16 | hp Jornada 920 series wireless digital assistant user’s guide

caring for your hp Jornada

When treated properly, your hp Jornada will be a reliable wireless 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. To avoid scratching or damaging to the screen, use only the stylus to tap the hp Jornada screen, and replace the stylus if it becomes dull. To clean the screen, use a small amount of commercial glass cleaner sprayed on a soft, lint-free cloth. Avoid spraying the screen directly.

You can purchase additional styli and screen protectors as optional accessories. For more information, see the hp Jornada Accessories 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.

• do not extend the antenna beyond 90 degrees.

• 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 Jornada at www.hp.com

chapter 1 | introduction | 17

managing power

Because the data and files you save on your hp Jornada are stored in RAM (random access memory), 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.

This section describes

• how to run your hp Jornada using the batteries or an ac power supply

• how to turn the phone and PDA functions on and off

• how to manage power to ensure you get the longest use of your hp

Jornada between charges

batteries

Your hp Jornada includes two rechargeable lithium-polymer batteries. The removable battery can be removed to allow access to the SIM card slot. The embedded battery cannot be removed; it provides power when the removable battery is not present.

How long you can operate your hp Jornada without recharging the batteries depends on the features and functions you use. If you use only the PDA functions (no phone functions, and without using the backlight), the batteries included with your hp Jornada will provide approximately 12 hours of use. If you use your hp Jornada only as a phone, the batteries will provide approximately 150–210 minutes of talk time or 120 hours of standby time. Note that some functions, such as listening to music, using the backlight, or using phone functions, use considerable power and may reduce this time significantly. In addition, factors such as your distance from the transmitter and the configuration used by your GSM/GPRS service provider may affect battery life when you are using the phone.

chapter 1 | introduction | 21

battery status messages and warnings

When your hp Jornada displays a dialog box warning of low power, you should respond as soon as possible by recharging the batteries. If you continue to use your hp Jornada until power reaches a critical low condition, a “Battery very low” message appears, and the hp Jornada shuts down automatically. You will be unable to use your hp Jornada until you connect to external power for charging.

The following table lists all battery-related warning messages, and associated status icons.

Message Meaning Icon

Main Battery Low To prevent possible data loss, replace or

recharge the batteries.

Battery Very Low Battery very low. Please close all applications

and recharge your batteries immediately. Main Battery Very Low

Embedded Battery Very Low Embedded Battery Empty

Removable Battery Removed Removable Battery Empty

Phone functions disabled. Cannot detect

removable battery in your hp Jornada.

Removable battery empty. Change to a charged

battery if available.

charging the batteries

The batteries are charged whenever your hp Jornada is connected to an ac power source—either the ac adapter or the sync cradle. Connect your hp Jornada to ac power or place it in the cradle when it is not in use, to ensure that the batteries are fully charged when you need to take it with you.

22 | hp Jornada 920 series wireless digital assistant user’s guide

Charging the batteries takes approximately three hours. When the batteries are fully charged, charging stops automatically; the batteries will not overcharge if left connected to ac power.

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 input voltages from 100 V to 240 V, enabling you to connect to ac power anywhere in the world. If 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 batteries are charged automatically. The color of the LED indicates the status of the batteries: amber indicates that the batteries are charging, and blue indicates that the batteries are fully charged.

If you will not be using your hp Jornada for an extended period of time, be sure to charge the batteries fully (or connect to ac power) before you store your hp Jornada.

turning your hp Jornada on and off

The PDA and phone functions of your hp Jornada are powered separately. That is, you can turn on only the phone or the PDA, or both at the same time.

turning on the pda

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 simply by pressing the power button.

chapter 1 | introduction | 23

You can also turn on your hp Jornada by pressing one of the hp hot keys or opening the auto cover. Use the hp auto cover application or the Power preferences page of the hp profiles application to set these options.

turning off the pda

When you are finished working, turn off your hp Jornada by pressing the power button. You can use the Power preferences page of the hp profiles application to change these settings.

Turning off the PDA does not turn off the phone.

turning on phone functions

You must turn on the phone before you can send or receive phone calls. In addition, you must have a subscription with a GSM/GPRS service provider, and you must install the SIM card provided by your service provider. For more information, see chapter 2.

To turn on the phone

Tap the numbers on the touch screen to enter your PIN and unlock the SIM.

turning off the phone

You can turn off the phone and wireless data functions to conserve battery power; however, you will be unable to receive incoming phone calls or browse the Web when the phone is off.

24 | hp Jornada 920 series wireless digital assistant user’s guide

To turn off phone functions

• Press and hold the End (red) button. –or– In the Command bar, tap

, and then tap Turn phone off.

managing power

Use the hp profiles to set power options. Use the Power control panel to check the status of the batteries and the current power source.

To check battery power

1. On the Start menu, tap Settings.

2. On the System tab, tap the Power icon.

The remaining power is displayed on a status bar in the Power control panel. If you are running on battery power, the status bar shows the combined (average) state of the removable and embedded batteries.
