When you are typing, you may find it comfortable to rest your wrists on the edge of the keyboard. You can automatically disable the touch pad when you type, so you can rest your wrists on the touch pad without inadvertently moving the cursor or triggering a click.

To disable the touch pad

1.On the Touch pad tab of the HP touch pad Properties dialog box, select Disable touch pad when typing.

2.Adjust the slider to set the interval after which the touch pad is reactivated.

Managing battery power

Because the data and files you save on your HP Jornada are stored in RAM, it is extremely important that you maintain a continuous power supply to your HP Jornada at all times. If your HP Jornada runs out of power, all information you have entered will be lost. The Windows CE operating system and programs are stored in ROM and cannot be erased; however, any programs you have added and custom settings in existing programs will be lost.
