Charging the battery
Maximizing battery life
Battery life depends on how you use your smartphone. You can maximize the life of your battery by following a few easy guidelines:
???Charge your smartphone whenever you???re at your desk, or charge it overnight. The
???Your smartphone???s wireless features (phone, email, messaging, and web) and media features (camera, media players, eBooks, and games) consume more power than its organizer features. If you spend a lot of time using the wireless and media features, keep an eye on the battery icon and charge when necessary.
???If you don???t plan to use the wireless features on your smartphone for a while, turn off your phone (see Turning your phone on and off) and let all calls be picked up by voicemail.
???As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage, your smartphone searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot move to an area of better coverage, temporarily turn off your phone. While your phone is off, you can continue to use your smartphone???s nonwireless features.
???Turn down the screen brightness (see Adjusting the brightness).
???Decrease the settings in Power Preferences and turn off Beam Receive (see Optimizing power settings).
???Turn off the Bluetooth?? feature if you???re not using it. See Connecting to a Bluetooth headset or car kit.
Did You Know?
Battery consumption varies based on personal usage. Consumption factors include signal strength, speakerphone usage, and screen brightness.
Tip
If the battery is fully drained, it may take a few moments for the indicator light to turn on when you begin charging.

???Look at the numbers on the Free Space
line and subtract the number on the left from the number on the right to calculate the space used. For example, on the device shown here, 22.4 ??? 17.5 = 4.9. This means that 4.9MB of space is occupied on this device.
2.If the space occupied on your previous device is 60MB or less, then go to step 3. If the space occupied is greater than 60MB, then do any of the following to reduce the storage space you???re using before you go to the next step:

Synchronizing using Wireless Sync
In addition to allowing you to send and receive email messages, the Wireless Sync application works with the Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Memos applications on your smartphone to directly access corporate groupware information on a Microsoft Exchange or Lotus Domino server. You can wirelessly synchronize business email, calendar info, and contact info on the server from your smartphone without using a desktop computer.
Wireless Sync interacts with your desktop software as follows:
???Microsoft Outlook: Info in Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Memos, and the Wireless Sync application on your smartphone does not sync directly with Outlook on your desktop. However, if the Exchange server synchronizes with Outlook on your desktop, any new or updated info you enter in these applications on your smartphone also appears in Outlook after the next server sync.
[ * ] NOTE The Memos application is called Notes in Outlook.
???Lotus Notes: Info in Calendar, Contacts, and the Wireless Sync application on your smartphone does not sync directly with Notes on your desktop. However, if the Domino server synchronizes with Notes on your desktop, any new or updated info you enter in these applications on your smartphone also appears in Notes after the next server sync.
[ * ] NOTE Depending on how your company has set up its Lotus Notes environment, info in the Tasks and Memos applications on your server may synchronize directly with Notes on your computer, or it may sync with the server.

Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync?? works with the VersaMail??, Calendar, and Contacts applications on your smartphone to directly access corporate groupware information on a Microsoft Exchange 2003 server. If you install VersaMail from the Palm Software Installation CD and your company uses Microsoft Exchange 2003 server, you may be able to wirelessly synchronize info in these applications on the server from your smartphone without using a desktop computer.
A Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account interacts with your desktop software as follows:
???Microsoft Outlook: Info in Calendar, Contacts, and VersaMail syncs with the server, it does not sync directly with Outlook on your desktop. However, if the server syncs with Outlook on your desktop, any info you enter in these applications on your smartphone also appears in Outlook after the next server sync.
