Adding fonts
Your HP Jornada comes with a selection of built-in fonts.
You can add Windows fonts (.fon files) or TrueType fonts (.ttf
files) to your HP Jornada for use in Pocket Word documents
and Pocket Excel spreadsheets. Because fonts take up a
significant amount of storage memory, install only the fonts
you need, and delete those you do not need. (The built-in fonts
cannot be deleted.)

Using PC Cards and CompactFlash Cards
PC Cards and CompactFlash Cards provide a wide range of
additional functionality, such as additional memory, remov-
able storage, connection to an external monitor, or connec-
tion to a network. Many cards have been tested specifically 
						

							128  |  HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
for compatibility with the HP Jornada. For a list of recom-
mended compatible cards, go to the Hewlett-Packard 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 CE operating system should be included with
the card or be available from the card’s manufacturer.
Install software drivers as you would any other software or
program. For more information, see the Installing pro-
grams section in this chapter.
Non-memory CompactFlash Cards that require a cable connection (for example, network
interface cards, pagers, or modem cards), must be inserted in the PC Card slot rather
than the CompactFlash Card slot. To insert a CompactFlash Card into the PC Card slot, you
will need a PC Card adapter. For a list of recommended PC Card adapters, go to the
Hewlett-Packard Web site at www.hp.com/jornada.
Installing a PC Card or CompactFlash Card
The HP Jornada 680 and 680e use a unique expansion
module to accommodate both PC Cards and CompactFlash
Cards in a small, portable size. You can install either a PC
Card or CompactFlash Card, or install both cards at the
same time.
Many PC Cards use considerable power, and can quickly drain your battery. Connect to AC
power while using PC Cards.
PC Card and CompactFlash memory modules appear as
folders in the My Handheld PC folder. If you have two cards
installed, the folder called Storage card1 represents the first
card you installed, and the folder called Storage card2
represents the second card. In some cases, additional folders
may appear; for example, Storage card3, Storage card4,
etc. You can eliminate unused folders by performing a soft
reset. (For more information, see the Resetting section in
chapter 8.)

Do not use excessive force when opening the expansion module or when installing or
removing a PC Card or CompactFlash Card.
Using the auto run feature
Your HP Jornada includes an auto run feature, which
enables you to automatically start a program stored on a PC
Card or CompactFlash Card simply by inserting the card
into your HP Jornada. This feature is designed for use by
advanced users.
To use the auto run feature, create a text file named
Autorun.inf and copy the file to the PC Card or
CompactFlash Card. The Autorun.inf file contains the
command to start a single program that is also stored on the
PC Card or CompactFlash Card.
To create an auto run file
1. Install the PC Card or CompactFlash Card contain-
ing the program you want to run automatically. (See
instructions earlier in this chapter.)
2. In Pocket Word, create a document containing the
following text:
[autorun.sh3]
open=filename.exe
where filename.exe is the name of the program (.exe
file) in the root directory of the PC Card or Compact-
Flash Card.
3. On the File menu, tap Save As.
4. Under Name, type autorun.
5. Under Type, select Unicode Text Document.
6. Browse to the root folder of the PC Card or Compact-
Flash Card, and then tap OK. 
						

							132  |  HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
7. In Windows Explorer, browse to the root folder of the
PC Card or CompactFlash Card.
8. Select the file Autorun.txt, and then tap Rename on
the File menu.
9. Rename the file Autorun.inf.
The next time you insert the PC Card or CompactFlash
Card, the program you named in the Autorun.inf file will
start automatically.
To prevent the program on the PC Card from starting automatically, hold down the shift
key as you insert the PC Card or CompactFlash Card.
Managing memory
The memory on your HP Jornada is allocated between
storage memory and program memory. You can specify how
much of the total memory is used for storage and how much
is used for running programs. If you notice that your
HP Jornada is running slowly or that your programs do not
run consistently, try increasing program memory. If you
need more memory for files and documents, increase storage
memory.
To adjust memory allocation
1. Exit any applications that are running.
2. On the Start menu, point to Settings, and then tap
Control Panel.
3. Double-tap the System icon.
4. On the Memory tab, move the slider to the left to
increase program memory, or move the slider to the
right to increase storage memory.
You may be able to make more memory available by refresh-
ing your system memory. 
						

							Chapter 7  |  Optimizing your HP Jornada  |  133
To refresh your system memory
1. Close all open documents and exit any applications
that are running.
2. Use the stylus to press the reset button on the left
side of the keyboard, performing a soft reset.
For more information, see the Resetting section in
chapter 8.
The Recycle Bin on your HP Jornada desktop works in the
same way as the Recycle Bin on your desktop PC. When you
delete a file on your HP Jornada, the file is moved to the
Recycle Bin. It is not actually removed from memory until
you empty the Recycle Bin.
You can set options that limit the amount of memory
reserved for the Recycle Bin or to bypass the Recycle Bin and
delete files immediately.
To set Recycle Bin options
1. Hold down alt as you tap the Recycle Bin icon.
2. On the pop-up menu, tap Properties.
Tips for conserving memory
•Synchronize only one or two weeks of Calendar data and
only selected Contacts or Tasks. (For more information, see
the Synchronizing selected data section in chapter 3.)
•Set options in Inbox to download only message headers
and not to download attachments. (For more information,
see the Using Inbox section in chapter 6.)
•Use Application Manager to remove programs you do not
need (see the Installing programs section in this
chapter).
•Remove fonts, sounds, and wallpaper you do not need. 
						

							134  |  HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
•Delete files and voice memos you do not need, or transfer
them to your desktop PC for storage and delete them from
your HP Jornada.
You can increase the storage memory by adding a memory module on a CompactFlash or
PC card. For more information, see the Accessories section in this chapter.
Managing battery power
Because the data and files you save on your HP Jornada are
stored in RAM, it is extremely important that you maintain
a continuous power supply to your HP Jornada at all times.
If your HP Jornada runs out of power, all information you
have entered will be lost. The Windows CE operating system
and programs are stored in ROM, and cannot be erased;
however, any programs you have added and custom settings
in existing programs will be lost.
Data stored on a PC Card or CompactFlash Card will be saved, even if your H/PC loses
power. To protect your data, back up regularly to a PC Card or CompactFlash Card by
using HP backup.
HP Jornada uses two types of batteries. The main battery
supplies power whenever your HP Jornada is not connected
to AC power. The backup battery protects your data when
the main battery is not installed (for instance, while you
exchange the main battery).
Main battery
The main battery is the HP Jornada Standard Battery, a
rechargeable lithium ion battery pack. Use only the
HP Jornada Standard Battery (HP F1281A) or the
HP Jornada Extended Battery (HP F1282A) with your
HP Jornada. These batteries are designed only for use with
the HP Jornada 680/680e and should not be used to power
other devices.
