Adjust the Standby Setting

You can adjust the portion of the battery devoted to the “standby period.” Standby is your battery reserve that is used to protect the data and programs stored in RAM.

You can select a lower standby period if you use the Pocket PC for extended periods of time. A lower standby period increases the usable battery operating time.
