Managing the Battery

13 Managing the Battery 

Your HP iPAQ is shipped with the rechargeable battery partially charged. 

It is recommended that you fully charge the HP iPAQ battery before 

setting up the unit, and recharge regularly. Your HP iPAQ uses some power 

to maintain files in RAM and the clock. While working at your desk, keep 

the HP iPAQ and AC Adapter connected through the HP iPAQ Cradle. 

When you travel, it is recommended that you carry the AC Adapter, 

Charger Adapter plug, or an optional spare battery with you.

CAUTION:  Use only an HP approved battery for your HP iPAQ. Inserting 

a battery that does not comply with HP requirements might cause the unit 

to malfunction and will void the HP iPAQ limited warranty.

The HP iPAQ has a small internal backup battery that (when charged) 

allows you to change the main battery without losing RAM data (user-

installed programs and data) as long as it is replaced within 15 minutes. 

Use the backup battery to “bridge” the time you need to re-install a new 

standard or extended battery or to find your serial number. You can check 

the charge level of the back up battery by referring to 

 in this chapter. The internal 

battery can only be removed by a qualified HP Technical 

Support Representative.

BATTERY SAVING TIP:  To ensure you always have battery power 

available, you can purchase an extra Standard Battery or Extended 

Battery. These batteries can be charged using the HP iPAQ. To purchase 

an extra battery, refer to the HP Web site at
