When treated properly, your HP Jornada will be a reliable desktop PC 
companion. Follow these tips to ensure long and trouble-free use: 
• Protect the screen. Pressing too hard on the touch screen may damage 
the screen. To protect the screen, keep your HP Jornada in the carrying 
pouch while you are not using it. You can also protect the screen with an 
optional screen protector or a color cover. For more information, see “HP 
branded accessories” in chapter 8.

Use the stylus to tap the HP Jornada screen to avoid scratches or 
damage to the screen. To clean the screen, use a small amount of 
commercial glass cleaner sprayed on a soft cloth. Avoid spraying the 
screen directly.  
 Be sure to turn off your HP Jornada before cleaning the touch screen.    
• Do not drop your HP Jornada. Dropping or jarring your HP Jornada can 
cause damage to delicate components such as the display. Accidental 
damage is not covered under the Hewlett-Packard express warranty.  
• Avoid radiated interference. Radiated interference from other electronic 
equipment may affect the appearance of the display of your HP Jornada. 
Removing the source of the interference will return the display to normal.  
• Avoid high temperatures. Your HP Jornada is designed to operate at 
temperatures between 0 to 40 ºC (32 to 104 ºF). Subjecting the device to 
temperatures outside this range may damage the unit or result in loss of 
data. Be especially careful not to leave your HP Jornada in direct sunlight 
or in a car where temperatures can rise to harmful levels.

Follow these steps to begin using your HP Jornada. 
1.

							Chapter 2 | Getting started | 13 
 
 
2. 
Reset your HP Jornada. Press the red Reset button on the back of 
your Pocket PC.  
 
 
3. 
Follow the Welcome Wizard. The first time you start your HP 
Jornada, the Hewlett-Packard Welcome screen appears. Then, after

presents a brief orientation to Windows for Pocket PC, helps you 
align the touch screen, and prompts you to select your city and time 
zone.  
4. 
Adjust the display. Before you begin, you may need to adjust the 
contrast and brightness of the display to a comfortable level. Press 
and hold the HP home menu hot key until HP settings appears, and 
then move the sliders for each setting. 
5. 
Register your HP Jornada. To ensure that you receive warranty 
coverage, technical support, and information on upgrades, register

One of the most convenient features of HP Jornada is “instant on.” With 
instant on, there is no waiting for HP Jornada to start up or shut down; you can 
start working immediately by pressing the On/Off button.  
 You can also turn on your HP Jornada simply by tapping the touch screen. On 
the 
Preferences tab in HP settings, select the 
Tap screen to power on check 
box.  
 
When you are finished working, turn off your HP Jornada by pressing the 
On/Off button. By default, the backlight will dim after 1 minute of inactivity, and 
your HP Jornada will turn off automatically after 3 minutes of inactivity if it is 
not connected to an ac power source. You can use the Power control panel to 
change these settings. On the 
Start menu, tap 
Settings, tap the 
System tab, 
and then tap the Power icon.  
 If you select 
Tap screen to power on,
 your HP Jornada may accidentally turn 
on when you slide it into the carrying pouch.

The hardware buttons on your HP Jornada (that is, the buttons on the device 
itself, rather than buttons or icons that appear on the display) can be used to 
start a particular program and to turn on your HP Jornada. The features 
associated with each button are described below. In addition, most buttons 
can be reassigned or configured to start a program that you designate. For 
more information, see “Configuring hardware buttons” in chapter 5.
