How to Prolong Battery Life
■ Use the Toshiba Pocket PC e740 with the AC adapter.
When you use the Toshiba Pocket PC under the following conditions,
the power consumption will be higher than normal. Please use the AC
adapter when:
■ The Toshiba Pocket PC e740 is operated while connected to your
computer.
■ The Toshiba Pocket PC e740 is operated with a storage card or
with any other optional equipment.
■ Select the short power-off time in the setting menu. This will shorten
the time the unit will remain on if not used. For more information, see
“Customize Your Toshiba Pocket PC” in this chapter.
■ Turn off the front light.
■ Set the screen brightness to power save mode (Med Bright or low
Bright). Also shorten the light turn-off time. For more information, see
“Customize Your Toshiba Pocket PC” in this chapter.
■ Use the Toshiba Pocket PC with an ambient temperature between
15°C (59°F) and 25°C (77°F). This temperature range is the most
effective for the battery.
■ When you use the Toshiba Pocket PC e740 in high or low
temperature environments, the operable time is shortened due to
the decrease of the battery capacity.
■ Turn off the Wireless Communication Switch when you don’t use
Bluetooth or Wireless LAN (Bluetooth and Wireless LAN models
only).
Battery Life
The battery has a limited life. Repeated charging/discharging of the
battery gradually decreases operable time.
■ Do not leave the Toshiba Pocket PC in a place of high or low
temperature. It may shorten battery life.
If you have not used the Toshiba Pocket PC for several days, its battery
charge level reading may be inaccurate. Fully recharge the battery before
using.
