In addition, in an embodiment, the user can press the function key 145 by pressing the button 113 on the housing 110. By stopping the operation state of the electronic device 100, the electronic device 100 resumes the data reading, calculation, and writing operations at the time of freezing, and resumes the execution of the program. In this manner, the electronic device 100 can allow the user to continue using the electronic device 100 in a short period of time without waiting for a lengthy boot time. In the above electronic device according to the example of the present invention and the method of safely replacing the battery, when the user opens the first battery cover and removes the battery, the electronic device is in a low power sleep state and is in the second battery power supply mode. As a result, the work and storage information being processed in the electronic device will not be lost due to power failure. In addition, when the first battery is repositioned in the battery compartment and the battery cover is returned, the electronic device can quickly return to the use state. This saves the lengthy boot time, greatly shortens the time the user waits, and improves the efficiency of use. The present invention has been disclosed in the above embodiments, and is not intended to limit the present invention, and the present invention can be variously modified and retouched without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention. The scope of protection is subject to the definition of the scope of the patent application attached.
