A fully charged battery should provide power for up to 8 hours of use. The operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using the Yakumo deltaX GPS. Some functions, such as using multimedia or operating a SD/MMC card, may consume the battery power considerably. Low Battery Signals and Actions CAUTION: Though your Yakumo deltaX GPS can retain data for 72 hours after its battery runs completely out of power, you must constantly charge the battery of your Yakumo deltaX GPS. This can prevent data loss or damage to the battery caused by the battery's being kept in a discharged state for too long. When you recharge the battery upon a warning of low power, you should charge for at least 30 minutes. If you unplug the AC adapter soon, you may not have sufficient battery power for your operation. You can monitor the battery power by tapping Settings System tab Power icon. The remaining power is displayed on a status bar in the Power control panel. When the battery is low, your Yakumo deltaX GPS will pop up a warning message. You should save your data and recharge the battery immediately upon a warning of low power; otherwise your Yakumo deltaX GPS will turn off automatically. You need to connect the Yakumo deltaX GPS to external AC 29 power for charging before you can use it again. If the battery completely runs out of power, you will lose any information, programs or settings that you added. Power Manager (eUtility) Supplied with your Yakumo deltaX GPS is a tool called "Power Manager." This tool helps you effectively manage power to prolong the battery's operating time. Settings System tab Power Manager. The tool consists of three Tap tabs: System, Smart Battery, and WakeUp. They are described as below. System This page shows the program information. It does not contain any adjustable items. Smart Battery Select a mode from the following four options. Auto Yakumo deltaX GPS will automatically adjust the CPU speed according to the need of the current operation. Low Performance The CPU always runs at a lower speed, thus extending the battery life. High Performance The CPU always runs at normal speed, thus providing standard battery life. Superior Performance The CPU always runs at a high speed, thus shortening the battery life. WakeUp The following item is enabled by default. You can change the setting if you want. SD slot powered off during sleep mode Sets if the Yakumo deltaX GPS will stop the power supply to the SD/MMC slot when the Yakumo deltaX GPS is suspended. (The default setting is unchecked.) 30 You can also select the events for waking up your Yakumo deltaX GPS. Check the desired item(s). (The default settings are all enabled.) Application buttons Record Button SD/MMC Card insertion/removal USB Plug-In Power-Saving Tips Follow these suggestions to maximize the battery's operating time, particularly when you are relying solely on the battery power for extended time periods. Suspend frequently. By default, the screen backlight will automatically turn off and the Yakumo deltaX GPS will also turn off when it has been idle for a period of time. You can shorten the length of the idle time using Settings System tab Power Advanced tab to set up. Press the power button to turn off your Yakumo deltaX GPS when it is not in use, even for a short time. You can also manually turn off the backlight by pressing and holding the power button. Turn off functions not needed or adjust settings. Lower the volume. Do not enable sounds or light flashing except for the most necessary notifications. (Tap Settings Personal tab Sounds & Notifications icon to set up.) Remove the SD/MMC card, if installed, from the slot if you are not using it. Avoid power-consuming situations such as: When connecting your Yakumo deltaX GPS to your desktop computer (Your Yakumo deltaX GPS will not auto-suspend while it is connected.) When using a modem or other peripheral When monitoring infrared transfers (Although you can set your Yakumo deltaX GPS to constantly monitor the IR port for files sent from other devices, doing so will quickly drain your battery.) When playing sound or music When recording. 31 3.2 Managing Memory Storage and Program Memory Files, settings and data that you add to your Yakumo deltaX GPS are stored in RAM (Random Access Memory). The RAM on your Yakumo deltaX GPS is shared between storage memory and program memory. Storage memory Storage memory is used to store the data you create and additional programs you install. Program memory Program memory is used to run programs on your Yakumo deltaX GPS. Your Yakumo deltaX GPS automatically manages the allocation between storage and program memory. However, in some situations, such as when the memory is running out, your Yakumo deltaX GPS may not be able to automatically adjust the allocation. (For information on solving memory problems, see section 7.4.) Additional Memory You can buy a SD/MMC storage card for backup, storage, archives or to transfer large files to other devices. Files stored on a storage card appear in a folder called SDMMC Disk, listed under My Device in the File Explorer application. Data stored on a storage card will be saved, even if your Yakumo deltaX GPS loses power. To protect your data, you can back up regularly to a storage card. 32 3.3 Customizing Your Yakumo deltaX GPS NOTE: Incorrect settings may cause your system to malfunction.
