Installing the battery
The main battery powers the HP Jornada when it is not connected to AC power. The battery fits into a compartment on the bottom of the HP Jornada, as shown in the figure.
This view of the left side of the HP Jornada shows how to insert
the battery.
To install the main battery
1. Unpack the main battery.
2. Open the battery compartment. Insert the tip of the stylus into the battery door release. Slide the battery door open toward the bottom of the P/PC.
3. Insert the bat tery pack into the battery compartment. If the battery does not slide in easily, check the battery orientation and try again. If you are putting the battery in correctly, you do not need to force it.
4. Slide the battery door closed until it locks into place.
5. The HP Jornada turns on automatically. The first screen you see is the Hardware Button instruction screen. It describes the location and function of the HP Jornada’s hardware buttons. Press the Action button to continue.
6. Connect to AC power as described in the next section.
Page 18
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
Page 19
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.

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.

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.

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.

Using ChannelsUsing Channels
A channel (or mobile channel) is a Web site or other Web­formatted content that is available for offline viewing on your P/PC. Channels allows Internet, intranet, or other Web­formatted content to be automatically downloaded to your P/PC from your desktop computer via s y nchronization. For mor e information on synchronizing channels, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer and see the Synchronizing data section in chapter 6.
Content can be updated on a regular basis, such as updates from a news channel, or on a one-time basis, such as movie listings from an entertainment channel.
Channels and automatic updates to them are managed on the desktop computer by Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. Use Internet Explorer on your desktop computer to view channels offline.
Requirement for mobile channels support
Microsoft Internet Explo rer 4.0 or higher Internet Explorer 5.0 is included on the Desktop Software for
Microsoft Windows CE compact disk. Internet Explorer 5.0
Page 62
56 Hewlett-Packard Jornada 430/430se Palm-size PC
requires 56 to 98 MB of hard disk space and a 486/66 or higher processor. Service Pack 3 or higher is required for Windows NT systems (also included on the CD).
Getting started with channels
A special Web site has been set up to help you get started using channels. For information on getting started with channels on your P/PC, go to:

Page 87
Chapter 9 | Managing information and calculations| 81
The first 21 characters of the first line of typed text are u sed as the note name.
If no text is included in the note, but the note has been assigned to a folder, the notes are given the folder name and an incremental number (Tradeshow1, Tradeshow2, and so on).
If no text is included and no folder is assigned, the notes are named Note1, Note2, etc.
To name a note yourself, to place it in a folder, or to change the file format, tap File and then Save As.
Each note in Note Taker is a file. Note Taker files are saved in Note Taker (.pwi) format, wh ich synchronizes with Mic rosoft Word files, as described in Chapter 6. You have two add itional choices for file formats:
To import the file into a program that supports rich text, save the note in Rich text format (.rtf). Handwritten words and drawings are lost.
To import the file into a program that does not support rich text, save the note as a Text only note (.txt). Handwritten words and drawings, and all formatting, are lost.
Organizing your notes
You can keep track of your notes by renaming them and placing them in folders. For example, you can create a folder called My Novel and place all relevant notes in that folder. All the notes in the selected folder appear in the list view.

Adjusting memory
If your P/PC runs out of memory while recording, you hear several beeps and see an out-of-memory message on your screen. You can adjust the allocation of memory on your P/PC by tapping Start, Settings, System, and then the Memory tab.
If you run out of memory frequently, use a CompactFlash Memory Card for storing files that you rarely need. For more information on CompactFlash Memory Cards, see the Inserting and Removing CompactFlash Cards section in chapter 10.
To save a recording to a CompactFlash card
1. Tap the Tools menu, and then tap Options.
2. On the General tab, tap the Save to storage card check box, and then tap OK.
Voice Recorder uses approximately 300 bytes per second for recording, using the Mobile Voice format. For example, a 10­second note uses approximately 3K.
Choosing a recording format
You can record your voice in either the PCM or Mobile Voice format. PCM format is the default format.
PCM files are larger than Mobile Voice files, but they sound better. Mobile Voice files are compre ssed and approximately 25 times smaller than the original size. This enables you to store more recordings, although the sound quality is less than optimal.
To switch between the PCM and Mobile Voice formats, tap Tools and then tap Recording Format.
Your recordings are saved as .wav files, which you can transfer to your desktop computer for playback, editing, and archiving. You need desktop software that can play .wav files, and you need the same codec used to make the recording. You can get the Mobile Voice codec by installing ActiveSync (see the Installing
Page 91
Chapter 9 | Managing information and calculations| 85
ActiveSync section in chapter 6) or go to the following Web site: www.microsoft.com/windowsce/info/.
If you want to e-mail your recording from your P/PC, use the PCM file format.
Organizing recordings
Your recordings are saved automatically and given the names Recording1, Recording2, and so on, by default. These recordings are listed in the Voice Recorder window.
To quickly rename a recording
1. Tap the recording to select it.
2. Tap it again, and then enter the new name.
You can organize your recordings by renaming them and placing them in folders. For example, you can create a folder called My Novel and place all relevant recordings in that f older.
If you display recordings for a particular folder in the Voice Recorder window, any new recordings you make while that folder is selected are placed in that folder. They are given the folder name and an incremental number (My Novel1, My Novel2, and so on).
Backing up and restoring data
Backing up and restoring data
Backing up and restoring dataBacking up and restoring data
To prevent loss of data, you should back up the HP Jornada data frequently. You can back up the HP Jornada two convenient ways:
Use ActiveSync to back up all data to your desktop PC.
Page 92
86 Hewlett-Packard Jornada 430/430se Palm-size PC
Use the HP backup application to back up all data or only Calendar, Task, and Contact (PIM) databases to internal memory or a CompactFlash Card.
Using ActiveSync Backup at your PC
The ActiveSync Backup feature creates a complete duplicate of all data stored on the HP Jornada. If you routinely connect to your desktop PC, this is the best method of data backup. The backup file is saved on the hard disk of your desktop PC.
When you restore data from a backup file created by ActiveSync, all data on the HP Jornada is replaced by the data in the backup file, including files you have created, programs you have installed, and any system settings and options you have set.
To access the ActiveSync Backup feature, click Backup/Restore on the Tools menu in the ActiveSync window.
Using HP backup
HP backup provides a convenient way to back up data while you are traveling or while you are away from your desktop PC. You can back up the information to a CompactFlash Card for secure storage. You can also back up data to a folder on the HP Jornada. However, this does not preserve the information if you lose power or need to perform a full reset.
The backup file (.dbe or .dbb) is always placed in the My Documents directory. When saving to a CompactFlash Card, a My Documents directory is automatically created.
To back up data
1. On the Start menu, tap Settings, and tap HP backup.
2. Tap Backup, and then choose one of the backup options:
Select Backup all data to back up all information stored in RAM, including files you have created, programs you have installed, and any system settings and options you have set.
Select Backup PIM databases to back up only your Contacts, Tasks, and Calendar databases.
Page 93
Chapter 9 | Managing information and calculations| 87
3. Follow the instructions on your screen to complete the backup process.
To restore from a backup file
1. On the Start menu, tap Settings, and tap HP backup.
2. Tap Restore.
3. Tap either Restore all data or Restore PIM databases.
4. Select the backup file you want to restore, and then tap OK.
The HP Jornada must have the same regional settings when you restore as you had when you completed the backup. Otherwise, you cannot restore the files. To change regional settings, on the Start menu, tap Settings, and then tap Regional Settings.
