Battery life :: 33Battery lifeBattery life depends on individual usage. When used as a phone, your Treo batteryprovides up to 4 hours of talk time or up to 10 days of standby time on the 1900 MHzband. Talk time is slightly lower when operating on the cellular 800 MHz band. Whenused as an organizer only (no phone), the battery provides up to 4 weeks of normaluse.Maximizing battery lifeYou 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 hasa much longer useful life when it is topped off frequently, versus charging it after itis fully drained.• The wireless features (phone, email, messaging, and web) of your Treo generallyconsume more power than its organizer features. However, if you spend a lot oftime using the camera, games, media players, eBooks, or other Palm OSapplications, 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 wantto turn off Wireless Mode (see page 15). You can forward calls to a differentnumber (see page 49) or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see page 43) ifyour service plan includes call forwarding or voicemail features.We recommend that youcharge your Treo for a fullthree hours, or until theLED turns solid green,before using it for the firsttime.If the battery is fullydrained, and your Treodoesn’t turn on, the Treostores your data safely forabout three days. Werecommend that youcharge and synchronizeyour Treo every day,especially if you use yourphone often.If the battery is fullydrained, it may take a fewmoments for the LED tolight up while charging.
