How Do I Maximize Battery Life?

There are a number of ways to ensure your battery lasts as long as
possible between charges. You can use as many as necessary to
maximize your battery life.
■
Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Power > Advanced tab,
then set the iPAQ Pocket PC to turn off after a short time if it
is not being used.
■
Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Backlight, then set the
backlight to go off quickly after you stop using your iPAQ
Pocket PC.
■
Turn off Bluetooth power when not in use. To turn off
Bluetooth, from the Today screen, tap the iPAQ Wireless
icon in the Command bar, and then tap the Bluetooth icon.
■
Turn off Wi-Fi power when not in use. To turn off Wi-Fi,
from the Today screen, tap the iPAQ Wireless icon in the
Command bar, and then tap the Wi-Fi icon.
■
Leave your iPAQ Pocket PC connected to AC power at all
times when you're not using it.

Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Beam, then

To ensure you always have battery power available, purchase
a spare battery or Extended Battery. The spare battery can be
charged in the USB Synchronization Cradle/Charger. For
