Using the Stylus

Your iPAQ Pocket PC comes with a stylus that you should use to tap or write on your screen.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to your iPAQ Pocket PC screen,

never use any device other than the stylus that comes with the Pocket PC or an approved replacement to tap or write on the screen. If you lose or break your stylus, you can order extras at www.hp.com/products/pocketpc/options.

Managing the Battery

Installing the Battery

The Pocket PC 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 immediately.

It is recommended that you fully charge the iPAQ Pocket PC battery before setting up the unit, 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 Charger Adapter connected through the USB Synchronization Cable. When you travel, it is recommended that you carry the A C Adapter, Charger Adapter plug, or an optional spare battery with you.

Your iPAQ Pocket PC is shipped with the battery partially charged.
