tap Tools / Start Battery Logging. This utility creates a file that
records the battery voltage at intervals. Connect the AC charger to
the unit and charge the unit fully (~4.5 hours). Disconnect external
power and allow the program to run until the battery is exhausted
and the unit shuts down. Reapply AC power and soft reset the unit
to close the power logging utility. Copy the file to the PC, and then
open it in any text editor. Check the time of the first and last entry
in the file to determine how many hours elapsed before the unit
turned off to preserve memory. A healthy battery should run about
30 hours if the backlight is off.
It is critically important that my battery doesn’t fail during a
job. Do you have any suggestions?
Consider carrying a well-charged spare battery in the field. The unit
is designed so that battery replacement can be easily done.
My unit won’t communicate with my PC over an ActiveSync
USB connection.
Make sure that there aren’t any open applications running on the
unit, which may be interfering with communication. One way to
immediately close all open applications is to perform a soft reset
(See the section on Power Button Features).
Choose Start / ActiveSync / Tools / Options / Options, and make
sure that Enable PC sync using this connection is checked and
that USB Default is selected from the dropdown list.
Try disabling any personal firewall software, which is running on
your PC. Firewalls may block TCP/IP from opening ports, which
are required by ActiveSync.
How can I see file extensions or file attributes?
The File Explorer that is included in the Windows Mobile 2003
operating system does not have as many features as the Windows
Explorer program on a desktop PC. There is no support for viewing
file extensions or attributes from within File Explorer.
