My former T\|T didn't lose its data but I feel a bit unsecure with my new iPAQ 'casue I don't know yet how it works... Could I rest in peace or not about this matter?! :fro: __________________ HP iPAQ 2215

In general, it's a good idea to keep Pocket PCs charged, not only to prevent data loss, but because Li-Ion batteries hate deep discharges. --janak

And when you say "then some" you're talking about how long time? If you guess...

If it anything like the 5455, there is a sliding scale that you can set the number of hours it will save data in standbye mode. But those settings are ajustable __________________ "There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio, Than are dreamt of in your philosophy." - Hamletwww.coreyjf.com

The info on that slide represents hrs that the PDA will "standby" without relying on the backup battery. So it goes up to 96hrs if you are that worried. After that i think you have another 24hrs with the backup battery (or maybe that's 10mins) __________________ History: Nino 320 - iPAQ 3150 - iPAQ 3650 - iPAQ 3970 - iPAQ 2215NOW: iPAQ4155+ SE T616 = Bluetooth Heaven
