The many features of your Aero 1500 Series can consume quite a lot of
energy. Some features, such as the screen backlight and CompactFlash
cards, use more power than others. When running your system on battery
power, turn off or refrain from using those features that use a lot of energy
unless necessary.
Backlight
If you use the backlight, program the device to turn off the backlight
whenever the system is idle for a short time. To learn how to set the
backlight timer, see "
Adjusting the Backlight
" in Chapter 2.
After it has been turned off by the timer, the backlight will turn on again
the next time you tap the screen with your stylus or press a button.
Display Contrast
For optimum battery performance set the Aero 1500's display contrast to
the higher contrast (4-gray scale) setting.
To learn how to set the display contrast in the QUtilities, see "
Contrast
"
in Chapter 4.
