Tips & Warnings
To conserve battery life, keep your HP iPAQ connected to an AC power source whenever you're not using it.
If you are frequently on the go, you might want to consider buying an AC adapter that plugs into your car's 12-volt power outlet or cigarette lighter.
Most of the applications and information on your Pocket PC are stored in RAM memory, so if you let your battery completely run out, or remove it from the iPAQ for an extended period, you may need to reinstall some things.
If you're using an AC adapter other than the one that was included in the box when you bought your iPAQ, make sure that the adapter is HP-recommended.
