CHAPTER 20 Palm® Z22 Handheld Common Questions Handheld [ ! ] IMPORTANT Do not open your handheld; there are no serviceable parts inside. Opening your handheld voids the warranty and is not recommended under any circumstances. I want to see how much battery life I have left. A battery icon appears at the top of the Home screen. Check the icon periodically to see if your handheld needs to be recharged. If the battery becomes low, a message appears on the screen prompting you to recharge the battery. I'm not sure when I need to recharge my handheld. We recommend that you recharge your handheld for at least half an hour every day. Ideally, connect your handheld to a power source every night and recharge it while you sleep. My battery is drained. The memory on your handheld is designed to store your information even if the battery becomes drained completely. When you recharge your handheld, all of your existing information should appear. My battery drains too quickly. You can conserve battery life by doing any of the following: • Adjust the screen brightness. • Reduce the Auto-off setting. • Use Keylock to prevent your handheld from turning on by accident. • Respond to or cancel alerts promptly. 289
