Battery considerations
Follow these precautions when you charge your CLIE handheld.
On charging
• It takes about four hours to charge your CLIE handheld when the battery
is empty.
• When you charge your CLIE handheld every day, it takes only a few
minutes to charge the battery.
• You can view data on your CLIE handheld while it is being charged.
On the battery life
• With a fully-charged battery, you can use your CLIE handheld for about
fifteen days, 30 minutes each day.
• Battery life varies depending on the conditions and environment where
you use your CLIE handheld.
• If the battery in your CLIE handheld is fully discharged, all data stored
on the DRAM (memory) is lost. Performing another HotSync operation
once the battery is recharged can restore information saved from the last
HotSync operation. For details, see “Backing up your CLIE handheld
data using a HotSync operation” on page 196.
Tips on conserving the battery
• Turn off the frontlight under good lighting conditions. For turning off the
frontlight, see “Changing the frontlight level” on page 25.
• Change the automatic shut-off time setting so that your CLIE handheld
will automatically turn off after a short period of inactivity. For details,
see “Setting the automatic shut-off time” on page 178.
