How to Prolong Battery Life
Use the Toshiba Pocket PC with the AC adapter.
When you use the Toshiba Pocket PC under the following conditions,
the power consumption will be large. Please use the AC adapter when:
The Toshiba Pocket PC is operated while connected to your com-
puter.
The Toshiba Pocket PC is operated with storage card or with any
other optional equipment.
Select the short power-off time in the setting menu. This will shorten
the time the unit will remain on if not used. For more information, see
“Customize Your Toshiba Pocket PC” in Chapter 2.
Turn off the front light.
Set the screen brightness to power saving mode. Also shorten the
light turn-off time. For more information, see “Customize Your Toshiba
Pocket PC” in Chapter 2.
Use the Toshiba Pocket PC with an ambient temperature between
59°F and 77°F. This temperature range is the most effective for the
built-in battery.
When you use the Toshiba Pocket PC in high or low temperature en-
vironments, the operable time is shortened due to the decrease of the
built-in battery capacity.
Battery Life
The built-in battery has a limited life. Repeated charging/discharging of the
built-in battery gradually decreases operable time. When the operable time
has been extremely shortened, it is time to replace the built-in battery with
a new one.
Do not leave the Toshiba Pocket PC in a place of high or low tempera-
ture. It may shorten battery life.

Battery Charge Level and Stored Data Protection
If the battery charge level becomes extremely low, or is completely dis-
charged, the memory data stored in the Toshiba Pocket PC will be de-
leted.
When the low battery status icon or the alarm message appears, immedi-
ately connect the AC adapter to the Toshiba Pocket PC and charge the
built-in battery.
The built-in battery gradually discharges even if the device is not be-
ing used. When the Toshiba Pocket PC is left for a long time, the built-
in battery of the Toshiba Pocket PC may completely discharge.
It is recommended to save the Toshiba Pocket PC’s memory data to
your computer or to a storage card.
The manufacturer is not responsible for data change or clearance due
to battery discharge. Please acknowledge that.
