Battery considerations
Follow these precautions when you charge your CLIÉ handheld.
On charging
• It takes about three hours to charge your CLIÉ handheld when the battery
is empty.
• When you charge your CLIÉ handheld every day, it takes only a few
minutes to charge the battery.
• You can view data on your CLIÉ handheld while it is being charged.
On the battery life
• With a fully-charged battery, you can use your CLIÉ handheld for about
fifteen days, 30 minutes each day.
• Battery life varies depending on the conditions and environment where
you use your CLIÉ handheld.
Tips on conserving the battery
• Turn off the backlight under good lighting conditions. For turning off the
backlight, see “Adjusting the screen” on page 25.
• Change the automatic shut-off time setting so that your CLIÉ handheld
will automatically turn off after a short period of inactivity. For details,
see “Setting the automatic shut-off time” on page 169.
When your battery runs out
• When the battery runs out, a caution message appears on the screen. If
this occurs, perform a HotSync ® operation to back up all your CLIÉ
handheld’s data on your computer. Then charge your CLIÉ handheld
using the AC adapter. This helps prevent accidental data loss.
• If your CLIÉ handheld does not turn on when you press the POWER
button, charge your CLIÉ handheld immediately.
• The remaining battery indicator does not always reflect the actual battery
amount. The battery is designed to provide years of service under normal
use. To prolong the battery’s life, charge it frequently even when it is not
fully discharged.
