Storage, Maintenance and Recycling
Follow the instructions in this chapter to properly maintain
and recycle the Mesa.
Storing the Mesa and Battery Pack(s)
When the Mesa is not being charged and is suspended, it draws
a small amount of power. This power draw is used to maintain
the memory (RAM) of the Mesa in the same state it was when it
was suspended. We recommend charging the Mesa each night or
weekend when it is in suspend mode.
If the Mesa is not charged while in suspend mode and the
battery reaches a low charge, it automatically powers off to
prevent further drain on the battery.
Data and programs are secure as long as they have been saved,
even if the battery pack becomes discharged. The Mesa does not
depend on the battery to store the data for extended periods.
Storing the Mesa for Less Than Two Weeks
To protect the files on your Mesa and the unit itself during
storage periods of less than two weeks, complete the following
steps:
1. Close all application programs.
2. Plug the Mesa into the AC wall adapter that was shipped
with your unit.
Storing the Mesa for More than Two Weeks
To protect the files on your Mesa and the unit itself during
storage periods of two weeks or more, complete the following
steps:
1. Charge the battery pack(s) 30% to 50%.
2. Close all running programs and turn off the Mesa.
3. Remove the battery pack(s).
4. Place the battery pack(s) in a dry location.
