              Tip Suspending operation will help conserve batteries.



              Optimize battery life

              You want your batteries to last as long as possible, especially when you're on the road. Under normal conditions, you can get many hours of use from a single set of batteries. Here are a few tips to help you get the most from them.

              Note When batteries are low, you will see a battery icon in the taskbar.

              Set up your power schemes
              1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel.
              2. Open the Power icon, and then select the Schemes tab.
              3. Select desired options for entering reduced power states

              Note If you do not see the Schemes tab, then passive power management is enabled. See Set device to turn off when idle for passive power management settings.

              The time choices represent the amount of time that must pass before the system will switch to the next power conservation state. For example, if "Switch state to System Idle:" is set to "After 5 minutes," then the system will transition from the User Idle state to the System Idle state after 5 minutes of inactivity.

              Even if a time of "Never" is selected, the system may still enter a lower power conservation state if circumstances warrant. For instance, if "Switch state to Suspend:" is set to "Never," the battery reaching a critical level might still cause the system to suspend.

              Tip Shorter times will help conserve batteries.



              Check the power levels of your system devices
              1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel.
              2. Open the Power icon, and then select the Device Status tab.

              Note If you do not see the Device Status tab, then passive power management is enabled. See Set device to turn off when idle for passive power management settings.

              All of your device components that have active power management enabled will appear in the left column with their current power level in the right column. The power level will range from "High (D0)" which means the device is at the highest power level to "Off (D4)" which means the device is at the lowest power level.

              Input Language

              The input language is the keyboard language or Input Method Editor you use to input information on your device.

              1. Select Start > Settings > Control Panel.
              2. Open the Regional and Language Settings icon.
              3. Select the Input Language tab.
              4. Select the default language from the Default Input Language drop-down list. This is the input language you want to use each time you start the device.
              5. Select the languages you plan to use from the Installed Input Language list. Clear the check box for any language you do not want to use.

              NOTE: Changing the default input language requires a soft reset of the device. To avoid loss of data, it is best to change the default input language only at initial device setup.

              Managing Digital Certificates

              Certificates are used by some applications for establishing trust and for secure communications. Certificates are signed and issued by certificate authorities and are valid for a prescribed period of time. Windows CE manages multiple certificate stores.

The Trusted Authorities store lists the top-level certificates for authorities you trust. The My Certificates store contains your personal certificates, which you use to identify yourself. Intermediate certificate authorities that help establish a chain of trust are stored in the Other Authorities store.
              4. To add a certificate or associated private key to the selected store, select Import.
              5. To view more details of the selected certificate, such as the expanded name or expiration date, choose View.
