Data Storage Tips

The Allegro CX has a solid state storage drive used to store

programs and data, named the C_Drive. The solid state internal

storage is non-volatile so information stored on it is retained even

when no power is supplied to the Allegro.
The best way to ensure that applications and data are safe is to

store them on the C_Drive or a PC Card. To install an application

to the C_Drive, complete the following steps:

Run the application’s install program, while the Allegro CX is

connected to the desktop PC through ActiveSync.
Click on NO, when asked to install to the Default Installation

Directory

.

Select the C_Drive as the destination media, and then click on

OK

.

Run the Save System utility by tapping on Start | Programs |

Utilities | Save System

.

Battery Gauging Tips

The Allegro’s intelligent battery gauging circuit helps you

efficiently maintain the batteries. The percentage of the remaining

charge in the batteries is displayed in the system tray icon.
The battery gauging is an estimate. It works well in applications

where the Allegro is used heavily and charged every day. When

the Allegro is not being used (turned off), it draws a small

amount of power from the main battery pack to maintain the

internal RAM memory of the Allegro in the same state it was

when it was shut off.

Important Battery Gauging Tip
To avoid battery gauging errors, keep the Allegro attached to the

AC charging adapter or in the USB/Power Dock when not in use.

This practice prevents the battery pack from self-discharging. The

battery stays charged and the battery gauging reflects the correct

status of the battery pack. The Allegro can be left plugged in

overnight and on weekends without harming the battery pack.

Please refer to the on-line owner’s manual found on the Allegro CX
Distribution CD for more information about Batteries and Battery
Gauging. You can order a hard copy of the manual if needed.
