Optimising energy management
General information on energy management
The battery operating time is considerably dependent on the applications used. Please consider that
a particularly large amount of energy is required to play sound files or make sound recordings.
Therefore, if you want to work for up to 12 hours without a power connection, limit the use of energyintensive applications.
Data exchange with a PC or notebook also consumes additional battery power. Therefore, always
connect your Pocket PC to an electrical outlet during data exchange if possible.
