Managing the Battery
To use a shortcut to view your battery charge level, tap the
Battery icon located in the TodayPanel Lite on the Today screen
plug in.
Battery Saving Tip: Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Power >
Advanced tab, then tap the Turn off device if not used for
checkbox and set it to turn your iPAQ Pocket PC off after a short
time of not being used.
CAUTION: It is recommended that you do not allow the battery
installed in your iPAQ Pocket PC to discharge completely. Doing so
does not harm your Pocket PC or battery; however, you will lose all
data not stored in File Store (ROM). Discharging the battery
completely is similar to performing a hard reset. Refer to “Performing
a Hard Reset” in Chapter 1 for more information.
Power Saving Tips
Here are some power saving tips to help save energy in your
Pocket PC battery.
■ Set the backlight to go off quickly (10 or 30 seconds) after
you stop using your Pocket PC, or implement Power Save
mode to turn off the backlight completely. For more
information, refer to “Changing the Backlight Settings” later
in this chapter.
Note: Adjusting the Backlight Brightness Level slider to the
lowest level that is still useable for the given lighting conditions
can be the single most important thing you can do to preserve
battery life.
■ Leave your Pocket PC connected to AC power at all times
when you’re not using it. For more information, refer to
“Charging with the AC Adapter” earlier in this chapter.
