Transferring files between your 
HP Jornada  
and your desktop PC 
You can copy files between your HP Jornada and desktop PC by dragging 
icons to or from the Mobile Device window or by using the Cut, Copy, and 
Paste commands on the Edit menu.  
Files created on your desktop PC may need to be converted before you can 
use them on your HP Jornada, and files created on your HP Jornada may 
need to be converted before you can use them on your desktop PC. By 
default, ActiveSync automatically converts files to the appropriate type; 
however, you can choose not to convert files, or you can choose to specify the 
conversions for each type of file by changing options in ActiveSync.  
To set file conversion options 
1.  Start ActiveSync on your desktop PC. 
2. On the Tools menu, click Options.  
3. On the Rules tab, click Conversion Settings. 
4.  To turn off automatic conversion, clear the Convert files when 
synchronized, copied, or moved check box. 
Backing up and restoring data 
To prevent loss of data, you should back up your HP Jornada frequently. You 
can back up your HP Jornada in two ways:  
• Use ActiveSync to back up all data to your desktop PC. 
• Use the HP backup application to back up all data or only your Contacts, 
Calendar, and Tasks databases (PIM data) to a CompactFlash card or to 
internal memory. 
 
 Backup files are not password protected, even if you have set a password for 
your HP Jornada. If you store sensitive information on your HP Jornada, 
protect the backup file as you would any other file that contains sensitive 
information.

Backing up data with ActiveSync 
When you back up your HP Jornada using Microsoft ActiveSync, the backup 
file contains all the files, databases, PIM information, and RAM-based 
programs on your Pocket PC. The backup file is stored on your desktop PC. 
If you have established a partnership between your HP Jornada and desktop 
PC, you can set ActiveSync to back up data automatically each time you 
connect. You can also back up your HP Jornada manually any time you want. 
ActiveSync lets you decide whether to back up all information each time, or 
only new and updated information.  
To back up data with ActiveSync 
1.  Connect your HP Jornada to your desktop PC. 
2.  In the ActiveSync window on your desktop PC, on the Tools menu, 
click Backup/Restore, and then click the Backup tab. 
3. Select either Full Backup (to back up all information every time) or 
Incremental Backup (to backup only new or updated information). 
4. Click Change to change the name of your backup file or to specify a 
location for your backup file. 
5. Click Back Up Now. 
Backing up data with HP backup 
The HP backup application gives you added flexibility in backing up your 
valuable data. With HP backup, you can back up all data or back up only your 
Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks databases (PIM databases). You can save the 
backup file to internal memory or to a CompactFlash card, so you can 
safeguard your data even while you are traveling or away from your desktop 
PC.  
 Backing up data to a file stored on your HP Jornada will not preserve your 
data if your Pocket PC loses power or if you restore your HP Jornada to the 
factory default settings. To ensure the safety of your data, it is recommended 
that you back up to a CompactFlash card or to your desktop PC. 
 
 
To back up data using HP backup 
1.  Use HP task switcher to close all running applications. (In the Today 
screen, tap the HP task switcher icon, and then tap Close Window 
and Close All on the pop-up menu.) 
2.  Disconnect your HP Jornada from your desktop PC.  
3. On the Start menu on your HP Jornada, tap Settings.  
						

							Chapter 3 | Connecting to your desktop PC | 39 
 
 
4. Tap the System tab, and then tap HP backup. 
5. On the Backup tab, tap Back up all data or Back up PIM 
databases. 
6. In the Name box, type a name for the backup file, and select a 
storage location from the drop-down list.  
7. Tap OK to start the backup. 
 
The backup file (.dbe or .dbb) is always saved in the My Documents folder. If 
you back up data to a CompactFlash card, a My Documents folder is 
automatically created. 
Restoring data 
When you use the backup file to restore information to your HP Jornada, 
information on the device is replaced with the information stored in the backup 
file. If you have created files on your HP Jornada since the last backup and do 
not want to delete these files during the restore process, move the files from 
your HP Jornada to your desktop PC before restoring information. You can 
restore data using ActiveSync or the HP backup application. 
Restoring data with ActiveSync 
 Restoring data from ActiveSync replaces all information stored on your HP 
Jornada. Any data added after the backup file was created will be lost.  
 
To restore data with ActiveSync 
1.  Connect your HP Jornada to your desktop PC.  
2.  Use HP task switcher to close all running applications on your HP 
Jornada. (In the Today screen, tap the HP task switcher icon, and 
then tap Close Window and Close All on the pop-up menu.) 
3.  In the ActiveSync window on your desktop PC, on the Tools menu, 
click Backup/Restore, and then click the Restore tab. 
4. Click Restore Now. Do not use your device until the restore process 
is complete. 
5.  Disconnect the sync cable or remove your HP Jornada from the 
cradle, remove the CompactFlash card (if installed), and reset your 
HP Jornada. See the Resetting your HP Jornada section in 
chapter 9.

Restoring incremental backups  
If you have made incremental backups, you must restore each backup file 
individually, starting with the original (full) backup and progressing in sequence 
from the oldest to the most recent.  
To select the backup file you want to restore, you must connect your HP 
Jornada to your desktop PC as a guest. If you have already established a 
partnership, you must delete the partnership on the desktop PC. (In 
ActiveSync, on the File menu, click Delete Partnership.) 
Restoring data with HP backup 
Use the HP backup application to replace all data on your Pocket PC or only 
data in your Contacts, Calendar, and Tasks databases (PIM databases) with 
data from an existing backup file.  
 Depending on the type of backup file, the restore operation replaces all 
information stored in your PIM databases or all data stored on your Pocket 
PC. Any data added after the backup file was created will be lost. 
 
 
To restore data with HP backup 
1.  Use HP task switcher to close all running applications. (In the Today 
screen, tap the HP task switcher icon, and then tap Close Window

Connecting your HP Jornada  
Your HP Jornada gives you several options for connecting to a remote 
computer. You can use an optional CompactFlash card modem, an infrared 
modem, or a mobile phone. Each of these methods requires purchase of a 
modem or adapter as an optional accessory. For more information about 
compatible modems and accessories, visit the HP Jornada Web site at 
www.hp.com/jornada
. 
Connecting with a CompactFlash card 
Your HP Jornada Pocket PC supports a variety of CompactFlash card 
modems and network interface cards (NICs). Whether you use a Compact-
Flash modem or CompactFlash NIC, the card must be a Type I CompactFlash 
card. For a list of compatible CompactFlash cards, go to the HP Jornada 
accessories page at www.hp.com/jornada
. 
Many NICs also require that you install a software driver. The card manu-
facturer must provide a software driver for the HP Jornada Pocket PC. Follow 
the card manufacturer’s instructions for installing the card and configuring the 
driver for use with your HP Jornada.  
						

							Chapter 4 | Connecting to the Internet | 43 
 
 
 The driver for the Socket Low Power Ethernet CF+ card NIC is pre-installed on
your HP Jornada.  
 
After you have installed and configured the card, the make and model of the 
card will appear in the list of modems or the list of network adapters when you 
create a new connection (see the Creating an ISP or network connection 
section in this chapter). 
When you are ready to connect, connect the CompactFlash card to an analog 
telephone line or a network connection using the appropriate cable. Follow the 
card manufacturer’s instructions to attach the cable to the port on the card.  
 Do not connect a CompactFlash modem to a digital telephone line unless it is 
specifically designed for use with a digital line.

Connecting with an infrared modem 
You can also use the infrared port on your HP Jornada to connect to the 
Internet or a remote computer via an IrDA-compatible infrared modem. When 
you create a new dial-up connection, select Generic IrDA modem from the 
modem list. Connect the modem to a phone line according to the manu-
facturer’s instructions, and align the infrared port on your HP Jornada with the 
infrared port on the modem before dialing the call. 
Connecting with a mobile phone  
If your mobile phone service supports remote data connection, you can use 
the mobile phone to connect your HP Jornada to the Internet or to a remote 
computer. Depending on the make and model of your mobile phone, you can 
connect your Pocket PC to the mobile phone using either a CompactFlash 
card interface or the infrared port.  
CompactFlash connectivity kit 
You may be able to obtain a Type I CompactFlash connectivity kit from the 
manufacturer of your phone, or from a third-party manufacturer. In either case, 
the kit must be designed to work with the specific model of your phone, and 
the manufacturer must provide a driver for use with the HP Jornada Pocket 
PC.  
After you have installed and configured the card, the make and model of the 
card will appear in the list of modems or the list of network adapters when you 
create a new connection (see the Creating an ISP or network connection 
section in this chapter). 
Via infrared 
If your mobile phone has a built-in IrDA-compatible infrared port (or if an 
optional infrared connectivity kit is available for your phone), you can use the 
infrared port on your HP Jornada to connect. When you create a new dial-up 
connection, select Generic IrDA modem from the modem list. Align the 
infrared port on your HP Jornada with the infrared port on the mobile phone 
before dialing the call. For detailed instructions on how to establish a wireless 
connection using a mobile phone, check the HP Jornada Web site at 
www.hp.com/jornada
. 
Creating an ISP or network connection  
To connect to a network or the Internet, you need an account with an Internet 
service provider (ISP), an account on your corporate network, or access 
permission to dial in to a specific computer.  
						

							Chapter 4 | Connecting to the Internet | 45 
 
 
For each account, you will need a user name and password provided by the 
ISP or account administrator. If you are connecting to a commercial ISP, you 
will also need to know the dialup telephone number and IP and DNS 
addresses (if required). 
If you plan to use the account to send or receive e-mail messages directly 
from your HP Jornada, you must also obtain the following information from 
your ISP or account administrator: 
• A user name and password for your e-mail account. (These may be 
different than the user name and password you use to connect.) 
• The name of the POP3 or IMAP4 server (for incoming messages). 
• The name of the SMTP server (for outgoing messages).  
Before you can use a modem to connect to an ISP or to dial in to a specific 
desktop PC, you must create a connection for that service on your HP 
Jornada. If you use an NIC to connect to a corporate network, you must 
configure your network connection. Your HP Jornada will recognize the 
connection once you attach the network cable to the NIC.  
To create a dialup connection (to an ISP or a specific 
PC) 
1.  Install a modem or NIC. For more information, see the Connecting 
your HP Jornada section in this chapter.  
2. On the Start menu, tap Settings, and then tap the Connections tab. 
3.  Tap the Modem icon. 
4. Tap New Connection. 
5.  Enter a name for the connection. The name can be anything you 
want, but it should describe the connection, for example, “corporate 
dialup.” 
6.  Select the make and model of your modem from the list. If your 
modem is not listed, it may be installed incorrectly. Refer to the 
manufacturer’s instructions to be sure. 
7.  Select the baud rate. The selected rate must be supported by both 
your modem and the ISP or network computer you will connect to. If 
you are not sure about rate, contact your account administrator. 
8.  If your ISP or account administrator provided specific settings, such 
as IP addresses, DNS addresses, or parity or flow control; or if your 
connection uses SLIP, tap Advanced, and enter this information on 
the appropriate tab. 
9. Tap Next, and then enter the telephone number you dial to connect 
to your ISP or network computer.  
10. Tap Next, and then set dialing options.
