Maximizing battery life
You can increase the life of your Treo battery by following a few easy guidelines.
Remember that battery life depends on how you use your Treo.
Charge your Treo whenever you're at your desk, or charge it overnight each
day. The Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery has a much longer useful life when it is
topped off frequently, rather than charging it after it is fully drained.
The wireless features of your Treo (phone, email, messaging, and Web)
consume more power than its organizer features. However, if you spend a lot
of time using the camera (if included), games, media players, eBooks, or other
®
Palm OS applications, keep an eye on the battery level and charge when
necessary.
If you don't plan to use the wireless features on your Treo for a while, you may
want to turn off your device (see "Turning Your Device's Phone On and Off"
on page 33). You can forward calls to a different number or let all calls be
picked up by voicemail (see "Call Forwarding" on page 157).
As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage, your
Treo searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot move to an
area of better coverage, you may wish to temporarily turn off your device (see
"Turning Your Device's Phone On and Off" on page 33).
Turn down the screen brightness (see "Adjusting the Brightness" on page 130).
Decrease the Auto-off setting in Power Preferences (see "Power Preferences"
on page 138). This turns off your screen automatically after a shorter period of
inactivity.
