Storing the Allegro During Inactive Periods
To protect the Allegro and your files during long or short-term storage
periods, please take the following precautions:
❏ Close all application programs.
❏ Run the SaveRegistry utility found at Start|Programs|Utilities.
❏ Store the Allegro in a cool location (<20°C, 68°F).
The data and programs are secure as long as they have been saved to the
non-volatile solid state storage, even if the batteries become discharged.
The Allegro does not depend on the battery to store the data for
extended periods.
Storing the Allegro for Less Than Two Months
If you store the Allegro for less than two months, we recommend that
you leave the NiMH battery pack in the Allegro and attach the AC
power adapter to keep the batteries charged.
Once the battery pack is fully charged, the Allegro switches to trickle
charge mode. You can leave the Allegro in trickle charge mode
continuously without damaging the batteries. The battery pack will be
fully charged when you are ready to use the Allegro.
❖ Note: Do not leave the Allegro plugged into a wall outlet where the power to
that outlet cycles on and off frequently. The battery can become damaged from
overcharging.
Storing the Allegro for More Than Two Months
If you store the Allegro for more than two months, perform a
SaveRegistry command to save all data on the Allegro’s internal data
storage, remove the battery pack from the Allegro and attach the AC
power adapter to prevent the internal lithium backup battery from
draining.
When you are ready to use the Allegro, insert a battery pack and fully
charge it as outlined in the beginning of the Batteries section. The Allegro
will automatically restore the saved system and reset the time on the
Allegro. You are now ready to begin using the Allegro again.
