Chapter 1 Setting Up Your Palm™ Tungsten™ T Handheld
6
Windows 95 and NT users cannot use a USB cradle/cable and port. You must use
a cradle with a serial port connection (sold separately).
Step 2: Charge your handheld
a. Place your handheld in the cradle/cable for two hours for an initial charge.
Your handheld’s indicator light glows steady green when it is charging.
b. After is it is charged, remove the handheld from the cradle/cable by gently
tilting it forward and then lifting it from the cradle/cable.
Once your handheld is setup and in daily use it requires about 15 minutes of
charge time for each hour of use. To keep the battery fully charged, we recommend
placing your handheld in a cradle/cable that is connected to a power source
whenever you are not using it.
Step 3: Set up your handheld
a. Press the power button to turn on your handheld.
If your handheld did not turn on, see “Operating problems” in Appendix B.
b. Gently press the top of the stylus to release it from the slot, and then remove it
from the slot.
