Battery considerations
Please note the following considerations for the battery in your
organizer:
■
Under normal conditions, your organizer battery should remain
charged by placing it in the cradle for just a few minutes each day.
You can conserve battery life by reducing the brightness level on
your organizer, and changing the Auto-off setting that
automatically turns the organizer off after a period of inactivity.
See “General preferences” in Chapter 7 for more information.
Note:
To fully recharge the battery your organizer needs to be
turned off while it is in the cradle.
■
If the battery becomes low in the course of normal use, the battery
icon indicates a low charge. If this happens, perform a HotSync
®
operation to back up your data; then leave your organizer in the
cradle to recharge the unit. This helps prevent accidental data loss.
■
If the battery drains to the point where your organizer does not
operate, it stores your data safely for about a week. In this case,
there is enough residual energy in the battery to store the data, but
not enough to turn on your organizer. If your organizer does not
turn on when you press the power button, you should recharge the
unit immediately.
■
If your battery drains and you have the unit in an uncharged state
for an extended period of time, you can lose all of the stored data.
■
There are no serviceable parts inside your organizer, so do not
attempt to open the unit.
■
If you ever dispose of your organizer, please dispose of it without
damaging the environment. Take your organizer to your nearest
environmental recycling center.
■
The battery is designed to provide years of service under normal
use. To prolong the battery’s useful life, charge it frequently even
when it is not fully discharged.
