Caring for your HP Jornada 
When treated properly, your HP Jornada will be a reliable desktop PC 
companion. Follow these tips to ensure long and trouble-free use: 
• Clean the screen. Touching the HP Jornada screen with your hand will 
leave a trace of natural oil that may make it difficult to read the screen. To 
clean the screen, use a small amount of commercial glass cleaner 
sprayed on a soft cloth. Avoid spraying the screen directly.  
You can also protect the screen with an optional screen protector. For 
more information, see the HP branded accessories section in chapter 8.

 Be sure to turn off your HP Jornada before cleaning the touch screen.    
• 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 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. 
Using your HP Jornada for the first time 
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

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 HP Jornada to start up or shut down; you can 
start working immediately by pressing the On/Off button or one of the HP hot 
keys.  
 You can also turn on your HP Jornada simply by tapping the touch screen. On 
the Preferences tab 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 
On/Off button. By default, the backlight will dim after 1 minute of inactivity, and 
your HP Jornada will turn off automatically after 3 minutes 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.  
The features associated with each button are described below. In addition, 
most buttons can be re-assigned or configured to start a program that you 
designate. For more information, see the Configuring hardware buttons 
section in chapter 5. 
Notification button/LED 
• Blinking green LED indicates an alarm or reminder. If the alarm also plays 
a sound, press the Notification button/LED to silence the alarm. The LED 
continues blinking until you dismiss the reminder. 
• While connected to AC power, amber LED indicates that your HP Jornada 
is charging. Solid (not blinking) green LED indicates that your HP Jornada 
is fully charged. 
• Press and hold the Notification button/LED to turn the display off. Blinking 
red LED indicates that display is off (device is still on). 
• When the display is off, press the Notification button/LED to turn the 
display on again.

Record button 
• Press and release the Record button to turn on your HP Jornada. 
• Press and hold the Record button to turn on your HP Jornada and begin 
recording. If speaker is not muted, a beep indicates recording has started. 
• Release the Record button to stop recording. If speaker is not muted, a 
double beep indicates that recording has stopped. 
 
 To avoid inadvertently turning on your HP Jornada, you can disable the 
Record button. For more information, see the Adjusting settings section in 
chapter 5. 
 
 
HP hot keys 
• Press any HP hot key to turn on your HP Jornada and start the associated 
application. 
• Press the HP home menu hot key to launch the HP home menu. 
• Press the HP home menu hot key a second time to display the second 
page of buttons. 
• Press and hold the HP home menu hot key to launch HP settings. 
• Press the Calendar, Contacts, or Tasks hot key to launch that application. 
• In Calendar, Contacts, or Tasks, press the associated hot key again to 
change views (for example, to switch from Day view to Week view). 
On/Off button 
• Press the On/Off button to turn your HP Jornada on or off. 
• Press and hold the On/Off button to open the Align Screen application 
and recalibrate the stylus and touch screen. For more information, see the 
Aligning the touch screen section later in this chapter. 
Navigating in Windows for Pocket PC 
Using the stylus 
Use the stylus to navigate and select objects on the screen:  
• Tap. Touch the screen once with the stylus to open items and select 
options. 
• Drag. Hold the stylus on the screen and drag to select text and images. 
Drag in a list to select multiple items.  
						

							16 | HP Jornada 540 Series User’s Guide     
 
• Tap-and-hold. Tap and hold the stylus on an item to see a list of actions 
available for that item.  
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 removable cover of the HP Jornada.  
Aligning the touch screen 
From time to time, you might notice that the accuracy of your stylus taps 
diminishes. When this happens, you can re-align your touch screen using the 
Align Screen control panel.  
To open the Align Screen control panel 
1. On the Start menu, tap Settings, and then tap the Align Screen icon. 
2.  Tap the targets as they appear at each new location to calibrate the 
touch screen.  
 
 You can also open the Align Screen control panel—without using the stylus—
by pressing and holding the On/Off button.  
 
To d a y  S c r e e n  
When you turn on your HP Jornada for the first time each day (or after 4 hours 
of inactivity), you’ll see the Today screen. You can also display it by tapping 
Today on the Start menu. The Today screen displays all the important 
information about your day. To customize the information that is displayed, tap 
the Today screen header.
