Start menu, point to 
Settings, and tap 
Control 
Panel.

Identification tab, type your name, address, 
and/or phone number. 
4. On the 
Notes tab, type any other information  
you want displayed (for example a temporary

address or to offer a reward for the safe return of your 
HP Jornada).

Traveling with your HP Jornada
Traveling with your HP JornadaTraveling with your HP Jornada Traveling with your HP Jornada 
    
The compact size and portability of the HP Jornada make 
it the perfect traveling companion. With the 
synchronization and connectivity solutions of the HP 
Jornada, the power of your desktop computer is always at 
your fingertips, whether you are working from across town 
or from across the country. 
Follow the tips in the sections below to make sure your trip 
goes smoothly. 
What to take with you 
Be sure to pack everything you need to use your HP Jornada: 
 ac adapter and power cable—If you are traveling to a 
foreign country, be sure you also obtain an adapter for the 
plug on your power cable. Or, you may be able to buy a power 
cable for the country you are visiting in a local store or HP 
distributor. 
 Modem card and cable—If you do not have an HP Jornada 
with internal modem, you’ll need your PC Card modem
* to 
connect to the Internet or dial in to your office.  
 Access numbers—Check with your service provider or 
network administrator to find out if they provide local dial-up 
access. A local number can save plenty in long-distance 
charges. 
 Serial sync cable—If you will connect to a desktop PC at 
your destination, pack the sync cable. You do not need to take 
a docking cradle. 
  Extra main battery (F1281A)—Carry a spare in case you 
are stranded or unable to connect to ac power for a long period 
of time.  
 CompactFlash Card—Protect your data while you travel by 
backing up to a CompactFlash Card. 
                                                                
 * Modem purchased separately. Some Web sites/content may not be 
available.

Before you leave 
Before you put your HP Jornada in your briefcase, take a few 
minutes to prepare, and your trip will run smoothly.  
 Identify your HP Jornada—If you will be traveling for an 
extended period, update the owner properties to include your 
address or contact information at your destination. 
 Synchronize—Make sure your calendar, contacts, and tasks 
databases are up-to-date before you leave. Synchronize all 
items just before you back up and disconnect. 
 Back up your data—Perform a full backup to your desktop 
computer and to a PC Card or CompactFlash Card. Carry the 
storage card with you—if your HP Jornada loses power during 
the trip, you will be back up and running in no time. For more 
info, see the Backing up section in chapter 5. 
 Charge batteries—Make sure that your main battery is fully 
charged and that your backup battery is good. Use the Power 
control panel to check battery status, and connect to ac power 
if the main battery is low or replace the backup battery if it is 
low. For more information, see the Managing battery power 
section in this chapter.  
 Lock the audio buttons to prevent inadvertent 
activation of Windows Media Player—Slide the audio lock 
to the left, so the playback functions will not be activated by 
accident. 
 Set your desktop computer to allow dial-in—If you plan 
to dial in to your desktop computer or synchronize from your 
destination, make sure you prepare your desktop computer 
accordingly, and that no one will turn it off while you’re away. 
For details on setting up your desktop computer for remote 
synchronization, see the Synchronizing from a remote 
location section in chapter 3.
