Charging/Communications Port

The bottom of the HP iPAQ has a Charging/Communications Port, which
consists of a 22-pin connector. The 22-pin connector is used to connect
the HP iPAQ to a synchronization cable, cradle and the AC Charger
Adapter. If the 22-pin connector becomes damaged, you will not be able
to power on or communicate to the device. Therefore with your device
face up:
• Be sure that the 3 arrows (triangles) side of the adapter is face up
before inserting it into the connector.
• Press the sides at the end of the AC Adapter when inserting or
removing it from the Charging/Communications Port.
• Keep the device away from objects that may damage the
connector.

Battery Life

Depending on your frequency of use, it is recommended that you fully
charge and recharge your battery regularly. If you use your HP iPAQ often
throughout the day for e-mail, phone conversations, GPS navigation and
computing, you should recharge your battery regularly throughout the day.
If you use your device moderately throughout the day for phone
conversations and personal computing, you should be sure to charge your
device fully each day.
Your HP iPAQ uses some power to maintain files in RAM and the clock.
While working at your desk, keep your HP iPAQ and AC Adapter
connected via 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.
