Backup Power
The MC33XX is equipped with a supercapcitator (supercap) to provide backup power to the device when the main
battery is removed. The supercap will retain random access memory (RAM) data in memory for approximately five
minutes after the main battery is removed during Hot Swap.
Charging Temperature
Charge batteries in ambient temperatures from 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F) or up to 45°C (113°F) as reported by
the battery. To view the battery temperature, touch > About phone > Battery information.
Note that charging is intelligently controlled by the MC33XX. To accomplish this, for small periods of time, the
MC33XX or accessory alternately enables and disables battery charging to keep the battery at acceptable
temperatures. The MC33XX or accessory indicates when charging is disabled due to abnormal temperatures via
its LED.
Charging Spare Batteries
See Accessories for information on using accessories to charge spare batteries.
Hot Swap Mode
The MC33XX provides a Hot Swap mode where the user can replace the battery without powering off the device.
When the user removes the battery, the display turns off and the device enters a low power state while in Hot Swap
mode. In Hot Swap mode, the MC33XX retains RAM data for approximately five minutes. Replace the battery
within five minutes to preserve memory persistence. If the user does not install a charged battery within five
minutes, data in RAM will be lost. During Hot Swap mode, Wi-Fi and Bluetooth remain connected for 30 seconds.
If the battery is not inserted within 30 seconds, Wi-Fi is disabled and then re-enabled when the device comes out of
Hot Swap mode and Bluetooth is reset when the device comes out of Hot Swap mode.
Google Account Setup
IMPORTANT: The supercap is automatically charged from the main battery and requires approximately ten
minutes to fully charge.
IMPORTANT: The supercap requires time to recharge after performing a Hot Swap or after the main battery is
fully depleted. Hot Swap mode will not retain data unless the supercap is fully charged.
NOTE: The MC33XX has to be connected to the internet in-order to set up a Google ™ account.
