How long is the battery good for in the HammerHead unit?
•
WalkAbout recommends replacing the HammerHead battery
annually.
What factors can influence the life of the battery charge?
•
PCMCIA devices require power and are known to shorten
battery life.
•
Constant reading and writing of the Hard Disk will shorten
battery life.
•
Old batteries will begin to exhibit signs of “charge memory”
which results in shortened battery life.
What do I do when the battery discharges and will not charge in
the unit?
•
There are several fused circuits in the HammerHead designed
to protect the core electronics. In the event that the unit will not
initiate the charge cycle, there may be a blown fuse in the
circuit.
Why doesn’t the HammerHead boot after I replace the battery and
place it on the Desktop Docking Station?
•
When replacing the battery, the unit will perform a simple self-
test by simultaneously lighting each LED on the front of the
unit. You must allow this test to complete before introducing
external power to the unit.
