transmitting the same message more than once. See
page 75 for information on composing a message to
multiple recipients.
Remember that battery consumption is reflected in the amount of
use. A heavy email user who sends and receives numerous
messages every day will consume battery power more quickly than
an infrequent user.
What should I do when I see the message “Battery too low for
handheld usage”?
•
If using a rechargeable NiMH battery, place the handheld in the
charging cradle and allow the cradle to perform a complete
charging cycle.
• If using an AA alkaline cell, replace it with a fresh battery. See
page 22 for information on inserting the battery.
• If your NiMH needs to be recharged but it is a not convenient
time to recharge, temporarily replace the NiHM with an AA
alkaline cell.
What should I do if my handheld does not turn on?
•
Make sure the AA battery is properly installed or try inserting a
new battery. You may have to leave the handheld turned off for
6-8 hours to charge the internal battery. See page 22 for more
information on inserting the battery.
• If the handheld will not turn on after replacing the battery, reset
the handheld. See page 176 for more information on resetting
the handheld.
