Managing Your Pocket PC

This chapter tells you how to effectively manage power, memory, settings, data
and programs of your Pocket PC.

3.1 Managing

Power

A fully charged battery should provide power for up to 8

hours of use. The

operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using the
Pocket PC. Some functions, such as using multimedia or operating a SD/MMC
card, may consume the battery power considerably.

Low Battery Signals and Actions

CAUTION: When you recharge the battery upon a warning of low power, you should

charge for at least 30 minutes. If you unplug the AC adapter soon, you may not have

sufficient battery power for your operation.


You can monitor the battery power by tapping

Settings System

Power

. The remaining power is displayed on a status bar in the Power control

panel.

When the battery is low, your Pocket PC will pop up a warning message. You
should save your data and recharge the battery immediately upon a warning of
low power; otherwise your Pocket PC will turn off automatically. You need to
connect the Pocket PC to external AC power for charging before you can use it
again.
