Monitoring battery charge level
You can display the battery charge level under
Start - Settings - System - Power
.
If the battery charge level is very low, you will be warned with a dialog window during operation.
Then immediately connect your Pocket PC to an electrical outlet.
If you do not immediately connect your Pocket PC to the mains power, the Pocket PC will
automatically switch itself off. The data in the RAM memory remains intact for several hours.
However, if the Pocket PC is still not connected to the mains power during this period, all data that is
only in RAM (such as documents, additionally installed programs, personal settings) will be lost. In
other words, your Pocket PC is reset to the delivery state.
