Battery considerations
Charging

battery is empty.
• If you charge your CLIÉ handheld every day, it takes only a few minutes to
charge the battery.
• You can operate your CLIÉ handheld while it is being charged.
Battery life
• With a fully-charged battery, you can use your CLIÉ handheld for
approximately 10 days with 30-minute operation each day if you do not use
the audio playback function.
• If you set the HOLD switch away from the protect position and turn on the
backlight to the maximum level, you can play music continuously for about
2.5 hours.
• If you set the HOLD switch to the protect position, you can play music
continuously for about 4 hours.
• Battery life varies depending on the conditions and environment where you
use your CLIÉ handheld, or applications to be used.

Conserving the battery

Using peripheral devices
If the caution message that warns of low battery-remaining is displayed while
you use peripheral devices with your CLIÉ handheld, quit operating them
immediately and charge your CLIÉ handheld. If you continue operating, data
in your CLIÉ handheld’s memory may be lost.
