Power-Saving Tips
Follow these suggestions to maximize the battery’s operating time, particularly 
when you are relying solely on the battery power for extended time periods. 
Suspend frequently. 
By default, the screen backlight will automatically turn off and the Pocket 
PC will also turn off when it has been idle for a period of time. You can 
shorten the length of the idle time using 
Settings System
tab
Power Advanced
tab to set up.
Press the power button to turn off your Pocket PC when it is not in use, even 
for a short time. You can also manually turn off the backlight by pressing 
and holding the power button. 
Turn off functions not needed or adjust settings.
 Lower the volume. 
 Do not enable sounds or light flashing except for the most necessary 
notifications. (Tap
Settings Personal
tab
Sounds &
Notifications
icon to set up.)
Remove the SD/MMC or CompactFlash card, if installed, from the slot
if you are not using it.
Avoid power-consuming situations such as:
When connecting your Pocket PC to your desktop computer (Your
Pocket PC will not auto-suspend while it is connected.)
 When using a modem or other peripheral 
 When monitoring infrared transfers (Although you can set your Pocket 
PC to constantly monitor the IR port for files sent from other devices, 
doing so will quickly drain your battery.) 
 When playing sound or music 
 When recording.
