Active selling Pocket PC Casio BE-300 began only recently - in March 2002 and has gradually become clear terms of the major problems faced by users of this machine. Home - a very short period of the internal battery. In the opinion of most users, it is enough for about 3 hours of normal operation. For comparison - the same period Cassiopeia E-200 is about 5 hours, iPaq 38XX - 6-7 hours. Developers BE-300, apparently did not think this issue is too important. Battery itself is very small in size and is physically unable to give the device a longer life. Have to expect from Casio adoption of certain measures in this regard? Probably not. The official position of the manufacturer is as follows. As stated in the instructions to the battery Casio BE-300, the owners of the CPC is guaranteed about a week (during "normal use") or 4 hours of continuous operation of machines before the next recharge. True, the screen brightness at the same time should be located at the bottom mark. "At its zhisnesposobnosti is certainly not the best battery, but vplone acceptable option, - commented the representative Sasio. - If you set the minimum screen brightness and polvozatsya simultaneously a large number of applications, it is possible your device will work and 6 hours. On the other hand, if you listen to audio or watch videos on it, the time will inevitably be reduced to 2-3 hours. In Tokyo office Casio does not accept any complaints about the duration of the BE-300, but, nevertheless, take note of the situation, that avoid its repetition in the future. " Well, future products may be equipped with more energy efficient batteries, but how to be current users of these machines? Try to offer several options for solutions to problems. Firstly, you can buy a spare battery, its number CGA-1/105A. This solution is inexpensive, about $ 10, but quite inconvenient. Replacement batteries - not for the average user.
