Managing the Battery
✎
The amber charge light blinks while the battery is recharging and
turns solid (nonblinking) when the battery is fully charged.
✎
To charge an optional battery at the same time as the iPAQ Pocket
PC, insert the battery into the cradle, then insert the iPAQ Pocket
PC in front of the battery.
If you receive a low backup battery warning, charge your unit
immediately before removing the main battery to avoid data loss.
To view the amount of charge left in the backup battery, tap
Start > Settings > System tab > Power.
Preserving Battery Time
Adjusting the Standby Setting
Adjusting the Standby setting can preserve battery time. During
Standby, the unit turns off so very little power is being consumed.
This helps to preserve programs and data stored in RAM.
■ Lower Standby Period—Increases the useable battery time.
If you use the iPAQ Pocket PC for extended periods of time,
you can choose to select a lower Standby Period.
■ Higher Standby Period—Decreases the useable battery
time and allocates it for standby usage. If you leave your
iPAQ Pocket PC off for extended periods of time without
recharging it, you can choose to select a higher Standby
Period.
For more information on using the Standby setting, tap
Start > Settings > System tab > Power icon > Standby tab >
Settings > Help.
