❏
When charging two completely discharged extended
batteries simultaneously (one battery on the Pocket PC
and one battery in the Synchronization cradle), turn off or
suspend your Pocket PC by pressing the Power button
once. This allows two drained extended batteries to be
charged within eight hours.
NOTE:
If the battery is completely discharged, it will power on
and will trickle charge for approximately 20 minutes when it is
connected to the AC Adapter or the Cradle. During this trickle
charge, the device will not operate if removed from the AC power
source and will not operate on main battery power. It is
recommended that you leave the device connected to the AC
power source long enough to power the device (approximately 30
minutes).
Charging with the AC Adapter
The standard AC Adapter works in a standard electrical outlet.
You can also charge your Pocket PC in your automobile with an
automobile adapter that works in your vehicle’s electrical
cigarette lighter or a 12-volt power outlet.
To purchase an automobile adapter, refer to the HP Web site at:

CAUTION:
Use only HP recommended AC adapters.
