Frequently asked questions
This chapter includes answers to some common questions about the
handheld.
Alarm
Why is my alarm not sounding when I’ve set the time?
Ensure that you have enabled the alarm by setting the Alarm
On/Off field to ‘On.’ When the alarm is set, a bell icon appears
on the Home screen. See page 151 for information on setting
this field.
Battery
Can I use a NiCd rechargeable alkaline or any other non-NiMH
cell in my handheld in conjunction with the charging cradle?
It is not recommended to use a NiCd rechargeable alkaline or
any other non-NiMH cell. We suggest using the Sanyo NiMH
model HR-3U or the other cells indicated in this manual. See
page 22 for more information on installing the battery.
How can I conserve battery life?
Following these suggestions will help you get the most out of your
rechargeable NiMH cell or single-use alkaline battery.
Enable the Auto On/Off feature at night and weekends.
