Charging the Batteries
Your Pocket PC contains a rechargeable lithium-ion main battery pack and a coin-cell
lithium backup battery. The main battery pack charges each time you connect the
Pocket PC to an external power source with an AC adapter.
• If the battery is low on charge, the battery icon appears on the command bar on the
Today screen. Tap the battery icon to display the Power control panel.
• If the battery gets very low, your Pocket PC displays a warning message. If this
occurs, save any unsaved data, use ActiveSync to perform a synchronization with
your desktop computer, and turn off your Pocket PC. Charge the battery. For help
using ActiveSync, see the ActiveSync online help on your desktop computer.
• If your Pocket PC shuts down, the backup battery will maintain your data for about
40 hours. However, you should immediately charge the battery.
To charge the main battery pack
• Use an AC adapter to connect the Pocket PC directly to an external power source.
Or,
Place the Pocket PC in the cradle and use an AC adapter to connect the cradle to an
external power source.
