Automatic Recharging Of The Transmitter - Palm VII Handbook

Automatic recharging of the transmitter

The transmitter used by your organizer for web clipping and wireless
Internet messaging contains a rechargeable storage battery. It is a
NiCad (nickel-cadmium) battery.
When you first set up your organizer, the initial charging of the
transmitter takes about 70 minutes. Like any storage battery, the
transmitter must be recharged. How often recharging must happen
depends on the frequency with which you use web clipping and
wireless Internet messaging.
You don't have to do anything to recharge the transmitter. Your
organizer senses when the transmitter needs to be recharged and
automatically recharges it from the AAA batteries. Your organizer
also tries to schedule the recharging of the transmitter at a time when
you typically don't use the organizer. The organizer does not have to
be turned on to recharge the transmitter.
To monitor the status of the transmitter:
1. In the Applications Launcher, tap the Diagnostics icon.
2. Tap Details.
