Power

When you are working with your iPAQ H3000 and using battery power, you can monitor the charge held in the battery by using the Power window. To conserve battery power, your iPAQ H3000 automatically powers off whenever it is idle for a continuous period of time. If you are running on battery power, you can conserve charge if you shorten the idle time before your iPAQ H3000 automatically powers off.

To display the Power control panel:

Tap , Settings, System, then Power.

NOTE: If the battery is low on charge, the battery icon appears on the command bar on the Today screen. Tap the battery icon to display the Power control panel.

NOTE: If the battery gets very low, your iPAQ H3000 displays a warning message. If this occurs, save any unsaved data you are working on, perform a synchronization with your com- puter, then turn off your iPAQ H3000. Don’t try to restart your iPAQ H3000 until you have connected to external power. If your iPAQ H3000 shuts down, you still have about 24 hours to recharge the battery before you lose the data on your iPAQ H3000.

The Power control panel only shows the battery charge level if you are using the battery. If you have connected the AC adapter, the window shows the recharging status.
