Managing the Battery
Your iPAQ Pocket PC is shipped with the rechargeable battery
partially charged. It is recommended that you fully charge the
Pocket PC battery before setting up the unit, and recharge
regularly. Your Pocket PC uses some power to maintain files in
RAM and the clock. While working at your desk, keep the Pocket
PC and AC Adapter connected through the USB Synchronization
Charger cradle. When you travel, it is recommended that you
carry the AC Adapter, Charger Adapter plug, or an optional spare
battery with you.
CAUTION: Use only an HP approved battery for your iPAQ Pocket
Ä
PC. Inserting a battery that does not comply with HP requirements may
cause the Pocket PC to malfunction.
The iPAQ Pocket PC also has a small internal backup battery that
allows you to change the main battery without losing RAM data
(user-installed programs and data) as long as it is replaced
immediately. The internal battery can only be removed by
qualified HP Technical Support.
