Low Battery Indicators; Tips For Conserving Battery Power - Philips VELO500 User Manual

Low battery indicators

Your Velo 500 displays warning messages when batteries are low.
Take immediate action if you see these messages.
Caution To avoid data loss, do not allow the backup battery to run
down. Replace it as soon as you see a message that your backup
battery is low. Also, do not remove the backup battery unless the
main batteries are installed and are in good condition (or you are
connected to external power).

Do not use battery power when using PC Card accessories.
PC Cards require considerable power to operate and can
quickly drain your Velo 500's batteries. Always use external
power when making dial-up connections with a PC Card
modem. (The internal modem has very low power
consumption compared to PC Card modems. It is not
necessary to use external power with the internal modem.)
Shorten auto-suspend time. To conserve battery power,
your Velo 500 automatically suspends operation while on
battery power after three minutes if you have not touched
the keyboard or used the stylus. To maximize battery life,
you can shorten this time. For more information, see "The
Power control panel" in "Fine-tuning performance."
When your Velo 500 is connected to your desktop computer,
make sure the Velo Dock is connected to the AC adapter.
