your organizer contains a lithium-ion battery that is recharged each time you place the organizer in the cradle. just place your organizer in the cradle for approximately four hours for an initial charge before you use it. then place it in the cradle for minutes each day to recharge the battery to full capacity. a full charge will last up to two weeks with normal use. when you charge the battery, the battery icon on your organizer changes to a battery charging icon.

   

    as the battery gets low, the battery icon indicates a low charge. before the battery drains completely, perform a hotsync operation and then recharge the battery as soon as possible. if your organizer shuts down before recharging, you still have about a week to recharge the battery before you lose the data on your organizer.

    viewing data while in the cradle

    you can set a preference so that you can continue to view data while your organizer is in the cradle and while the battery is being recharged. see "general preferences" in chapter 7 for more information.

    turn your organizer off to fully recharge the battery.
