Managing Power on the CN4
By default, the CN4 goes into a lower power mode or turns off after
two minutes of inactivity. Press the Power button to resume activity
at any time.
There are several ways you can manage power:
• You can change the amount of time the screen backlight stays on.
For help, see “Configuring the Backlight Settings” on page 23.
• You can choose a Power Management Profile to manage power
based on the way you use your CN4. Each profile turns off the
screen and the CN4 at preset times, and maintains data
connections differently. For help, see the next section.
• You can set the amount of time that the screen stays on, or the
amount of time the CN4 stays on after the screen turns off. For
help, see “Customizing Power Timeouts” on page 12.
Choosing a Power Management Profile
1 Tap Start > Settings > the System tab > Power Profiler.
Store the CN4 for more
than a day.
If you are storing the CN4 for a few days, like
over the weekend, install the charged battery or
attach the CN4 to a power source.
If you are storing the CN4 for longer, remove
and charge the battery, then store both the
battery and the CN4 in a cool location.
If the battery in storage is not used in several
months, you should recharge the battery to
keep it at its performance peak.
Store the battery outside
the CN4.
Store the batteries in a charger.
