Installation
To download Battery Pack Pro to your Pocket
PC:
- Double click on the BPPOD.exe or BPPOL.EXE file you downloaded when
you tried / purchased Battery Pack Pro.
- Click on the "Extract" button.
- Select "Yes" when prompted to create the directory.
- Select "Yes" to run the program "Setup.exe".
- Installation should begin (you will see the Omega One logo).
When installing onto your Pocket PC, always install to the
default directory. Do not install to any other directory (such
as on a storage card). Battery Pack Pro uses very little
of your Program Memory.
Problems with installation
If you are having trouble installing, try the
following:
Make sure you have the latest version of the Microsoft
ActiveSync software. To download the latest version, go to
http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/downloads.
Find the processor your device uses by going to Start, Settings,
System on your Pocket PC (this will always be ARM for Pocket
PC 2002 devices). Now open up the c:\OmegaOne\BattPack folder
on your PC and you should find a batt.?.cab file, where ?
is the name of the processor on your Pocket PC (either SH3,
MIPS or ARM). Note, all Pocket PC 2002 & Pocket PC 2003
devices use the ARM processor. Make sure your Pocket PC is
connected to your PC and right click on the ActiveSync icon
on your PC's toolbar. Select Explore. This will display the
My Documents folder on your Pocket PC. Drag the batt.?.cab
file from the c:\OmegaOne\BattPack folder window to your Pocket
PC folder window. The file you need is now on your Pocket
PC. On your Pocket PC select Start, Programs, File Explorer.
It should default to your My Documents folder when opening.
Tap the batt.?.cab file and it should install.
Problems with reinstallation
If you are having trouble reinstalling a newer version of
Battery Pack Pro, or are upgrading from the trial version
to the full version you may have trouble with the BattBar.dll
file being already in use.
To correct this: Uninstall the current version of Battery
Pack Pro. See the Uninstallation instructions for more information.
Install the new version only when uninstallation is complete.

Using Battery Bar
Starting the Battery Bar
Battery Time Remaining
Tapping Battery Bar
The Battery Bar Display
Battery Bar Settings
Starting
the Battery Bar
When you install Battery Pack Pro, the Battery Bar
should show up automatically. If it doesn't:
- Select Start, Settings, Today, Items.
- In the list on the left find Battery Bar and check it. Note
you can move the Battery Bar up and down your Today items
by highlighting it and using the Move Up and Move Down buttons.
- Tap OK, then Start, Today.
You should now see the Battery Bar on your today screen.
The Battery Time Remaining display
Since everybody uses their Pocket PC in different
ways, the drain on the battery will be different. Battery
Bar "learns" how you use your Pocket PC to accurately
display the battery time remaining for how you use your device.
After a certain time it will start displaying battery time
remaining. Over the next few days of use the time remaining
display will steadily get more and more accurate.
Note: if you usually keep your Pocket PC fully charged all
the time it may take Battery Bar longer to generate an accurate
battery time remaining figure. In this instance, let your
Pocket PC discharge a little (down to 50-60% battery life)
once or twice.
Manufacturers advertise their Pocket PC will operate for
a certain amount of hours from a full charge. You will most
likely find the Battery Time Remain display will be a lot
lower than this figure. This is because your Pocket PC drains
the battery even when it is "off" (actually in standby
mode). Battery Time Remain only measures the time you are
using your Pocket PC (the time that is the most important
to you!).
Tapping the items on the Battery
Bar
When tapped, many of the icons and text on the Battery Bar
link to other useful functions, or change how the Battery
Bar information is displayed. If you are experiencing problems
getting to these functions, you may need to realign your screen.
To do this, tap Start, then Settings, then Align.
What happens when you tap an area is described in the
Understanding
the Battery Bar section.
Understanding the Battery Bar display
The Battery Bar is split up into 6 separate areas:
Folder / Battery icon
Tap this icon to:
- Swap Batteries - when the battery is
swapped, tap here to help the Battery Time Remain feature
recalibrate itself for each battery.
- Display the Power Store application.
- Display Battery Bar settings.
- Display this help file.
Settings / Help Icon
On the right hand side of the Battery Bar the yellow settings
icon allows access to the Battery Bar settings. The blue help
icon views this help information.
Display Banks
Between these icons various information can be displayed
including battery, memory, storage card, backlight, clock,
network usage and time zone information.
Each piece of information is the same size
so can fit into one of the 6 display banks that can be seen on
the Battery Bar. To alter which information is displayed in
which bank, see Battery Bar Settings.
The following information can be seen in
these display banks:
Battery information
The battery slider shows how much battery life is left on
your Pocket PC. Under normal conditions the display shows the
battery icon, a bar showing the amount of battery life left,
and text. The text shows one of the following three types of
information:
- How much Battery time is remaining (e.g.
"5h 45m r"). "r" stands for "remaining". When the battery is
charging this changes to show how long it will take for the
battery to be fully charged (e.g. "1h 23m c"). "c" stands
for "charging".
- The percentage battery life remaining
(e.g. "78%")
- How long has elapsed since the battery
was last charged (e.g. "1h 23m e"). "e" stands for "elapsed"
To switch between these three types of
information tap the battery text.
To display more detailed battery
information, tap the battery sliders or battery icon.
If a red warning icon appears on the battery
icon, your backup battery is critically low and should be
replaced.
Storage memory
The Storage Memory area shows the Storage Memory available
on your Pocket PC.
Tapping on the icon or text will display more detailed
memory settings for your device.
Storage card(s)
The storage card area displays information about storage
cards plugged into the Pocket PC. On some Pocket PCs it also
shows information about the internal RAM disk (like an
internal storage card). For more information on this type of
storage memory, see your Pocket PC manual.
Below the storage icon is displayed the
amount of space available on this storage card. Tapping this
text switches between showing the amount of memory free as a
percentage or in megabytes (MB).
Tapping the slider (or the right side of the
storage icon in the large Battery Bar view) will start the
File Explorer to allow you to explore data on your storage
card(s).
Tapping the storage card icon (or the left
side of the storage card icon in the large Battery Bar view)
will change what information is displayed. By default the
display will cycle through all storage cards currently
inserted in the Pocket PC. Tapping the icon will stop this
cycling and will allow you to permanently display one storage
card. Tapping again will permanently display another storage
card. Once all cards have been exhausted, tapping again will
switch back to cycling through all storage cards.
Backlight
When tapped, the backlight icon displays the backlight
settings.
Tapping the "a" button will turn the auto
backlight adjustment on and off for iPAQ devices with this
feature.
The slider below the backlight icon adjusts
the backlight brightness. This feature currently on works for
Dell, Toshiba & iPAQ devices (not iPAQ 1910).
Clock
This shows the time (and date if there is space). Tapping
on the time will allow the user to change the current time.
Network Monitor
The network icon will flash the two computer screens
during uploading and downloading on the current network
connection. By clicking below the network icon, the network
monitor will cycle through total transferred, amount uploaded,
amount downloaded, upload rate and download rate.
Tapping on the Network Icon will allow the
user to change which network connection is being viewed and
view useful network information.
The Network Monitor feature is only
available in Battery Pack Pro v1 and later.
Time Zone Information
The Time Zone information displays each of the four Power
Time cities around the world along with the current time at
this location and the current weather conditions. To choose
different cities, see Power Time.
Tapping on the time for each city swaps
between the four Power Time cities. Tapping anywhere else
launches Power Time to view more detailed information about
this city.
The Time Zone feature is only available in Battery Pack Pro v2
and later. For more information on how to upgrade, see
