"Certain CompactFlash (CF) cards may cause fast battery drain on the iPAQ Pocket PC h2200 series than other CF cards, even when the iPAQ Pocket PC is turned off. This issue occurs when CF cards such as the Audiovox RTM8000 and RTM8000D - Tri Band GSM/GPRS CompactFlash Card or the Convergent Technology GSM/GPRS CompactFlash Card, are left in the CF slot."
HP is working on a fix for this issue. In the mean time, if you have a GSM/GPRS card, you may want to remove it after each use to prevent your battery from draining and possible data loss.
