Notes on charging
Follow these precautions, when you charge Sony handheld.
It takes about three hours to charge for the first time. You can usually use
Sony handheld for about fifteen days with a full charge. Charge the Sony
handheld everyday. It only takes a few minutes to charge if you do it
everyday. You can save battery power by not using the backlight
function and by shortening the auto-shutoff time. (Sony handheld
automatically rotates off when you don’t use your computer for a certain
period of time.) See “Setting the auto shutoff” on page 164.
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 Sony handheld to prevent mistaken loss of data.
You can view data entered in your Sony handheld while charging. See
Read This First for more information.
Even if the battery gradually runs out and your Sony handheld cannot be
rotated 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 whenever you cannot rotate it on even though you push
the battery button.
If the battery remainder status remains at 0 for too long, data may be lost.
Be sure to charge the battery as soon as possible.
When the battery remainder status reads 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 Sony handheld and take off the
battery.
