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. You 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.)
• Take 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 Wave audio format. (See the
Recording voice memos section in chapter 4.)
• Keep Word, 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 down-
load Web pages for viewing later. (See the Browsing the
Web 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.)

Chapter 1 | Welcome | 5
• 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.
• Expand your functionality with PC Card accessories.
(See the Accessories section in chapter 7.)
• Get it all in one package. Your HP Jornada comes
complete with a built-in modem (model 680 only).
HP Jornada is your mobile computing companion. Several
valuable features allow you to stay organized and in touch
while you’re on the road. For instance:
• The HP Jornada viewer application displays PIM data
(contacts, calendar, and tasks) at a glance, allowing you
to navigate to or view the data you need immediately. You
can even view notes attached to appointments.
• The HP Jornada dialup application leads you through
the steps required to configure a dial-up connection and
to access your e-mail and the Web. When you are ready to
connect, just use the convenient dialup window on your
HP Jornada desktop.
• The HP Jornada quick pad provides a convenient place to
jot down notes, names, telephone numbers, and other
data for short-term storage. Information can be saved in
quick pad for fast retrieval or sent to the appropriate
database for long-term storage.
• The HP Jornada backup application can back up and
restore information to/from an optional CompactFlash
Card or PC Card, safeguarding against loss of data while
you are on the road—even if power is lost.
HP Jornada programs
Your HP Jornada already includes the full suite of software
that you need to function as a mobile professional. Detailed
information can be found in later chapters.

battery, turn on the device, and complete the Windows CE
Welcome Wizard. To set up your HP Jornada, you will need

16 | HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
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

Chapter 2 | Getting started | 17
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 automati-
cally; the battery will not overcharge if left connected to AC
power.
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.
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.

18 | HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
The AC adapter includes two parts:
the power cable and the adapter.
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.

Chapter 2 | Getting started | 19
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.
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.

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 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 alt key as you
press
2. To adjust the brightness, hold down the alt key as
you press or

displayed in the taskbar area at the bottom of your screen.
After you complete the Welcome Wizard, you can begin
using your HP Jornada.

Establishing a partnership
After you set up Windows CE Services on your desktop PC,
you are prompted to establish a partnership between your
desktop PC and your HP Jornada. The partnership enables
your desktop PC to recognize your HP Jornada when trans-
ferring files or synchronizing data.
You can establish partnerships between your HP Jornada
and up to two desktop PCs, for example, your home PC and
your office PC. If you regularly synchronize your
HP Jornada with both desktop PCs, you can ensure that
important files, contacts, and calendar information are
always up-to-date and identical on both desktop PCs, as well
as on your HP Jornada.
If your HP Jornada has more than one desktop PC partner, you cannot synchronize e-mail
messages.
A single desktop PC can partner with any number of H/PCs
or palmtop PCs. This is useful if you have more than one
Windows CE device, or if several mobile professionals share
a single desktop PC.

Connecting to another PC
In some cases, you may need to connect your HP Jornada to
a desktop PC other than your partner. Or, if you have logged
on to your desktop PC under a different user name or
performed a full reset of your H/PC, your desktop PC will
not recognize your HP Jornada as its partner.
In these cases, when you connect your HP Jornada to the
desktop PC, the New Mobile Device Detected dialog box
appears, offering you the option to synchronize, browse, or to
restore data from an existing backup file.
If you choose Synchronize, the New Partnership Wizard
will begin, and your HP Jornada will be designated as a
partner of the desktop PC. Contacts, Calendar, and Task
information and information from any other services you
choose to synchronize will be copied from the desktop PC to
your HP Jornada.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Chapter 3 | Connecting to your desktop PC | 43
If you choose Browse, your HP Jornada will be connected as
a guest. As a guest, you can view files and folders on the
HP Jornada, transfer files and folders, and manually back
up or restore; however, you cannot synchronize data or
automatically back up and restore data.
If you choose Restore, you are given the option to restore
data from an existing backup file on the desktop PC. Restor-
ing data in this way will replace all existing data on the
HP Jornada with the data in the backup file on your PC.
If you have lost your HP Jornada or replaced it with another HP Jornada, you can use the
Restore function to set up a new device with the exact same data and settings as the old
one, provided you had previously performed a full backup to the desktop PC. When you
connect the new device to your desktop PC for the first time, choose Restore rather than
Synchronize or Browse. For more information, see the Backing up and restoring
data section in chapter 5.
Browsing your HP Jornada desktop

Do not remove your HP Jornada from the docking cradle, disconnect the sync cable, or
turn off your HP Jornada while synchronization is in progress.
Synchronizing selected data
You can synchronize some or all of the following items:
• Pocket Outlook data—Synchronize the Calendar,
Contacts, or Tasks information on your HP Jornada with
information stored in Outlook or Schedule+ on your
desktop PC.
• E-mail messages—Share messages between selected
folders in your HP Jornada Inbox and Microsoft Exchange
or Outlook on your desktop PC. For more information, see
the Synchronizing e-mail messages section in this
chapter.
• Files—Synchronize the contents of the Synchronized
Files folder (inside My Documents) on your HP Jornada
with files stored in your My Documents folder (Win-
dows 95) or in your Personal folder (Windows NT) on your
desktop PC.
To specify data to synchronize
1. On your desktop PC, open the Mobile Devices win-
dow, and then select your HP Jornada icon.
2. On the Tools menu, click ActiveSync Options.
3. On the General tab of the ActiveSync Options
dialog box, select the check boxes beside the services
you want to synchronize.

4. To set specific options (for example, to indicate how
many weeks of Calendar data to synchronize, or to
synchronize only active tasks), select the appropriate
service, and then click Options.
Reducing the amount of data to synchronize, for example, by synchronizing only 1 or 2
weeks of Calendar data, can significantly speed up the synchronization process. If you use
Microsoft Outlook, Windows CE Services synchronizes only 2 weeks of calendar data by
default.
Resolving synchronization conflicts
If the same item (for example, an appointment or a task) has
been modified on both the desktop PC and on the
HP Jornada, ActiveSync will indicate that a Synchroniza-
tion conflict has occurred. When the Resolve Conflicts
dialog box appears, you can either resolve the conflict by
selecting one of the items to replace or you can ignore the
conflict, leaving the data on both computers unchanged.
You can resolve each conflict manually, at the time of
synchronization, or you can resolve conflicts automatically
by setting a default option for conflict resolution.

To set a default option for conflict resolution
1. Open the Mobile Devices window, and then select
your HP Jornada icon.
2. On the Tools menu, click ActiveSync Options.
3. On the General tab of the ActiveSync Options
dialog box, click Advanced.
4. Select the option you prefer to resolve conflicts.
Synchronizing e-mail messages
You can synchronize your HP Jornada Inbox with the e-mail
program (Microsoft Outlook or Exchange) on your desktop
PC partner. By synchronizing, you can take important
messages with you when you travel, or you can use your
desktop PC to send messages that you create on your
HP Jornada.
When you synchronize:
• Messages are copied from the Inbox folder on your desktop
computer to the Inbox folder on your HP Jornada (by
default, only the messages received in the past 3 days are
synchronized, and no attachments are copied).
• Messages on the two computers are linked. So, for in-
stance, if you delete a message on your HP Jornada, it
will also be deleted on your desktop PC the next time you
synchronize.
• Messages in the Outbox folder on your HP Jornada are
transferred to the Outbox on your desktop PC and then
sent from that program.
Synchronizing from a remote location
The ActiveSync program on your HP Jornada enables you to
synchronize files, e-mail messages, and Pocket Outlook data
with your desktop PC, even when you are away from the
office. You can do this by remote dial-up connection or LAN
connection to your desktop PC. You can also connect to a
computer not on a network (such as your home computer)
and synchronize using a modem.

specific details, see the sections on Microsoft Office programs
in chapter 5 or refer to online Help for that program on your
HP Jornada. Only Microsoft PowerPoint® 97 files can be
converted to Pocket PowerPoint.
Transferring PIM data from older palmtop PCs
and handheld PCs
If you have an older palmtop PC or handheld PC, you can
transfer personal information manager (PIM) data (Con-
tacts, Calendar, and Tasks data) to your HP Jornada,
saving you the task of re-entering entire lists of contacts or
tasks. You can also copy all files, folders, and programs you
have added from an older model Windows CE device to your
HP Jornada.
The transfer process you follow and the type of data that can
be migrated depends on the make and model of the palmtop
or handheld PC, and whether it uses Windows CE Services
to connect to your desktop PC.
Migrating data from older Windows CE palmtop PCs
If your data is stored on a palmtop or handheld PC that uses
an older version of Windows CE, you must first back up the
data to your desktop PC by using the version of Windows CE
Services or H/PC Explorer that came with the device. Then,
upgrade to Windows CE Services 2.2 on your desktop PC,
and restore the data to your HP Jornada. Use the following
procedure to migrate files, appointments, and other personal
data stored on your old palmtop PC.

nership and synchronize your data.
Migrating data from non–Windows CE palmtops
If your data is stored on an HP 100/200LX Palmtop PC or
an HP OmniGo Organizer, you must first transfer the data
to your desktop PC. Use the Hewlett-Packard PIM Transla-
tion Utility (for HP devices only) to import the data into
Schedule+ 7.0a on your desktop PC. After you have imported
the data into Schedule+, you can update the information on
your HP Jornada by synchronizing with Schedule+ using
Windows CE Services 2.2.
The HP PIM Translation Utility is available on the
HP Jornada Handheld PC compact disc included with your
HP Jornada. This procedure migrates only Phone Book and
Appointment Book data.
Before translating PIM data files, you must install the version of Schedule+ 7.0a found
on the Desktop Software for Microsoft Windows CE compact disc on your desktop PC.
To install the HP PIM Translation Utility onto the
desktop PC
1. Insert the HP Jornada Handheld PC compact disc
into the CD-ROM drive on your desktop PC.

PIM data translation
You can translate only one file at a time. To translate
multiple PIM data files, you need to repeat the Translation
operation for each file separately.
To translate appointment data
1. Double-click the HP PIM Translation Utility icon to
start the program.
2. In the Welcome screen, click Appointments.
3. Specify the appointment data file to translate in the
Open File dialog box that appears, and then click
OK. If the file you specify is not a PIM database file
of the appropriate type, you will get an error mes-
sage.
4. In the Appointment Book Translation Note screen,
click OK. The Data Translation Progress screen
appears, showing the progress of current translation
activity.
5. When the translation is complete, a message ap-
pears. Click OK to return to the Welcome screen.
Limitation on appointment translation
Although the Appointment Book applications on the
HP 100LX/200LX palmtop PCs and HP OmniGo 100/120
organizers and the Calendar application on the HP Palmtop
PC support daily, weekly, monthly, and yearly repeated
events, the Schedule+ application supports only daily and
yearly repeated events. Because all translation goes through
Schedule+, there is no direct mapping from earlier
HP Palmtop products to Schedule+ for repeating weekly and
monthly events. As long as you do not edit imported repeat-
ing weekly or monthly events in Schedule+ before you
synchronize them with the HP Palmtop PC, they will
translate correctly into repeating events on the palmtop PC.
If, however, you edit them in Schedule+, they lose their
weekly/monthly attribute and are treated as single events.

To translate a Phone Book data file
1. Double-click the HP PIM Translation Utility icon to
start the program.
2. In the Welcome screen, click Phone Book.
3. In the Open File dialog box, specify the Phone Book
data file to translate, and then click OK.
4. In the Phone Book Translation Field Map window,
select mapping options. For more information, see
the following sections.
5. When translation is complete, a message appears.
Click OK to return to the Welcome screen.
Phone Book field mapping
The HP PIM Translation Utility attempts to map the fields
in your Phone Book data file to standard fields in a Sched-
ule+ record. As long as your Phone Book fields have standard
names (that is, you have not modified the Phone Book
database field structure), the translation is straightforward.
The suggested mapping appears in a table in the Phone Book
Translation Field Map screen:
• The left column shows the names of fields extracted from
the Phone Book data file. (Only the fields that have data
are included.)
• The right column shows the names of Schedule+ fields.
• An arrow in the center column indicates that the data in
a Phone Book field in the left column will be copied to the
corresponding Schedule+ field in the right column. Note
that multiple Phone Book fields (for example, Address1
and Address2) can be mapped to the same Schedule+ field
(for example, Business address). No arrow in the center
column indicates that there is no mapping and, therefore,
the data will not be copied. You can add or modify the
suggested mappings before translating the data. For
example, if you have customized the name of a Phone

Book field so that the HP PIM Translation Utility does
not know how to map it, you can define a mapping for it
yourself.
Name mapping
The Name field in the Phone Book data file can be mapped in
three ways in Schedule+:
• If the name in the Phone Book data file is entered as
Name1, Name2 [Name3] (that is, with a comma after the
first word), it is always mapped to the two name fields in
Schedule+ with Name1 = Last Name and Name2
[Name3] = First Name.
• If the name in the Phone Book data file does not have a
comma after the first word, you can choose one of two
options for its mapping:
•
Last name/First name— (default) Name1 [Name3]
Name2 maps to Name1 = Last Name and [Name3]
Name2 = First Name.
•
First name/Last name—Name1 [Name3] Name2
maps to Name1 [Name3] = First Name and Name2
= Last Name.
In all cases, Last name is mapped to a single word, with any
additional words such as [Name3] becoming part of First
name.)
Mapping additions
If a field appears in the left column with no mapping (that
is, no arrow in the center column) select a field name from
the drop-down list of the Schedule+ field immediately to the
right of the field whose mapping you want to define. The
field name appears in the appropriate cell in the right
column and a mapping arrow appears in the center column.

58 | HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
Mapping changes
If a field in the left column is mapped to the wrong field in
the right column, change the mapping by selecting a differ-
ent Schedule+ field name from the drop-down list for the
corresponding cell in the right column.
Mapping removal
If a field in the left column should not be mapped to any-
thing, click None from the drop-down list for the corre-
sponding cell in the right column. The None option is not
available for the Name field.
Translation status review
After each translation is finished, whether it completed
successfully or was interrupted, the results are written onto
the Status screen. Click the Status button on the Welcome
screen to see the history of any translations begun during
the current execution of the HP PIM Translation Utility.

Printing your Pocket Office documents
You can print your Pocket Office and other documents from
your HP Jornada in three different ways:
• By connecting directly to a PCL printer using the optional
HP parallel printer cable (F1274A). For a list of compat-
ible printers, refer to the HP parallel printer cable User’s
Guide that came with your HP Jornada.
• By connecting via infrared port (only with an infrared-
equipped PCL printer).
• By transferring the file to your desktop PC and printing it
from within a program on the desktop PC.
For instructions on printing directly to a printer using the
HP parallel printer cable, see the HP parallel printer cable
User’s Guide.
To print directly to a printer via infrared
1. Open the file or document you want to print.
2. On the File menu, tap Print. The Print dialog box
appears.
3. Choose the PCL printer you will be printing to and
select the IrDA port option.

technology, makes it easy to write and draw the way you do
on paper, but with the benefit of being able to edit and format
your writings and drawings. With InkWriter, you can enter
information in the way that is easiest for you: type using the
keyboard or write or draw on screen using the stylus.

Backing up and restoring data
To prevent loss of data, you should back up your HP Jornada
data frequently. You can back up your HP Jornada two
convenient ways:
• Use Windows CE Services to back up all data to your
desktop PC.
• Use the HP Jornada backup application to back up all
data or only PIM data (HP quick pad, Contacts, Calendar,
and Tasks databases) to a PC Card or CompactFlash Card
or to internal memory.
Using Windows CE Services Backup at your PC
The Windows CE Services Backup feature creates a com-
plete duplicate of all data stored on your HP Jornada. If you
routinely connect to your desktop PC, this is the best
method of data backup. The backup file is saved on the hard
disk of your desktop PC.
When you restore data from a backup file created by Win-
dows CE Services, all data on your HP Jornada is replaced
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
82 | HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
by the data in the backup file, including files you have
created, programs you have installed, and any system
settings and options you have set.
To access the Windows CE Services Backup feature, tap
Backup on the Tools menu in the Mobile Devices window.
For more information about Windows CE Services Backup,
see online Help.
Using the HP Jornada backup application
To ensure the complete safety of your data, use the
HP Jornada backup application to back up to an optional
CompactFlash Card (such as the HP CompactFlash Card,
model F1233A). By backing up to a CompactFlash Card, you
can safeguard your data even while you are traveling or
while you are away from your desktop PC. HP backup lets
you choose to back up all data or only PIM data (Calendar,
Contacts, and Tasks, and HP quick pad notes). For informa-
tion on using CompactFlash Card accessories with your HP
Jornada, see the Using PC Cards and CompactFlash
Cards section in chapter 7.
If you have both a CompactFlash Card and aPC Card installed, two folders appear in the
My Handheld PC folder. The folder called Storage card2 represents the CompactFlash Card.
You can also back up data to a folder on your HP Jornada;
however, this will not preserve the information in case you
lose power or need to perform a full reset. (See the Resetting
section in chapter 8.)
To back up data
1. On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to
HP Applications, and then tap HP backup.
2. Tap Backup.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.

tion stored in RAM, including files you have
created and programs you have installed. (Certain
system settings and passwords are not backed up.)
• Select Back up PIM databases to back up only
your Contacts, Tasks, and Calendar databases and
HP quick pad notes.
4. Follow the instructions on your screen to complete
the backup process.
For additional protection, you can copy the backup file (*.dbe or *.dbb) from your
HP Jornada to your desktop PC.
To restore from a backup file
1. On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to
HP Applications, and then tap HP backup.
2. Tap Restore all data or Restore PIM databases.
3. Select the backup file you want to restore, and then
tap Restore.
When you restore, your HP Jornada must have the same regional settings as when you
completed the backup. Otherwise, you will not be able to restore the files. To change
regional settings, on the Start menu, point to Settings, tap Control Panel, and then
double-tap the Regional Settings icon. Select your region from the drop-down list.

HP Jornada 680, you have an internal modem, so you
are ready to go. If you have the HP Jornada 680e, you
can choose from a variety of available PC Card modems.
(For more information about compatible PC Card
modems, go to the HP Jornada Accessories page on the
Hewlett-Packard Web site at www.hp.com/jornada.)
• A PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) or SLIP (Serial
Line Internet Protocol) account—An Internet
service provider (ISP) will provide you with important
information, such as a user name, password, dial-up
telephone number, server names, and so on.
• A dial-up connection set up on your HP Jornada—
HP dialup makes this step easy.
• Access to a telephone line—You can connect to an
analog telephone line with your HP Jornada 680. Or, if
you have the HP Jornada 680e, you can connect to the
telephone line supported by your PC Card modem.
If you use the HP Jornada 680, you must use an analog telephone line to connect your
modem. Connecting to a digital telephone line can damage your modem.

an ISP to set up a PPP account. SLIP accounts are offered
by some ISPs instead of PPP accounts. Your HP Jornada
supports the use of SLIP as well as PPP.
Your ISP will be able to give you all the configuration
information you need to connect your HP Jornada to the
Internet and e-mail service. Be sure to note the following:
• Your account user name.
• Your account password.
• Telephone number of your ISP modem.
• IP and DNS addresses, if necessary.
• Your e-mail user name or ID. (This may be the same as
the user name for your ISP account.)
• Your e-mail password. (This may be the same as the
password for your ISP account.)
• The POP3 or IMAP4 host name of your ISP.
• The SMTP host name of your ISP (if required by your
ISP).

Setting up a dial-up connection to your ISP
After you have established an account with an ISP, you can
set up a connection on your HP Jornada and connect to the
Internet and your e-mail whenever you want. To make this
configuration process easier, use the HP Jornada dialup
application. HP dialup leads you through the process of
configuring your connections, including:
• Setting up a connection to your ISP.
• Setting up an e-mail service (if you choose E-mail
service as an option).
• Setting up a Web service (if you choose Web service as
an option).
• Setting up a dialing location.
The following sections describe the process that HP dialup
will lead you through and the type of information you will
need to provide.
ISP connection
The first section of the setup program allows you to save
and name your ISP connection. You can create more than
one connection (for example, one connection to your corpo-
rate network and one to your personal ISP). Choose a
connection name that will make it easy to determine which
connection you want when you are ready to dial up. At this
point, you will also complete the following tasks:
Choose E-mail and/or Web service—You can choose
one or both options. Most ISPs offer both e-mail and Web
services.
Choose Typical or Advanced setup—Typical setup will
automate most of the connection configuration by using
default settings. Advanced setup allows you more control
over setup options. Typical and Advanced setup options
are offered at the beginning of each stage of the setup
process: ISP service setup, E-mail service setup, and Web
service setup.

92 | HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
Input ISP information—This includes the information
you collected from your ISP, such as the dial-up telephone
number and IP, DNS, and WINS address settings. Many
ISPs automatically or dynamically assign both IP and DNS
addresses. If your ISP does not assign these automatically,
you should clear the Server-assigned addresses option and
type the addresses.
When you enter the IP address, you can also choose to use
SLIP if your ISP uses this protocol. PPP is the default
protocol, but SLIP is supported as well.
You also have the option to choose software and IP header compression options. Ask your
ISP if these options are recommended for your account.
E-mail service
If you choose to configure an e-mail service, HP dialup will
prompt you to enter the following information:
UserID and password—The user name (UserID) and
password you use to access your e-mail account may be the
same as the user name and password you use to connect to
your ISP. However, some ISPs assign a different name and
password for this service.
Service type—Your ISP may use POP3 or IMAP4 for
receiving mail. In addition, some ISPs use SMTP (Simple
Mail Transfer Protocol) for sending messages. This is an
optional setting; refer to your ISP to find out if this applies
to your configuration.
Settings—You can choose a variety of E-mail service
settings. If your ISP supports MIME (Multipurpose
Internet Mail Extensions) encoding (POP3 servers only),
you can select an option to allow binary files, such as
graphics and audio files, to be sent as attachments to e-
mail messages. You can also set e-mail services to:
• Disconnect after actions are performed
• Check for new mail at specified intervals
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Chapter 6 | Accessing e-mail and the Web | 93
• Display a message or sound an alarm when new mail
arrives
• Only display messages from a specified number of
recent days
• Download only message headers (you can review head-
ers and decide whether to download message bodies the
next time you connect)
• Download full copies of all messages (you can review
messages and decide whether to download attachments
the next time you connect)
The default options represent the settings used by many ISPs. If you are not sure, or you
do not have guidance from your ISP, try the default settings.
Fill in your E-mail service information.
Web service information
If you choose to configure Web services, HP dialup
prompts you to set options such as your Home and Search
pages, AutoDial and Auto Disconnect, plus Advanced
options. Advanced options include enabling cookies,
caching (and cache size), and security settings.
Proxy Server—Typically, a proxy server is only neces-
sary if you are connecting to the Internet over a network.
When establishing a dial-up connection to your ISP, you
should clear the Use Proxy Server check box.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
94 | HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
Home and Search pages—Set addresses for your Home
and Search pages using this option.
AutoDial and AutoDisconnect—These options allow
HP Jornada to connect and disconnect automatically from
your ISP when an application (such as Inbox or Pocket
Internet Explorer) requires access. Remember that your
device must be connected to the telephone line before a
connection is possible.

caching (up to 10% of available memory) and set security
levels with this option.
Advanced security settings include the option to select
from two versions of SSL (Secure Socket Layer) or PCT
(Private Communication Technology). These protocols
maintain the security and integrity of the transmission
channel by using encryption, authentication, and message-
authentication codes.
When you use HP dialup to connect to your ISP, the Web options you set in HP dialup take
precedence over any options you may have set in Pocket Internet Explorer.
Location information
Your location settings set your dialing options with respect
to your dialing location. These settings include the city and
state/province you are dialing from, country code, area
code, plus other dialing options. You will also be able to
save and name this group of settings as a profile, so that
you can choose among more than one profile when you dial
up. For instance, you can create one connection profile for

Sending, receiving, and processing your e-mail
You can use a dial-up connection to send messages directly
from your HP Jornada, or you can use Inbox synchroniza-
tion to send the messages you compose on your
HP Jornada from your desktop computer (see the Syn-
chronizing data section in chapter 3).
If you send messages directly from your HP Jornada, you
will first need to configure a connection to your ISP or
network, and then set up an e-mail service. You can use
the HP dialup application to set up both the connection
and the e-mail service, or you can create a connection
using Remote Networking, and then set up the e-mail
service in Inbox.
After you have created the connection and e-mail service,
use Inbox to connect to your service provider and retrieve
your mail.

114 | HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
To connect to your service provider from Inbox
1. On the Services menu, tap the connection you
would like to dial.
2. Type your user name, password, and domain name,
if necessary.
3. Tap Dial Properties if you need to modify a
location or choose a different one.
4. Tap Connect. A message will appear to show you
the status of your connection. When your connec-
tion is established, you can send and receive mail.
You can connect to your e-mail account and download messages to your HP Jornada even
if your desktop PC (partner) e-mail service is not Outlook or Exchange (for instance, if your
e-mail service is Lotus Notes). However, you can only synchronize with your desktop PC
mail if your desktop PC uses Outlook or Exchange as its mail client.
Inbox settings
When you connect to a mail server, the messages on your
device and mail server are synchronized: new messages or
message headers are downloaded to the HP Jornada Inbox
folder, messages in the HP Jornada Outbox folder are sent,
and messages that have been deleted from your Inbox are
removed from the server.
You can set Inbox to download all your messages or only
new message headers to the Inbox folder. By default, only
messages from the last 3 days will be downloaded.
Downloading only message headers saves storage space
and requires less connect time. By default, only message
headers and the first 100 lines of text are downloaded, and
the original messages remain on the mail server. If you
read a message header and decide that you want the full
copy, tap the Get Full Copy button on the Inbox toolbar.
The full text of the message will be retrieved the next time
you connect.

Chapter 6 | Accessing e-mail and the Web | 115
To change the default settings, or to set options for retriev-
ing file attachments and meeting requests, tap Options on
the Services menu, select the service you want to modify,
and then tap Properties. Inbox displays three tabs with
options for the selected service.
Attachments
When you send an attached file, such as a Pocket Word file,
be sure the recipient can read the file type you are sending.
Pocket Word files (.pwd) can only be read by other Windows
CE devices such as the HP Jornada. You can choose to save
the file as .txt or .rtf if you are unsure, or you can choose to
save the file as a Word file (.doc). For information about the
file types associated with a particular program, refer to the
Pocket Office section in chapter 5.
When a binary file is sent over the Internet as an attach-
ment to an e-mail message, the file must be encoded/
decoded by the mail servers. Inbox supports the use of
MIME encoding for binary attachments; however, you
must be sure that both the sender’s and the recipient’s
mail servers also support MIME. If your mail server does
not support MIME encoding, file attachments that you
receive may be corrupted or even cause your HP Jornada
to freeze. If you experience problems sending or receiving
file attachments, or if you are not sure whether your mail
server supports MIME, check with your ISP or network
administrator.
By default, Inbox will not use MIME when sending attach-
ments. To turn on MIME encoding, tap Options on the
Services menu, select the service, tap Properties, tap
Next, and then select the Send using MIME format
check box.
For detailed descriptions of the settings related to reading
and sending e-mail attachments, see the Inbox topic in
online Help.

116 | HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
If you choose to download attachments along with your
messages, you can save them on your HP Jornada or
storage device. To save memory, you can save attachments
automatically to a storage card.
To save attachments automatically to a storage card
1. On the Services menu, tap Options.
2. On the Storage tab, select the External Storage
Card radio button. Tap OK.
Message deletion
When you delete messages from your HP Jornada while
you are still connected to your service provider, the mes-
sages will be deleted from the server as well. If you delete
the message after you disconnect, the message will be
deleted from the server the next time you connect.
Message deletion is permanent. Deleted messages are not
moved to the Recycle Bin, and they cannot be recovered.
When you delete a message, any files attached to the
message are also deleted. To save a file attachment before
you delete the message, open the file attachment in the
program that created it (for example, Pocket Word), and
then tap Save As on the File menu. See online Help for
more information.
Browsing the Web or your intranet with Pocket
Internet Explorer
You can use Pocket Internet Explorer to browse the Web
or your corporate intranet with your HP Jornada. Pocket
Internet Explorer allows you to view Web sites in their
entirety directly on your HP Jornada. Download forms
from your corporate intranet and save them for later use,
or save your favorite online news page to read later when
you are offline.

Although it includes most of the features of the Internet
Explorer Web browser, Pocket Internet Explorer has been
streamlined to work efficiently on the compact
HP Jornada. Animations are not displayed on your
HP Jornada. Animated graphics may appear as a single
still frame, or may not appear at all. You may also have
difficulty viewing Web pages that require ActiveX controls
or plug-ins. For more information about using Pocket
Internet Explorer, refer to online Help.
Retrieving your CompuServe mail
If you are a member of CompuServe, you can use Inbox to
receive your CompuServe e-mail on your HP Jornada. To
do this, you will need to:
• Use the Web browser and Internet account on your
desktop PC (partner) to go to the CompuServe Web site
at www.csi.com/communications.
• Follow the instructions that are provided at that site for
creating a POP3 mailbox. Be sure to choose a mailbox
password that your HP Jornada can support; that is,
use only letters and numbers in your password.
• Create a connection with HP dialup on your
HP Jornada. You will have all the account information
you need when you finish creating your POP3 mailbox
at the CompuServe site.
• Set up (and name) the Inbox mail service connection.
See the Using Inbox section in this chapter.
After you have completed these initial setup procedures,
you will be able to send and receive your CompuServe e-
mail just as you would with any other Internet e-mail
account.
If you have an account with another online service, check
with the service provider to see if the service supports
access via Windows CE.

tion to a network. Many cards have been tested specifically
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
128 | HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
for compatibility with the HP Jornada. For a list of recom-
mended compatible cards, go to the Hewlett-Packard Web
site at www.hp.com/jornada.
Before you can use a particular card, you may need to install
the software driver for that card. The software drivers for
the Windows CE operating system should be included with
the card or be available from the card’s manufacturer.
Install software drivers as you would any other software or
program. For more information, see the Installing pro-
grams section in this chapter.
Non-memory CompactFlash Cards that require a cable connection (for example, network
interface cards, pagers, or modem cards), must be inserted in the PC Card slot rather
than the CompactFlash Card slot. To insert a CompactFlash Card into the PC Card slot, you
will need a PC Card adapter. For a list of recommended PC Card adapters, go to the
Hewlett-Packard Web site at www.hp.com/jornada.
Installing a PC Card or CompactFlash Card
The HP Jornada 680 and 680e use a unique expansion
module to accommodate both PC Cards and CompactFlash
Cards in a small, portable size. You can install either a PC
Card or CompactFlash Card, or install both cards at the
same time.
Many PC Cards use considerable power, and can quickly drain your battery. Connect to AC
power while using PC Cards.
PC Card and CompactFlash memory modules appear as
folders in the My Handheld PC folder. If you have two cards
installed, the folder called Storage card1 represents the first
card you installed, and the folder called Storage card2
represents the second card. In some cases, additional folders
may appear; for example, Storage card3, Storage card4,
etc. You can eliminate unused folders by performing a soft
reset. (For more information, see the Resetting section in
chapter 8.)

Managing memory
The memory on your HP Jornada is allocated between
storage memory and program memory. You can specify how
much of the total memory is used for storage and how much
is used for running programs. If you notice that your
HP Jornada is running slowly or that your programs do not
run consistently, try increasing program memory. If you
need more memory for files and documents, increase storage
memory.
To adjust memory allocation
1. Exit any applications that are running.
2. On the Start menu, point to Settings, and then tap
Control Panel.
3. Double-tap the System icon.
4. On the Memory tab, move the slider to the left to
increase program memory, or move the slider to the
right to increase storage memory.
You may be able to make more memory available by refresh-
ing your system memory.

134 | HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
• Delete files and voice memos you do not need, or transfer
them to your desktop PC for storage and delete them from
your HP Jornada.
You can increase the storage memory by adding a memory module on a CompactFlash or
PC card. For more information, see the Accessories section in this chapter.
Managing battery power
Because the data and files you save on your HP Jornada are
stored in RAM, it is extremely important that you maintain
a continuous power supply to your HP Jornada at all times.
If your HP Jornada runs out of power, all information you
have entered will be lost. The Windows CE operating system
and programs are stored in ROM, and cannot be erased;
however, any programs you have added and custom settings
in existing programs will be lost.
Data stored on a PC Card or CompactFlash Card will be saved, even if your H/PC loses
power. To protect your data, back up regularly to a PC Card or CompactFlash Card by
using HP backup.
HP Jornada uses two types of batteries. The main battery
supplies power whenever your HP Jornada is not connected
to AC power. The backup battery protects your data when
the main battery is not installed (for instance, while you
exchange the main battery).
Main battery
The main battery is the HP Jornada Standard Battery, a
rechargeable lithium ion battery pack. Use only the
HP Jornada Standard Battery (HP F1281A) or the
HP Jornada Extended Battery (HP F1282A) with your
HP Jornada. These batteries are designed only for use with
the HP Jornada 680/680e and should not be used to power
other devices.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Chapter 7 | Optimizing your HP Jornada | 135
Under normal circumstances, the main battery will provide
up to 7 hours of continuous use without recharging. Actual
battery life will vary depending on screen brightness, what
applications you use, and operating conditions. When the
main battery runs very low, your HP Jornada will shut
down, and you will be unable to restart it until you replace
the main battery, recharge the battery, or connect to AC
power.
When you replace the main battery, your new battery must
be charged before your HP Jornada will turn on. For infor-
mation on charging the main battery, refer to the Connect-
ing the AC adapter section in chapter 2.
Ensure that the backup battery is in good condition before you remove the main battery.
If the backup battery is low or you are not sure, connect to AC power before you remove
the main battery.
To replace the main battery
1. Turn off your HP Jornada and disconnect the sync
cable if it is attached.
2. Slide the audio lock to the left if it is unlocked.(No
green dot should be seen. The green dot indicates
that the audio buttons are unlocked.)
3. Slide the battery release button on the bottom of the
HP Jornada.
4. Pull the original battery pack away from the device.
5. Insert the new battery pack and push firmly until it
clicks into place.
Backup battery
The coin-sized, lithium ion backup battery does not provide
enough power to operate your HP Jornada. It is intended
only to protect your data until the main battery is re-
charged.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
136 | HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
Ensure that the main battery is charged before you remove the backup battery. If the
main battery is low or you are not sure, connect to AC power before you remove the
backup battery.
To replace the backup battery
1. Using a small, Philips screwdriver, unscrew the
cover plate from the backup battery compartment.
Be careful not to misplace the small screw.
2. Remove the backup battery.
3. Insert a new 3-V CR2032 coin cell battery into the
backup battery compartment with the positive (+)
side facing up.
4. Replace the cover plate and the screw.
Do not mutilate, puncture, or dispose of batteries in fire. The batteries can burst or
explode, releasing hazardous chemicals. Replace batteries with only the types
recommended in this User’s Guide. Discard used batteries according to the manufacturer’s
instructions.
Using the Power control panel
Use the Power control panel to check the status of your main
and backup batteries and to set options that can increase
battery life. These include setting options for power off or
auto-suspend, setting options for power on, and setting
controls to automatically dim the backlight.
To open the Power control panel
1. On the Start menu, point to Settings, tap Control
Panel, and then double-tap the Power icon.
–or–
Double-tap the power status icon in the status area of
the taskbar.

Chapter 7 | Optimizing your HP Jornada | 137
The power status icon appears in the taskbar only under certain conditions, such as when
battery power is low or when your HP Jornada is connected to external power.
Checking battery status
The power area in the Power control panel indicates whether
your HP Jornada is running on battery power or connected to
AC power, and displays the status of both the main and
backup batteries. In addition, the battery icon in the status
area of the taskbar indicates whether the HP Jornada is
operating on AC or battery power and displays the status of
the main battery:
Icon
Indicates
Running on AC power
Main battery charging
Running on battery power, main battery low
Backup battery low
Backup battery very low
It is important that you respond immediately when a message warning of low battery
power is displayed. When the main battery is low, simply connect the HP Jornada to AC
power to recharge. (You can use your HP Jornada while the battery is charging.) When
the backup battery is low, replace it as soon as possible. It is recommended that you back
up your data and run the HP Jornada only on AC power until you have replaced the
backup battery.
Conserving battery power
Under normal circumstances, the HP Jornada Standard
Battery should provide up to 7 hours of continuous use;
however, certain tasks require more battery power and
deplete the main battery faster. Follow these tips to maxi-
mize battery life.

Maintaining 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:
Keep the unit clean
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 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.
Be careful not to get sand and dirt inside the unit. If you
think your HP Jornada has sand or dirt inside the unit case,
contact your authorized Hewlett-Packard dealer.
Follow general safety precautions
To keep your HP Jornada in good operating condition, follow
these guidelines:
• Only open your HP Jornada case as far as the hinges
allow.
• Do not use excessive force when inserting or removing
CompactFlash Cards or PC Cards or when opening or
closing the expansion module.
• Always keep the sync cable attached while syncing with
your partner PC.
• Only use a modem that has been approved for use with
your HP Jornada (Model 680e only). For a list of approved

Avoid damage
Be careful to keep your HP Jornada from being dropped,
bumped, or crushed. Dropping or placing something heavy on
top of your HP Jornada can cause damage to delicate compo-
nents 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 and the modem function
of the HP Jornada. Removing the HP Jornada from the
source of the interference will return the display and the
modem function to normal.
Avoid high temperatures
Your HP Jornada is designed to operate at temperatures
between 0 to 40 ºC (32 to 104 ºF) and to maintain data at
temperatures between 0 to 55 ºC (32 to 131 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.

Troubleshooting remote connections
This section offers troubleshooting help for trying to connect
your HP Jornada to other computers. For problems commu-
nicating with your desktop, see Windows CE Services Help.
Unable to dial out using the modem
• Verify that the modem is installed correctly (model 680e
only) and connected to the telephone line.
• If you are using the internal modem (model 680 only),
verify that you are using an analog telephone line. (Most
home telephone lines are analog, while most office tele-
phone lines are digital.)
• Verify you have set dialing properties for this connection
correctly.
• Check to see if the modem is waiting for a dial tone. To do
this, on the Start menu, point to Programs, point to
Communication, and then tap Remote Networking.
Select your connection, and then tap Properties on the
File menu. In the Dial-Up Connection dialog box, tap
Configure and then tap the Call Options tab. Verify
that Wait for dial tone before dialing is selected.
• In certain countries you may have to clear the Wait for
dial tone before dialing check box.
• Allow more time for the call to go through if you are
attempting to make an international call. On the Call
Options tab described in the previous step, clear the
Cancel the call if not connected within option or
increase the number of seconds allowed.
Able to dial out, but unable to make a proper
connection
• Verify that the network you are attempting to connect
with supports PPP (Point-To-Point protocol) or SLIP
(Serial Line Internet Protocol).

Chapter 8 | Troubleshooting | 159
• Verify that you have the correct dialing location selected.
On the Start menu, point to Settings, tap Control
Panel, and then double-tap the Dialing icon. Make sure
that the location settings reflect your current location,
that the dialing pattern for the location is appropriate, and
that the local country and area code are correct.
Connection is unreliable
• Make sure the modem is firmly seated and connected to
both your HP Jornada and the telephone jack.
• Disable call waiting. On the Start menu, point to Set-
tings, tap Control Panel, and then double-tap the
Dialing icon. Select Disable call waiting by dialing
and enter the disable code specified by your telephone
company.
Network connection is not listed in the ActiveSync
dialog box
• Close the dialog box, wait a few minutes, and try again.
• Reset your HP Jornada. (See the Resetting section in this
chapter.)
Infrared transfer between Windows CE–based
devices
If you are unable to transfer information between
Windows CE–based devices by infrared, try the following.
• Transfer only one file, or no more than 25 contact cards,
at a time.
• Position the infrared ports so that they line up and are
less than 1 meter (3 feet) but more than 5 centimeters
(2 inches) apart.
• Make sure nothing is blocking the path between the two
infrared ports.

160 | HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
• Adjust the room lighting. Some types of lighting interfere
with infrared communication. Try moving to a different
location or turning off some lights.
The HP Jornada cannot send files to or receive files from a Windows CE 1.0 device via
Infrared. Windows CE 1.0 does not support the FastIR file transfer protocol used by your
HP Jornada.
Display
If you are having trouble viewing your data, here are some
suggestions.
Screen is blank
If your HP Jornada fails to respond when you briefly press
the On/Off button, be sure you have pressed the button
firmly. If that does not work:
• Make sure the main battery is installed properly.
• Adjust the display contrast. On some devices, the screen
can darken or lighten to the point that it appears to be
turned off.
• Reset your HP Jornada. (See the Resetting section in this
chapter.)
• Recharge the main battery.
Screen is dark
Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause your
HP Jornada screen to temporarily darken. This is a normal
occurrence with LCD screens and is not permanent.
Resetting
Occasionally, you will need to reset your HP Jornada, for
example, after you restore data from your desktop PC or
when the operating system stops responding. There are two
methods of resetting:
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Chapter 8 | Troubleshooting | 161
• Soft reset—A soft reset (also called “warm boot”) is
similar to restarting your desktop PC. It restarts the
operating system and preserves any saved data.
• Full reset—A full reset (also called “hard reset”) restores
your HP Jornada to its original state, erasing all informa-
tion you have entered.
To ensure the safety of your information in case a full reset is
necessary, you should regularly back up your data to your
desktop PC (using Windows CE Services) or to a
CompactFlash or PC Card (using the HP Jornada backup
application). For more information on backing up data, see
the Backing up and restoring data section in chapter 5.
Soft reset
Perform a soft reset after restoring data from a backup file or
when your HP Jornada appears to be frozen or locked up.
To perform a soft reset
1. Disconnect the sync cable and/or the telephone line
from your HP Jornada.
2. Use the stylus to press the Reset button.
When you perform a soft reset you will lose unsaved data in all open documents or
programs.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
162 | HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
Full reset
Perform a full reset only when your HP Jornada does not
respond to a soft reset. A full reset will erase all data you
have entered, including all files, system settings, and pro-
grams you have installed. If you have forgotten your pass-
word, you will also need to perform a full reset.
Performing a full reset erases all files, programs, and appointments you have entered. You
can restore only data that has been backed up to your desktop PC or to a PC Card or
CompactFlash Card. (For more information, see the Backing up and Restoring data
section in chapter 5.)
To perform a full reset
1. Disconnect all cables, including the AC adapter from
your HP Jornada.
2. Remove the main battery.
3. Remove the backup battery. For more information,
see the Replacing the backup battery section in
chapter 7.)
4. Wait at least 5 minutes, and then reinstall the
batteries and reconnect the AC adapter. (For more
information, see the Setting up your HP Jornada
section in chapter 2.) Your HP Jornada should turn
on automatically and display the Windows CE
Welcome Wizard. For more information about this
wizard, see the Completing the Welcome Wizard
section in chapter 2.
5. Restore data to your HP Jornada from your most
recent backup file. For more information, see the
Backing up and Restoring data section in chap-
ter 5.

Appendix A
Ergonomics
This chapter provides guidance and hints to help you work in
a comfortable and ergonomically low-risk environment. If you
experience pain or discomfort while using this or any other
equipment, you should stop working and review this chapter.
If the discomfort continues, stop using the equipment and
consult a doctor as soon as possible.
Setting up and using equipment
Some people experience physical discomfort while using
computers. Sometimes this discomfort leads to Repetitive
Strain Injury (RSI), also known as cumulative trauma
disorder or repetitive motion injury. Setting up and using
equipment properly can help minimize this discomfort.
Well-designed and properly adjusted equipment may not be
sufficient to eliminate all potential problems. How you
perform your computer activities is also important.
What is RSI?
RSI is a type of injury caused by the irritation or inflamma-
tion of soft tissues such as muscles, nerves, or tendons. In
extreme cases, this irritation can lead to permanent tissue
damage. RSI has been a documented problem for workers
performing specific tasks such as assembly line work,
meatpacking, sewing, playing musical instruments, and
working with a computer. It may also result from other
activities, such as tennis.
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
172 ï HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
What causes RSI?
RSI is caused by certain demanding activities that exceed the
body’s ability. Common factors associated with RSI include
too many uninterrupted repetitions of an activity or motion,
performing an activity in an awkward or unnatural posture,
maintaining static posture for prolonged periods, failing to
take frequent short breaks, and stress. Certain medical
conditions, such as rheumatoid arthritis and diabetes, may
contribute to RSI.
RSI symptoms
By following the guidelines on proper setup and use of
equipment and work environment, the risk of developing RSI
can be minimized. However, if you experience any discom-
fort, seek professional advice immediately. Typically, the
earlier a problem is diagnosed and treated, the easier it may
be to resolve.
Avoiding RSI
Recent literature suggests that there may be a relationship
between injury to soft tissues, especially in the hands and
arms, and the prolonged use of keyboards or other equipment
requiring repeated motion of the hands and forearms. Litera-
ture also suggests that there are many other risk factors
that may increase the chances of such soft-tissue injury. You
can minimize the risk of suffering from RSI by following the
guidelines detailed in this chapter.
Setting up your working environment
You must have enough space to move around and vary your
position. To avoid eye strain, the ceiling, walls, and floors
should have a medium level of reflectance (approximately
75 percent of ceiling reflectance, 40 percent of wall reflec-
tance, and 30 percent of floor reflectance). Try to avoid
excessive contrast between the screen and its surround-
ings. The work environment should be as quiet and distrac-

tion-free as possible, with background noise below 58 dBA.
Where possible, relative air humidity should be in the
range of 40 to 60 percent. Recommended room temperature
is 19 to 23 ºC (66 to 73 ºF). If possible, adjust the tempera-
ture to a comfortable level. The workplace should be well
ventilated.
Pay attention to your posture; relax your shoulders and keep
your wrists straight. This is easier when your keyboard can
be positioned right under your hands while bending your
elbows at 90º. Pull your chin in to look down, and try to lean
back in the chair. The backrest should support you in the
hollow of your back.
Reducing eye strain
Have your eyes checked on a regular basis and ensure your
eyeglass prescription is suitable for working on a computer
screen. Look away from the screen from time to time. Focus
on distant objects briefly. Blinking periodically helps to
lubricate the eyes.
Preventing muscle stiffness
Avoid holding your muscles tense for long periods of time.
Keep your fingers and body relaxed. Changing tasks fre-
quently helps prevent muscle stiffness. Alternating between
typing, writing, filing, and moving around in your work
environment helps to keep muscles loose.
Taking frequent short breaks
When you are required to work on your computer for pro-
longed periods of time, take short breaks frequently. As a
general rule, a 5- and 10-minute break every hour is a good
idea. It is better to take short breaks frequently than longer
breaks less frequently. Data shows that people who work for
long periods of time without a break are more prone to injury.
Occasionally stretch the muscles in your hands, arms,

Glossary
AC adapter A connector that provides external power (not
battery power) to your HP Jornada. For information about
installing and using the AC adapter, see the Setting up
your HP Jornada section in chapter 2.
ActiveSync A feature of Windows CE Services that man-
ages data synchronization between your HP Jornada and
desktop PC. You can specify the type of data you want to
synchronize.
backup file A duplicate copy of your HP Jornada files and
data that is stored on your desktop PC or on a PC Card.
This file does not include your HP Jornada settings and
information stored in ROM, such as factory-installed
software. Use your backup file to restore your HP Jornada
to its previous state if your device data is damaged or
destroyed or if you have performed a full reset.
cache A special high-speed storage mechanism that saves
temporary copies of Web pages and other file types as you
view them. Your computer can quickly display Web pages
you have recently visited, because Pocket Internet Ex-
plorer can open them from cache instead of having to load
them again from the Web. Increasing the space designated
for your cache folder increases how quickly recently visited
files are displayed, but decreases the amount of space
available for other files on your HP Jornada. You can
choose to empty your cache upon exiting Pocket Internet
Explorer. This saves space on your device.

cookies A packet of messages a Web server passes to your
Web browser. When you enter a Web site that uses
cookies, you may be asked to fill out a form with informa-
tion such as your name and interests. This information is
passed to your Pocket Internet Explorer browser as a
cookie (in the form of a text file called cookie.txt). The next
time you visit that Web site, your Pocket Internet
Explorer will pass the cookie back to the Web server, and
the server will use this information to present you, for
instance, with custom Web pages filled with information of
interest to you. For example, instead of being presented
with a generic welcome page, you might receive a welcome
page with your name on it.
dial-up connection A connection between your
HP Jornada and another computer by modem. You can
have a dial-up connection with an ISP, a network, or with
a modem attached to a PC.
direct connection A connection between your HP Jornada
and another computer by means of the sync cable or IR port.
docking cradle Place your HP Jornada in the docking
cradle for instant connectivity with your PC partner. Once
you have seated your HP Jornada into the docking cradle
you can sync with your PC partner, transfer documents,
and send e-mail.
DNS (Domain Name System) An Internet service that
translates domain names into IP addresses. For example,
the domain name www.jornada.com might translate as
198.125.247.4.
expansion module An expandable slot located on the
bottom of your HP Jornada that allows use of both PC
Card and CompactFlash Card accessories in a compact,
portable package. (For more information on the accordion
module, see the Using PC Cards and CompactFlash
Cards section in chapter 7.)

Glossary ï 177
full reset A process that returns your HP Jornada to its
original state by removing all power, thereby erasing all
files and data you have saved. For more information, see
the Resetting section in chapter 8. (Also called
“hard reset.”)
hard icons The icons located along the right side of your
touch screen are hard icons. Tap these icons to scroll up
or down, open the HP settings application, show or hide
the task bar, and switch between open applications.
Internet service provider (ISP) A company that provides
access to the Internet.
IP (Internet Protocol) specifies the format of packets, also
called datagrams, and the addressing scheme of the Web.
Much like a postal system, IP allows you to address a
package and drop it into the system, but your package is
not delivered instantly to your recipient. The packets are
simply delivered to a server until the recipient downloads
them by logging onto the ISP server.
LAN (Local area network) A group of computers, usually
in close proximity (either in the same building or in
buildings in close proximity), that are linked together to
share files and exchange data.
MIME (Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions)
A standard that allows binary data (such as graphics or
documents) to be transmitted over the Internet without
first being translated into ASCII text. Many e-mail pro-
grams use MIME to allow files to be sent or received as
attachments to e-mail messages.
NIC (Network interface card) A card that is
installed in a computer so that it can be connected to a
network. Network interface cards can provide a dedicated,
full-time connection to a network.

178 ï HP Jornada 680/680e User’s Guide
ODBC (Open DataBase Connectivity) A standard
database access method. The goal of ODBC is to make it
possible to access any data from any application, regard-
less of which database management system is handling
the data.
partnership An established relationship between your HP
Jornada and your PC for the purpose of synchronizing and
transferring data. Your HP Jornada can have partner-
ships with up to two desktop computers.
PCT (Private Communication Technology) A protocol
that maintains the security and integrity of Internet
communications by using encryption, authentication, and
message-authentication codes. The protocol is application
independent, and is used by Web browsers and e-mail
clients to send data via the Internet. PCT is able to
negotiate encryption keys as well as authenticate a server
before data is exchanged by the higher level application.
POP (Post Office Protocol) The first protocol
used to retrieve e-mail from a mail server. Most e-mail
applications (sometimes called e-mail clients) use the POP
protocol, although some may use the newer IMAP (Inter-
net Message Access Protocol).
PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) The default method your
HP Jornada uses to communicate with the ISP network
server.
RAS (Remote Access Service) account A network
account that enables your HP Jornada to access your
Windows NT network remotely .
remote connection A connection between your
HP Jornada and a remote computer or server.
reset A process that either causes your HP Jornada to
restart (soft reset) or causes all data stored in RAM to
be erased (full reset). For more information, see the
Resetting section in chapter 8.

Glossary ï 179
restore A process that returns your device to the state it
was in when last backed up. This involves copying your
backup data to your HP Jornada.
SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) An older and
simpler protocol than PPP. Connecting to the Internet via
SLIP is very similar to connecting via PPP.
soft reset The process of restarting your HP Jornada and
reinitializing the Windows CE operating system. Perform-
ing a soft reset will erase any unsaved data in open
documents, but will preserve data that has been saved.
(Also called “warm boot.”)
stylus A pen-like utensil designed for navigating on a touch
screen.
touch screen A touch-sensitive screen that allows you to
open files, launch programs, and select text by touching or
tapping the screen with the stylus.
