Battery considerations
Follow these precautions when you charge your CLIE handheld.
On charging
• It takes about four hours to charge your CLIE handheld when the battery
is empty.
• When you charge your CLIE handheld every day, it takes only a few
minutes to charge the battery.
• You can view data or play audio files on your CLIE handheld while it is
being charged.
On the battery life
• With a fully-charged battery, you can use your CLIE handheld for about
fifteen days, 30 minutes each day, if you do not use the audio playback
function.
• If you set the HOLD switch to OFF and turn on the frontlight at the
maximum level, you can play music continuously for about 3 hours.
• If you set the HOLD switch to ON, you can play music continuously for
about 11 hours.
• Battery life varies depending on the conditions and environment where
you use your CLIE handheld.
Tips on conserving the battery
• Turn off the frontlight under good lighting conditions. For turning off the
frontlight, see “Changing the frontlight level” on page 25.
• Change the automatic shut-off time setting so that your CLIE handheld
will automatically turn off after a short period of inactivity. For details,
see “Setting the automatic shut-off time” on page 172.
• If you play music using Audio Player, the battery may run out quickly.
