It is recommended that you do not allow the battery
installed in your iPAQ Pocket PC to discharge completely. Doing so
does not harm your Pocket PC or battery; however, you will lose all
data not stored in File Store (ROM). Discharging the battery
completely is similar to performing a hard reset. Refer to Chapter 1,
“Performing a Hard Reset” for more information.
