Brett,

If you are on battery power, this is the default function. If it is on
battery power, this is normal and can be adjusted via the
Start> Settings>System>Power options. From here you can adjust the auto
Start> turn
off feature for battery and AC useage.

Regards,

Any chance you have ActiveSync on the device configured to try and access a
server? Look at this page for the pertinent windows on the PocketPC to
disable this...See the "Configure the PocketPC ActiveSync client" section
and the "Server synchronization" window...

WM2003ActiveSyncConfiguration.html

Another possible cause is you setup an "Inbox service" (or "Inbox account
on WM2003 OS devices) on your PocketPC to access a POP3 mail server via the
internet at some interval. Check the "Options (1/3)" page and make sure its
not set to automatically try and connect to the email server every so
often...

Usually happens if you have some sort of polling program loaded, such
as automatically trying to sync ActiveSync remotely, or checking other
email accounts, or even logging in to MSN Messenger automatically. I
have turned on the option to automatically sign in to MSN Messenger and
the device will turn itself on (light the screen) to attach
occassionally.

Have you by chance enabled Bluetooth or 802 wi-fi and it is searching
for access points or another device?
