PDA Battery Life

Getting the most out of your PDA requires conditioning your pda battery. Here are some tips that will help you make the most of your PDA battery.

Tips to extend your PDA battery life:

• Always carry a pda battery replacement.
• Use the AC adapter or pda cradle when you are at your desk - gives your pda battery a break plus it recharges your pda battery.
• Power your pda battery down when not in use. On most PDA's, you can adjust this setting by going to "On battery power".
• Bright screens consumes a lot of battery power. If you don't need it so bright then dim it down.
• You can adjust this by going to Start>Settings>System>Backlight>Brightness. Adjust the bar named "On Battery".
• Do you really need that backlight on all the time? As with powering it down, you have the option to have the backlighting turn off automatically after a certain period of time (if you don't use it). You can have a lapse time of 10 seconds up to 5 minutes. Go to Start>Settings>System>Backlight>Battery Power. Check the box labeled "Turn off backlight..." and select your time.
• Peripherals they are cool but they take battery power from your PDA. My suggestion use them only if you need them.
