CAUTION: Because most of the applications and data you install on
your Pocket PC are held in memory (RAM), you will need to reinstall
them if the battery completely discharges or if the battery is removed
from the unit for more than 15 minutes. Otherwise, when fully charged,
the internal backup battery will save the user installed data for up to 15
minutes when the standard battery is removed. Before removing the
battery, check to see that the internal backup battery is fully charged by
tapping Start > Settings > System tab > Power Icon.
You do not need to reinstall applications and data installed in the iPAQ
File Store folder because they are saved in nonvolatile memory.
Charging the Battery
Battery Saving Tip: Leave your Pocket PC connected to AC
power at all times when you’re not using it.
Battery Saving Tip: You can program an Application Button
to turn off the screen when an MP3 is playing, saving battery
power used to run the screen. Tap Start > Windows Media >
Tools > Settings > Buttons. From the Select Function drop
down list, tap Screen Toggle. Press either the Calendar or
Inbox application buttons on the front of your iPAQ Pocket
PC, then tap OK.
Charging with the AC Adapter
The standard AC Adapter works in any household outlet. You
can also charge your Pocket PC in your automobile with an
automobile adapter that works in your vehicle’s electrical
cigarette lighter or a 12-volt power outlet.
To purchase a car adapter, refer to the HP Web site at:

CAUTION: Use only HP recommended AC adapters.
