Question
Answer
How can I improve the standby time and talk time on my
HP iPAQ?
Follow these guidelines to improve the standby and talk times
on your HP iPAQ.
●
The HP iPAQ might consume more power when the
signal reception is poor. Try to move to an open location
when you use your HP iPAQ.
●
If you are using the Push e-mail service, a service that
continuously checks for e-mail messages with the Web
server, disable it as it consumes excessive battery and
reduces the standby time.
●
If you are using a new battery, it might take several
charging and discharging cycles to reach its optimal
capacity. Use the HP iPAQ after charging the battery
completely. The solid green LED display indicates full
battery charge.
●
Do not overcharge or completely discharge the battery,
as it might damage the battery and reduce the standby
and talk time.
●
If your battery is very old, replace it with a new one.
●
Avoid using the HP iPAQ in very high-temperature or
low-temperature environments. The efficiency of a
battery can be affected by extreme temperature
conditions. To know more about the operating
temperatures on your HP iPAQ, see

environment on page 110

●
Is the power cord of the charger damaged?
●
Is the battery charging slowly? If yes, set the HP iPAQ to

. To know more, see
Change the power
management settings on page 23
.
●
Is the battery very old? If yes, replace with a new battery
and try again.
●
Check the LED indicator on your HP iPAQ. If the battery
is low and the HP iPAQ is being charged the LED display
is solid red.
●
Check the LED indicator on your HP iPAQ. If the battery
temperature is too high or too low, the LED displays solid
orange to indicate a device error.
