Charging the Battery Using the AC Adapter
Attach the AC adapter to the Handheld’s external connector, then connect the power cord to an electrical outlet. Refer to Figure 5.
!
WARNING: Use only a Grayhill-approved AC adapter with the Handheld. Use of another AC adapter
may cause a fire or an explosion. Always connect the AC adapter first to the Handheld. Use the adapter with a properly grounded supply to avoid electric shock. Before plugging the power cord into the wall socket, make sure its voltage and frequency match that of the AC adapter. If using an extension cord with the AC adapter provided, ensure that the total current rating of the product does not exceed the current rating of the extension cord.

Field Swapping the Battery
The Handheld is designed to permit quick field swapping of the battery. It features ride-through technology that allows users a full 45 seconds to swap the battery without requiring a hard-boot of the system.
Figure 10 Handheld battery
Battery Charging and Usage Tips
The batteries that may be used with the handheld utilize smart charging and smart gauging technology. To see the status of the battery during discharge or charge, tap the Battery Icon in the lower portion of the display or simply open the Battery control panel applet. To avoid damaging the battery when the handheld is not in use for more than 24 hours, the battery should always be removed from the unit. Likewise, it should never be stored fully discharged or charged; rather, it is recommended that the battery be stored at roughly 50% capacity. Should the battery discharge completely and not be re-charged for long periods of time, its built-in recovery technology will minimize damage during re-charge. During this interval, the unit is in "Zero Volt Discharge" recovery mode and it may seem that the battery is taking longer than usual to charge. In fact, it may take several hours for the battery to recover and re-charge depending upon its state of discharge.

Choosing the ActiveSync Partnership Type
ActiveSync offers two ways to connect from the Handheld to your computer. These different types of connections are called partnerships. When installing, the next ActiveSync dialog asks you to choose either the Standard Partnership or the Guest Partnership. There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of pa rtnership (see Table, following page).

Table 3: Partnership Advantages & Disadvantages
Connection Type Advantages Disadvantages
Less Control: File updating is automatic; correct file updating is dependent on correct setup. Less Safe: Unintended file updates are possible.
More Lengthy Setup:
There are more questions to answer when first choosing this partnership. Doubly Wrong: If your regular computer’s clock is wrong, your Handheld’s clock will be wrong.
Synchronization Less Certain: Since file
updating is manual, there may be inconsistencies. Takes Longer: Manual updating requires attention to detail.
Slower Connections:
Each time you connect, ActiveSync will ask if you want a Guest or a Standard Partnership connection. Less Convenient: You cannot connect via wireless LAN.

Easier: Files on each computer are automatically synchronized. More Convenient: After the first time, you can connect from Handheld to PC via wired or wireless LAN. Faster: Subsequent connections are speedier, totally automatic. More Flexible: This partnership offers more file sharing options. In Sync: Your Handheld’s clock is automatically set to the time on your regular computer’s clock.
More Control: Files are manually moved/copied between computers. Safer: Since you’re in control of file synchronization, data cannot be inadvertently written over. Faster Setup: There are fewer questions asked when setting up this partnership type. Allows for Multiple Partners: This partnership is for use on shared or borrowed computers.

Standard Partnership
If ease of connecting and storing data is what you want, choose the Standard Partnership to have your data automatically synchronized each time you connect using ActiveSync. You can establish one Standard Partn ership with your regular computer, or you can establish two Standard Partnerships – perhaps one with your desktop computer, and one with your laptop.
Guest Partnership
Choose a Guest Partnership if you share a computer with someone else, or if you are borrowing someone else’s computer. You can set up multiple Guest Partnerships. If you can’t decide on a partnership type, establish a Guest Partnership while you evaluate the benefits of a Standard Partnership. Remember that, with a Guest Partnership, you can opt for a Standard Partnership connection each time you connect.
Indicating Your Partnership Choice
Once you have decided on the partnership type, click the checkbox next to the appropriate category, and click Next.
Choosing a Name for Your Handheld
Enter a unique name for your Handheld in the next dialog box, and click Next.
Selecting Information for Synchronization
If you have selected a Standard Partnership, the next dialog will ask you to indicate data type targets, such as the Calendar, Inbox, etc., that you would like automatically synchronized. Select the checkboxes next to data types you want ActiveSync to automatically synchronize. Deselect the checkboxes next to data types that are not to be automatically synchronized. To customize settings for each program, select the data type, then click the Settings… button. When finished, click Next.

file structure on your Handheld.
In the Explore window, the Handheld file structure looks and acts like the file structure as shown in the Windows
Explorer window on your PC.
Manually copy and paste files in between the two file structure windows.
With a Standard Partnership, ActiveSync automatically synchronizes the data types you selected for
synchronization, using any customized settings you chose.
To change ActiveSync’s data types or settings, click Tools, Options in the ActiveSync program
running on your regular computer.
Once synchronization has completed, open Windows Explorer and double-click the Explore icon to
view the file structure on your Handheld in order to review the files that ActiveSync has automatically updated for you.
