Maximizing battery
life
Battery life depends on how you use your
Centro. You can maximize the life of your
battery by following a few easy guidelines:
IMPORTANT You must use the battery
that came with your Centro or a
Palm-approved replacement. For info on
replacement batteries, see Replacing the
battery.
TIP If the battery is fully drained, it may take a
few moments for the indicator light to turn on
when you begin charging.
TIP If the indicator light does not turn on when
you connect your Centro to the AC charger,
double-check the cable connection and the
electrical outlet to which it is connected.
A red lightning bolt indicates that the
battery is connected to an electrical
outlet and is being charged.
A green lightning bolt indicates that
the battery is connected to an
electrical outlet and is fully charged.
A partial battery without a lightning
bolt indicates that the battery is not
connected to an electrical outlet and
it has some power.
An almost empty battery that is red
at the bottom indicates that you
need to charge the battery
immediately.
