If your HP iPAQ travels wherever you go, you should optimize the battery life of your pocket PC. In addition to fully charging your iPAQ before initially setting it up, you can also purchase an extended battery or a secondary battery to prolong the battery life. If you don't want to buy any more accessories, here are a few ways to preserve your battery's life.
Instructions
1. Read the HP user guide for your pocket PC and familiarize yourself with iPAQ battery care.
2. Determine your usage pattern so that you can adjust the "Standby" setting on your pocket PC. If you plan to actively employ the iPAQ for long periods, you need a shorter standby. If you often leave your iPAQ in the off position without recharging, you will extend the battery 's life with a prolonged standby period.
3. Adjust the "Standby" setting. Tap "Start" on the display, choose the "System" tab, then the "Power" icon and tap on the "Standby" tab.
4. Use your stylus to drag the pointer to your desired standby period.
5. Adjust the "Backlight" settings on your HP iPAQ. Decreasing the brightness of the backlight can conserve battery life.
6. Tap on "Settings" from the "Start" menu. Choose the "System" tab, and then tap on "Backlight."
7. Change the brightness, battery power and eternal power settings.
