4. Remove the AC adapter when the power indicator on the top
of the iPAQ Pocket PC turns solid amber. The unit is fully
charged. The approximate time to fully charge a unit is four
hours.
Ä
CAUTION: Incorrectly inserting the charging adapter plug into the
connector on the bottom of the iPAQ Pocket PC can damage the
connector pins.
To avoid damage to the connector pins when removing the charging
adapter from the bottom of the iPAQ Pocket PC, push the release
buttons located on each side of the adapter and pull.
Adjust the Standby Setting
You can adjust the portion of the battery devoted to the “standby
period.” Standby is your battery reserve that is used to protect the
data and programs stored in RAM.
During standby, the unit turns off so very little power is being
consumed. This helps to preserve programs and data stored
in RAM.
You can select a lower standby period if you use the Pocket PC
for extended periods of time. A lower standby period increases
the usable battery operating time.
You can select a higher standby period if you leave your
Pocket PC off for extended periods of time without recharging it.
A higher standby period decreases the usable battery time and
allocates it for standby usage.
