How Do I Check the Battery Level?
To check the battery level, tap Start > Settings > System tab >
Power > Main tab. You can view the amount of battery power
remaining for both the main battery and the backup battery.
If the battery charge level is low, connect to AC power using
the desktop cradle or the sync cable, or change the battery. For
information on purchasing a spare battery or Extended Battery,
visit the HP Web site at www.hp.com/go/ipaqaccessories.

CAUTION: It is recommended that you not allow the battery
installed in your HP iPAQ to discharge completely. Doing so will not
harm your HP iPAQ or battery, but you lose all data that is not stored
in main memory. Discharging the battery completely is similar to
performing a hard reset. Refer to “How Do I Restore My HP iPAQ
Default Settings and Erase All My Data (Perform a Hard “Full”
Reset)?” in this document for more information.
