3 Managing Your Pocket PC This chapter tells you how to effectively manage power, memory, settings, data and programs of your Pocket PC. 3.1 Managing Power A fully charged battery should provide power for up to 8 hours of use. The operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using the Pocket PC. Some functions, such as using multimedia or operating a SD/MMC card, may consume the battery power considerably.
Power-Saving Tips Follow these suggestions to maximize the battery’s operating time, particularly when you are relying solely on the battery power for extended time periods. z Suspend frequently. By default, the screen backlight will automatically turn off and the Pocket PC will also turn off when it has been idle for a period of time. You can shorten the length of the idle time using Æ Settings Æ System Æ Power Æ Advanced to set up.
Your Pocket PC automatically manages the allocation between storage and program memory. However, in some situations, such as when the memory is running out, your Pocket PC may not be able to automatically adjust the allocation. (For information on solving memory problems, see section 7.4.) Additional Memory You can buy a SD/MMC storage card for backup, storage, archives or to transfer large files to other devices.

This method requires an optional modem or network card. Tap Æ Messaging to switch to the program.
Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server You can send and receive email messages by connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail server if you can connect to your ISP or local area network. (For information on connection, see Section 6.1.) Setting up an Email Service You can use multiple email services to receive your messages.

z If you use POP3 and you move email messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the Pocket PC and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server sees that the messages are missing from the Pocket PC Inbox and deletes them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the Pocket PC.
