Hot Swap Mode
The device 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 device retains RAM data for approximately 5 minutes.
Replace the battery within 5 minutes to preserve memory persistence. If the user does not install a
charged battery within 5 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.
CAUTION: To prevent damage to the device, do not perform a hot swap during a device boot up session.
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.
