Turning the HP Jornada 420 on and off

The HP Jornada does not need to be started up or shut down; you can start working immediately by pressing the On/Off button at the lower right corner of the P/PC. When you are finished, turn off the HP Jornada by pressing the On/Off button. Turning off the HP Jornada simply suspends operation. When you turn it on again, you can start working where you left off.

You can also turn on the HP Jornada in the following ways:

·by pressing the Start button

·by pressing the Record button

·by holding the stylus down on one of the hard icons

·by tapping the screen.

To conserve battery power, you can set the HP Jornada to auto- suspend after a preset period of continuous idle time. By default, the P/PC auto-suspends after 3 minutes while running on battery power. (For more information on auto-suspend and tips for conserving battery power, see “Managing battery power” on page 16.)
