Chapter 2 | Setting up| 11 Installing the battery The main battery powers the HP Jornada when it is not connected to AC power. The battery fits into a compartment on the bottom of the HP Jornada, as shown in the figure. This view of the left side of the HP Jornada shows how to insert the battery. To install the main battery 1. Unpack the main battery. 2. Open the battery compartment. Insert the tip of the stylus into the battery door release. Slide the battery door open toward the bottom of the P/PC. 3. Insert the battery pack into the battery compartment. If the battery does not slide in easily, check the battery orientation and try again. If you are putting the battery in correctly, you do not need to force it. 4. Slide the battery door closed until it locks into place. 5. The HP Jornada turns on automatically. The first screen you see is the Hardware Button instruction screen.

12 Hewlett-Packard Jornada 430/430se Palm-size PC Before using battery power, charge the battery overnight by connecting the AC adapter (see the Connecting the travel cable and AC adapter section in this chapter). While charging, you may see backup battery low messages. These do not appear once the battery is fully charged. If you do not charge overnight, the backup battery low messages may continue to appear. You can use the P/PC while charging. About the backup battery The rechargeable backup battery is a permanent part of the HP Jornada, so you do not need to install or replace it. The backup battery is being charged automatically when the P/PC is connected to AC power. Make sure you connect to AC power to charge as soon as you see a backup battery low warning. Continue to charge until the backup battery level is “good” (check the Status tab of the Power panel; see the Using the Status tab section in chapter 3). Do NOT replace your main battery when the backup battery is low. Connecting the travel cable and AC adapter You can operate the HP Jornada on AC power using the AC adapter. The AC adapter accepts voltages from 100 V to 240 V, so you can use it anywhere in the world. However, you may need a plug adapter to accommodate different electrical outlets.
