12 Hewlett-Packard Jornada 430/430se Palm-size PC

Before using battery power, charge the battery overnight by connecting the AC adapter (see the Connecting the t ravel cable and AC adapter section in this chapter). While charging, you may see backup battery low messages. These do not appear once the battery is fully charged. If you do not charge overnight, the backup battery low messages may continue to appear. You can use the P/PC while charging.

About the backup battery

The rechargeable backup battery is a permanent part of the HP Jornada, so you do not need to install or replace it.

The backup battery is being charged automatically when the P/PC is connected to AC power.

Make sure you connect to AC power to charge as soon as you see a backup battery low warning. Continue to charge until the backup battery level is “good” (check the Status tab of the Power panel; see the Using the Status tab section in chapter

3).

Do NOT replace your main battery when the backup battery is low.

Connecting the travel cable and AC adapter

You can operate the HP Jornada on AC power using the AC adapter. The AC adapter accepts voltages from 100 V to 240 V, so you can use it anywhere in the world. However, you may need a plug adapter to accommodate different electrical outlets.

The travel cable and AC adapter

To connect to AC power

1. Unpack the AC adapter, then connect the power cable and the DC cable to the AC adapter body.

2. Connect the DC cable to the travel cable connector.

3. Plug the travel cable connector into the HP Jornada.

4. Plug the power cable into an AC power outlet.

Use the AC adapter to plug the HP Jornada into ex ternal power whenever possible, especially when connecting to a desktop PC or other peripheral, or when letting the LED indicator flash for extended time periods. For more information, see the Optimizing battery life section in chapter 3.

Running the Welcome Wizard

1. When you see the Microsoft Windows CE Welcome screen, press the Action button.

2. Open the display cover. The display cover must be open when you write or tap on the screen.

3. Using the stylus, tap and hold the center of the target. Repeat as the target moves around the sc reen. Press Action to accept the settings.

• Radiated interference from other electronic equipment may

affect the appearance of the display. To return the display to normal, remove the P/PC from the source of the interference.

• The HP Jornada is designed to operate at temperatures

between 0 to 40 ºC (32 to 104 ºF). It is designed to maintain data at temperatures between 0 to 55 ºC (32 to 131 ºF).

Subjecting the P/PC to temperatures outside those ranges may damage the P/PC or result in loss of data. Be especially careful not to leave the HP Jornada in direct sunlight or in a car where temperatures can rise to harmfu l levels.

This chapter explains the importance of maintaining power to the HP Jornada. It also explains how to:

• view the remaining battery power

• charge the batteries

• change the main battery

• use Power Properties

• conserve battery power

Maintaining power to the HP

Maintaining power to the HP Jornada

Maintaining power to the HPMaintaining power to the HP

Because the data and files you save on the HP Jornada are stored in RAM, it is extremely important that you maintain a continuous power supply to the HP Jornada at all times. If the HP Jornada runs out of power, all information you have entered is lost. Although the Windows CE operating system and programs are stored in ROM and cannot be erased, any custom settings and programs you have added are lost.

Jornada

Jornada Jornada

When taking out the main battery, keep in mind that when the P/PC is without power, data retention is guaranteed for only 1 minute, and only if the backup battery level is “good” (check the Status tab of the Power pane l ; s ee the Using the Status tab section in chapter 3). You do not need to take out the main battery except to replace it with a spare battery (F1287A).

The HP Jornada uses a rechargeable lithium-ion battery, which supplies power whenever the P/PC is not connected to AC power. Under normal operating conditions, the battery should last for up to 6 hours of continuous use without recharging. Battery life varies, however, depending on how you use the P/PC.

16 Hewlett-Packard Jornada 430/430se Palm-size PC

The rechargeable backup battery is a permanent part of the HP Jornada, so you do not need to install or replace it.

The backup battery is being charged automatically when the P/PC is connected to AC power. Continue to charge until the backup battery level is “good.” While charging, backup battery low messages may continue to appear.

Do NOT replace your main battery when the backup battery is low.

You should respond immediately when a message warning of low battery power is displayed. When the battery power is low, simply connect the HP Jornada to AC power to recharge.

Viewing the remaining battery power

Turning the HP Jornada 430/430se on and offTurning the HP Jornada 430/430se on and off

One of the most convenient features of Windows CE and the HP Jornada is “instant on.” With instant on, you do not have to wait for the P/PC to start up or shut down; you can start working immediately by pressing the On/Off button at the lower right corner of the P/PC.

Alternately, you can turn on the P/PC by:

• Pressing the Start button

• Pressing the Record button

• Holding the stylus down on one of the hard icons

• Tapping the screen

When you are finished, turn off the P/PC by pressing the On/Off button. Turning off the HP Jornada simply suspends operation. When you turn it on again, you can start working where you left off.
