Extending Battery Life

You can extend the PA600 battery life by doing either of the following:

Minimize the use of backlight

Changing the Automatic Power Settings

The PA600 will enter idle mode when there is no task, or all tasks are waiting for input. In default setting, the PA600 automatically turns itself off if it remains idle for 3 minutes and when there is no external charging power connected. Pressing the power button returns the PA600 to the same point at the time of automatic shutdown.

To change the automatic power settings:

1.In the Power screen tap the Advanced tab.

2.Tap the automatic shut off time arrow to select from a list of time periods. The available time periods are 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5 minutes.

3.This function can also be activated when the PA600 is plugged into the power adapter or placed in its docking station by tapping the On external power check box and then tapping the arrow to select from a list of time periods. The available time periods are 1, 2, 5,10, 15 and 30 minutes.
