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.) 
To add fonts 
1.  Connect your HP Jornada to a desktop PC, and then 
start Microsoft ActiveSync. 
2.  In Windows Explorer on the desktop PC, select the font 
files you want to copy. 
3.  Drag the font files to the Windows\fonts folder on your 
HP Jornada. If you are copying a Windows font, you will 
be prompted to select the point sizes and styles you want 
to copy.

Adding sounds 
Your HP Jornada can play Wave sounds (.wav files). You can 
copy a sound file from your desktop PC to your HP Jornada 
without converting the file. If you want to use a sound as part of 
a sound scheme or to signal an alarm or a reminder, copy the 
sound file to the Windows folder on your HP Jornada. For more 
information, see the Setting Alarms topic in online Help. 
Adding desktop wallpaper 
Your HP Jornada can display 65,536-color bitmap images (.bmp 
files) or MS Windows for H/PC 2000 bitmaps (.2bp files). You can 
copy bitmap images from your desktop PC to your HP Jornada 
without converting the files, and you can use these images as 
desktop wallpaper on your MS Windows for H/PC 2000 desktop.  
To add desktop wallpaper 
1.  Connect your HP Jornada to a desktop PC and start 
Microsoft ActiveSync. 
2.  Drag the bitmap image you want to copy from its

 Non-memory CompactFlash Cards that require a cable 
connection (i.e. network interface cards, pagers, or modem 
cards), must be inserted in the PC Card slot rather than the 
CompactFlash Card slot. To do this, you will need a PC Card 
adapter. For a list of recommended PC Card adapters, go to 
the HP Jornada Web site at www.hp.com/jornada. 
Installing a PC Card, CompactFlash Card or Smart Card 
The HP Jornada accommodates PC Cards, CompactFlash Cards 
and Smart Cards separately or in combination. 
 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 folders are displayed in the order they were inserted. In some 
cases, additional folders may appear. You can eliminate unused 
folders by performing a soft reset. (For more information, see the 
Resetting section in chapter 8.)

Managing memory
Managing memoryManaging memory 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 refreshing 
your system memory.  
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. Press the  key 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.  
  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. 
  Clear the cache in HP Chai VM, removing unneeded 
temporary files to free up storage memory. (See Clearing the 
HP ChaiVM cache in chapter 6 for detailed instructions.)  
 You can increase the storage memory by adding a memory 
module on a CompactFlash or PC card. For more information,

Because the data you save on your HP Jornada is 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 loses 
power, all information you have entered will be lost. The MS 
Windows for H/PC 2000 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 with 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 F1840A) with your HP Jornada. These batteries are 
designed only for use with the HP Jornada and should not be 
used to power other devices.  
Under normal circumstances, the main battery will provide up to 
9 hours of continuous use without recharging. Actual battery life 
will vary depending on screen brightness, what applications you 
use, and operating conditions. When the main battery runs very 
low, your HP Jornada will shut down, and you will be unable to 
restart it until you replace the main battery, recharge the 
battery, or connect to ac power. 
When you replace the main battery, your new battery must be 
charged before your HP Jornada will turn on. For information on 
charging the main battery, refer to the Connecting the ac 
adapter section in chapter 2.   
						

							126 HP Jornada 700 Series Handheld PC 
 
 Ensure that the backup battery is in good condition before you 
remove the main battery. If the backup battery is low or you 
are not sure, connect to ac power before you remove the main 
battery. 
To replace the main battery 
1.  Turn off your HP Jornada and disconnect the serial sync 
cable if it is attached, or remove it from the docking cradle 
(optional on the HP Jornada 710). 
2.  Slide the battery release tab on the bottom of the HP 
Jornada and hold it in the open position while pulling the 
battery pack away from the device. 
3.  Insert the replacement battery pack and push firmly until it 
clicks into place. 
Backup battery 
The coin-sized, lithium ion backup battery does not provide 
enough power to operate your HP Jornada. It is intended only to 
protect your data until the main battery is recharged (up to a 
week if the coin-cell battery is in good condition). When a low 
battery warning message is displayed, immediately charge the 
main battery to avoid data loss. 
 Ensure that the main battery is charged before you remove the 
backup battery. If the main battery is low or you are not sure, 
connect to ac power before you remove the backup battery. 
To replace the backup battery  
1.  Turn the Jornada upside-down and open the 
CompactFlash door. 
2.  Pivot the backup battery cover out of the way to 
completely expose the backup battery. 
The backup battery is under some spring tension. As you 
attempt to remove it, cover the battery with your fingers 
to prevent it from flying out of the compartment. 
3  With the stylus or some other small, blunt tipped 
instrument, gently pry the backup battery out of the
