ANAGEMENT
Battery-powered units can utilize a rechargeable Nickel Metal Hydride (NiMH) battery pack that has an
average operating time of six hours on a full charge with power management.
As with all battery-powered devices, the operating time is completely dependent on the environment,
device usage and the number and type of power-drawing peripherals attached. The battery discharge rate in
a full “Power Off” state is only slightly higher to the self-discharge rate of the battery itself.
Note: Allowing the batteries to remain in a low or very low condition will cause the unit to enter Suspend mode.
In either case, you should save your work and recharge the unit as soon as possible
To lengthen the time between charges, you can perform the following actions:
•
Use external power for PC Card operations whenever possible— some PC Cards as well as
extended communication via the serial port, may require large amounts of power to operate, and
can quickly drain the batteries.
•
Limit the use of backlight—minimize backlight use when you are operating on battery power. You
can adjust the backlight timeout level through the Display Settings in the Control Panel or on some
units by using the keypad.
•
Shorten Auto-suspend time—the JETT is automatically set to suspend operation to conserve
battery power when you have not used the keyboard or the stylus after three minutes. You can
increase the Auto-suspend time by changing the Power settings in the Control Panel.
