    Using Your hp Jornada for the First Time 
     
    Follow these steps to begin using your hp Jornada: 
    1. Install the main battery. Align the main battery with the slots 
    on the back of your hp Jornada, and slide until it locks in place.  
     
    2. Install the backup battery. The CR-2032 coin-cell backup 
    battery is attached to the Quick Start Card. Use the stylus to hold 
    the backup battery lock in the OPEN position, and remove the 
    backup battery tray. Place the backup battery in the tray with the 
    + sign facing up. Slide the tray into its slot until it locks into place.  
     
      
    						
    							Chapter 2 | Getting Started | 13 
    3. Connect to ac power. Assemble the ac adapter, and connect 
    it to the dc jack on your hp Jornada. Do not disconnect your hp 
    Jornada from ac power until the green LED indicates that the main 
    battery is fully charged.  
     
    4. Follow the Welcome Wizard. The first time you start your hp 
    Jornada, the Hewlett-Packard Welcome screen appears. Then, 
    after a few moments, the Welcome Wizard begins. The Welcome 
    Wizard presents a brief orientation to Microsoft Windows for 
    Pocket PC, helps you align the touch screen, and prompts you to 
    select your city and time zone.

    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.
