1.2 Battery

Your Pocket PC Phone contains a rechargeable Lithium polymer battery
under the back cover. While you are using your device the amount of power
consumed depends on whether you are talking on the phone, using the PDA
functions or the device is on standby.
The estimates for battery life :
n Talk-time
: 3 ~ 5 hrs,
n PDA
: 16 - 17 hrs,
n Standby
: 150 -170 hrs,
These are based on you only using this function so, as you will be continu-
ally interchanging between these features and functions the estimates will
vary.

Data Retention

Remembering to charge your battery is extremely important as your device
does not have a hard drive - all your data and any new programs you install,
are stored in RAM. In the event that the battery loses all its power the data
and new programs mentioned above will be wiped off -only the default pro-
grams installed when you bought the device will remain.
Power Save Mode
The device will go into its power save mode after 30 seconds of inactivity
(this setting can be adjusted). The screen will go blank when this happens.
To wake it back up, press the power button on the top left of the device. You
can still receive calls in power save mode.

Recharging the Battery

You can recharge your device in the following ways :
1
Place your Pocket PC Phone in the cradle and connect the
cradle to an external power source. The first time you use it
initially charge for 3-4 hours. Then, place it in the cradle for a
short time each day to recharge it to its full capacity.
2
You can plug the AC adapter into the optional USB/Serial cable
head and then connect your Pocket PC Phone directly to an
external power source.
3
You can plug the AC adapter into the optional DC Converter
and then connect your Pocket PC Phone directly to an external
power source.

When Your Battery is Low

Your device has only one main battery, however, a portion of that battery
is saved as backup. If the battery gets very low, your Pocket PC Phone
displays a warning message. If this occurs, save any unsaved data you
are working on, perform a synchronization with your PC, then turn off your
Pocket PC Phone.
