Battery life
Battery life depends on individual usage. When used as a phone, your Treo battery
provides up to 4 hours of talk time or up to 10 days of standby time on the 1900 MHz
band. Talk time is slightly lower when operating on the cellular 800 MHz band. When
used as an organizer only (no phone), the battery provides up to 4 weeks of normal
use.
Maximizing battery life
You can increase the life of your Treo battery by following a few easy guidelines.
Remember that battery life depends on how you use your Treo.
• Charge your Treo whenever you’re at your desk. The Li-Ion battery in your Treo has
a much longer useful life when it is topped off frequently, versus charging it after it
is fully drained.
• The wireless features (phone, email, messaging, and web) of your Treo generally
consume more power than its organizer features. However, if you spend a lot of
time using the camera, games, media players, eBooks, or other Palm OS
applications, keep an eye on the battery level and charge when necessary.
• If you don’t plan to use the wireless features on your Treo for a while, you may want
to turn off Wireless Mode (see page 15). You can forward calls to a different
number (see page 49) or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see page 43) if
your service plan includes call forwarding or voicemail features.
We recommend that you
charge your Treo for a full
three hours, or until the
LED turns solid green,
before using it for the first
time.
If the battery is fully
drained, and your Treo
doesn’t turn on, the Treo
stores your data safely for
about three days. We
recommend that you
charge and synchronize
your Treo every day,
especially if you use your
phone often.
If the battery is fully
drained, it may take a few
moments for the LED to
light up while charging.
