Tips for Extending Battery Charge

When batteries are low, you will see a battery icon in the status bar of the Today screen.
Replace or recharge low batteries as soon as possible. When main batteries are
discharged, your data will be preserved by the backup battery. If the backup battery is
discharged, you run the risk of losing the data on your Pocket PC.

You want your Pocket PC battery charge to last as long as possible, especially when you
are on the road. Under normal conditions, you can get many hours of use from a single
set of batteries or from a full charge. Here are a few tips to help you get the most from
them.

especially when:

• Establishing a remote connection (some modems use a lot of power).
• Using the backlight feature of your Pocket PC display.
• Connecting to a desktop computer.
• Letting the notification light flash for extended periods.

Shorten Auto-Suspend Time

not touched the hardware buttons or used the stylus for a specified period. Maximize

battery life by shortening the time. Tap

and then Settings. On the System tab, tap
