CHAPTER 1 Setting Up Your Handheld and Your Computer

What you should know about your handheld’s battery

While your handheld is charging, take a minute to learn about the battery:

•If you see an alert on the screen warning you that the battery is low, recharge your handheld. Also recharge your handheld if it doesn’t turn on when you press the power button.

NOTE The memory on your handheld is designed to store your information even if the battery becomes drained to the point that you cannot turn on your handheld. When you recharge your handheld, all of your existing information, both in program memory and on the internal drive, should appear.

•Conserve battery life by doing any of the following:

•Adjust the screen brightness

•Reduce the Auto-off setting

•Prevent your handheld from turning on by accident

•Stop music or video playback when not in use

•Respond to or cancel alerts promptly

•Set the Bluetooth® functionality to off when not in use

•Minimize use of the expansion slot
