Managing the Battery
Your iPAQ Pocket PC is shipped with a rechargeable battery that
is partially charged. It is recommended that you fully charge the
Pocket PC battery before setting up the device, 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 HP Desktop Cradle.
When you travel, it is recommended that you carry the AC
Adapter, Charger Adapter plug, or an optional spare battery with
you.
Ä
CAUTION: Use only an HP approved battery for your iPAQ Pocket
PC. Inserting a battery that does not comply with HP requirements might
cause the Pocket PC to malfunction and will void the HP iPAQ limited
warranty.
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 within
15 minutes. The internal battery can only be removed by
qualified HP Technical Support.
