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 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
Common 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.
