Battery considerations
Battery safety
To avoid possible damage from battery leakage, observe the following:
• Do not use any other type of battery in your CLIÉ handheld.
• Do not charge the battery in any other way than as specified in this manual.
• Do not throw the battery into fire.
• Do not attempt to short-circuit the battery.
• Do not take the battery apart.
• Do not modify the battery.
• Do not heat the battery in an oven.
• Do not charge the battery near an open flame or in direct sunlight.
• Do not leave the battery in a car.
• Do not subject your CLIÉ handheld or the battery to excessive shock.
• Take care not to drop your CLIÉ handheld, give pressure to it with a sharp
object, or crush with a heavy object.
• If you have skin contact with battery leakage or get some in your eye, wash
with water immediately and consult a doctor.
Charging
• It takes approximately four hours to charge your CLIÉ handheld when the
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 the battery is being charged.
• Data stored in the internal memory (not on the “Memory Stick”) is retained
with battery power. If the battery becomes completely discharged, data
stored in the internal memory is lost. You should charge the battery regularly
and back up your data using Memory Stick Backup.
Battery life
Battery life varies depending on the conditions and environment where you use
your CLIÉ handheld and applications used.
