Maintaining Your Organizer
Battery considerations
Please note the following considerations for the battery in your
organizer:
■
Under normal conditions, your organizer battery should remain
charged by placing it in the cradle for just a few minutes each day.
You can conserve battery life by minimizing the use of the
backlight feature, and changing the Auto-off setting that
automatically turns the organizer off after a period of inactivity.
See “General preferences” in Chapter 7 for more information.
■
If the battery becomes low in the course of normal use, an alert
appears on the organizer screen describing the low battery
condition. If this alert appears, perform a HotSync
®
operation to
back up your data; then leave your organizer in the cradle to
recharge the unit. This helps prevent accidental data loss.
■
If the battery drains to the point where your organizer does not
operate, it stores your data safely for about a week. In this case,
there is enough residual energy in the battery to store the data, but
not enough to turn on your organizer. If your organizer does not
turn on when you press the power button, you should recharge
the unit immediately.
■
If your battery drains and you have the unit in an uncharged state
for an extended period of time, you can lose all of the stored data.
■
There are no serviceable parts inside your organizer, so do not
attempt to open the unit. You never need to replace the battery,
even if the charge runs out.
■
If you ever dispose of your Palm V™ organizer, please dispose of
it without damaging the environment. Either return your
organizer to 3Com, or take it to your nearest environmental
recycling center.
