3 Managing Your Pocket PC This chapter tells you how to effectively manage power, memory, settings, data and programs of your Pocket PC. 3.1 Managing Power A fully charged battery should provide power for up to 8 hours of use. The operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using the Pocket PC. Some functions, such as using multimedia or operating a SD/MMC card, may consume the battery power considerably.
Power-Saving Tips Follow these suggestions to maximize the battery’s operating time, particularly when you are relying solely on the battery power for extended time periods. z Suspend frequently. By default, the screen backlight will automatically turn off and the Pocket PC will also turn off when it has been idle for a period of time. You can shorten the length of the idle time using Æ Settings Æ System Æ Power Æ Advanced to set up.
Your Pocket PC automatically manages the allocation between storage and program memory. However, in some situations, such as when the memory is running out, your Pocket PC may not be able to automatically adjust the allocation. (For information on solving memory problems, see section 7.4.) Additional Memory You can buy a SD/MMC storage card for backup, storage, archives or to transfer large files to other devices.
