How to Prolong Battery Life
■ Use the Toshiba Pocket PC e800 with the AC adapter.
Under the following conditions where the power consumption will be
high, please use the AC adapter when:
■ Operating while connected to your computer.
■ Operating with a storage card or with any other optional equipment.
■ In addition,
■ Select the short power-off time in the setting menu to shorten the
time the unit will remain on if not used (see “ Customize Your
Toshiba Pocket PC ” on page 2-33).
■ Turn off the screen light.
■ Set the screen brightness to power saving mode and shortening the
light turn-off time (see “ Customize Your Toshiba Pocket PC ” on page
2-33).
■ Use your unit with an ambient temperature between 59°F and 77°F
(15°C and 25°C). This temperature range is the most effective for
the battery.
■ When you use the Toshiba Pocket PC e800 in high or low
temperature environments, the operable time is shortened due to
the decrease of the battery capacity.
■ You can save power if the wireless communication module is off.
Battery Life
The removable battery has a limited life. Repeated charging/discharging of
the battery gradually decreases operable time. When the operable time has
been diminished, it is time to replace the removable battery with a new one.
■ Do not leave the Toshiba Pocket PC e800 in a place of high or low
temperature. It may shorten battery life.
Battery Charge Level and Stored Data Protection
If the battery charge level becomes extremely low, or the battery becomes
completely discharged, the memory data stored in the Toshiba Pocket PC
e800 could be lost.
If you have not used the Toshiba Pocket PC e800 for several days, its
battery charge level reading may be inaccurate. Fully recharge the battery
before using.
