Managing The Battery - HP iPAQ hw6500 series User Manual

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. Using
Ä
a battery not approved by HP will void the warranty. Inserting a battery
that does not comply with HP requirements may cause the HP iPAQ to
malfunction.
The HP iPAQ also has a small internal backup battery that allows
you to change the main battery without losing RAM data
(user-installed programs and data) as long as the main battery is
replaced immediately (within 15 minutes). The internal battery
can only be removed by qualified HP Technical Support.
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
