Chapter 7 Optimizing your HP Jornada 137

The power status icon appears in the taskbar only under certain conditions, such as when battery power is low or when your HP Jornada is connected to external power.

Checking battery status

The power area in the Power control panel indicates whether your HP Jornada is running on battery power or connected to AC power, and displays the status of both the main and backup batteries. In addition, 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:

Icon Indicates

Running on AC power

Main battery charging

Running on battery power, main battery low

Backup battery low

Backup battery very low

It is important that you respond immediately when a message warning of low battery power is displayed. When the main battery is low, simply connect the HP Jornada to AC power to recharge. (You can use your HP Jornada while the battery is charging.) When the backup battery is low, replace it 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 battery.

Conserving battery power

Under normal circumstances, the HP Jornada Standard Battery should provide up to 7 hours of continuous use; however, certain tasks require more battery power and deplete the main battery faster. Follow these tips to maximize battery life.
