Installing the main battery
The HP Jornada Standard Battery provides power to your
HP Jornada while it is not connected to AC power. Under
normal operating conditions, the battery should provide
power for up to 7 hours; however, battery life will vary
depending on how you use your HP Jornada.
The main battery fits into the bottom of your HP Jornada,
as shown in the following diagram.
This bottom view of the HP Jornada shows how to
install the main battery.
To install the main battery
1. Place the main battery in the battery slot on the
bottom of your HP Jornada and push firmly until it
snaps into place.
After you install the main battery, your HP Jornada will turn on automatically. However,
you should connect the AC adapter and activate the backup battery before using your
device.
The main battery should be partially charged when removed
from the box. However, you should charge the main battery 
						

							Chapter 2  |  Getting started  |  17
fully before operating your HP Jornada on battery power.
Charging the main battery takes approximately 3.5 hours.
When the battery is fully charged, charging stops automati-
cally; the battery will not overcharge if left connected to AC
power.
Do not mutilate, puncture, or dispose of batteries in fire. The batteries can burst or
explode, releasing hazardous chemicals. Replace batteries only with the types
recommended in this User’s Guide. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Connecting the AC adapter
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 to 240 V, enabling you to
connect to AC power anywhere in the 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.
Use only the supplied AC adapter (model HP F1279A, input
specifications 100-240 V AC, 50-60 Hz, 1.4 A).
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: red indicates that battery
is charging, and green indicates that the battery is charged
to full power.

The AC adapter includes two parts:
the power cable and the adapter.
To connect to AC power
1. Connect the cable from the AC adapter to the DC
jack on the right side of your HP Jornada.
2. Connect the power cable to the AC adapter.
3. Plug the power cable into an AC power outlet.
Activating the backup battery
The 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 while you replace the main battery
or while you connect to AC power to recharge. The  3-V
CR2032 coin-cell backup battery is preinstalled. When you
begin using your HP Jornada, you do not need to remove the
cover plate or install the backup battery—simply activate
the backup battery by using the following procedure. 
						

							Chapter 2  |  Getting started  |  19
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. (For detailed
instructions on replacing the backup battery, see the Managing battery power
section in chapter 7.)
To activate the backup battery
1. Remove the yellow sticker from the bottom of your
HP Jornada.
2. Pull out the tape that protrudes from the battery
compartment.
Using the stylus and touch screen
Use the stylus in much the same way you would use a
mouse to navigate and select objects on screen. You can also
use your fingertip to tap the touch screen, but the stylus
provides the greatest accuracy.
For convenience, the stylus is stored in the stylus slot on the
front of the HP Jornada. To remove the stylus, push on the
stylus to release the catch as you slide it out of the slot.
The top of the stylus pops up to make it easy to remove the stylus. Pressing the top has
no effect on the stylus function.
To navigate by using the stylus, follow these tips
•Instead of clicking the mouse, simply tap the stylus on
the touch screen to select an icon or activate a button.
•Double-tap instead of double-clicking the mouse.
•Hold down the alt  key as you tap instead of right-
clicking the mouse.
To replace the stylus, insert the pointed end of the stylus
into the slot and push until it clicks into place.

Following the Welcome Wizard
After you install the main battery, your HP Jornada will
turn on automatically. At startup, the Hewlett-Packard
welcome screen appears. Then, after a few moments, the
Windows CE Welcome Wizard begins. The Welcome Wizard
presents a brief orientation that helps you to calibrate the
touch screen and configure device settings such as the World
Clock and Owner Identification.
Before you begin working, you may need to adjust the
brightness and contrast of the display to compensate for
different lighting conditions and viewing angles. You can use
the keyboard to adjust both contrast and brightness.
To adjust screen brightness and contrast
1. To adjust the contrast, hold down the alt key as you
press 
 or  .
2. To adjust the brightness, hold down the 
alt key as
you press 
 or  .
To maximize battery life, minimize the brightness setting and then adjust contrast to
achieve readability.
The following sections describe the Welcome Wizard. To
complete the Welcome Wizard, follow the instructions
displayed in the taskbar area at the bottom of your screen.
After you complete the Welcome Wizard, you can begin
using your HP Jornada.

If your HP Jornada freezes during operation, you may need to perform a soft reset. To
reset, use the stylus to press the reset button located on the left side of the HP Jornada
keyboard. Your HP Jornada will restart automatically. Unsaved data in any open
documents will be lost. For more information, see the Resetting section in chapter 8.
Calibrating the touch screen
Before you can use the stylus to navigate, you must cali-
brate the touch screen to align the image on the screen with
the touch-sensitive coating. The first screen of the Welcome
Wizard prompts you to calibrate the touch screen by tapping
a series of targets at different locations on the screen.
From time to time, you might notice that the accuracy of
your stylus tap diminishes. When this happens, you can
return to this screen to calibrate your touch screen.
To calibrate the touch screen
1. On the Start menu, point to Settings, tap Control
Panel, and then double-tap the Stylus icon.

Selecting your Home City
Windows CE displays current time and regional information
for the city you designate as your “Home City.” Tap the city
nearest your home from the drop-down list on the Home
City tab. If your city is not listed, you can use the World
Clock control panel to add it later. (See the World Clock
topic in online Help.)
Setting the World Clock
Windows CE uses the system clock to monitor your alarms
and appointments as well as to ensure proper synchroniza-
tion of the most current files and appointments with your
desktop PC. So make sure you set the correct time and date.
To set the time, type the current time in the box below the
clock face, or drag the hands on one of the clocks to the
correct time. To set the date, tap the current date on the
calendar. (Tap

Adding owner information
You can set Windows CE to display owner information, such
as your name, address, and telephone number. You can also
type a note to be displayed; for example, offering a reward for
the safe return of your HP Jornada. To display your owner
information each time you start your HP Jornada, select the
Display Owner Identification check box under At
Power On.
You can change the information you type here at any time
using the Owner control panel. (See the Settings topic in
online Help.)
Configure modem for your country
By default, the built-in modem in your HP Jornada (model
680 only) is set for use in the United States. To use your
modem in another country, you must first set the modem
configuration using the HP country selector application.
When you complete the Welcome Wizard, HP country
selector starts automatically and prompts you to select your
country. To comply with your country’s regulatory require-
ments, you should select the correct country. If you travel
with your HP Jornada, be sure to use HP country selector to
change the configuration before using the modem. For more
information, see the Traveling with your HP Jornada
section in chapter 7.
