Chapter 2 Getting started 21

Using Help on your HP Jornada

You can get Help for specific programs, including Windows CE, as follows:

For detailed procedures and overview information about a program, on the Start menu, tap Help, and then tap the program name.

For Windows CE Help, tap the button in any program or dialog box where it appears.

To learn the function of a specific button or control, tap and hold on a toolbar button and its name will appear in a ToolTip. Drag the stylus off the toolbar button before lifting to avoid activating the button.

Online Help uses the same font setting as Pocket Internet Explorer. Changing the font size in Pocket Internet Explorer will also change the font size in Help.

Turning your HP Jornada on and off

One of the most convenient features of Windows CE and HP Jornada is “instant on.” With instant on, there is no waiting for HP Jornada to start up or shut down; you can start working immediately by pressing the On/Off key on the upper right corner of the keyboard. When you are finished, turn off your HP Jornada by pressing the On/Off key or by tapping Suspend on the Start menu. Turning off your HP Jornada simply suspends operation. When you turn it on again, you can resume working.

You can also set options in the Power control panel to turn your HP Jornada on and off automatically. For example, you can set your HP Jornada to turn on when you tap the touch screen or when you open the cover. To conserve battery power, you can set HP Jornada to auto-suspend or to turn itself off after a preset period of continuous idle time. By default, your HP Jornada will auto-suspend after 3 minutes while running on battery power. (For more information on these options and tips for conserving battery power, see the Managing battery power section in chapter 7.)
