The battery provides power for your HP iPAQ to operate. Your HP iPAQ comes with a mini-USB synchronization cable, which must be used to charge the device.

It takes approximately 2–4 hours to fully charge the battery for the first time. Subsequent charges might take longer.

1.Insert the USB end of the mini-USB synchronization cable into the port on the AC adapter.

2.Connect the AC adapter to an electrical outlet.

3.Connect the mini-USB synchronization cable to the charging/communications port on your

HP iPAQ. The cable connector fits only one way. If the connector does not insert easily, turn it over.

TIP: You can also charge the battery by connecting your HP iPAQ to a USB port on your computer using the mini-USB synchronization cable.

NOTE: Whenever a replacement battery is inserted into your HP iPAQ, press the Power key for at least two seconds. In case the device does not switch on, attach the AC adapter to switch on your HP iPAQ.

Step 4: Turn on your HP iPAQ

Press the Power key to turn on your HP iPAQ. Next, follow the instructions on the screen to complete the setup. Use the on-screen keyboard to enter information.
