How to Prolong Battery Life
Use the Toshiba Pocket PC e800/e805 with the AC adapter.
Under the following conditions where the power consumption will be
high, please use the AC adapter when:
Operating while connected to your computer.
Operating with a storage card or with any other optional equip-
ment.
In addition,
Select the short power-off time in the setting menu to shorten the
time the unit will remain on if not used (see "Customize Your
Toshiba Pocket PC" on page 52).
Turn off the screen light.
Set the screen brightness to power saving mode and shortening
the light turn-off time (see "Customize Your Toshiba Pocket PC"
on page 52).
Use your unit with an ambient temperature between 59°F and
77°F (15°C and 25°C). This temperature range is the most effec-
tive for the battery.
When you use the Toshiba Pocket PC e800/e805 in high or low
temperature environments, the operable time is shortened due to
the decrease of the battery capacity.
You can save power if the wireless communication module is off.
Battery Life
The removable battery has a limited life. Repeated charging/discharging
of the battery gradually decreases operable time. When the operable time
has been diminished, it is time to replace the removable battery with a
new one.
Do not leave the Toshiba Pocket PC e800/e805 in a place of high or
low temperature. It may shorten battery life.
If you have not used the Toshiba Pocket PC e800/e805
for several days, its battery charge level reading may be
inaccurate. Fully recharge the battery before using.
