Charging Over a USB Connection
You can charge your HP iPAQ with a USB connection to a
personal computer or notebook computer using the HP iPAQ
Cradle without an AC Adapter connected, or by using an optional
USB Autosync Cable. Insert the HP iPAQ into the cradle and
connect the cradle to your personal computer or notebook
computer, or connect the Autosync Cable to the HP iPAQ and
your personal computer or notebook computer. The HP iPAQ
will charge using power from the computer.
Note: HP recommends that you power off your HP iPAQ while
using the USB charging feature. If your HP iPAQ is powered on,
your device will consume more current than is being supplied by
the USB charging and the main battery will not be charged.
During this state, the charging LED will not blink since it is not
charging.
To enable USB charging:
1. From the Start menu, tap Settings > System tab > Power
icon > USB Charging tab.
2. Select Use USB Charging.
