Yes you are doing it right. First, the RAM is volitile memory which means if power is totally cut off it will lose its contents. So the PDA has to constantly power the ram. Second, it still thinks a little bit when its turned off so it can do things like alarms and have no boot time when you hit the power button. Its really nothing to worry about unless you plan on leaving the thing off for weeks with out connecting it to a power supply and the drain is really small.
