Preserving Battery Time
Adjusting the Standby Setting
Adjusting the Standby setting can preserve battery time. During 
Standby, the unit turns off so very little power is being consumed. 
This helps to preserve programs and data stored in RAM.
■Lower Standby Period—Increases the useable battery time. 
If you use the iPAQ Pocket PC for extended periods of time, 
you can choose to select a lower Standby Period.
■Higher Standby Period—Decreases the useable battery 
time and allocates it for standby usage. If you leave your 
iPAQ Pocket PC off for extended periods of time without 
recharging it, you can choose to select a higher Standby 
Period.
For more information on using the Standby setting, tap 
Start>Settings > System tab > Power icon > Standby tab > 
Settings > Help.
