1.3 Battery
Your Pocket PC Phone contains a rechargeable Li-ion polymer battery. Battery life depends

Battery life estimates:
n Talk-time: 3 - 5 hrs.
n PDA: 11 hrs (approximate.).
n Standby: 190 hrs (approximate.).
n Data retention time: 72 hrs.
The above are based on using one function at a time. Battery life
may vary with switching between functions.

external contacts, heat above 60℃ (140℉), or dispose of in re or water. Replace only

by local regulations.
Data retention
It is vital to keep your battery charged. This is because your Pocket PC Phone does not

device runs out of power. An additional battery, the
internal backup battery, is designed to keep your data
safe when you remove the main battery. It will keep the
data safe for 30 minutes.

power remains at least at 50% OR ABOVE before you
remove the main battery by tapping the Start menu >
