Note: A fully dischar ged battery should recharge in approxi-

mately 2.5 hours. There i s no indication that the bat tery
is charging or is fully charged. Th e iPAQ must be used
to check the battery status.

2. Once battery is ful ly charged, the ex ternal power from the AC
adapter can be removed.

Expansion Pack Connected to an iPAQ

1. Insert the power plug from the AC adapter into the power
jack on the iP AQ or on the expansion pa ck, or place the t wo
units into a cradle that has the AC adapter power plug co n­nected.

2. The battery in the expansion pack will begin to charge only
after the battery in the iPAQ has become fully charg ed. The
iPAQ battery takes approximately 2.5 hrs. to charge wh en
fully discharged.

3. From the "Power" screen, the state of the expansion pack
battery can be found under the "External battery:" entry.

4. The expansion pack, when being charging, will have " Re­charging state:" and "Ch arging" state immediately ab ove the
bar graph on the iPAQ charging screen.

Note: Note that the bar graph will be continuously stepping

from 0 to 100% as the battery is char gin g.

5. Once the expansi on pack b attery is complete ly charge d, the
entry above the bar gr aph will change to read "Battery pow er
remaining:" and the ba r graph will be filled to 100%.

6. Once the expansi on pack b attery is complete ly charge d, the
external power from the AC adapter can be removed.

Inserting the iPAQ into the SPS 3000

1. Slide the iP AQ through the SPS 3000 sleeves to connect th e
iP AQ and SPS 3000.
