Using the HP Jornada touch pad

Prolonged use of the touch pad can put stress on fingers, hands, and wrists. To reduce the risk of fatigue or stress while using the touch pad, we have included the HP Jornada short breaks application, and we have installed a very sensitive touch pad that requires only low pressure for activation. These additions reduce the risk of soreness and fatigue due to friction between your finger and the touch pad.

The HP Jornada short breaks application periodically alerts you to take a short break and offers a variety of settings that will aid you in the use of the touch pad. Use the HP Jornada touch pad control panel to change the default settings to fit your own requirements. For more information, see chapter 7.
