3 Managing the Battery Your iPAQ Pocket PC is shipped with a rechargeable battery that is partially charged. It is recommended that you fully charge the Pocket PC battery before setting up the device, 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 AC Adapter connected through the HP Desktop Cradle.
Managing the Battery Installing the Battery To install the removable/rechargeable battery: 1. To remove the battery cover, press the battery release latch down 1, then swing the battery door up and remove it from the device 2.
Managing the Battery 2. Insert the right side of the battery into the right side of the battery compartment, then press the left side of the battery into place 3.
Managing the Battery 3. Insert the top of the battery cover into the top of the battery compartment 4. 4. Press the bottom of the battery cover into place until it clicks 5. Ä CAUTION: The cover must be in place for the Pocket PC to operate. If the battery cover is not in place when you press the Power button, the Pocket PC will not power on. Note: If the battery is fully discharged, you must connect the AC Adapter to the Pocket PC to fully charge it before continuing.
Managing the Battery Removing the Battery Ä CAUTION: Before removing the battery, use iPAQ Backup or ActiveSync to back up data on your Pocket PC. Note: If you remove or replace the battery, your HP iPAQ will perform a soft reset. Be sure to close all applications and save data before removing the battery. To remove the battery: 1. Press the battery release latch down 1. 2. Swing the battery door up and remove it from the device 2.
Managing the Battery 3. Lift the left side of the battery up and remove it from the Pokcet PC. Ä CAUTION: Because most of the applications and data you install on your Pocket PC are held in memory (RAM), you will need to reinstall them if the battery completely discharges or if the battery is removed from the device for more than a few minutes. Otherwise, when fully charged, the internal backup battery saves the user-installed data for up to 15 minutes when the standard battery is removed.
Managing the Battery To purchase an optional Automobile Adapter, refer to the HP Web site at: www.hp.com/go/ipaqaccessories. Ä CAUTION: Use only HP recommended AC adapters. To charge your Pocket PC using the AC Adapter: 1. Insert the AC Adapter plug into the AC Charger adapter 1. 2. Plug the AC Adapter into an electrical outlet 2. 3. Insert the AC Charger adapter into the bottom of the Pocket PC 3.
Managing the Battery 4. When the Power button indicator on the front of the Pocket PC 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 with the HP Desktop Cradle and AC Adapter Use the HP Desktop Cradle to charge your Pocket PC.
Managing the Battery Note: The amber charge light on the front of the Pocket PC blinks while the battery is recharging and turns solid amber (nonblinking) when the battery is fully charged. Charging with the HP Desktop Cradle and USB Cable An alternative method of charging the Pocket PC is to charge the device by using a USB cable.

Using Security Features Working with Fingerprints HP ProtectTools suggests fingers for you to use during the swiping activity. You can select a different finger at any time. To select a different finger, tap the finger you want to swipe in the Hand icon. The new finger is highlighted in light blue. Note: It is recommended that you NOT enroll pinky fingers since they can be difficult to enroll. Enrolling fingerprints from your dominant hand tends to be easier.
Using Security Features To enroll a fingerprint: 1. On the Fingerprint screen, use the diagram to tap the finger that you are going to enroll. 2. Swipe the selected finger, as instructed.
Using Security Features Note: Maintain a firm, consistent pressure against the sensor when swiping a finger. One way to do this is to press your thumb against the bottom of the iPAQ Pocket PC while swiping your index finger. You should begin the swipe at the first joint of your finger and continue downward with a smooth slow motion, taking one to two seconds to complete the swipe. If you need additional assistance at any time, tap the Training button. 3.
