Keep the iPAQ Pocket PC connected to the universal cradle or the
AC Adapter while you are at your desk.
Getting Acquainted
Ä
The best policy is to keep the iPAQ Pocket PC connected to your
computer when working at your desk and carry your AC Adapter
and charging adapter plug with you when traveling.
Your iPAQ Pocket PC is shipped with a partial charge on the
battery. You may want to ensure that it is fully charged before
synchronizing.
CAUTION: Because most of the applications and data you install
on your iPAQ Pocket PC are held in memory (RAM), you will need to
reinstall them if the battery completely discharges.
We recommend that you fully charge the battery prior to
synchronizing with your personal computer.

To avoid damage to the connector pins when removing the charging
adapter from the bottom of the iPAQ Pocket PC, push the release
buttons located on each side of the adapter and pull.
Adjust the Standby Setting
You can adjust the portion of the battery devoted to the “standby
period.” Standby is your battery reserve that is used to protect the
data and applications stored in RAM.
During standby, the unit turns off so very little power is being
consumed. This helps to preserve programs and data stored in
the RAM.
✎
You can select a lower standby period if you use the Pocket PC
for extended periods of time. A lower standby period increases
the usable battery operating time.
You can select a higher standby period if you leave your
Pocket PC off for extended periods of time without recharging it.
A higher standby period decreases the usable battery time and
allocates it for standby usage.
For more information on using the Standby Setting, tap Help
from the Start menu.
To adjust the standby setting:
1. From the Start menu, tap Settings.
