For charging the built-in battery, maintain an ambient temperature from approx. 41°F
to 95°F.

Toshiba Pocket PC.
When the built-in battery is completely charged, the LED alarm lamp color will change
to green.
How to Prolong Battery Life
■ Use the Toshiba Pocket PC with the AC adapter.
When you use the Toshiba Pocket PC under the following conditions, the power
consumption will be large. Please use the AC adapter when:
■ The Toshiba Pocket PC is operated while connected to your computer.
■ The Toshiba Pocket PC is operated with storage card or with any other
optional equipment.
■ Select the short power-off time in the setting menu. This will shorten the time the
unit will remain on if not used. For more information, see “Customize Your
Toshiba Pocket PC” in Chapter 2.
■ Turn off the front light.
■ Set the screen brightness to power saving mode. Also shorten the light turn-off
time. For more information, see “Customize Your Toshiba Pocket PC” in Chapter
2.
■ Use the Toshiba Pocket PC with an ambient temperature between 59°F and
77°F. This temperature range is the most effective for the built-in battery.
■ When you use the Toshiba Pocket PC in high or low temperature
environments, the operable time is shortened due to the decrease of the
built-in battery capacity.
Battery Life
The built-in battery has a limited life. Repeated charging/discharging of the built-in
battery gradually decreases operable time. When the operable time has been
extremely shortened, it is time to replace the built-in battery with a new one.
■ Do not leave the Toshiba Pocket PC in a place of high or low temperature. It may
shorten battery life.
