1. A handheld medical device comprising:
- an electronic device;
a power source;
an accelerometer operable to detect movement and orientation of the handheld medical device; and
a processing device communicatively coupled to the accelerometer and configured to automatically adjust an ON/OFF state of the electronic device based at least in part on (i) a detected movement of the medical device, and (ii) a detected orientation of the medical device at a time of the detected movement.

Abstract
A handheld device includes an electronic instrument and a capacitive power supply for storing and delivering power to the electronic instrument. The capacitive power supply includes at least one capacitor, and an electronic circuit operable to boost a voltage from the capacitor to a higher voltage for use by the electronic instrument. The capacitive power supply can be rapidly recharged. Some configurations include an accelerometer which permits the handheld device to detect movement and perform various operations responsive to detected movement. A dual charging station is also disclosed.
