CHAPTER 1 Setting Up Your Handheld and Your Computer
What you should know about your handheld’s battery
While your handheld is charging, take a minute to learn about the battery:
If you see an alert on the screen warning you that the battery is low, synchronize
to back up your
information; then recharge your handheld. This helps prevent accidental loss of information.
If the battery gets so low that your handheld doesn’t operate, it will store your information for
about a week. In this case, there is enough power to store your information, but not to turn on
your handheld. If your handheld doesn’t turn on when you press the power button, recharge it
immediately for at least three hours.
Conserve battery life by doing any of the following:
Adjusting the screen brightness
Reducing the Auto-off setting
Preventing your handheld from turning on by accident
Minimizing use of the expansion slot
If your battery drains and you don’t recharge it for an extended period of time,
you can lose all the information on your handheld. If this happens, recharge your handheld, and
then synchronize it with your computer. All of the applications and information from your last
synchronization are transferred to your handheld.
