CHAPTER 1

Setting Up Your Handheld and Your Computer

What you should know about your handheld’s battery

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, recharge your handheld.

Also recharge your handheld if it doesn’t turn on when you press the power button.

The memory on your handheld is designed to store your information even if the battery

becomes drained to the point that you cannot turn on your handheld. When you recharge your
handheld, all of your existing information, both in program memory and on the internal drive,
should appear.

• Conserve battery life by doing any of the following:

Adjust the screen brightness
Reduce the Auto-off setting
Prevent your handheld from turning on by accident
• Stop music or video playback when not in use
Respond to or cancel alerts promptly
Set the Bluetooth® functionality to off when not in use
Minimize use of the expansion slot
