power is very low, you should replace the backup batteries as soon as possible.

Power Saving tab

The Power Saving tab enables you to set certain options that directly affect the life of the main battery:

¥Auto-SuspendÑTriggers HP Jornada to auto-suspend operation after a period of continuous idle time. You can select to auto-suspend while operating on either battery or AC power, and you can specify the amount of idle time in minutes.

¥DimmingÑDims the display after a period of continu- ous idle time. You can specify the amount of time in seconds.

Conserving battery power

Under normal circumstances, the HP Jornada Standard Battery should provide up to 10 hours of continuous use; however, certain tasks require more battery power and deplete the main battery faster. Follow the tips below to maximize battery life.

¥Reduce the brightness of the display. Compensate for low light by increasing the contrast. (See the Using the HP settings application section in this chapter.)

¥Shorten auto-suspend time. Use the Power control panel to set the length of continuous idle time before your HP Jornada auto-suspends. Press the On/Off key or click Suspend on the Start menu to turn off your HP Jornada when it is not in use, even for a short time.

¥Always use AC power when connecting your HPÊJornada to your desktop PC. Note that your HPÊJornada will not auto-suspend while it is connected, so you must be careful not to allow the batteries to run down.
