3 Batteries and Power
3.1 OVERVIEW
Battery charging, installation, and information about the single-slot dock, battery charger
and power cable are located in the Quick Reference Guide.
3.2 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 (refer to "Schemes Tab" on page 3^9). 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 < 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.
3.2.1 Suspending
The following conditions will suspend (put the PDA to sleep):
•Press the < On/Off > 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.
3.2.2 Resuming
Use one of the following methods to resume (wake up the PDA):
•Press < On/Off > key to suspend or resume (wake up).
•Put the PDA into a dock or connect to data cable.
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 a
charger.

3.4 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 the 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 batteries, charger and cradle 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 improper 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.
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 case 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 can
cause damage to the eye.
Always charge the battery pack within the temperature range of 0°-45°C.
Do not place the battery pack in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers or on induction
cookware.

Immediately stop using the battery pack if, while operating, charging or storing the battery, it
emits unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or shape, or seems 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 in the car 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 loss of performance and a
shortened life expectancy.
CHD recommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure maximum
performance.

material prior to disposal.
Please recycle Lithium-Ion Batteries.
Do not throw Lithium-Ion Batteries in the trash.
3.6 EXTEND BATTERY LIFE
