It is important to know what your current device mode is, in order to know when the next charging should occur. Suspend Mode In Suspend mode or "power off" state the radios remain active. Suspend mode turns off the display and backlight but continues to monitor all notifications as well as the cellular phone network (if it is available). While in Suspend mode, you will receive all cellular phone calls, and the unit will emit a sound and the display will turn on to show you your important notifications and incoming phone calls. To put the HP iPAQ in Suspend mode, press the power button or the device will enter Suspend mode after 3 minutes of inactivity unless you have modified this setting. Standby Mode Standby mode is initialized by your HP iPAQ. When the device is in Standby mode, you will not be able to turn on your display or make cellular phone calls. Standby mode is only initialized to protect your data from being lost, when battery charge is below optimal levels. This mode is engaged when the battery life is only expected to last the amount of time set in the power settings. The standby default time is set to 72 hours before the battery is depleted. Standby mode significantly reduces the drain on your main battery so that it gives you the largest opportunity to recharge the battery before it is completely depleted. Whenever your device is in standby mode, you should recharge it as soon as possible. To adjust your HP iPAQ stand by mode setting, from the Today screen tap Settings > Power > Standby tab and use your stylus to slide the onscreen lever to select the standby period. 7
