Battery Life
Battery life depends on individual use. Consumption factors include signal
strength, speakerphone use, and use of wireless features.
When used as a phone, the Treo device battery provides up to 4.5 hours of talk
time on the Nationwide Sprint PCS® Network or up to 15 days of standby time.
Talk time is slightly lower when you are roaming on the cellular 800 MHz band.
If the battery drains to the point where your device doesn’t turn on, the device
stores your information safely until you recharge the battery. To avoid draining
the battery, we recommend that you charge and synchronize your device every
day, especially if you use the wireless features of your device often.

performance.
