Step 3: Charge the battery

CAUTION: To avoid damaging your HP iPAQ or the AC adapter, make sure all metal connectors are properly aligned before connecting.

The battery provides power for your HP iPAQ to operate. Use the AC adapter that comes with your HP iPAQ to charge the device.

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

To charge the battery:

1.Connect the AC adapter to an electrical outlet.

2.Open the protective flap on the HP iPAQ.

3.Connect the other end of the cable to the mini-USB connector port on your HP iPAQ. The cable connector only fits 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.

To enable USB charging on your HP iPAQ, tap Start > Settings > System > Power > USB Charging. On the Power screen, select the Use USB Charging check box.

NOTE: Whenever a replacement battery is inserted into your HP iPAQ, press the Power key for at least two seconds. In case your HP iPAQ does not turn on, connect an AC adapter and then try turning on your HP iPAQ.

Step 4: Turn on your HP iPAQ

Press and hold the Power key for a few seconds to turn on your HP iPAQ. Next, follow the instructions on the screen to complete the setup. Use the on-screen keyboard or the QWERTY keyboard to enter information.

NOTE: The HP iPAQ will take a few minutes for the initial boot up. The keyboard will not be active during this period.
