User Maintenance
Batteries
Your CASSIOPEIA is powered by a dual power supply that consists of a main battery
(rechargeable battery pack) and a backup battery (CR2032 lithium battery).
• We recommend that you use the Power dialog box to keep informed about the current
levels of your main and backup batteries. See the separate Pocket PC User’s Guide
and Pocket PC online help for more information about this dialog box.
• Icons appear in the Taskbar to let you know when battery power is low. See the
separate Pocket PC User’s Guide for more information about these icons.
Important
The following messages appear whenever battery power drops below a certain level.
Main Battery
Recharge the battery pack as soon as possible after the following message appears.
“Main Batteries Very Low
To prevent possible data loss, replace or recharge your main batteries according to
the owner’s manual.”
Backup Battery
Replace the backup battery as soon as possible after the following message appears.
“Backup Battery Very Low
To prevent possible data loss, replace or recharge your backup battery according
to the owner’s manual.”
• Data stored in memory can be lost if you continue operation after the low battery message
appears or if you incorrectly load batteries. Be sure to always back up important data on
your desktop computer hard disk or on a CompactFlash memory card. See ActiveSync
help for information about backing up files to a desktop computer.
• See the Card Backup Tool manual (PDF file) on the CASSIOPEIA Application CD-
ROM for information about backing up data to a CompactFlash memory card for
information about using the Card Backup Tool program to back up data to a
CompactFlash memory card.
• Never remove the main battery and backup battery from the CASSIOPEIA at the
same time. Doing so causes all data stored in memory to be deleted.

danger of fire and electrical shock.
• Always make sure that the positive (+) and negative (–) poles of the batteries are
oriented correctly.
• Use only the types of batteries specified for use with this unit.
• Charge the battery pack in an area where the temperature is between 10°C (50°F)
and 35°C (95°F). Charging in areas that are very cold or exposed to direct sunlight
can cause deterioration and leaking of the battery pack.
• To avoid deterioration and leaking, the battery pack is designed to discharge even
when you do not use the CASSIOPEIA. Be sure to recharge the battery pack at least
once every three months, regardless of how much you use the CASSIOPEIA during
that time.
• A battery pack that loses power too quickly after it is charged is probably near the

Resetting the Unit
“Reset” is similar to a computer reboot. Performing a reset deletes any data that is in
the process of being input or edited, without yet being saved. Data stored in memory
and all settings, however, are retained.
Perform the reset operation whenever the unit fails to operate correctly due to
operational error or some other abnormality. Any of the following symptoms indicate
that reset is required.
• Failure of the unit to respond when the screen is tapped or a button is pressed
• The hourglass icon remaining on the screen
Performing a Reset
1. Use the stylus to press the RESET button.
• The unit performs a reset followed by a memory check operation.
If no data error is found, the following two screens appear on the display in
succession.
• Startup screen
• Desktop
2. Normal unit operation is possible after the desktop appears.
• Memory data and settings are retained when you reset the Pocket PC.
Important
If the above operation does not solve the problem, perform a full reset (memory
initialize, page 34).
32

Memory Error Message
If the memory check operation that the unit performs when the RESET button is
pressed detects a data error, the following message appears on the screen instead of the
startup screen.
“A problem with memory contents has been found. Press [Action] to continue with
the reset procedure, which restores normal system operation.
Note that if the system determines that user memory cannot be repaired, it will
delete all user data currently in memory.
See the User’s Guide for details about initializing memory.”
This message indicates that the memory error is fatal and so recovery is impossible.
Press the [Action] control to execute a full reset (memory initialize), which deletes all
data stored in memory.
• Pressing the [Action] control should display the Startup screen followed by the touch
screen calibration screen. Perform steps 5 through 6 under “Initial Setup” on page 12
to set up the unit.
• If pressing the [Action] control returns to the desktop without displaying the startup
screen first, see the following explanation for the procedure you need to follow.
What to do if the startup screen does not appear when you press the
[Action] control
Even though the desktop appears when you press the [Action] control, there is still a
data error in memory and you have to perform a full reset (memory initialize). Before
you do, however, there is the chance that some of the data in memory can be recalled
and even transferred to a computer. Try recalling the data you need before performing
the procedure described on the next page to perform a full reset.
Important
Do not use the ActiveSync backup function to back up data to a computer when you
suspect a data error. Doing so may also include the corrupted data that is causing your
problem, which means the problem will reappear when you restore the data.

• When you want to delete all memory data and return unit settings to their factory
defaults
• When you forget your password and need to clear it
• When a data error causes operational problems
• Appearance of the message: “A problem with memory contents has been found...”
Performing a Full Reset
Important
• The following procedure deletes all data in memory. Be sure that data is backed up or
that you no longer need it before performing the following procedure.
• If there is a CompactFlash card in the CASSIOPEIA’s slot, remove the card before
performing the full reset.
1. Make sure that unit power is turned on.
2. While holding down the [Power] button, use the stylus to hold down the RESET
button for about two seconds.
• This causes the following message to appear on the display screen.
“Proceeding with this operation initializes memory. Press [Action] to proceed or
[Start] to cancel.”
3. Press the [Action] control.
• This causes the following message to appear on the display screen.
“Proceeding with this operation deletes all data stored in memory. Press [Action]
to proceed or [Start] to cancel.”
4. Press the [Action] control again.
• This starts the full reset operation, which deletes all data in memory.
• Pressing the [Action] control displays the Startup screen. Perform steps 5 through 6
under “Initial Setup” on page 12 to set up the unit.
You can abort the full reset operation while the messages in steps 2 and 3 are on the

Errors Following a Full Reset
Either of the following two conditions can cause errors to continue, even after you
perform a full reset.
• Hardware defect
• System problem caused by failure by you to correctly perform the reset procedure
before using the unit for the first time
