Precautions Battery considerations Follow these precautions when you charge your CLIÉ handheld. On charging • It takes approximately four hours to charge your CLIÉ handheld when the battery is empty. • If you charge your CLIÉ handheld every day, it takes only a few minutes to charge the battery. • You can operate your CLIÉ handheld while it is being charged. On battery life • With a fully-charged battery, you can use your CLIÉ handheld for approximately 10 days, 30 minutes each day if you do not use the audio playback function. • If you set the HOLD switch away from the protect position and turn on the backlight to the maximum level, you can play music continuously for about 2 hours. • If you set the HOLD switch to the protect position, you can play music continuously for about 7 hours. • Battery life varies depending on the conditions and environment where you use your CLIÉ handheld. • If the battery in your CLIÉ handheld is fully discharged, all data stored on the SDRAM (memory) is lost. In such a case, performing a HotSync® operation once the battery is recharged can restore information saved on your computer (from the last HotSync operation) to your CLIÉ handheld. For details, see "Backing up data to your computer through a HotSync® operation" on page 189. Tips on conserving the battery • Turn off the backlight under good lighting conditions. For turning off the backlight, see "Adjusting the screen" on page 29. • Change the automatic shut-off time setting so that your CLIÉ handheld will automatically turn off after a short period of inactivity. For details, see "Setting the automatic shut-off time" on page 170. • If you play audio files with the Audio Player, the battery may run out more quickly.
