Optimizing Battery Life
Under normal conditions, the device offers many hours of use from a single charge. To extend battery life as much as possible,
especially when on the road, observe these tips:
• Use external power whenever possible, especially when:
• using the backlight
• connecting to a host computer
• using accessories.
• Set the device to turn off when idle. While on battery power, the device automatically turns off, or suspends operation, if
not used for three minutes. Maximize battery life by shortening this time.
• By default, the device produces sounds in response to a number of events, such as warnings, appointments, and key presses.
To optimize battery life, turn off unnecessary sounds. See Sounds & Notifications on page 2-24.
When batteries are low, a battery icon appears in the status bar. See Status Icons on page 1-4.
