Customizing Your HP Palmtop PC | HP Palmtop 620X, Palmtop 660LX

•Charge the main batteries as soon as possible after a low battery warning appears.

•Whenever possible, switch to AC power when you use high-power PC Cards (such as modem cards). Using these cards when the main batteries are low can cause data corruption or loss.

•Use the AC adapter while the palmtop PC is connected to a desktop PC. Don’t leave the Synch Cable attached while on battery power if you’re not actually exchanging data with the desktop PC.

•Avoid using sounds when your main batteries are low. Playing .wav files when the batteries are low can cause the unit to shut down, hence losing unsaved data.

•Don’t use battery power for dial-up connections. PC Card modems and other PC Cards require considerable power to operate. Always use AC power when making dial-up connections with a PC Card modem.

!Note

The HP Palmtop PC will not power on if the main batteries are very low.
