Charging Tips; Battery Life - Tapwave Zodiac User Manual

Charging tips

•
Although you can turn your handheld on while it is charging, your
handheld charges more quickly while it is turned off.
•
The battery has a built-in sensor to prevent it from overheating. This
also means that it stops charging if the environment is too warm.
– Keep in mind that operating your handheld while charging the
battery generates heat.
– We do not recommend charging your handheld in environments
that are over 86 degrees Farenheit.
– If you must charge your handheld in temperatures above 91
degrees Farenheit, do not turn it on while it is charging.

Battery life

Extend the life of your battery by following these guidelines:
•
Use the lowest brightness setting you find comfortable (see page 21).
•
Turn off your handheld as soon as you finish using it. Do not wait for
the auto timeout to turn it off.
•
Keep the Auto-off after setting in General Preferences set to 30
seconds in case you forget to turn off your handheld.
•
Use the headphones when listening to music and videos and keep the
volume low. Playing them loudly through the internal speakers will
significantly reduce battery life. Playing them loudly through the
headphones can permanently damage your hearing.
•
Turn off Bluetooth when you're not using it.
•
Turn off the Beam Receive setting in General Preferences when you're
not using the IR port to receive information from another device.
