Manually Monitor the Battery
You can manually monitor the battery power.
1. From the Start menu, tap Settings.
2. Tap System, then Power.
3. Tap OK.
Charge the Battery
Because your iPAQ Pocket PC uses some power to maintain files 
in memory and the clock, you need to recharge the battery 
regularly.
The best policy is to keep the iPAQ Pocket PC connected to your 
computer when working at your desk and carry your AC Adapter 
and charger adapter plug with you when traveling.
Your iPAQ Pocket PC is shipped with a partial charge on the 
battery. You may want to ensure that it is fully charged before 
synchronizing.
Ä
CAUTION: Because most of the applications and data you install on 
your iPAQ Pocket PC are held in memory, you will need to reinstall 
them if the battery completely discharges.
We recommend that you fully charge the battery prior to 
synchronizing with your personal computer.
Charge with the AC Adapter
You can charge your iPAQ Pocket PC using the AC Adapter and 
the charger adapter. The AC Adapter works in any standard 
electrical outlet.
