INSTALLING THE BATTERIES

The HP Palmtop PC requires two types of batteries to operate as a portable unit:

• Rechargeable Lithium-Ion main battery pack

• 1 CR2032 3-volt coin cell backup battery

To install the batteries:

Important

Install the main battery pack before installing the backup battery.

1. First, install the Lithium-Ion main battery pack by sliding the battery pack into

the battery compartment and snap it in place.

2. Charge the Lithium-Ion main battery pack by connecting the AC adapter to a

power source and to the AC adapter port on the palmtop PC.

Tips

• The orange LED Multifunction Record Key light on top of the palmtop PC

indicates that the main battery pack is being charged.

• You can use the palmtop PC while charging.

• The LED light turns green when the battery pack is fully charged, 5 hours.

• Do not press the LED Multifunction Record Key before completing the

Welcome Wizard.
