CAUTION: To avoid damaging your HP iPAQ or the AC adapter, make sure all the metal connectors
are correctly aligned before connecting to the power source.
The battery provides power for your HP iPAQ to operate. Use the AC adapter to charge the battery
inside your HP iPAQ.
It takes approximately 2 to 4 hours to fully charge the battery for the first time. Charging might take more
time when your HP iPAQ is connected to a powered computer or with non-HP accessories.
To charge the battery:
1. Connect the AC adapter (input: 100-240VAC, 47-63Hz, output: 5VDC, 1A) to an electrical outlet.
2. Connect the other end of the cable to the Micro-USB connector port on your HP iPAQ. The cable
connector only fits one way. If the connector does not insert easily, turn it over.
TIP: You can also charge the battery by connecting your HP iPAQ to a USB port on your computer
through the Micro-USB synchronization cable. The HP iPAQ must be turned on for it to be charged
