Backup battery very low

It is important that you respond immediately when a low battery power warning 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 9 hours of continuous use; however, certain tasks require more battery power and deplete the main battery faster. Follow these tips to maximize battery life.

To set or shorten auto-suspend time

1.On the Start menu, point to Settings, tap Control Panel, and then double-tap the Power icon.
