Charging the battery
To use your handheld, you must connect the cradle and charge the
battery. See “Battery considerations” in Appendix A for tips on
extending the life of the battery.
Connecting the cradle
The cradle that comes with your handheld enables you to charge your
handheld battery and to synchronize the information on your
handheld using HotSync technology.
Note:
If your computer does not have a USB port, or it does not use
Mac OS 8.5 or later, you need a serial cradle to connect to your
computer. You can purchase a serial cradle from
www.handspring.com.
To connect the cradle:
1. Plug the AC adapter cable into the back of the cradle cable
connector.
2. Plug the cradle cable connector into the USB port or serial port on
your computer.
