Battery

How long should it take to charge my battery?

It can take your battery up to three hours to fully charge using the AC charger. If you connect your iPAQ to a USB port, charging can take up to twice as long as with an AC adapter.

I am having trouble turning on my iPAQ. What should I do?

Ensure the battery is charged.

Connect the device to AC Power and look at the LED indicator.

A flashing red LED indicates a low battery charge.

A solid red LED indicates that the battery is charging.

A solid green LED display indicates a fully charged battery.

Ensure the battery is installed correctly by checking that the battery connector pads are aligned with the connector pins on your iPAQ. If any of the connector pins appear to be damaged, contact your service provider.

How can I improve the standby time and talk time on my iPAQ?

Your iPAQ will consume more power when the signal reception is poor. Try to move to an open location when you use your iPAQ.

If you are using a new battery, it might take several charging and discharging cycles to reach its optimal capacity. Use your iPAQ after charging the battery completely. The solid green LED display indicates full battery charge.

Do not overcharge or completely discharge the battery, as it might damage the battery and reduce standby and talk time.
