Getting Acquainted
To use your Compaq iPAQ™

effectively, start by learning how to
• register your Compaq iPAQ
Pocket PC
• set up your Compaq iPAQ
Pocket PC
• set up synchronization
• navigate through the interface
• enter information
Because your Compaq iPAQ
Pocket PC uses some power to
maintain files in RAM and the
clock, you need to recharge the
battery regularly. Keep the Compaq
iPAQ Pocket PC connected to the
cradle or the AC adapter while you
are at your desk. The best policy is
to keep the Compaq iPAQ
Pocket PC connected to your com-
puter when working at your desk
and carry your AC adapter with you
when traveling.
Your Compaq iPAQ Pocket PC is
shipped with a charge on the bat-
tery. You may want to ensure that it
is fully charged before synchroniz-
ing.
CAUTION: Because most of
the applications and data you
install on your Compaq iPAQ
Pocket PC are held in memory,
you will need to reinstall them if
the battery completely dis-
charges.
