Managing the Battery
Installing the Battery
If you remove the main battery from your iPAQ Pocket PC, your device does not operate even if you try to use AC power. However, the Pocket PC has a small internal backup battery that allows you to change the main battery without losing RAM data (user-installed programs and data) as long as it is replaced within 10 minutes. If the battery is removed from the unit for longer than 10 minutes, you will lose unsaved RAM data and need to reset the unit. It is recommended that you fully charge the iPAQ Pocket PC battery before setting up the unit, and recharge regularly. Your Pocket PC uses some power to maintain files in RAM and the clock. While working at your desk, keep the Pocket PC connected to the USB Synchronization Cradle/Charger. When traveling, it is recommended that you carry the AC Adapter, Charger Adapter plug, or an optional spare battery with you. Your iPAQ Pocket PC is shipped with the battery partially charged.

Problem
I cannot connect to my computer using the cable or the USB Synchronization Cradle/Charger.

Solution
Be sure you have installed Microsoft ActiveSync 3.7 or higher on your host computer before connecting your iPAQ Pocket PC to it. Be sure your iPAQ Pocket PC is connected to the sync cable or inserted in the USB Synchronization Cradle/Charger, and that the sync cable or cradle is connected to your computer. Be sure your iPAQ Pocket PC is securely seated in the synchronization cradle and is making contact with the cradle connector.
