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.
Inserting the Battery To insert the removable/rechargeable battery in the HP iPAQ hw6500 Mobile Messenger series: First remove the battery cover of the device by pressing down on the battery cover latch 1 and sliding the cover down 2 and off of the device.
Removing the Battery CAUTION: Before removing the battery, use iPAQ Backup or ActiveSync to back up data on your HP iPAQ. If you need to clear the memory during the removal process, you will be able to restore the data. To prevent losing information, you can also copy user-installed applications to the iPAQ File Store folder.
CAUTION: Because most of the applications and data you install on your HP iPAQ are held in memory (RAM), you will need to reinstall them if the battery completely discharges or if the battery is removed from the unit for more than 15 minutes. Otherwise, when fully charged, the internal backup battery will save the user installed data for up to 15 minutes when the standard battery is removed.
Charging with the AC Adapter The standard AC Adapter works in a standard electrical outlet. You can also charge your HP iPAQ in your automobile with an automobile adapter that works in your vehicle’s electrical cigarette lighter or a 12-volt power outlet.
Plug the AC Adapter into an electrical outlet 1 and connect the other end of the AC Adapter to the AC connector on the cradle 2. Slide the bottom of your HP iPAQ into the cradle 3 and push firmly to seat it.
NOTE: HP recommends that you power off your HP iPAQ while using the USB charging feature. If your HP iPAQ 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 light since it is not charging.
