The charge light is solid

Microsoft ActiveSync 3.5 opens

Charge with the AC adapter
Because your Compaq iPAQ
Pocket PC uses some power to
maintain RAM and the clock, you
need to recharge the battery regu-
larly. Keep the Compaq iPAQ
Pocket PC connected to the cradle
or the AC adapter while you are at
your desk. The best policy is to
keep the Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC
connected to your computer when
working at your desk and carry
your AC adapter with you when
traveling.
CAUTION: Because most of
the applications and data you
install on your Compaq iPAQ
Pocket PC are held in memory,
you will need to reinstall them if
the battery completely dis-
charges.
Use the AC adapter to also charge
your optional expansion pack, if
you have purchased one. For more
information about expansion
packs, see Expanding Functional-
ity with Expansion Packs in the
eBook guide or the printable refer-
ence guide available on the
CD-ROM.
The standard adapter works in any
household outlet. You can also pur-
chase one that works in your car’s
cigarette lighter or a 12-volt power
outlet.
CAUTION: Use only Compaq
recommended AC adapters.
