About the AAA batteries
Please note the following considerations when replacing the batteries 
in your handheld:
nUnder normal conditions, depending on your usage pattern, the 
AAA batteries of your handheld should provide weeks of use. You 
can conserve battery life by minimizing the use of the backlight 
feature, and changing the Auto-off setting that automatically turns 
the handheld off after a period of inactivity. See “General 
preferences” in Chapter 8 for more...

Automatic recharging of the transmitter
The transmitter used by your handheld for web clipping and wireless 
Internet messaging contains a rechargeable storage battery. It is a 
NiCad (nickel-cadmium) battery.
When you first set up your handheld, the initial charging of the 
transmitter takes about 70 minutes. Like any storage battery, the 
transmitter must be recharged. How often recharging must happen 
depends on the frequency with which you use web clipping and 
wireless Internet...

or is under way. Displays the estimated time that recharging 
will end.
Recharging takes less time than the initial charging of the transmitter.

the antenna:
nDo not lift or drag your handheld by the raised antenna.
nDo not bend the antenna.
nWhen you raise the antenna, you feel three clicks at its three 
positions: 90
°, 135°, and 180°. We recommend that you transmit or 
receive data only...
