Under the Settings>Power menu there is this setting with a slider, battery percentage and estimated remaining battery time.
I'm pretty experienced with lots of computers, but for the life of me, I cannot understand what this setting does. It's not explained in the manual either(imagine that).
Thanks,

Basically that's how long your Pocket PC will maintain a charge with it turned off. Think of a cellphone. A cellphone might get 6 hours of talk time, yet 72 hours of "standby" time - time where you aren't talking. It's the same thing with the PPC. It just represents time left on the battery if the PPC isn't being used.

Ok...but i don't understand what the slider does. How can you change the amount of standby time there is?? It would seem this would be a fixed value which depends on the amount of battery power remaining, obviously, just like on a cell phone....how can this be adjustable with a slider?
And also, standby time on a cell phone and on a PPC should be very different things...with a cell phone, the phone is still ON and using power to keep contact with the tower. But with the PPC in "standby", it should basically be off and using only the power necessary to keep the RAM powered, right? When I turn my hx4705 off at the power switch, it should be completely off, and it should last a VERY long time(I would think weeks) if all it has to do is power the RAM.
Hi guys,
This is the amount of power the ipaq reserves in the main battery. Once this threshold is crossed the ipaq will not turn on/power up. This preserves all data contained in RAM. So for a setting of 72 hours the ipaq will reserve enough power for 72hrs of backup in the powered off state before it resorts to the backup battery.

Ahhh! Ok gotcha. That makes sense. Nice how they don't explain that in ANY of the documentation that comes with this thing.
Thanks!
