Power Tips

Follow these tips to ensure the longest use of your hp Jornada between charges:

•Turn off the backlight. Press and hold the power button to turn off the backlight, or use the Backlight control panel to set the backlight to turn off automatically after a short period of inactivity.

•Turn off the display manually. If you are playing music or using other functions that do not require the display, turn off the display by pressing and holding the notification button/LED. (Turn on the display by pressing and holding the notification button/LED again.)

•Suspend frequently. Use the Power control panel to shorten the length of continuous idle time before your hp Jornada auto-suspends. Press the power button to turn off your hp Jornada when it is not in use, even for a short time.

•Always use ac power when connecting your hp Jornada to your desktop PC. Note that your hp Jornada will not auto- suspend while it is connected.

•Turn off sounds. Use the hp settings application to mute the speaker, or use the Sounds & Notifications control panel to turn off all but the most necessary system sounds.
