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.

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.
