Precautions

Battery considerations

Follow these precautions when you charge your CLIÉ handheld.
On charging
• It takes about four hours to charge your CLIÉ handheld when the battery
is empty.
• When you charge your CLIÉ handheld every day, it takes only a few
minutes to charge the battery.
• You can view data or play audio files with your CLIÉ handheld while it is
being charged.
On the battery life
• With a fully-charged battery, you can use your CLIÉ handheld for about
fifteen days, 30 minutes each day if you do not use the audio playback
function.
• If you set the HOLD switch to OFF and turn on the frontlight at the
maximum level, you can play music continuously for about 3 hours.
• If you set the HOLD switch to ON, you can play music continuously for
about 11 hours.
• Battery life varies depending on the conditions and environment where
you use your CLIÉ handheld.
• If the battery in your CLIÉ handheld is fully discharged, all data stored
on the DRAM (memory) is lost. Performing another HotSync operation
once the battery is recharged can restore information saved from the last
HotSync operation. For details, see "Backing up data to your computer
through HotSync operation" on page 194.
Tips on conserving the battery
• Turn off the frontlight under good lighting conditions. For turning off the
frontlight, see "Changing the frontlight level" on page 23.
• Change the automatic shut-off time setting so that your CLIÉ handheld
will automatically turn off after a short period of inactivity. For details,
see "Setting the automatic shut-off time" on page 176.
• If you play with the Audio Player, the battery may run out quickly.
