Charging the Battery
There are several ways to charge the battery on your HP iPAQ including:

Charging the Battery with the AC Adapter
The standard AC Adapter works in a standard electrical outlet. You can also charge your HP iPAQ in your automobile with an optional Automobile Adapter that works in your vehicle’s electrical cigarette lighter or a 12-volt power outlet.
To purchase an optional Automobile Adapter, refer to the HP Web site at: www.hp.com/go/ipaqaccessories.
CAUTION: Use only HP recommended AC adapters.
To charge your HP iPAQ using the AC Adapter:
1.Insert the AC Adapter plug into the AC Charger adapter.
2.Plug the AC Adapter into an electrical outlet.
3.Insert the AC Charger adapter into the bottom of the Pocket PC.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging your HP iPAQ or the AC Adapter, check to be sure all connectors are properly aligned before connecting them.
4.When the Power button indicator on the front of the HP iPAQ turns solid amber, the device is fully charged and you can disconnect the AC Adapter. The approximate time to fully charge a drained battery is four hours.
NOTE: A standard battery can be charged in about four hours; an optional extended battery takes longer.

Charging the Battery with the HP Desktop Cradle and AC Adapter
Use the HP Desktop Cradle to charge your Pocket PC.
NOTE: It is not necessary to synchronize your HP iPAQ before charging it.
To charge your HP iPAQ using the HP Desktop Cradle:
1.Plug the AC Adapter into an electrical outlet and connect the other end of the AC Adapter to the AC connector on the HP Desktop Cradle.
2.Slide the bottom of your HP iPAQ into the HP Desktop cradle and push firmly to seat it.
CAUTION: To avoid damaging your HP iPAQ or the cradle, check to be sure the HP iPAQ and cradle connectors are properly aligned before pushing the HP iPAQ into the HP Desktop Cradle.
NOTE: The amber charge light on the front of the HP iPAQ blinks while the battery is recharging and turns solid amber (nonblinking) when the battery is fully charged.
Continued
Charging the Battery with the HP Desktop Cradle and USB Cable
An alternative method of charging the HP iPAQ is to charge the device by using a USB cable. However, because this charging method drains the
host battery (i.e., laptop), you must enable USB charging on the HP iPAQ before you can charge the device.
To charge your HP iPAQ using the HP Desktop Cradle and USB Cable:
1.Turn on USB charging by tapping Start > Settings > System tab > Power on the HP iPAQ.
2.Select the USB Charging tab, and then check Use USB
Charging.
3.Tap OK once USB Charging has been enabled.
4.Connect one end of the USB sync cable to the bottom of the HP iPAQ.
5.Connect the USB cable to an available USB port on your USB powered device, such as a laptop computer.
NOTE: The HP iPAQ charges slower when using an USB cable than with an AC Adapter.
If the battery won’t stay charged, try the following:
•Always keep the HP iPAQ connected to the AC Adapter when you are not using it.
•In the backlight settings, adjust the bar to a lower level to conserve more battery power.
•Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use.
Continued
Manually Checking the Battery Charge Level
To manually monitor the battery power:
1.Tap Start > Settings > System tab.

If the battery charge level is low, connect to AC power using the HP Desktop Cradle and the AC Adapter, or change the battery. For information on purchasing an optional standard or extended battery, visit the HP Web site at www.hp.com/go/ipaqaccessories.
To use a shortcut to view your battery charge level, tap the Battery icon located in TodayPanel Lite.
