Learning about HP Jornada

Hewlett-Packard has taken mobile computing to new levels of
compatibility and convenience. With HP Jornada, youll
notice many benefits not found in other, similar computers.
For example you can:

 Move the data you already have on an older palmtop or

handheld PC to your HPJornada. You can transfer
information from older Windows CE devices and even
some nonWindows CE devices. (See the Transferring
PIM data from older palmtop PCs section in
chapter 3.)

 Use e-mail without a modem. Conveniently send e-mail

automatically when you synchronize with your desktop
PC. (See the Synchronizing data section in chapter 3.)

 Take more data with you. A desktop Microsoft Word file

may take up to 85 percent less space on your HP Jornada.
(See the Transferring files section in chapter 3.)

 Send voice messages to friends and colleagueseven those

who do not have Windows CE devices. You can save voice
messages in the compatible Wave audio format. (See the
Recording voice memos section in chapter 4.)

 Keep Word, Access, and Excel files stored at work and at

home synchronized. Update any file in any location, and
once you synchronize, the file will be updated in every place
it is stored. (See the Synchronizing data section in
chapter 3.)

 Read online news and information while offline, or down-

load Web pages for viewing later. (See the Browsing the
Web section in Chapter 6.)

 Work any time, any place, with up to 7 hours of battery

life. (See the Managing battery power section in
chapter 3.)

Chapter 1 | Welcome | 5

 Synchronize mail messages, contacts, appointments, and

tasks with your desktop or notebook PC in just a few steps.
(See the Synchronizing data section in chapter 3.)

 Carry your HP Jornada with you. The HP Jornada

weighs only 510 g (1.1 lb), including batteries.

 Expand your functionality with PC Card accessories.

(See the Accessories section in chapter 7.)

 Get it all in one package. Your HP Jornada comes

complete with a built-in modem (model 680 only).

HP Jornada is your mobile computing companion. Several
valuable features allow you to stay organized and in touch
while youre on the road. For instance:

 The HP Jornada viewer application displays PIM data

(contacts, calendar, and tasks) at a glance, allowing you
to navigate to or view the data you need immediately. You
can even view notes attached to appointments.

 The HP Jornada dialup application leads you through

the steps required to configure a dial-up connection and
to access your e-mail and the Web. When you are ready to
connect, just use the convenient dialup window on your
HPJornada desktop.

 The HP Jornada quick pad provides a convenient place to

jot down notes, names, telephone numbers, and other
data for short-term storage. Information can be saved in
quick pad for fast retrieval or sent to the appropriate
database for long-term storage.

 The HPJornada backup application can back up and

restore information to/from an optional CompactFlash
Card or PC Card, safeguarding against loss of data while
you are on the roadeven if power is lost.

HP Jornada programs

Your HP Jornada already includes the full suite of software
that you need to function as a mobile professional. Detailed

Setting up your HP Jornada

Follow the steps in this section to start using your
HPJornada for the first time. As part of the setup process,
you will install the main battery, activate the backup
battery, turn on the device, and complete the Windows CE
Welcome Wizard. To set up your HP Jornada, you will need
to have your HPJornada, the HP Jornada Standard Bat­tery, the AC adapter, and the power cable.

Follow these steps in the order they are presented. Do not activate the backup battery
before installing and charging the main battery.

16 | HP Jornada 680/680e Users Guide

Installing the main battery

The HP Jornada Standard Battery provides power to your
HP Jornada while it is not connected to AC power. Under
normal operating conditions, the battery should provide
power for up to 7 hours; however, battery life will vary
depending on how you use your HP Jornada.

The main battery fits into the bottom of your HP Jornada,
as shown in the following diagram.

This bottom view of the HP Jornada shows how to

install the main battery.

To install the main battery

1. Place the main battery in the battery slot on the
bottom of your HP Jornada and push firmly until it
snaps into place.

After you install the main battery, your HP Jornada will turn on automatically. However,
you should connect the AC adapter and activate the backup battery before using your
device.

The main battery should be partially charged when removed
from the box. However, you should charge the main battery

Chapter 2 | Getting started | 17

fully before operating your HP Jornada on battery power.
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.

Do not mutilate, puncture, or dispose of batteries in fire. The batteries can burst or
explode, releasing hazardous chemicals. Replace batteries only with the types
recommended in this Users Guide. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturers
instructions.

Connecting the AC adapter

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 to 240V, enabling you to
connect to AC power anywhere in the 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.

Use only the supplied AC adapter (model HP F1279A, input
specifications 100-240 V AC, 50-60 Hz, 1.4 A).

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: red indicates that battery
is charging, and green indicates that the battery is charged
to full power.

18 | HP Jornada 680/680e Users Guide

To connect to AC power

The AC adapter includes two parts:

the power cable and the adapter.

1. Connect the cable from the AC adapter to the DC
jack on the right side of your HPJornada.

2. Connect the power cable to the AC adapter.

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

Activating the backup battery

The 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 while you replace the main battery
or while you connect to AC power to recharge. The 3-V
CR2032 coin-cell backup battery is preinstalled. When you
begin using your HP Jornada, you do not need to remove the
cover plate or install the backup batterysimply activate
the backup battery by using the following procedure.

Chapter 2 | Getting started | 19

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. (For detailed
instructions on replacing the backup battery, see the Managing battery power
section in chapter 7.)

To activate the backup battery

1. Remove the yellow sticker from the bottom of your
HP Jornada.

2. Pull out the tape that protrudes from the battery
compartment.

Using the stylus and touch screen

Use the stylus in much the same way you would use a
mouse to navigate and select objects on screen. You can also
use your fingertip to tap the touch screen, but the stylus
provides the greatest accuracy.

For convenience, the stylus is stored in the stylus slot on the
front of the HP Jornada. To remove the stylus, push on the
stylus to release the catch as you slide it out of the slot.

The top of the stylus pops up to make it easy to remove the stylus. Pressing the top has
no effect on the stylus function.

To navigate by using the stylus, follow these tips

 Instead of clicking the mouse, simply tap the stylus on

the touch screen to select an icon or activate a button.

 Double-tap instead of double-clicking the mouse.
 Hold down the

To replace the stylus, insert the pointed end of the stylus
into the slot and push until it clicks into place.

Following the Welcome Wizard

After you install the main battery, your HP Jornada will
turn on automatically. At startup, the Hewlett-Packard
welcome screen appears. Then, after a few moments, the
Windows CE Welcome Wizard begins. The Welcome Wizard
presents a brief orientation that helps you to calibrate the
touch screen and configure device settings such as the World
Clock and Owner Identification.

Before you begin working, you may need to adjust the
brightness and contrast of the display to compensate for
different lighting conditions and viewing angles. You can use
the keyboard to adjust both contrast and brightness.

To adjust screen brightness and contrast

1. To adjust the contrast, hold down the

key as you

The following sections describe the Welcome Wizard. To
complete the Welcome Wizard, follow the instructions
displayed in the taskbar area at the bottom of your screen.
After you complete the Welcome Wizard, you can begin
using your HP Jornada.

Chapter 2 | Getting started | 21

If your HP Jornada freezes during operation, you may need to perform a soft reset. To
reset, use the stylus to press the reset button located on the left side of the HP Jornada
keyboard. Your HP Jornada will restart automatically. Unsaved data in any open

Calibrating the touch screen

Before you can use the stylus to navigate, you must cali­brate the touch screen to align the image on the screen with
the touch-sensitive coating. The first screen of the Welcome
Wizard prompts you to calibrate the touch screen by tapping
a series of targets at different locations on the screen.

From time to time, you might notice that the accuracy of
your stylus tap diminishes. When this happens, you can
return to this screen to calibrate your touch screen.

To calibrate the touch screen

1. On the Start menu, point to Settings, tap Control
Panel, and then double-tap the Stylus icon.
