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 device, 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 HP Desktop Cradle. When you travel, it is recommended that you carry the AC Adapter, Charger Adapter plug, or an optional spare battery with you.

ÄCAUTION: 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.
