HP iPAQ hx2000 Series Pocket PC PDF User Manual Guide

Charging with the HP Desktop Cradle and USB Cable
An alternative method of charging the Pocket PC is to charge the device by using a USB cable. However, because this charging method drains the host battery (i.e., laptop), you must enable USB charging on the Pocket PC before you can charge the device. To charge your Pocket PC using the HP Desktop Cradle and USB Cable:
1. Turn on USB charging by tapping Start > Settings > System tab > Power on the Pocket PC.
2. Select the USB Charging tab, and then check Use USB Charging.

3. Tap OK once USB Charging has been enabled.
4. Connect one end of the USB sync cable to the bottom of the Pocket PC.
5. Connect the USB cable to an available USB Port on your USB powered device, such as a laptop.
Note: The Pocket PC charges slower when using an USB cable than with an AC Adapter.

Manually Checking the Battery Charge Level To manually monitor the battery power:
1. Tap Start > Settings > System tab.
2. Tap Power > Battery tab.
If the battery charge level is low, connect to AC power using the HP Desktop Cradle and the AC Adapter, or change the battery.

Power Saving Tips
Here are some power saving tips to help save energy in your Pocket PC battery. Set the backlight to go off quickly (10 or 30 seconds) after
you stop using your Pocket PC, or implement Power Save mode to turn off the backlight completely. For more information, refer to “Changing the Backlight Settings” later in this chapter.
Note: Adjusting the Backlight Brightness Level slider to the lowest level that is still useable for the given lighting conditions can be the single most important thing you can do to preserve battery life.
? Leave your Pocket PC connected to AC power at all times when you’re not using it. For more information, refer to “Charging with the AC Adapter” earlier in this chapter.

User’s Guide Managing the Battery
? Leave your Pocket PC set to turn off after not being used for a short time. Tap the Battery icon > Advanced tab. On battery power, set the device to power off in the shortest acceptable time.
? Turn off all wireless activities when not in use. Refer to “Powering Wi-Fi On or Off” in Chapter 8 and “Powering Bluetooth On or Off” in Chapter 9.
? Turn off the Receive all incoming beams setting and receive infrared beams manually instead. Refer to Chapter 2, “Synchronizing with Your Computer.”
? You can program an Application Button to turn off the screen when an MP3 is playing, thus saving battery power used to run the screen. Tap Start > Programs > Windows Media > Tools > Settings > Buttons. From the Select Function drop-down list, tap Screen Toggle. Press a program button, then tap OK. Then, when listening to music, press that program button to turn off the screen display.
? Power off your Pocket PC when it is being charged to allow it to charge at a faster rate.
? To ensure you always have battery power available, invest in an extra Standard Battery or Extended Battery. These batteries can be charged in the optional battery charger.

Changing the Backlight Settings
Your new Pocket PC comes with an automatic brightness control feature that saves up to 25% battery life. The Backlight icon displays on the Today screen for easy accessibility. In addition to using the TodayPanel Lite shortcut, you can access the Backlight application by tapping Start > Settings > System tab > Backlight.
