    e.Windows NT users cannot use a USB cradle/cable and port. You must use a 
    cradle with a serial port connection (sold separately).
    Step 2: Charge your handheld
    a.Place your handheld in the cradle/cable for at least two hours for an initial 
    charge. Your handheld’s indicator light glows steady green when it is charging. 
    b.After is it is charged, remove the handheld from the cradle/cable by gently 
    tilting it forward and then lifting it from the cradle/cable.
    Once your handheld is setup and in daily use it requires about 15 to 30 minutes of 
    charge time per day, depending on usage. To keep the battery fully charged, we 
    recommend placing your handheld in a cradle/cable that is connected to a power 
    source whenever you are not using it. 
    Step 3: Set up your handheld
    a.Press the power button to turn on your handheld.
    If your handheld did not turn on, see“Operating problems” in Appendix B.
