How Do I Maximize Battery Life?

To help your battery last as long as possible between charges, you
can change the battery settings on your Pocket PC.
Adjusting these settings will maximize your battery life:
■
Leave your device connected to AC power at all times when
not using it.
■
On the Today screen, in the TodayPanel Lite, use your
stylus to adjust the Backlight Brightness Level slider,
located under the Light bulb icon, halfway across to the
middle position.
IMPORTANT:
to the lowest level that is still useable for the given lighting
conditions can be the single most important thing you can do to
preserve battery life.
■
Turn off the backlight. On the Today screen, tap the Light
bulb icon > Battery Power tab; then set the backlight to turn
off soon after you stop using the device.
■
Leave the device set to turn off after not being used for a short
time. On the Today screen, tap the Battery icon > Advanced
tab. On battery power, set the device to power off in the
shortest acceptable time.
■
Turn off Wi-Fi power when not in use. To turn off Wi-Fi, tap
the iPAQ Wireless icon in the lower right corner of the Today
screen, then, on the iPAQ Wireless screen, tap the Wi-Fi icon
to turn it off.
■

Bluetooth, tap the iPAQ Wireless icon in the lower right
