Battery saving tips

You can adjust the settings on your HP iPAQ to fit your individual needs and to help your battery last
as long as possible between charges. Here are some recommendations to conserve battery life:
●
Connect to AC power – Leave your HP iPAQ connected to AC power at all possible times
when not using it. HP also offers a variety of accessories to keep your HP iPAQ charged when
you are out of the office for extended time periods. These include the mini-USB synchronization
cable and travel adapter.
Important: Always use original HP batteries and chargers to charge your HP iPAQ.
● Disable Sounds – Every time you are notified of an event, battery power is consumed. Tap
Start > Settings > Personal > Sounds & Notifications to turn off any unnecessary
notifications.
● Auto Turn Off the Backlight – Tap Start > Settings > System > Backlight. Specify a short
amount of wait before turning off the backlight. On the Battery Power tab, set Turn off
backlight if device is not used for to 10 seconds.
●
Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi – Always turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use. To turn
off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, tap Start > Settings > Connections > Wireless Manager, and then
tap the respective option to turn it off.
●
Reduce push e-mail synchronization frequency – Every time your HP iPAQ uses push
e-mail to send and receive e-mail, your HP iPAQ drains the battery. You should increase the
duration between synchronization cycles to reduce the number of times your HP iPAQ syncs
with the e-mail server. To change the duration, see
on page 60.
● Adjust ActiveSync settings – When ActiveSync receives updates, it uses your HP iPAQ's
cellular radio to connect to an Exchange Server, which consumes battery power.
To check the battery power, tap Start > Settings > System > Power or tap
the Today screen.
NOTE: In case of a battery drain out, you will lose any unsaved data on your HP iPAQ. Please
ensure that your HP iPAQ is adequately charged at all times.
