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. Y ou 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.)
• T ake 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 W ave audio format. (See the Recording voice memos section in
chapter 4.)
• Keep W ord, 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 download Web pages
for viewing later. (See the Browsing the W eb 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.)
• 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.
Chapter 1 | Welcome | 5
• Expand your functionality with PC Card accessories. (See the Accessories
section in chapter 7.)
• Get it all in one package. Y our HP Jornada comes complete with a built-in

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.
Chapter 2 | Getting started | 13
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 fully before operating your
HP Jornada on battery power. Char ging 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 .
14 | HP Jornada 600 Series Users Guide
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 Users Guide. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturers
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 .
The AC adapter includes two parts:
the power cable and the adapter.
Chapter 2 | Getting started | 15
To connect to AC power
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.
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.
16 | HP Jornada 600 Series Users Guide
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
key as you tap instead of right-clicking the mouse.
alt
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 W elcome W izard 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
2. To adjust the brightness, hold down the

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
documents will be lost. For more information, see the Resetting section in chapter 8.
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

Selecting your Home City
Windows CE displays current time and regional information for the city you
designate as your “Home City.” Tap the city nearest your home from the
drop-down list on the Home City tab. If your city is not listed, you can use
the W orld Clock control panel to add it later. (See the W orld Clock topic in
online Help.)
Setting the World Clock
Windows CE uses the system clock to monitor your alarms and appointments as well as to ensure proper synchronization of the most current files
and appointments with your desktop PC. So make sure you set the correct
time and date. To set the time, type the current time in the box below the
clock face, or drag the hands on one of the clocks to the correct time. To set
the date, tap the current date on the calendar. (Tap or to change
month or tap the month or year.)
You can set the clock settings again later using the World Clock control

You can set Windows CE to display owner information, such as your name,
address, and telephone number. You can also type a note to be displayed; for
example, offering a reward for the safe return of your HP Jornada. T o display
your owner information each time you start your HP Jornada, select the
Display Owner Identification check box under At Power On.
You can change the information you type here at any time using the Owner
control panel. (See the Settings topic in online Help.)

only. To use the modem, you must first set the modem configuration using
the HP country selector application.
The HP country selector starts automatically after you have completed the
W elcome Wizard. (You can also start this application at any time by doubletapping the HP country selector icon in the Control Panel.)
In the HP country selector application, select the country where you purchased your HP Jornada. Do not select another country, and do not use the
HP Jornada built-in modem in a country other than the country of purchase.
If you travel to another country, it is recommended that you use a PC Card
modem that has been approved for use in that country to ensure that the
regulatory requirements are met. For a list of approved PC Card modems, go
to the HP Jornada Accessories page on the Hewlett-Packard Web site at
www .hp.com/jornada.

Using your HP Jornada
After you complete the W elcome Wizard, you can begin using your
HP Jornada and its built-in programs.
Welcome to Microsoft WindowsCE
Congratulations on purchasing a mobile device powered by the Microsoft
Windows CE operating system. The size and capabilities of your HP Jornada
let you keep your most important business and personal information up to
date and close at hand. Windows CE Services with ActiveSync™ increases
the power of your HP Jornada by letting you synchronize the information on
your desktop or notebook PC with your device.
Using the Start menu and Taskbar
Use the Start menu to open settings, online Help, recently used documents,
and programs such as the HP Applications. Just tap Start, and then tap the
program or item you want to open. In addition to the Start menu, the taskbar
contains buttons for the programs you have running, a status area, and a
desktop icon.
Using the command bars
Each program has a command bar located at the top of the program window.
The command bar displays both menu names and toolbar buttons. Tap the
slider and drag to switch between displaying toolbar buttons only or menu
names and toolbar buttons. You can drag the slider to display only the
buttons and menu names you want. You can also drag the slider down to
move the toolbar buttons under the menus.

Turning your HP Jornada on and off
One of the most convenient features of Windows CE and HP Jornada is
“instant on.” With instant on, there is no waiting for HP Jornada to start up
or shut down; you can start working immediately by pressing the On/Off key
on the upper right corner of the keyboard. When you are finished, turn off
your HP Jornada by pressing the On/Off key or by tapping Suspend on the
Start menu. Turning off your HP Jornada simply suspends operation. When
you turn it on again, you can resume working.
You can also set options in the Power control panel to turn your HP Jornada
on and off automatically . For example, you can set your HP Jornada to turn
on when you tap the touch screen or when you open the cover. To conserve
battery power, you can set HP Jornada to auto-suspend or to turn itself off
after a preset period of continuous idle time. By default, your HP Jornada will
auto-suspend after 3 minutes while running on battery power. (For more
information on these options and tips for conserving battery power, see the
Managing battery power section in chapter 7.)
