Charging The Battery - Handspring Treo 90 User Manual

Charging the battery

To use your handheld, you must connect the travel charger or the HotSync cable and charge the
battery. When you're near your computer, connect your handheld to the HotSync cable with the
travel charger connected to a wall outlet as shown in the section that begins on page 23. When
travelling, connect the travel charger cable directly to your handheld as shown in this section.
It takes about 90 minutes to charge the battery. A fully charged battery provides approximately
10 days of use. If the battery drains to the point where your handheld does not turn on, it stores
your data safely for about three days.
Note: Recharge the battery after the first low battery warning. This prevents data loss that can
occur if your handheld sits idle for more than five days after the first battery warning. See
Appendix A for tips on extending the life of the battery.
To charge the battery with the travel charger:
1. Plug the travel charger into a wall outlet.
2. With the word "UP" facing up (as shown), connect the travel charger cable to the charger
connector on the bottom of your handheld.
LED
Tip: The LED blinks green while your handheld charges. When the LED turns solid green, your
handheld is charged. It takes approximately 90 minutes to charge a fully drained battery.
