HP Palmtop PC User Guide - 19
Working with the HP Palmtop PC
• Charge the main batteries as soon as possible after a low battery warning
appears.
• Whenever possible, switch to AC power when you use high-power PC Cards
(such as modem cards). Using these cards when the main batteries are low
can cause data corruption or loss.
• Use the AC adapter while the palmtop PC is connected to a desktop PC.
Don’t leave the Synch Cable attached while on battery power if you’re not
actually exchanging data with the desktop PC.
• Avoid using sounds when your main batteries are low. Playing .wav files
when the batteries are low can cause the unit to shut down, hence losing
unsaved data.
• Don’t use battery power for dial-up connections. PC Card modems and other
PC Cards require considerable power to operate. Always use AC power when
making dial-up connections with a PC Card modem.
Note
The HP Palmtop PC will not power on if the main batteries are very low.
