Prolonging battery life
■ Use your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 with the AC adapter during the fol-
lowing high power consumption conditions:
■ Operating while connected to your PC.
■ Operating with a storage card or with any other optional equip-
ment.
■ In addition,
■ Select the short power-off time in the setting menu to shorten the
amount the time the unit remains on if it is not used (see "Setting
power management options" on page 67).
■ Turn off the screen light.
■ Set the screen brightness to power saving mode and shortening
the light turn-off time (see "Adjusting Screen light levels" on page
65).
■ Use your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 with an ambient temperature
between 15°C and 25°C (59°F and 77°F). This temperature
range is the most effective for the battery.
■ When you use your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 in high or low tem-
perature 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.
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 your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 in a place of high or low
temperatures. It may shorten battery life.
Protecting data from low battery charge levels
If the battery charge level becomes extremely low or the battery becomes
completely discharged, the memory data stored in your Toshiba Pocket
PC e830 could be lost.
When the low battery status icon or alarm message appears, immediately
connect the AC adapter to your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 and charge the
battery.
If you have not used your Toshiba Pocket PC e830 for
several days, its battery charge level reading may be
inaccurate. Fully recharge the battery before using.
