How to Prolong Battery Life 
■ Use the Toshiba Pocket PC e740 with the AC adapter. 
When you use the Toshiba Pocket PC under the following conditions, 
the power consumption will be higher than normal. Please use the AC 
adapter when: 
■ The Toshiba Pocket PC e740 is operated while connected to your 
computer. 
■ The Toshiba Pocket PC e740 is operated with a storage card or 
with any other optional equipment. 
■ Select the short power-off time in the setting menu. This will shorten 
the time the unit will remain on if not used. For more information, see 
“Customize Your Toshiba Pocket PC” in this chapter. 
■ Turn off the front light. 
■ Set the screen brightness to power save mode (Med Bright or low 
Bright). Also shorten the light turn-off time. For more information, see 
“Customize Your Toshiba Pocket PC” in this chapter. 
■ Use the Toshiba Pocket PC with an ambient temperature between 
15°C (59°F) and 25°C (77°F). This temperature range is the most 
effective for the battery. 
■ When you use the Toshiba Pocket PC e740 in high or low 
temperature environments, the operable time is shortened due to 
the decrease of the battery capacity. 
■ Turn off the Wireless Communication Switch when you don’t use 
Bluetooth or Wireless LAN (Bluetooth and Wireless LAN models 
only). 
Battery Life 
The battery has a limited life. Repeated charging/discharging of the 
battery gradually decreases operable time. 
■ Do not leave the Toshiba Pocket PC in a place of high or low 
temperature. It may shorten battery life. 
If you have not used the Toshiba Pocket PC for several days, its battery 
charge level reading may be inaccurate. Fully recharge the battery before 
using.

Battery Charge Level and Stored Data Protection 
If the battery charge level becomes extremely low, or is completely 
discharged, the memory data stored in the Toshiba Pocket PC will be 
lost. 
When the low battery status icon or the alarm message appears, 
immediately connect the AC adapter to your Toshiba Pocket PC and

Toshiba Pocket PC may completely discharge. 
As a precaution, it is recommended that you save the Toshiba 
Pocket PC’s memory data to your computer or to a storage card. 
The manufacturer is not responsible for data change or data loss due to
