Palm Zire 72 manual Handheld, Want to see how much battery life I have left, My battery is drained

CHAPTER 29 Common Questions

Handheld

[ ! ] IMPORTANT Do not open your handheld; there are no serviceable parts inside. Opening your handheld voids the warranty and is not recommended under any circumstances.

I want to see how much battery life I have left.

A battery gauge appears at the top of the Home screen. Check the gauge periodically to see if your handheld needs to be recharged. If the battery becomes low, a message appears on the screen prompting you to recharge the battery.

I’m not sure when I need to recharge my handheld.

We recommend that you recharge your handheld for at least half an hour every day. Ideally, connect your handheld to a power source every night and recharge it while you sleep.

My battery is drained.

If the battery is drained to the point that you cannot turn on your handheld, your information is safely stored for approximately five days. In this case, there is enough residual energy in the battery to store the information but not enough to turn on your handheld. If your handheld does not turn on when you press the power button, you should recharge it immediately, for a few hours.

My battery drains too quickly.

You can conserve battery life by doing any of the following:

•Reduce the brightness of the display.

•Reduce the Auto-off after interval.

•Use Keylock Preferences to prevent your handheld from being turned on accidentally.

•Minimize use of the expansion card slot.
