Notes on charging
Follow these precautions when you charge your CLIE handheld.
• It takes about three hours to charge your CLIE handheld for the first time.
You can normally use your CLIE handheld for about fifteen days when
fully charged. Charge the CLIE handheld everyday. It only takes a few
minutes to charge it if you do it daily. You can save battery power by not
using the back light function and by shortening the auto shutoff time.
(Your CLIE handheld automatically turns off when you do not use your
computer for a certain period of time.) See “Setting the auto shutoff” on
page 238.
• When the battery runs down through normal usage, a caution message
appears. If this caution is displayed, back up all data with HotSync before
you charge your CLIE handheld to prevent unwanted loss of data.
• You can view data entered in your CLIE handheld while charging. See
the Operating Instructions for more information.
• Even if the battery gradually runs out and your CLIE handheld cannot be
turned on, the system safely keeps data for one week. In this case, the
system maintains sufficient battery power to keep data. Start charging as
soon as possible if you cannot turn it on despite pushing the battery
button.
• If the battery status remains at 0 for too long, data may be lost. Make sure
to charge the battery as soon as possible.
• When the battery status is 0, you do not have to change the battery. You
should charge the battery with the cradle as soon as possible. Do not
disassemble your CLIE handheld and remove the battery.
