1. Batteries and Power
1.1. OVERVIEW
Battery charging, installation, and information about the single-slot dock,
battery charger and power cable are located in the Quick Reference Guide.
1.2. SUSPEND MODE
The PDA will go into suspend or sleep mode when it is idle for a configurable
period of time, by default it is configured to 3 minutes. The idle duration can
be customized using the Power control panel. Suspend mode works and
looks just like you have turned the unit off.
Press the [ On/Off ] key to suspend (put to sleep) the CHD Five.
Press the [ On/Off ] key again for the PDA to resume its previous state.
Use the Battery Power control panel to set the idle duration and suspend
mode initiation. This will save battery power when PDA is not in use.
Suspending
The following conditions will suspend (put the PDA to sleep):
•Press the [ Power ] key while the unit is on.
•The sleep timer expires, which indicates that there has been no use for
a specified period of time.
•The battery pack is completely discharged.

CHD FiVE
Computer Hardware Design 6
Resuming
Use one of the following methods to resume (wake up the PDA):
•Press [ Power ] key to suspend or resume (wake up).
•Put the PDA into a dock or connect to data cabel.
When a battery pack completely discharges while the unit is in suspend mode,
the PDA remains suspended until the discharged battery is changed or PDA
is connected to charger.
1.3. BATTERY
The battery pack in the PDA is a Lithium Ion battery pack 3.7V, 2000 mAh.
1.4. BATTERY WARNINGS AND CAUTIONS
Prior to using the PDA for the first time, you MUST charge the battery pack.
The initial charging cycle for both the battery pack and back-up battery takes
approximately thirteen (13) hours. Subsequent charging cycles take four (4)
hours.
If you remove the battery pack or it completely discharges, there is a 2 hour
window in which to insert a charged battery pack before the backup battery
completely discharges. If your backup battery completely discharges, the
contents of the RAM memory will be lost. If your backup battery is less than
fully charged, there is proportionally smaller window of time available.
Use only the correct battery packs, charger, and dock supplied by a CHD or
CHD dealer. The use of other battery supplies can damage the PDA and void
your warranty. For the correct supplies for the CHD FIVE, please contact your
CHD reseller.
Lithium-ion Polymer battery packs can get hot, explode, ignite and/or cause
serious injury if exposed to abusive situations.
Follow the safety warnings listed below:
•Do not place the battery pack in fire or heat the battery.
•Do not install the battery pack backwards so the polarity is reversed.
•Do not connect the positive terminal and negative terminal of the
battery pack
to each other with any metal object (such as wire).
•Do not carry or store battery pack together with metal objects.
•Do not pierce the battery pack with nails, strike the battery with a
hammer, step
on the battery or otherwise subject it to strong impacts or shocks.
•Do not solder directly onto the battery pack.
•Do not expose battery pack to liquids, or allow the battery contacts to
get wet.
Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. The battery pack contains
safety and protection devices, which, if damaged, may cause the battery pack
to generate heat, explode or ignite.

CHD FiVE
Computer Hardware Design 7
Do not discharge the battery pack using any device except for the specified
device. When it is used in devices other than the specified device, the battery
pack can be damaged or its life expectancy reduced. If the device causes an
abnormal current to flow, it may cause the battery pack to become hot,
explode or ignite and cause serious injury.
In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into one's eye, do not
rub the eye. Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left
untreated, the battery fluid could cause damage to the eye.
If you remove the battery pack or perform a cold reset on the PDA, you will
loose any data currently in RAM memory.
When you remove the battery pack, the unit automatically performs a cold
reset. It is a good idea to store any important data in the resident Flash
memory for this reason.
Always charge the battery pack within the temperature range of 32°-113°F
(0°-45°C).
Do not place the battery pack in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers
or on induction cookware.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery pack if, while using, charging or
storing the battery, it emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or
shape, or appears abnormal in any other way.
Do not place the battery pack in or near fire, on stoves or other high
temperature locations. Do not place the battery pack in direct sunlight or use
or store the battery pack inside cars in hot weather. Doing so may cause the
battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite. Using the battery pack in this
manner may also result in a loss of performance and a shortened life
expectancy.
CHD recommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to
ensure maximum performance.
1.5. BATTERY DISPOSAL
Replace the battery pack only with one supplied by a CHD reseller.
When the battery is worn out, insulate the battery contacts with adhesive tape
or a similar material prior to disposal.
Please recycle Lithium-Ion Batteries.
Do not throw Lithium-Ion Batteries in the trash.

2.6. INSTALLING PROGRAMS
Programs pre-installed on the device are stored in ROM (read only memory).
You cannot remove, or modify this software. You may add programs and data
files to RAM (random access memory) or into memory card. Please follow the
directions provided with the software to install it.
Using an Installation Wizard
If the file has an installer, the installation wizard begins. Follow the directions
on the screen. Once the software is installed on your desktop computer, the
installer transfers the software to your terminal automatically.
Installing Programs Manually
If the file does not contain an installer, an error message indicates the
program is valid but is designed for a different type of computer.
1. Install * . cab, * . exe, * . zip, setup. exe files, or other files designed for
the device.
2. Windows CE .NET applications will also work on the device.

or disk that contains the program into your desktop computer).
1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > General on device.
Make a note of the information in the processor field.
2. Read the installation instructions, ReadMe files, or manual that comes
with the program. Many programs provide installation instructions. If
you cannot find installation instructions for the program in the ReadMe
file or manual, use ActiveSync Explorer to copy the program file to the
Program Files folder on your device. For more information on copying
files using ActiveSync, refer to the ActiveSync online Help.
3. Connect your terminal and desktop computer.
4. Double-click the * . exe file.
