I have a 2-year-old Qtek 2020 (PDA/Phone) which is the same as an similar-vintage model I-Mate or O2 PDA.

Not thought before about the fact that it has a computer that is running all the time, and that computers have to be switched off below 10,000 feet.

I am very careful to keep the main battery charged, as I had a "memory loss" one day when I let it run down. Yes, I save everything to the MMC card regularly, but it would be a real pain if I had to restore from MMC every time I flew (and took the battery out!)

Ideas?
