battery
from damage. When the battery is recharged and the Allegro is
turned on, it resets rather than resumes.
The data and programs are secure as long as they have been saved
to the C_Drive, even if the batteries become discharged. The Allegro
does not depend on the battery to store the data for extended
periods.
Storing the Allegro CX for Less Than Two Months
To protect the fi les on your Allegro and the unit itself during short-
term storage periods of two months or less, complete the following
steps:
Close all application programs.
Tap on Start | Programs | Utilities | Save System to save all your
settings and data to your internal storage drive.
Plug your Allegro into your AC wall adapter that was shipped
with your Allegro, or place the unit into the USB/Power Dock
that is plugged into the AC wall charger.
