Maintaining your HP Jornada  
With proper maintenance, your HP Jornada will be a  
reliable desktop PC companion. Follow these tips to ensure  
long and trouble-free use.  
Cleaning 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 commercial glass cleaner  
sprayed on a soft cloth. Avoid spraying the screen directly.  
Dropping 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.  
Avoiding radiated interference  
Radiated interference from other electronic equipment may  
affect the appearance of the display and the modem func-  
tion of the HP Jornada. Removing the HP Jornada from the  
source of the interference will return the modem function  
and display to normal.  
Avoiding high temperatures  
Your HP Jornada is designed to operate at temperatures  
between 0 to 40ʺC (32 to 104ʺF) and to maintain data at  
temperatures between 0 to 55ʺC (32 to 131ʺF). Subjecting  
the device to temperatures higher than 55ʺC (131ʺF) 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.

To install the main battery  
1. Place your HP Jornada on a table or desk with the  
bottom of the device facing up. Be sure the unit is  
closed.  
2. Place the main battery in the battery slot on the  
bottom of your HP Jornada. The leads on the  
battery should line up with the contacts on the  
bottom of the device.  
3. Slide the battery toward the back of your  
HPÊJornada 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 install the backup batteries before  
using your device.  
The main battery should be partially charged already 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 approxi-  
mately 3.5 to 5Êhours.  
When you replace the main battery, your new battery must  
be at least 30 percent charged before your HP Jornada will  
turn on.  
When your HP Jornada is operating on battery power, the  
Power control panel displays the estimated time left on the  
main battery. After you disconnect from the AC power, it  
might take about 1 minute for the Estimated Time Left  
indicator to be updated.  
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 voltages from 100 to 240ÊV, enabling  
connections 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.  
When your HP Jornada is connected to AC power, the main  
battery will be charged automatically. The LED on the  
front of the battery indicates the status of the battery: the  
red LED indicates that the battery power is low, and the  
amber LED indicates that the battery is 90 percent  
charged. When the battery is fully charged, the LED glows  
green. The LED is illuminated only if your HP Jornada is  
connected to AC power.  
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 AC  
port on the right side of your HPÊJornada.  
2. Connect the power cable to the AC adapter.  
3. Plug the power cable into an AC power outlet.

Use the AC adapter to plug your HP Jornada into external power whenever possible,  
especially when connecting to a desktop PC, using a PC Card modem, NIC, or other  
peripheral, or letting the LED indicator flash for extended time periods.  
Installing the backup batteries  
The two CR2032 coin-cell backup batteries protect your  
data when the main battery runs out of power. The backup  
batteries do not provide enough power to operate your  
HPÊJornada, but they will preserve your data while you  
replace the main battery or while you connect to AC power to  
recharge.  
To prevent loss of data, replace the backup batteries as soon as a warning message  
appears on your screen indicating that backup battery power is low. See the Managing  
battery power section in chapter 7.)  
To install the backup batteries  
1. Slide down the cover plate from the backup battery  
compartment on the left side of your HP Jornada (see  
diagram).  
2. Remove the battery tray from the compartment by  
pulling the ribbon attached to the cover plate.  
3. Place the two backup batteries in the tray with the  
positive side facing up.

Accessing personal e-mail and the Internet  
If you want e-mail and Internet service only (with no  
access to a company network), you will need:  
An installed modem—If you have the HPÊJornada 820,  
you have an internal modem so you are ready to go. If you  
have the HPÊJornada 820e, you can choose from a variety  
of available PC Card modems. (For more information  
about compatible PC Card modems, go to the HPÊJornada  
Accessories page on the Hewlett-Packard Web site at  
www.hp.com/handheld.)  
A PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) or SLIP (Serial  
Line Internet Protocol) account—An Internet service  
provider (ISP) will provide you with important informa-  
tion, such as a user name, password, dial-up phone  
number, server names, and so on.  
A dial-up connection set up on your HP Jornada—  
This step is made easier with the HP Jornada dialup  
application.  
Access to a phone line—You can connect to an analog  
phone line with your HP Jornada 820. Or, connect to the  
type of phone line supported by the PC Card modem you  
install in the HPÊJornada 820e.  
If you use the HP Jornada 820, you must use an analog phone line to connect your  
modem; connecting to a digital phone line can damage your modem.

Installing and configuring a modem  
The HP Jornada 820 has a built-in 56K V.90 modem for  
easy communication, so no installation is required. The  
HPÊJornada 820e supports 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/handheld.) Follow  
the manufacturer’s instructions included with the PC Card  
modem to install and configure it for use with your  
HPÊJornada.  
Getting an account with an Internet service provider  
To access the Internet and e-mail, you will need to contact  
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 infor-  
mation you need to connect your HP Jornada to the Internet  
and e-mail service. Please be sure to note the following:  
Your account user name.  
Your account password.  
Phone number of your ISP’s 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 HPÊJornada and connect to the  
Internet and your e-mail whenever you want. To make this  
configuration process easier, use the HPÊJornada dialup  
application. The HP Jornada dialup application 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 location, a procedure that sets dialing options  
The following sections describe the process that the  
HPÊJornada dialup application will lead you through  
and the type of information you will need to provide.  
ISP connection  
This portion of the program allows you to save and name  
your ISP connection configuration. You can have more than  
one connection configuration (for example, one connection to  
your corporate network and one to your personal ISP), so  
choose a connection name that will make it easy to deter-  
mine which connection you want when you are ready to dial  
up. At this point, you will also complete the following tasks:  
Choose E-mail 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 HPÊJornada  
dialup configuration process: ISP service setup, E-mail  
Service setup, and Web Service setup.

36 | HP Jornada H/PC 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 automati-  
cally, 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 HP Jornada  
default protocol for this option, 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  
At this stage in the HP Jornada dialup process, you can  
input the following e-mail 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 types—Your ISP may use POP3 or IMAP4 for  
receiving mail. In addition to using IMAP4 or POP3, 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 you are using POP3, you can ensure that your  
sent e-mail complies with MIME formatting (Multipurpose  
Internet Mail Extensions, a format that allows binary mes-

Disconnect after actions are performed  
Check for new mail at specified intervals  
• Display a message or sound an alarm when new  
mail arrives  
Only display messages from a specified number  
of recent days  
Get message headers only whenever you connect (for full  
download later)  
Get full copies of all messages and decide whether to  
download attachments when 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  
The HPÊJornada dialup application prompts you to select  
settings for Web services, such as your Home and Search  
pages, AutoDial and AutoDisconnect, plus Advanced options.  
Advanced options include security settings, caching (and  
cache size), and enabling cookies. You can also set a proxy  
server address, although this is not generally necessary for  
ISP connections.  
Home and Search pages—Set addresses for your Home  
and Search pages using this option.  
AutoDial and AutoDisconnect—These options allow  
HPÊJornada to connect and disconnect automatically from  
your ISP when an application (such as the Inbox program or  
Pocket Internet Explorer) requires access. Remember that  
your device needs to be connected to the phone line before a  
connection is possible.  
Pocket Internet Explorer appearance—Select the  
appropriate check box to show pictures, play sounds, or  
make the Web page fit onto your device screen. Making  
these adjustments can decrease or increase your Web  
browsing speed in some cases.  
Advanced settings—Control some advanced Web service  
features with the HP Jornada dialup application. You can  
enable cookies and caching 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-authenti-  
cation codes.

Connecting to corporate e-mail and network  
from offsite  
If you want access to corporate e-mail and Internet services  
when you are offsite, you will need:  
An installed modem—If you have the HP Jornada 820,  
you have an internal modem, and you are ready to go. If  
you have the HP Jornada 820e, you can choose from a  
variety of available PC Card modems. (For more informa-  
tion about compatible PC Card modems, go to the  
HPÊJornada Accessories page on the Hewlett-Packard  
Web site at www.hp.com/handheld.)

An account with your corporate network set for  
dialing in to your network server—Your network  
administrator can provide you with important informa-  
tion, such as a user name, password, dial-up phone  
number(s), server names, and so on.  
A dial-up connection set up on your HP Jornada—  
This step is made easier with the HP Jornada dialup  
application, included on your HP Jornada.  
Access to a phone line—You can connect to an analog  
phone line with your HP Jornada 820. Or, connect to the  
phone line supported by your PC Card modem if you have  
the HP Jornada 820e.  
If you use the HP Jornada 820 (with built-in modem), you must use an analog phone  
line to connect your modem. Connecting to a digital phone line can damage your modem.  
Installing and configuring a modem  
The HP Jornada 820 has a built-in 56K V.90 modem for  
easy communication, so no installation is required. The  
HPÊJornada 820e supports 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/handheld.) To  
install and configure a PC Card modem for use with your  
HP Jornada, follow the manufacturer’s instructions .  
Establishing a network dial-up account  
Before you can log on to your network using a modem, you  
must establish a network account with your network admin-  
istrator. Most likely, you will dial in to a server that has a  
modem installed to receive your call. The information you  
need for this connection is similar to the information needed  
to connect to the Internet through an ISP:  
Your account user name  
Your account password

your user name.)  
Your e-mail password (This may be the same as your  
user password.)  
The network POP3 or IMAP4 host name  
The network SMTP host name (if required)  
Setting up a remote connection to your network  
When you are connecting to your network, you can use the  
HP Jornada dialup application to create a connection for you.  
Once you have set up an account with your network adminis-  
trator, you need to set up a connection on your HPÊJornada  
so that you can connect to your network, e-mail, and intranet  
(possibly including the Internet) whenever you want to. The  
HP Jornada application leads you through the process of  
configuring for your connections, including:  
Setting up a connection to your network.  
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). In this case, the Web may be your corporate  
intranet or the Web.  
Setting up a location, which sets dialing options.  
You will have the opportunity to set the following options  
during the configuration process.  
Service provider connection  
This portion of the program allows you to name and save  
your network connection configuration. You can have more  
than one connection created (for instance, if you want to  
connect to your corporate network resources as well as a  
personal ISP). So, naming the connections will help you  
know which connection you want to choose when you are

ready to dial up. At this time, you will also complete the  
following tasks:  
Choose E-mail or Web Service—You can choose one or  
both options. Your network administrator can tell you which  
options are available to you.  
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:  
Service Provider (in this case, your network administrator),  
E-mail Service, and Web Service.  
Input Service Provider information—This includes  
information provided by your network administrator, such  
as the dial-up telephone number and IP, DNS, and WINS  
address settings. Many networks automatically (or, dynami-  
cally) set both IP and DNS addresses. If your network does  
not assign these automatically, you should clear the Server-  
assigned addresses option and type the addresses.  
When you set the IP address, you can also choose to  
use SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) if your network  
uses this protocol. PPP (Point-to-Point Protocol) is the  
HPÊJornada setup default protocol, but SLIP is supported as  
well. If you have a SLIP account, select the Use SLIP check  
box during the IP setup portion of the HP Jornada dialup  
configuration process.  
You also have the option to choose software and IP header compression options. Ask your  
network administrator if these options are recommended for your account.

E-mail Service  
At this stage in the process, you can input the following  
e-mail 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 log on to  
your network. However, sometimes another name and  
password are used for this service.  
Service types—Your network may use POP3 or IMAP4  
protocol for receiving mail. Networks use another protocol  
for sending messages, called SMTP (Simple Mail Transfer  
Protocol). Some networks may require you to enter SMTP  
server information. Refer to your network administrator to  
find out if this requirement applies to your configuration.  
Settings—You can choose a variety of E-mail Service  
settings. You can ensure that your sent e-mail complies with  
MIME formatting (Multipurpose Internet Mail  
Extensions, a format that allows binary messages, such as  
graphics and audio files, to be sent over the Internet). You  
can also set e-mail services to:  
• Disconnect after actions are performed  
• Check for new mail at specified intervals  
• Display a message or sound an alarm when new mail  
arrives  
• Only display messages from a specified number of  
recent days  
• Get message headers only when you connect (for full  
download later)  
• Get full copies of all messages and decide whether to  
download attachments when you connect  
The default options offer the settings used by many service providers. If you are not sure  
which settings to use, or you do not have guidance from your network administrator, try  
the default settings.

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 more  
information about reading and sending e-mail attachments,  
see online Help.  
If you choose to download attachments to messages, you  
can read them or save them on your HP Jornada or storage  
device. You can save attachments automatically to a storage  
card.

Synchronization with your desktop PC  
You can synchronize your HP Jornada e-mail with the e-  
mail program (Outlook or Exchange) on your desktop PC  
partner. When you synchronize:  
Messages are copied from the Inbox folder on your  
desktop computer to the Inbox folder on your HP  
Jornada (by default, no attachments will be copied).  
Messages on the two computers are linked. So, for  
instance, 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.  
If you want to synchronize your e-mail, you must connect to  
your desktop PC partner. In the Mobile Devices window,  
choose ActiveSync Options from the Tools menu, and  
then click Message. For more information about synchro-  
nizing, see the Connecting to your desktop PC section

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. After you have set up  
an online connection with your ISP or your network ac-  
count, you are ready to dial up and start browsing the Web  
or your intranet. You can set Pocket Internet Explorer to  
automatically dial a connection you create whenever you use  
Pocket Internet Explorer.

Connecting for the first time  
You can connect to a desktop PC using your HP Jornada  
serial port, or you can connect to an infrared-equipped  
desktop or notebook PC using the infrared port. Before you  
connect, you must install Windows CE Services on the  
desktop PC. Then, you can connect your HP Jornada to your  
desktop PC with the sync cable, the infrared port, or a  
network connection, and establish a partnership.  
Setting up Windows CE Services  
and establishing a partnership  
Microsoft Windows CE Services with ActiveSync™ enables  
you to synchronize the information on your desktop PC with  
the information on your device. Synchronization compares  
the data on your device with your desktop PC and updates  
both computers with the most recent information. For  
example:  
Keep your Pocket Outlook data current by synchronizing  
your mobile device with your choice of Microsoft Outlook  
(Inbox synchronization with Outlook Express is not  
currently supported), Microsoft Schedule+, or Microsoft  
Exchange on your desktop PC.  
Synchronize Word and Excel documents, Access and other  
ODBC databases and tables, and InkWriter documents  
between your device and desktop PC. Your files are  
automatically converted to the correct format.  
With Windows CE Services, you can:  
Back up and restore your HP Jornada data  
Add and remove programs on your HP Jornada  
Move and copy files (rather than synchronize files)  
between your device and your desktop PC  
Windows CE Services includes several components. The  
Windows CE Services Setup Wizard detects which software

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). A single desktop PC can partner with any  
number of H/PCs or palm-size PCs. This is useful if you have  
more than one computer running WindowsÊCE, or if several  
mobile professionals share a single desktop PC.  
Following the New Partnership Wizard  
The New Partnership Wizard will help you create a partner-  
ship and offer you options for synchronizing Pocket Outlook  
data, e-mail messages, and files between your HPÊJornada  
and desktop PC. When the New Mobile Device Detected  
dialog box appears on your desktop PC, click Synchronize,  
and then follow the instructions on the screen of your desktop  
PC to complete the New Partnership Wizard.  
The wizard prompts you to type a name and a description for  
your HP Jornada. The name can be anything you choose (up  
to 15 alphanumeric characters, no spaces) and should provide  
an easy way for you to identify your HP Jornada. The  
description could be the make and model of the device (e.g.,  
HP Jornada 820 H/PC) or a property control number.  
You can later change the device name and description using the Communications control  
panel on your HP Jornada. On the Start menu, point to Settings, click Control  
Panel, and then double-click the Communications icon.  
The wizard also prompts you to choose settings for synchroni-  
zation. If you choose to enable synchronization, you can set  
ActiveSync either to synchronize automatically each time

you connect your HP Jornada to your desktop PC, or to  
synchronize continuously—whenever the synchronized  
information changes, for as long as the computers are  
connected.  
Regardless of the options you choose while completing the wizard, you can also  
synchronize at any moment by choosing the Synchronize Now command from the  
Tools menu of the Mobile Devices window. For more information, see the Synchronizing  
data section in this chapter.  
Troubleshooting partnerships

or if you have disconnected your HP Jornada and need to re-  
establish the connection, you can establish a manual connec-  
tion using the PC Link program on your HPÊJornada.  
To connect manually  
1. On the HP Jornada Start menu, point to  
Programs, point to Communications,  
and then click PC Link. The Connection Status  
dialog box appears. After a few moments a sound

performed a full reset of your HP Jornada by removing all  
power or allowing the batteries to die.  
In these cases, when you connect your HP Jornada to a 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.  
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 auto-  
matically 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  
HPÊJornada 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 have 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 6.  
Browsing your HP Jornada desktop  
While your HP Jornada is connected to a desktop PC, you  
can use Windows CE Services to browse the contents of your  
HP Jornada from your desktop. Your HP Jornada appears as  
an icon in the Mobile Devices window on your desktop PC.

To specify data to synchronize  
1. On your desktop PC, 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, 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 appropri-  
ate 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  
HPÊJornada, ActiveSync will indicate that a Synchroniza-  
tion conflict has occurred. When the Resolve Conflicts  
dialog box appears, as shown in the following figure, you  
can either resolve the conflict by selecting one of the items  
to replace or you can ignore the conflict.

Service (Windows NT) must be set up and configured so  
that your target PC can act as a server. (See your Win-  
dows documentation for further instructions.)  
Windows CE Services must be set up on the target PC  
(for instructions, see the Installing WindowsÊCE  
Services section in this chapter). The Auto Connect  
option should be set to At all times, also.  
Windows CE Services must be running, and the Waiting  
for mobile device to connect status message should  
appear in the Mobile Devices window.  
In the Windows CE Properties dialog box, Enable a  
network connection must be selected.

Transferring PIM data from older palmtop PCs  
If you have an older palmtop PC, you can transfer personal  
information manager (PIM) data (contacts, calendar, and  
task 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  
PC, and whether it uses WindowsÊCE Services to connect to  
your desktop PC.  
Migrating data from older Windows CE palmtop PCs  
If your data is stored on a palmtop PC that uses an older  
version of Windows CE, you must first back up the data to  
your desktop PC using the version of WindowsÊCE Services  
or H/PCÊExplorer that came with the device. Then, upgrade  
to WindowsÊCE 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.

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 HPÊJornada by synchronizing with  
Schedule+ using Windows CE Services 2.2.  
The English HP PIM Translation Utility is available on the  
HP Jornada Handheld PC compact disc included with your

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 using the HP Jornada compact disc  
1. Insert the HP Jornada compact disc into the  
CD-ROM drive on your desktop PC.  
2. On the main menu of the HP Jornada compact disc

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. In the Open File dialog box that appears, specify the  
appointment data file to translate, 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 has successfully completed,  
a message appears. Click OK to return to the

Limitation on appointment translation  
Although the Appointment Book applications on the  
HPÊ100LX/200LX palmtop PCs and HP OmniGo 100/120  
organizers and the Calendar application on the HPÊPalmtop  
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 sections below.  
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  
Schedule+ 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 straight-  
forward. 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 trans-  
lating 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.

92 | HP Jornada H/PC User’s Guide  
• 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.  
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 correspond-  
ing cell in the right column. The None option is not avail-  
able 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.

Conserving memory  
Voice memos may consume large amounts of storage  
memory on your HP Jornada. If you record or store lots of  
voice memos, you may need to take steps to conserve  
memory.  
• Adjust the amount of storage memory available on  
your HP Jornada using the Memory tab in the System  
control panel.  
• Add more memory to your device with a CompactFlash  
Card or PC Card. (For a list of recommended cards, go to  
the Hewlett-Packard Web site at www.hp.com/handheld.)  
• Use HP Mobile Voice to store your voice memos in a  
compressed format. You can choose Mobile Voice format  
from the list of recording formats (in the Voice Recorder  
program, on the Tools menu, click Recording Format).  
This saves space, but lowers the quality of the recording,  
so try to speak close to the microphone to increase clarity.

ment page and start typing in either Outline or Normal  
view. A spelling checker is provided to verify spelling accu-  
racy, and you can quickly format text using buttons and  
menu commands similar to those found in Microsoft Word on  
your desktop PC. You can access international characters  
and symbols for currencies on the Tools menu. If you share  
documents with those who use other programs or those who  
do not have a Windows®ÊCE device, you can save documents  
in other file formats, such as .doc, .rtf, or .txt. The .rtf file  
format will allow you to keep much of the same formatting,  
while the .txt file format will strip out all formatting.

Using Microsoft Pocket Excel  
You can use Pocket Excel to create workbooks, such as

Excel to open and edit workbooks created using the desktop  
version of Excel. When you are ready to save a workbook you  
created or edited, you can save it in a variety of formats,  
including Pocket Excel (.pxl) and Excel (.xls). If you plan to  
send the document through e-mail to someone who will be  
using Excel, not Pocket Excel, be sure to save it in the Excel  
(.xls) format.  
Pocket Excel provides fundamental spreadsheet tools, such as  
formulas, functions, sorting, and filtering. You can split  
panes to easily view different areas of a large worksheet. You  
can also “freeze” the top and leftmost panes in a worksheet to  
keep row and column labels or other data visible as you scroll  
through a sheet.

Backing up and restoring data  
To prevent loss of data, you should back up your  
HPÊJornada data frequently. You can back up your  
HPÊJornada 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 Calendar, Task, and Contact (PIM) databases,  
to a PC Card or CompactFlash Card.  
Using Windows CE Services Backup at your PC  
The Windows CE Services Backup feature creates a complete  
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  
WindowsÊCE Services, all data on your HP Jornada is  
replaced 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, click  
Backup on the Tools menu in the Mobile Devices window.  
For more information about WindowsÊCE Services Backup,  
see online Help.  
Using HP Jornada backup

Pocket Outlook data while you are traveling or while you are  
away from your desktop PC. You can back up the informa-  
tion to a PC Card or CompactFlash Card for secure storage.  
You can also back up data to a folder on your HPÊJornada.

Adding to your HP Jornada  
This section describes how to add functionality to your  
HPÊJornada by installing software and adding peripherals  
and storage cards. You will also learn how to customize the  
WindowsÊCE desktop and working environment.  
Installing programs  
You can add even more functionality to your HP Jornada by  
installing third-party software. A wide variety of commercial  
software is available for Windows CE, ranging from custom  
business applications to system utilities to games and  
entertainment. Some programs are available on the  
HPÊJornada compact disc and the Desktop Software for  
Microsoft WindowsÊCE compact disc included with your  
HPÊJornada. Other programs are available from software  
distributors and on the Web.  
You cannot run programs designed for Windows 95 or Windows NT on your HP Jornada.  
The only programs that will run on your HP Jornada must be designed specifically for  
Windows CE.  
The HP Jornada compact disc includes many productivity-  
enhancing programs, such as:  
• Microsoft Java virtual machine, which enables you to run  
cross-platform Java applications on your HP Jornada.  
TrueSync CE 2.0 from Starfish Software for synchronizing  
your HP Jornada with the REX™ Classic and  
REX™ Pro Cards.  
Explore the HP Jornada compact disc to enjoy these free  
software programs. For more information about a particular  
program, go to the Web site of that program’s manufacturer.  
Many other useful programs are available from the  
Hewlett-Packard Web site at www.hp.com/handheld.

Adjusting the HP Jornada touch pad  
The HP Jornada touch pad replaces the mouse as a naviga-  
tion and pointing device. The touch pad buttons act as the  
primary and secondary (left and right) mouse buttons. In  
addition, the touch pad can be used as a drawing tablet for  
use with Microsoft InkWriter®.  
The HP Jornada touch pad control panel enables you to set  
options commonly associated with the mouse or other point-  
ing device. It also lets you set special features unique to the  
HP Jornada touch pad, such as settings that remind you to  
take a short break.  
To open the HP touch pad control panel  
1. On the Start menu, point to Programs, point to  
HP Utilities, and then click HP touch pad.  
Prolonged use of the touch pad can put stress on your fin-  
gers, hands, and wrists. To reduce the risk of fatigue or  
stress from using the touch pad, the HP Jornada touch pad  
surface is very sensitive and requires only slight pressure  
from your fingertips.  
For information about the causes and prevention of repetitive strain injuries (RSI), see  
Appendix A.  
Scheduled breaks  
Frequent breaks can significantly decrease fingertip and  
wrist fatigue. Use the Short Breaks tab of the HP touch  
pad Properties dialog box to remind yourself to take a  
short break from the keyboard after a set number of minutes

Tap and drag behavior  
Use the Touch pad tab to set properties of the HPÊJornada  
touch pad. For example, you can set it so that you can simply  
tap the touch pad rather than click the primary button.  
Touch pad options  
When you are typing, you may find it comfortable to rest  
your wrists on the edge of the keyboard. You can automati-  
cally disable the touch pad when you type, so you can rest  
your wrists on the touch pad without inadvertently moving  
the cursor or triggering a click.  
To disable the touch pad  
1. On the Touch pad tab of the HP touch pad  
Properties dialog box, select Disable touch pad  
when typing.  
2. Adjust the slider to set the interval after which  
the touch pad is reactivated.  
Managing battery power  
Because the data and files you save on your HPÊJornada are  
stored in RAM, it is extremely important that you maintain  
a continuous power supply to your HPÊJornada at all times.  
If your HPÊJornada runs out of power, all information you  
have entered will be lost. The WindowsÊCE 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.

136 | HP Jornada H/PC User’s Guide  
HP Jornada allows you to run on AC power using the AC  
adapter or to run on battery power for convenience and  
portability. HP Jornada uses two types of batteries. The  
main battery, an “intelligent” rechargeable lithium-ion  
battery pack, supplies power whenever your HPÊJornada is  
not connected to AC power. Under normal circumstances, the  
main battery will provide up to 10 hours of continuous use  
without recharging.  
The backup batteries protect your data when the main  
battery runs down. The two coin-sized, lithium-ion backup  
batteries do not provide enough power to operate your  
HPÊJornada. They are intended only to protect your data  
until the main battery is recharged. When the main battery  
is very low, your HP Jornada will shut down, and you will be  
unable to restart it until you charge the battery or connect to  
AC power.  
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.

You should respond immediately when a message warning of low battery power is  
displayed. When the main battery power is low, simply connect the HP Jornada to AC  
power to recharge. When the backup battery power is low, the backup batteries must be  
replaced 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 batteries.  
For procedures on charging the main battery or replacing the  
backup batteries, see the Setting up your HPÊJornada  
section in chapter 2.  
Using the Power control panel  
Use the Power control panel to check the power level of the  
main battery and backup batteries, as well as to set certain  
options that will improve battery life.  
Power Status tab  
The Power Status tab displays information about the  
current state of your batteries. This information helps you  
determine how long you can operate your HP Jornada before  
needing to recharge the battery.  
The power level of the main battery is displayed as a percent-  
age of full power and in terms of how many hours (estimated)  
remain before the battery must be recharged. When  
approximately 30 minutes or less of battery time remain,  
the low battery icon is displayed in the Windows CE  
taskbar.  
The power level of the backup batteries is indicated as  
Good, Low, or Very Low power. When the backup battery

power is very low, you should replace the backup batteries  
as soon as possible.  
Power Saving tab  
The Power Saving tab enables you to set certain options  
that directly affect the life of the main battery:  
Auto-Suspend—Triggers HP Jornada to auto-suspend  
operation after a period of continuous idle time. You can  
select to auto-suspend while operating on either battery  
or AC power, and you can specify the amount of idle  
time in minutes.  
Dimming—Dims the display after a period of continu-  
ous idle time. You can specify the amount of time in  
seconds.  
Conserving battery power  
Under normal circumstances, the HP Jornada Standard  
Battery should provide up to 10 hours of continuous use;  
however, certain tasks require more battery power and  
deplete the main battery faster. Follow the tips below to  
maximize battery life.  
Reduce the brightness of the display. Compensate  
for low light by increasing the contrast. (See the Using  
the HP settings application section in this chapter.)  
Shorten auto-suspend time. Use the Power control  
panel to set the length of continuous idle time before  
your HP Jornada auto-suspends. Press the On/Off key  
or click Suspend on the Start menu to turn off your  
HP Jornada when it is not in use, even for a short time.  
Always use AC power when connecting your  
HPÊJornada to your desktop PC. Note that your  
HPÊJornada will not auto-suspend while it is connected,  
so you must be careful not to allow the batteries to  
run down.

& Volume control panel to turn on only the most neces-  
sary system sounds.  
Set the screen to dim automatically after a short  
time. Use the Power control panel to set the auto-  
dimming feature.  
Connect to AC power when using an external  
monitor. Using an external monitor consumes  
considerable power and can drain your battery.  
Avoid using PC Cards while on battery power.  
Some PC Cards (especially PC Card modems) use  
considerable power and will quickly drain your battery.  
Disconnect USB device when not in use. USB  
devices use considerable power and will quickly drain  
your battery. (See the Adding peripherals section in  
this chapter.)

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 key, try holding the button down for a full  
second. If that does not work:  
Make sure your battery cover is locked and all expansion  
slots are secured.  
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  
HPÊJornada 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, you may reset after you restore data from your  
desktop PC or when the operating system stops respond-  
ing. There are two methods of resetting:  
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”) re-  
stores your HP Jornada to its original state, erasing all  
information you have entered.

Chapter 8 | Troubleshooting | 149  
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 6.  
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.”  
When you perform a soft reset you will lose unsaved data in all open documents  
or programs.  
Reset button  
To perform a soft reset  
1. Use a pen or a paperclip to press the Reset button  
on the HP Jornada keyboard.

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  
programs you have installed. If you have forgotten your  
password, 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 6.)  
To perform a full reset  
1. Disconnect the AC adapter from your HP Jornada.  
2. Remove the main battery.  
3. Remove the backup battery tray.  
4. Wait at least 5 minutes, and then reinstall the  
batteries and reconnect the AC adapter. (For more  
information, see the Setting up your HPÊJornada  
section in chapter 2.) Your HPÊJornada 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 chapterÊ2.  
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  
chapterÊ6.

Appendix A  
Ergonomics  
This chapterÊprovides 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 adjusted equipment may not be suffi-  
cient 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.  
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  
discomfort, seek professional advice immediately. Typi-  
cally, 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 equip-  
ment requiring repeated motion of the hands and forearms.  
Literature 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 58ÊdBA.  
Where possible, relative air humidity should be in the  
range of 40 to 60 percent. Recommended room temperature  
is 19 to 23ʺC (66 to 73ʺF). 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 key-  
board 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  
frequently 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,  
shoulders, neck, and back. You should stretch at least once  
an hour.

Using the HP Jornada touch pad  
Prolonged use of the touch pad can put stress on fingers,  
hands, and wrists. To reduce the risk of fatigue or stress  
while using the touch pad, we have included the HPÊJornada  
short breaks application, and we have installed a very  
sensitive touch pad that requires only low pressure for  
activation. These additions reduce the risk of soreness and  
fatigue due to friction between your finger and the touch pad.  
The HP Jornada short breaks application periodically alerts  
you to take a short break and offers a variety of settings that  
will aid you in the use of the touch pad. Use the HPÊJornada  
touch pad control panel to change the default settings to fit  
your own requirements. For more information, see chapterÊ7.

Glossary  
AC adapter A connector that provides external power (not  
battery power) to your HPÊJornada. 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 HPÊJornada 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 HPÊJornada  
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 your  
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 HPÊJornada. 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  
HPÊJornada 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 HPÊJornada  
and another computer by means of the sync cable or IR port.  
DNS Domain Name System (DNS) is 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.  
full reset To return 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.”)  
Internet service provider (ISP) A company that provides  
access to the Internet.

IP Internet Protocol (IP) 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 A local area network (LAN) is 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.  
NIC A network interface card (NIC) is 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.  
ODBC databases Open DataBase Connectivity (ODBC), is  
a standard database access method. The goal of ODBC is  
to make it possible to access any data from any applica-  
tion, regardless 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 (PCT) is 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 (POP) was 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  
(Internet Message Access Protocol).  
PPP Point-to-Point Protocol (PPP) is 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  
HPÊJornada 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.  
restore To return 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 Protocol (SLIP) is 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.”)
