When treated properly, your HP Jornada will be a reliable desktop PC companion. Follow these tips to ensure long and trouble-free use:

Protect the screen. Pressing too hard on the touch screen may damage the screen. To protect the screen, keep your HP Jornada in the carrying pouch while you are not using it. You can also protect the screen with an optional screen protector or a color cover. For more information, see “HP branded accessories” in chapter 8.

12 | HP Jornada 520 Series User’s Guide

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.

Do not drop your HP Jornada. Dropping or jarring your HP Jornada can cause damage to delicate components such as the display. Accidental damage is not covered under the Hewlett-Packard express 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.

Follow these steps to begin using your HP Jornada.

1.Connect to ac power. Assemble the ac adapter, and connect it to the dc jack on your Pocket PC.

Chapter 2 | Getting started | 13

2.Reset your HP Jornada. Press the red Reset button on the back of your Pocket PC.

3.Follow the Welcome Wizard. The first time you start your HP Jornada, the Hewlett-Packard Welcome screen appears. Then, after a few moments, the Welcome Wizard begins. The Welcome Wizard presents a brief orientation to Windows for Pocket PC, helps you align the touch screen, and prompts you to select your city and time zone.

4.Adjust the display. Before you begin, you may need to adjust the contrast and brightness of the display to a comfortable level. Press and hold the HP home menu hot key until HP settings appears, and then move the sliders for each setting.

5.Register your HP Jornada. To ensure that you receive warranty coverage, technical support, and information on upgrades, register your HP Jornada at www.hp.com/jornada.

Some programs, such as Pocket Word, Notes, and the Notes tabs in Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks, accept writing directly on the screen. When you write on the screen, you can edit and format what you have written or convert the information to text.

4.If the conversion is incorrect, tap and hold the stylus on the incorrect word to display the pop-up menu, and then tap Alternates. Tap the word you want to use, or tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original writing.

Tips for writing on the screen:

Write neatly.

Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross of the “t” and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not confused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the line.

For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the

Tools menu.

Write the letters of a word close together and leave big gaps between words, so that it is clear where words begin and end.

Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.

If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an “8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you added will not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.

=X M[J` XW ]QN \L[NNW

You may want to change the zoom setting so that you can more easily work on or view your drawing. Tap Tools and then select a zoom setting.

In any program where you can write or draw on the screen, you can also quickly capture thoughts, reminders, and phone numbers by recording a voice note. In Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts, you can include a recording on the Notes tab. In the Notes program, you can either create a standalone recording or include a recording in a written note. If you want to include the recording in a note, open the note first.

You can share voice notes with other Windows-powered devices by sending them over infrared or as an attachment to an e-mail message.

The recording feature is intended for recording personal voice notes. It is not suitable for recording presentations, music, or lectures. Some static or electrical noise may be heard during playback.

Your HP Jornada supports several formats for voice notes. The formats vary in both the quality of the recording and the size of the sound file. When selecting a recording format, you should consider the quality you need as well as how much storage memory the recording will use on your HP Jornada.

In addition, not all recording formats are compatible with other software or computers. If you will share your recordings with others or transfer a recording to your desktop PC, be sure to choose a recording format that is supported by the software used to play recordings on the other computer. The default recording format is HP Dynamic Voice. For instructions on installing HP Dynamic Voice codec on your desktop PC, see “Installing the HP Dynamic Voice audio codec” in chapter 3.

1.On the Start menu, tap Settings, and then tap the Input icon.

2.On the Options tab in the Input control panel, select a voice recording format from the drop-down list.

The table below lists the compatibility of various recording formats with other computers. The list of recording formats on your HP Jornada indicates the sample rate, whether the format is stereo or mono, and how much storage memory is required per second of recording. You may need to experiment with different sample rates and formats to determine which format best suits your voice.
