Special considerations for international travelers
If you are traveling internationally, you may not be able to recharge batteries using the charger that came with your HP CapShare appliance, because of differences in electrical outlets.
Battery chargers for international use are available in most airports. Please see the battery charger for details about power requirements.
Battery care
Storing batteries
After the batteries have been removed from the HP CapShare appliance or battery charger, store the batteries in a dry place and within the recommended storage temperature range from 50° F (10° C) to 86° F (30° C).
CAUTION The batteries should not be stored in the battery charger.
When to purchase new batteries
You should purchase new batteries for your HP CapShare appliance when the batteries are useful for only a short time after recharging. NiMH batteries are good for up to 500 full recharge cycles.
Other battery types
Although NiMH batteries are recommended for extended operation time, two AA high- capacity Alkaline, NiCd, or NiMH batteries can also be used. You can also purchase a quick charger for NiMH batteries.
CAUTION The charger shipped with the HP CapShare appliance can be used to recharge only NiMH batteries. “High capacity” NiMH and NiCd batteries require their own chargers, purchased
where the batteries are sold.
For additional information about batteries, refer to the How do I... tab of the HP CapShare PC utility.
