after a few moments, the Welcome Wizard begins. The Welcome
Wizard presents a brief orientation to Microsoft Windows for

select your city and time zone.
14 | hp Jornada 560 series personal digital assistant User’s Guide
Powering Your hp Jornada
Because the data and files you save on your hp Jornada are stored in
RAM, maintaining a continuous power supply to the hp Jornada at all
times is extremely important. If your hp Jornada runs out of power, all
information stored in RAM is lost. The preinstalled programs will not be
deleted even if your hp Jornada suffers a loss of power; however, any
custom settings and programs you have added will be erased.
To safeguard data against loss in the event of power failure, you can save or
back up files to the hp safe store folder. The hp emergency backup application
automatically saves your PIM databases to the hp safe store folder. For more
information, see “Backing Up and Restoring Data” and “Managing Memory” in
chapter 6.
Your hp Jornada receives power from three sources: the main battery, the
backup battery, and the ac power adapter. The following sections
describe these sources. For tips on extending battery life, see “Managing
Power” in chapter 6.
Main Battery
The hp Jornada lithium-polymer battery pack (the main battery) provides
power to your hp Jornada while it is not connected to ac power. Under
typical usage conditions (if you do not use the backlight), the fully charged
main battery should provide power for up to 14 hours of use. Actual
battery life will vary depending on how you use your hp Jornada. Some
functions, such as listening to music, using the backlight, or operating
CompactFlash cards, use considerable power and may reduce this time
significantly.
The hp Jornada extended battery pack, which offers twice the battery life of the
standard battery, is available as an optional accessory.
The main battery is charged whenever your hp Jornada is connected to an
ac power source—either the ac adapter or the USB cradle. Connect your
hp Jornada to ac power or place it in the cradle when it is not in use, to
Chapter 2 | Getting Started | 15
W
u
ensure that the battery is fully charged when you need to take it with you.
Charging the main battery takes approximately 3.5 hours. When the
battery is fully charged, charging stops automatically; the battery will not
overcharge if left connected to ac power.
hen the main battery charge is low, a low battery warning is displayed. If yo
see a low battery warning message, connect to ac power and charge the main
battery immediately to avoid draining the backup battery, and prevent possible
data loss.
Backup Battery
The CR-2032 coin-cell 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 for up to
1 day after the low main battery warning is displayed. Connect to ac
power to recharge the main battery.
The backup battery is not recharged while your hp Jornada is connected to
ac power. When you see a warning message indicating that the backup
battery is low, you should replace the backup battery as soon as possible.
To replace the backup battery, follow the instructions in step 2 under
“Using Your hp Jornada for the First Time,” earlier in this chapter.
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.
Do not mutilate, puncture, or dispose of batteries in fire. The batteries can burst
or explode, releasing hazardous chemicals. Discard used batteries according to
the manufacturer’s instructions.
AC Power
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 V to 240 V, enabling you to connect to ac power anywhere in the
16 | hp Jornada 560 series personal digital assistant User’s Guide
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.
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: amber indicates that the battery is charging, and green indicates
that the battery is fully charged.
If you will not be using your hp Jornada for an extended period of time, be sure
to charge the main battery fully (or connect to ac power) before you store your
hp Jornada.
Turning Your hp Jornada On and Off
One of the most convenient features of hp Jornada is “instant on.” With
instant on, there is no waiting for your hp Jornada to start up or shut down;
you can start working immediately by pressing the power button or one of
the hp hot keys.
You can also turn on your hp Jornada simply by tapping the touch screen. On
the Power Preferences page in hp settings, select the Tap screen to power
on check box.
When you are finished working, turn off your hp Jornada by pressing the
power button. By default, your hp Jornada will turn off automatically after
1 minute of inactivity if it is not connected to an ac power source. You can
use the Power control panel to change these settings. On the Start menu,
tap Settings, tap the System tab, and then tap the Power icon.
Using the Hardware Buttons
The hardware buttons on your hp Jornada (that is, the buttons on the
device itself, rather than buttons or icons that appear on the display) can
each be used to perform several functions, such as turning on your hp
Jornada or starting a particular program.
Chapter 2 | Getting Started | 17
The features associated with each button are described below. In addition,
most buttons can be reassigned or configured to start a program that you
designate. For more information, see “Configuring Hardware Buttons” in

Caring for Your hp Jornada
When treated properly, your hp Jornada will be a reliable personal digital
assistant. Follow these tips to ensure long and trouble-free use of your hp
Jornada:
• Protect the screen. Pressing too hard on the touch screen may
damage the screen. Use the stylus to tap the hp Jornada screen to
avoid scratches or damage to the screen. To clean the screen, use a
small amount of commercial glass cleaner sprayed on a soft cloth.
Avoid spraying the screen directly.
Be sure to turn off your hp Jornada before cleaning the touch screen. If your hp
ornada is set to power on when you tap the screen, change this setting before
you clean the touch screen.
20 | hp Jornada 560 series personal digital assistant User’s Guide
• Do not drop your hp Jornada. Dropping your hp Jornada can
cause damage to delicate components such as the display. Accidental
damage is not covered under the warranty.
• Avoid radiated interference. Radiated interference from other
electronic equipment may affect the appearance of the display of your
hp Jornada. Removing the source of the interference will return the
display to normal.
• Avoid high temperatures. Your hp Jornada is designed to
operate at temperatures between 0 to 40 ºC (32 to 104 ºF).
Subjecting the device to temperatures outside this range may damage
the unit or result in loss of data. Be especially careful not to leave your
hp Jornada in direct sunlight or in a car where temperatures can rise
to harmful levels.
• Register your hp Jornada. To receive updates on exclusive
promotions, exciting new products, and accessories, register your hp
