LED status during charging:
• Solid red: Charging
• Solid green: Charging complete
If the battery level becomes low in the course of normal use, a
status icon appears on the device screen indicating low or very
low battery status. In both cases, perform an ActiveSync
operation to back up your data, then recharge your device as soon
as possible.
If the battery level reaches low status, the device will enter sleep
mode; if the battery level reaches very low status, the device will
enter deep sleep mode. In this case, you have about 72 hours to
recharge your device afterwhich you risk losing all data on your
device’s internal memory.
3 Start up the PA500
After you have initially charged your device for about 16 hours, the
device is ready to be used. You can now start up your device where
you’ll calibrate the display, set up the system time zone, and learn
some basic stylus usage.
(1) Turn on your device by pressing the power button on the front
panel.
NOTE: The PA500 screen ships with a protective plastic film. You may
remove this if desired by peeling from one corner. The screen will be
more susceptible to scratching without the film, but will be more
readable.
