Power-Saving Tips
Follow these suggestions to maximize the battery’s operating time, particularly
when you are relying solely on the battery power for extended time periods.
Suspend frequently.
By default, the screen backlight will automatically turn off and the Pocket
PC will also turn off when it has been idle for a period of time. You can
shorten the length of the idle time using
Settings System Power
Advanced
to set up.
Press the power button to turn off your Pocket PC when it is not in use, even
for a short time.
Use the backlight only when necessary.
Minimize the amount of time the backlight stays on when the Pocket PC is
idle. You can shorten the length of the idle time using
Settings
System Backlight
to set up. Also, a brighter backlight uses more power than
a dim setting.
Turn off functions not needed or adjust settings.
Lower the volume.
Do not enable sounds or light flashing except for the most necessary
notifications. (Tap
Settings Personal Sounds & Notifications
to
set up.)
Avoid power-consuming situations such as:
When using a modem or other peripheral
When playing sound or music
When recording.
When using or monitoring wireless signals
When working in cold temperatures, keep the unit as warm as possible. If
feasible, keep the unit inside your coat or in a vehicle when not in use.
