Fully charge the battery before starting to use your Pocket PC for the first time.
1. Fit the converter plug to the AC adapter (n). Connect the mini-USB end of
the AC adapter to your device (o) and the other end to a wall outlet (p).
2. The amber indicator glows when charging is in progress. Do not disconnect
your Pocket PC from AC power until the battery is fully charged, as

battery before it is discharged.
zIf you will not use the product for a long period of time, be sure to fully charge the
battery at least once every two weeks. Over discharge of the battery can affect the
charging performance.
