Managing Your
Pocket PC Phone
7.1 Managing Power
You must maintain a continuous power supply to your Pocket PC Phone to retain your data.
The operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using the Pocket PC Phone.
Some functions, such as using multimedia or operating a storage card, may consume the battery power
considerably.
You can monitor the battery power by tapping
→ Settings → System → Power.
When the battery is low, your Pocket PC Phone will pop up a warning message. You should save your
data and recharge the battery immediately upon a warning of low power; otherwise your Pocket PC
Phone will turn off automatically. You need to connect the Pocket PC Phone to external AC adapter
for charging before you can use it again. If the battery completely runs out of power, you will lose any
information, programs or settings that you added.
• Though your Pocket PC Phone can retain data for 72 hours after its battery runs completely
out of power, you must charge the battery of your Pocket PC Phone at your earliest
convenience.
• When you recharge the battery upon a warning of low power, you should charge for at least
30 minutes to one hour. If you unplug the AC adapter too soon, you may not have sufficient
battery power for your operation.
Power-Saving Tips
 Suspend frequently.
By default, the screen backlight will automatically turn off and the Pocket PC Phone will also turn
off when it has been idle for a period of time. You can shorten the length of the idle time using
→ Settings → System → Power → Advanced to set up.
 Turn off functions not needed or adjust settings.
• Lower the volume.
• Do not enable sounds or light flashing except for the most necessary notifications. (Tap →
Settings → Personal → Sounds & Notifications to set up.)
• Remove the miniSD card, if installed, from the slot if you are not using it.
 Avoid power-consuming situations such as:
• When connecting your Pocket PC Phone to your desktop computer (Your Pocket PC Phone
will not auto-suspend while it is connected.)
• When using a miniSD card
• When monitoring infrared transfers
• When playing sound or music, or recording
7.2 Managing Memory
Storage and Program Memory
User data can be stored in ROM or RAM, but files, settings and programs that
you add to your Pocket PC Phone are stored in RAM. The RAM on your Pocket
PC Phone is shared between storage memory and program memory.
 Storage memory is used to store the data you create and additional
programs you install.
 Program memory is used to run programs on your Pocket PC Phone.
Your Pocket PC Phone automatically manages the allocation between storage
and program memory. However, in some situations, such as when the memory is
running out, your Pocket PC Phone may not be able to automatically adjust the
allocation. (For information on solving memory problems, see Chapter 15.)
