The ac adapter components:  dc plug,  ac adapter, and 
 power cable. 
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. 
After you connect the ac adapter your HP Jornada will turn on 
automatically. However, you should install the main battery 
and install the backup battery before using your device. 
 
Installing the main battery 
The HP Jornada Lithium-Ion Battery provides power to your HP 
Jornada while it is not connected to ac power. Under normal 
operating conditions, the fully charged battery should provide 
power for up to 9 hours of continuous use; however, battery life 
will vary depending on how you use your HP Jornada.

 Rechargeable Lithium-Ion batteries, unlike NiCD and NiMH 
batteries, are not subject to memory effect, allowing you to 
fully recharge your batteries at any time regardless of battery 
power level. 
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 
· Place the main battery in the battery slot on the bottom of 
your HP Jornada and push firmly until it snaps into place. 
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. 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. 
 When the main battery charge is low, a low battery warning is 
displayed. If you see a low battery warning message 
displayed, connect ac power and charge your main battery 
immediately to avoid draining your backup battery, and 
possible data loss.

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. 
 
Installing 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 
attached to the HP Jornada Quick Start Card. Follow the 
procedure outlined below to install the backup battery. 
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 install the backup battery 
1.  Remove the backup battery from the HP Jornada Quick 
Start Card. 
2.  Turn the Jornada upside-down and open the 
CompactFlash door. 
3.  Use the tip of the stylus to carefully open the backup 
battery cover.  
4.  Insert the battery printed side up in the battery 
compartment. 
5.  Using the stylus tip, close the backup battery cover to 
secure the coin-cell battery, and then close the 
CompactFlash door.

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:  
· Where you would normally click a mouse, simply tap the 
stylus on the touch screen to select an icon or activate a 
button.  
· Double-tap instead of double-clicking on a mouse. 
· Hold down the
 key as you tap instead of right-clicking on 
a mouse.  
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 MS Windows for H/PC 
2000 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 
press 
 or .  
2.  To adjust the brightness, hold down the 
 key as you 
press 
  or   .  
To maximize battery life, minimize the brightness setting and 
then adjust contrast to achieve greater readability 
 
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.

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

 Online Help uses the same font setting as Internet Explorer. 
Changing the font size in Internet Explorer will also change 
the font size in Help. 
Turning your HP Jornada on and off 
One of the most convenient features of MS Windows for H/PC 
2000 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 with 
the stylus. 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.) 
 If the HP Jornada wakes up from a suspended state and there 
is no user activity for one minute, the Jornada will return to a 
suspended state. To avoid this, simply use any of the Jornadas 
functions or programs within the one-minute interval. 
Using the HP Jornada keyboard 
To provide full functionality in a smaller size, the HP Jornada 
keyboard lets you accomplish common tasks with a few 
convenient key combinations: 
  To turn the caps lock on or off, press and hold the 
 key as 
you press the left 
 key. While caps lock is on, the  
symbol appears in the status area of the taskbar.
