NOTE: Use CF Backup/Restore or ActiveSync to keep a backup of your iPAQ data so that if you
need to clear memory, you can restore the data on your iPAQ. For more information, see
“Backup and Restore Data
” in Chapter 2, and ActiveSync Help on the computer.
Battery Loses Power
When the battery is low, you will see a battery icon in the status bar of the Today screen.
Recharge a low battery as soon as possible. If your iPAQ H3000 shuts down, you still have
about 24 hours to recharge the battery before you lose the data on your Pocket PC.
You want your iPAQ H3000 battery charge to last as long as possible, especially when
you’re on the road. Under normal conditions, you can get many hours of use from a full
charge. The following tips to help you get the most from them:
Use external power whenever possible
Use the AC adapter to plug your iPAQ H3000 into external power whenever possible,
especially when:
• Establishing a remote connection (some modems use a lot of power).
• Using the backlight feature of your iPAQ H3000 display.
• Connecting to a computer.
• Playing audio files for extended periods.
Shorten auto-suspend time
While on battery power, your iPAQ H3000 automatically suspends operation if you
haven’t touched the hardware buttons or used the stylus for three minutes. Maximize bat-
tery life by shortening the time. Press the QMenu button, then press Power, and adjust the
On battery power setting.
Letting the battery fully discharge has the same effect as clearing memory: all data
is lost and your iPAQ H3000 returns to its factory settings. If your iPAQ H3000 shuts
down, you should recharge the battery within 24 hours.
