When the main battery is low, you will see a low battery
icon (see “Status Icons” on page 44) in the navigation
bar and a callout that tells you to recharge the battery as
soon as possible. Your device uses both a detachable
main battery pack and an embedded backup battery
cell. When the main battery pack is removed or is
completely drained out, your device will shutdown. The
backup battery cell will then have 30 minutes to retain
data after which you risk losing all data on the internal
memory of your device.
Tips on how to make battery charge last longer
To make your battery charge last as long as possible,
observe the guidelines listed below.
! Use external power whenever possible.
Use the AC adapter to plug your device into external
power whenever possible, especially when:
- Establishing a remote connection
- Using the backlight
- Watching/listening to audio and video files
- Connecting to a computer and/or server
! Shorten auto suspend time.
While on battery power, your device automatically
suspends operation if you haven’t touched the hardware
buttons or used the stylus for a specified period of time.
Maximize battery life by shortening this time.
