4. Insert the AC adapter plug into the DC adapter plug.
Adjust the standby setting
You can preserve battery time by adjusting the standby setting.
During standby, the unit turns off so very little power is being
consumed. This helps to preserve programs and data stored in
the RAM.
It is recommended that you select a lower standby period if you
use the Pocket PC for extended periods of time. A lower standby
period increases the usable battery time.
On the other hand, it is recommended that you select a higher
standby period if you leave your Pocket PC off for extended
periods of time without re-charging it. A higher standby period
decreases the usable battery time and allocates it for standby
usage.
For more information on using the Standby Setting, tap Help
from the Start menu.
