14 | hp Jornada 560 series personal digital assistant User’s Guide Powering Your hp Jornada Because the data and files you save on your hp Jornada are stored in RAM, maintaining a continuous power supply to the hp Jornada at all times is extremely important. If your hp Jornada runs out of power, all information stored in RAM is lost. The preinstalled programs will not be deleted even if your hp Jornada suffers a loss of power; however, any custom settings and programs you have added will be erased. To safeguard data against loss in the event of power failure, you can save or back up files to the hp safe store folder. The hp emergency backup application automatically saves your PIM databases to the hp safe store folder. For more information, see “Backing Up and Restoring Data” and “Managing Memory” in chapter 6. Your hp Jornada receives power from three sources: the main battery, the backup battery, and the ac power adapter. The following sections describe these sources. For tips on extending battery life, see “Managing Power” in chapter 6. Main Battery The hp Jornada lithium-polymer battery pack (the main battery) provides power to your hp Jornada while it is not connected to ac power. Under typical usage conditions (if you do not use the backlight), the fully charged main battery should provide power for up to 14 hours of use. Actual battery life will vary depending on how you use your hp Jornada. Some functions, such as listening to music, using the backlight, or operating CompactFlash cards, use considerable power and may reduce this time significantly. The hp Jornada extended battery pack, which offers twice the battery life of the standard battery, is available as an optional accessory. The main battery is charged whenever your hp Jornada is connected to an ac power source—either the ac adapter or the USB cradle. Connect your hp Jornada to ac power or place it in the cradle when it is not in use, to
Chapter 2 | Getting Started | 15 ensure that the battery is fully charged when you need to take it with you. Charging the main battery takes approximately 3.5 hours. When the battery is fully charged, charging stops automatically; the battery will not overcharge if left connected to ac power. When the main battery charge is low, a low battery warning is displayed. If you see a low battery warning message, connect to ac power and charge the main battery immediately to avoid draining the backup battery, and prevent possible data loss. Backup Battery The CR-2032 coin-cell backup battery protects your data when the main battery runs out of power. The backup battery does not provide enough power to operate your hp Jornada, but it will preserve your data for up to 1 day after the low main battery warning is displayed. Connect to ac power to recharge the main battery. The backup battery is not recharged while your hp Jornada is connected to ac power. When you see a warning message indicating that the backup battery is low, you should replace the backup battery as soon as possible. To replace the backup battery, follow the instructions in step 2 under “Using Your hp Jornada for the First Time,” earlier in this chapter. To prevent loss of data, replace the backup battery as soon as a warning message appears on your screen indicating that backup battery power is low. Do not mutilate, puncture, or dispose of batteries in fire. The batteries can burst or explode, releasing hazardous chemicals. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s instructions. AC Power To avoid running out of battery power, you can operate your hp Jornada on ac power using the supplied ac adapter. The ac adapter accepts 100 V to 240 V, enabling you to connect to ac power anywhere in the
16 | hp Jornada 560 series personal digital assistant User’s Guide world. When you travel, you may need adapters to accommodate different electrical outlets, but the hp Jornada ac adapter will safely convert ac line voltage to the dc voltage required by your hp Jornada. While your hp Jornada is connected to ac power, the main battery is charged automatically. The color of the LED indicates the status of the battery: amber indicates that the battery is charging, and green indicates that the battery is fully charged. If you will not be using your hp Jornada for an extended period of time, be sure to charge the main battery fully (or connect to ac power) before you store your hp Jornada. Turning Your hp Jornada On and Off One of the most convenient features of hp Jornada is “instant on.” With instant on, there is no waiting for your hp Jornada to start up or shut down; you can start working immediately by pressing the power button or one of the hp hot keys. You can also turn on your hp Jornada simply by tapping the touch screen. On the Power Preferences page 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 power button. By default, your hp Jornada will turn off automatically after 1 minute 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. Using the Hardware Buttons 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 each be used to perform several functions, such as turning on your hp Jornada or starting a particular program.
