|
|

|

|
Do not connect the HotSync |
|
cable to your handheld until |

Setting Up Your Handheld and Your Computer |

While your handheld is charging, take a minute to learn about the battery:
•If you see an alert on the screen warning you that the battery is low, synchronize to back up your information; then recharge your handheld. This helps prevent accidental loss of information.
•If the battery gets so low that your handheld doesn’t operate, it will store your information for about a week. In this case, there is enough power to store your information, but not to turn on your handheld. If your handheld doesn’t turn on when you press the power button, recharge it immediately.
•Conserve battery life by doing any of the following:
•Adjusting the screen brightness
•Reducing the Auto-off setting
•Preventing your handheld from turning on by accident
•Minimizing use of the expansion slot
[ ! ] IMPORTANT If your battery drains and you don’t recharge it for an extended period of time, you can lose all the information on your handheld. If this happens, recharge your handheld, and then synchronize it with your computer. All of the applications and information from your last synchronization are transferred to your handheld.
