Managing the Battery
Charging Over a USB Connection
You can charge your iPAQ Pocket PC with a USB connection to
a personal computer or notebook computer using the
Synchronization Cradle without an AC Adapter connected, or by
using an optional USB Autosync Cable. Insert the Pocket PC into
the cradle and connect the cradle to your personal computer or
notebook computer, or connect the Autosync Cable to the Pocket
PC and your personal computer or notebook computer. The
Pocket PC will charge using power from the computer.
NOTE:
HP recommends that you power off your iPAQ Pocket PC
while using the USB charging feature. If your Pocket PC is
powered on, your device will consume more current than is being
supplied by the USB charging and the main battery will not be
charged. During this state, the charging LED will not blink since
it is not charging.
To enable USB charging:
1. From the
Start
menu, tap
Settings > System
tab >
Power
icon >
USB Charging
tab.
2. Select
Use USB Charging.
