Insert the power plug from the AC adapter into the power jack on the expansion pack.Expansion Pack Power JackS24/LAN Only
6  SPS 3000 SCAN/LANNote: A fully discharged battery should recharge in approxi-mately 2.5 hours. There is no indication that the battery is charging or is fully charged. The iPAQ must be used to check the battery status.2. Once battery is fully charged, the external power from the AC adapter can be removed.Expansion Pack Connected to an iPAQ1. Insert the power plug from the AC adapter into the power jack on the iPAQ or on the expansion pack, or place the two     units into a cradle that has the AC adapter power plug con-nected.2.  The battery in the expansion pack will begin to charge only                    after the battery in the iPAQ has become fully charged. The iPAQ battery takes approximately 2.5 hrs. to charge when fully discharged.3. From the "Power" screen, the state of the expansion pack battery can be found under the "External battery:" entry. 4. The expansion pack, when  being charging, will have "Re-charging state:" and "Charging"  state immediately above the bar graph on the iPAQ charging screen.   Note: Note that the bar graph will be continuously stepping from 0 to 100% as the battery is charging.5. Once the expansion pack battery is completely charged, the entry above the bar graph will change to read "Battery  power remaining:" and the bar graph will be filled to 100%.6. Once the expansion pack battery is completely charged, the external power from the AC adapter can be removed.Inserting the iPAQ into the SPS 30001. Slide the iPAQ through the SPS 3000 sleeves to connect the iPAQ and SPS 3000.
7Quick Reference2. The iPAQ and SPS 3000 are joined when their expansion connectors are fully engaged. (You will hear a slight click.)To remove the SPS 3000, push up on the bottom of the iPAQ to disengage the expansion connector, then slide the iPAQ off the SPS 3000 sleeves.When inserting the iPAQ and SPS 3000 into the cradle, ensure that the retractable stabilizing arms located on the inside of the cradle are extended.
