Working with audio files on a CompactFlash 
Card 
Because songs and audio files can use a lot of storage memory, you might 
want to store them on a CompactFlash card. When you store songs and audio 
files on a CompactFlash card, the files must be stored in a folder called My 
Documents. In addition, it is recommended that you use Microsoft Windows 
Media Manager for Pocket PC to transfer files from your desktop PC to the 
storage card, because Media Manager can automatically resolve security 
protocols for packaged content. For more information on installing a 
CompactFlash card and working with files on a storage card, see the 
CompactFlash cards section in chapter 8. 
 
 When you store songs and audio files on a CompactFlash card, the files must 
be stored in a folder called My Documents. 
 
 
Microsoft Reader 
Use Microsoft Reader to read electronic books (eBooks) on your HP Jornada. 
Download books to your desktop PC from eBook Web sites. Then, use 
ActiveSync to copy the book files to your Pocket PC. The books appear in the 
Reader Library.  
An eBook includes many features not available with a paper book. These 
options are available from any book page. You can add notes or bookmarks, 
highlight text, search for words or phrases, and copy text to use in other 
documents or messages.  
The Reader Guidebook is pre-installed on your HP Jornada, and contains all 
the information you will need to use Microsoft Reader. Open the Guidebook 
from within Microsoft Reader, as described below.  
To start Microsoft Reader 
1. On the Start menu, tap Programs, and then tap Microsoft Reader. 
Microsoft Reader displays the Library, a list of all the eBooks stored 
on your HP Jornada. 
2.  To open a book, tap the title in the Library list. 
The MSReader folder in the Extras folder on the ActiveSync CD-ROM 
contains sample books and a dictionary. Use ActiveSync to download the files 
from your desktop PC to your device as described in the Read Me file in the 
MSReader folder.

 When you have finished reading a book, you may want to delete it to conserve 
space on your device. If a copy of the book is stored on your desktop PC, you 
can download it again at any time. To remove a book from your device, tap 
and hold the title in the Library list and then tap Delete on the pop-up menu.

CompactFlash cards 
CompactFlash cards provide a wide range of additional functionality, such as 
additional memory, removable storage, connection to an external monitor, 
connection to a network, and modems. Many cards have been tested 
specifically for use with the HP Jornada. For a list of recommended cards, visit 
the HP Web site at www.hp.com/jornada
. 
Before you can use a particular card, you may need to install the software 
driver for that card. The software drivers for the Windows for Pocket PC 
operating system should be available from the card’s manufacturer. Install 
software drivers as you would install any other software or program. For more 
information, see the Adding or removing programs section in chapter 5. 
To install a CompactFlash card 
1.  Open the door to the CompactFlash slot. 
2.  Insert the CompactFlash card into the slot. 
 
If you are using a CompactFlash memory card or another card that does not 
require a cable, you can close the door to the CompactFlash slot while the 
card is installed in your HP Jornada. 
If you are using a CompactFlash Card modem or NIC, which requires a cable 
connection to the card, the cable connector will protrudes from the slot, and 
you cannot close the door. Slide the door into the casing of the device parallel 
to the CompactFlash card until it is recessed inside your HP Jornada.

Resetting your HP Jornada 
Occasionally, you may need to reset your HP Jornada; for example, you may 
reset after you restore data from your desktop PC or when the operating 
system stops responding. Resetting your HP Jornada is similar to restarting 
your desktop PC. It restarts the operating system and preserves any saved 
data, but you will lose any unsaved data. 
Reset after restoring data from a backup file or when the HP Jornada appears 
to be “frozen” or “locked up.” 
 When you reset, you lose unsaved data in all open documents or programs. Use 
HP task switcher to close all open documents and programs. (In the Today 
screen, tap the HP task switcher icon, and then tap Close Window and Close 
All on the pop-up menu.)   
 
To reset 
1.  Disconnect the sync cable or remove your HP Jornada from the 
cradle. 
2.  Remove the CompactFlash card (if installed).  
3.  Use the stylus to press the Reset button on the back of the HP 
Jornada, as shown in the following illustration.

Restoring factory defaults 
In some cases, such as when your HP Jornada does not respond after being 
reset or when you forget your password, you may need to restore your HP 
Jornada to the factory default settings. This erases all data you have entered, 
including all files, system settings, and programs you have installed.  
To ensure the safety of your information should it be necessary to restore the 
factory defaults, you should regularly back up your data to your desktop PC 
(using ActiveSync) or to a CompactFlash card (using the HP backup 
application). For more information on backing up data, see the Backing up 
and restoring data section in chapter 3. 
 
 Restoring the factory default settings erases all files, programs, and data you 
have entered. You can restore only data that has been backed up to your 
desktop PC or CompactFlash card. (For more information, see the Backing 
up and restoring data section in chapter 3.)

To restore the factory defaults  
1.  Disconnect your HP Jornada from AC power and disconnect from 
your desktop PC. 
2.  Use the tip of the stylus to press and hold the Reset button on the 
back of your HP Jornada. 
3.  While holding the Reset button, press the On/Off button. 
4.  Release the Reset button.  
5.  Press the On/Off button again to restart your HP Jornada. 
 
After you restore the factory defaults, you will need to complete the Welcome 
Wizard and re-establish a partnership with your desktop PC. You may also 
want to restore data to your HP Jornada from your most recent backup file. 
For more information, see the Using your HP Jornada for the first time 
section in chapter 2 and the Backing up and restoring data section in 
chapter 3. 
Basic problems 
If you have a specific problem, review the information below to see if you can 
quickly find the answer. Or, visit the HP Web site at www.hp.com/jornada
 for 
more information about common difficulties. 
Problem 
Diagnosis/Remedy 
HP Jornada does not turn 
on when not connected to 
AC power. Power is too low to run your Pocket PC. 
Connect to AC power, and then turn on your 
HP Jornada. (Charge the battery regularly to 
avoid running out of battery power.) 
Battery runs out of power 
quickly. You are using your HP Jornada in ways that 
drain power quickly.
 Use external power to 
charge and power your device whenever 
possible, especially when using a 
CompactFlash card that requires significant 
power (such as a modem card or NIC). 
For more information, see the Managing 
power section in chapter 5. 
HP Jornada does not auto-
suspend when connected to 
a desktop PC. The HP Jornada is designed to stay on 
while connected to a computer
. This is the 
correct behavior. No action is needed.
