If left at the default value, Maximum Operating Time, the EP10 will run until the battery is completely empty; the RAM is only backed up for a short period of time. If you choose Maximum Backup Time, the EP10 shuts off with more energy left in the battery so RAM can be backed up for a longer period of time.
Page 32: Chargers And Docking Stations
EP10 will not switch on. Also keep in mind that, along with the battery, the EP10 is equipped with internal, super-capacitors that pre- serve data stored on the EP10 for approximately 2 minutes while the battery is swapped.

[SCAN] keys activate the scanner beam. For a unit that does not have an internal imager, these keys can be remapped to serve other functions.
Page 37: The Numeric Keyboard - Accessing Alpha Keys
Note: To choose the second, third or fourth alpha character assigned to a numeric key, you may want to lock the [SHIFT] key ‘on’.

• The EP10 is ‘event’ driven – that is, when it is not in use, the EP10 reverts to sleep mode (even when it appears to be running), saving battery power. Events include a key press, touchscreen taps and scan triggers.
Page 43: Storing Batteries
When the EP10 is switched off, it goes into a low-power, suspend state but continues to draw a small amount of power from the battery. This should not be an issue unless the EP10 is left in suspend state for more than a week – for long-term storage, the battery should be removed.
