Introduction
Battery Pack Pro allows you to monitor the battery, memory, storage cards and network usage on your Smartphone (Battery Bar & Power Store), launch your favorite applications (Program Bar), clean up unwanted files (Power Clean), close down running applications (Power Task), and get customized alerts when reminders pop up (Power Alert).

Running Battery Pack Pro
Once Battery Pack Pro has been installed on the Smartphone, go to the "Programs" menu and find the "Battery Pack Pro" application. This application will allow you to control the main features of Battery Pack Pro.

Inserting Battery Bar & Program Bar on the Home Screen
Run the Battery Pack Pro application and select "Add/Remove plug-ins". Press "Add" to add them. Once this has finished Battery Bar & Program Bar will be installed as the top two plug-ins on your home screen.

Version Information
To see the current version of Battery Pack Pro, run the Battery Pack Pro application and press the "About" button.

Using Battery Bar
Once the Battery Bar has been added to the home screen, it will by default show the Smartphone's current Battery, memory & network usage, plus the current time in the form of an analog clock. Navigate to the Battery Bar by using the up/down buttons. Once on the Battery Bar, use the left/right buttons to move between the items. Each item on the Battery Bar is described below:

Power Store Icon
On the far left of the Battery Bar is a battery/folder icon. Press "Select" when over this item and it will launch the Power Store application. More information about this is available here.

Switch Batteries Icon
This item is for users who have multiple batteries. Once the battery has been changed, press "Select" when over this icon to tell the Battery Bar a new battery has been installed. This allows the battery time remain figure to show accurate information for each battery.

Battery Information
The battery icon at the top of the display shows the amount of battery life remaining as a percentage and also as the amount of "orange" on the battery. If the battery is charging a small plug appears on the left hand side of the battery. If the battery is fully charged a tick icon is displayed over the battery. Pressing "Select" when the highlighter is over this icon will display the Power Management Settings information.

The text below the battery icon information shows three types of information. Pressing "Select" when over this text will switch between the three modes:

• Text showing the amount of battery life left (e.g. "5h 23m r"). the "r" signifies time remaining. When the device is charging this will change to show the amount of time left until the device is fully charged (e.g. "24m c").
• The percentage battery life remaining (e.g. "68%").
• The amount of time since the battery was last charged (e.g. "1h 45m e"). When the device is charging this displays "Charging".

On some Smartphones the battery may never say "100%" charged, but may stay at 99%. This is due to the battery information the Smartphone is providing to the Battery Bar. This doesn't mean there is a problem with your Smartphone.

The battery time remaining figure is an estimate of the amount of battery time that is remaining. It will get more accurate over time as Battery Pack Pro "learns" how you use your Smartphone.

Memory Information
The memory bank contains three pieces of information - the icon, meter & text. The icon shows whether program or storage memory is being viewed and the meter shows the percentage memory free. Pressing "Select" on the icon/meter will switch between showing program memory, storage memory, or automatically cycling between program & storage memory.

The text below the icon/meter shows the amount of memory free (e.g. "10 MB"). Pressing "Select" on the text will switch between showing this information as KB/MB free and as percentage free.

Storage Card Information
The storage card bank contains three pieces of information - the icon, meter & text. The icon denotes which storage card the user is viewing. The meter shows the percentage space free. Pressing "Select" on the icon/meter will switch between different storage cards (if more than one are detected on the Smartphone), or between automatically cycling between storage cards on the Smartphone. On some Smartphones the internal memory storage card will appear here as "IPSM".

The text below the icon/meter shows the amount of memory free (e.g. "10 MB"). Pressing "Select" on the text will switch between showing this information as KB/MB free and as percentage free.

Network Information
The network bank shows information about network usage. The computer screen icons light when data is being downloaded or uploaded to the device. Next to the icon is displayed "DL", "DL rate", "UL", "UL Rate" and "Tot" which shows the amount of MB/KB downloaded, the download rate (in bits per second or KB per second), the amount of MB/KB uploaded, the upload rate, and the total data downloaded & uploaded. Pressing "Select" on the icon will display a screen which displays more detailed information about the network connection. Pressing "Select" on the text below the icon will switch between showing "DL", "DL Rate", "UL", "UL Rate" and "Tot" information.

Analog Clock
This displays the current time. Pressing "Select" on the clock will display the date & time settings.

Settings Icon
The orange icon on the right hand side of the Battery Bar takes the user to the Battery Bar settings page. For more information on this, click here.

Help Icon
Pressing "Select" on the help icon will display these help instructions.
 

Battery Bar Options
The Battery Bar options page can be accessed in two ways:

• Through the orange settings icon on the right hand side of the Battery Bar.
• By selecting "Battery Bar Options" in the Battery Pack Pro application.

The following settings can be adjusted:

General

Size
The vertical size of the Battery Bar can be adjusted from "tiny", "small" and "big". The larger the size, the more information can be displayed, but more of the home screen is taken up with the information.

Show Percentage
Checking this check box shows percentage information in the Battery Bar meters & on the battery icon. Unchecking removes this information. This may be useful to more clearly view the information in the meters.

Reset Battery Time Remain
Checking this, then pressing "Done" will reset the battery time remaining calculation. This can be useful if you change how you use your Smartphone (e.g. you begin regularly playing music) and want the Battery Bar to show a more accurate battery time remaining figure.

Storage Card Icon
At the bottom of the "General" Battery Pack settings screen is the option to adjust the icon for each storage card on the system. Use the selector with different MB values in it to switch between the storage cards Battery Bar knows about. Use the "Next" button to change the icon for this storage card. If you regularly use several storage cards in the Smartphone, it can be useful to use different icons for each storage card so you can easily tell them apart.

Customize
Battery Bar can display 6 "banks" of information. A "bank" is a section of battery, memory, storage card, network, or clock information. Use the Customize screen to select which information to display on the screen.
The "Disable Network Monitor" check box can be used to stop gathering network information if the Network Monitor on the Battery Bar & Power Store are not required.

Speech
Battery Bar announces various battery & memory events (e.g. when the battery is low, or the battery is charged). These settings can be altered on this screen. The voice announcements can repeat, or can be announced only once.

Using Program Bar
Once the Program Bar has been added to the home screen, it will by default show a list of program icons on the home screen. Navigate to the Program Bar by using the up/down buttons. Once on the Program Bar, use the left/right buttons to move between the icons.
The up/down buttons on the right hand side of the screen switch between displaying multiple lines on the home screen. This allows many icons to be accessed from the home screen on just 1 line of icons.

Program Bar Options
The Program Bar options page can be accessed by selecting "Program Bar Options" in the Battery Pack Pro application. To adjust the which icons are displayed on the Program Bar, select "Program Bar Icons".

The following settings can be adjusted:

Show date
A specially shortened date can be displayed on the Program Bar on the first line. To disable the date, uncheck the "Show date" check box.

Static
Program Bar is made up of a series of static lines (i.e. lines that do not scroll) and scrolling lines. Changing the number of static lines will change how many are displayed on the home screen.

Scrolling
The "Scrolling" box selects how many total lines will be devoted to lines that can be scrolled.

Program Bar Icons
The Program Bar icons page can be accessed by selecting "Program Bar Icons" in the Battery Pack Pro application.
This screen allows the icons on the Program Bar to selected. Unlike the existing list of icons on the home screen, these icons never change and can be used as quick ways of accessing your favorite applications.
Use the up/down buttons to switch between the box to choose the icon, and the icons below. Use the left/right buttons to move between the program to be selected at the top of the screen, and between the icons at the bottom of the screen. The scrolling icons cannot be edited.

Special Icons
Program Bar includes some icons that perform special operations:

- Power Clean -
See the Power Clean section for more information.

- Power Alert -
See the Power Alert section for more information.

- Power Off -
Select this icon to turn the device off.

- Power Task -
See the Power Task section for more information.

*No icon*
Select this to blank this entry in the Program Bar.

Run this program to clean up temporary files that are using precious space on your Smartphone. Select which folders you want to clean up, and select "Clean" to delete the unwanted files. Power Clean can also be instructed to clean up unwanted files every hour.

Power Alert
To run Power Alert, go to the Battery Pack Pro application and select "Power Alert". This program can also be selected to appear on the Program Bar. See the Program Bar options for how to do this.

Power Alert allows you to customize how the Calendar, Task & Alarm alerts sound, and how often they are repeated. The Power Alert screen allows you to alter:

• Whether Power Alerts are used or the standard alert sound.
• Which sound file is used.
• How loud the sound should be.
• If you have muted the volume, whether to play reminders despite this.

When an alert sounds, it can play for between 0 & 59 seconds. If 0 is selected the sound will be played exactly once only.

After playing for between 0 & 59 seconds, the sound can be repeated every 1-29 minutes. Setting this to 0 will mean the sound is never repeated.

The sound alert can be stopped after 1-119 minutes. Setting this to 0 will mean it will be stopped after playing the sound once only.

Power Store
To run Power Store, select the battery/folder icon on the left hand side of the Battery Bar. For more information on how to display the Battery Bar, click here.

Power Store displays detailed battery, memory, storage card & network usage information. Use the menu or the left/right buttons to switch between the 5 different screens.

Battery/Memory
This page displays the main battery, backup battery, program & storage memory information.
