•
Turn off sounds—Use the HP settings application to
mute the HP Jornada speaker, or use the Sound &
Volume control panel to turn on only the most necessary
system sounds.
•
Avoid using PC Cards while on battery power—
Some PC Cards (especially PC Card modems) use consid-
erable power and will quickly drain your battery.
Use the AC adapter to plug your HP Jornada into external power whenever possible,
especially when connecting to a desktop PC, when using a PC Card modem, network
interface card (NIC), or other peripheral. Do not let the alarm notification LED flash for a
long time.
