Other tips for conserving battery power
• Reduce the brightness of the display—Compensate for low light by
increasing the contrast. (See the Using the HP settings application
section in this chapter.) Use the Power control panel to set the auto-
dimming feature.
• Suspend frequently—Use the Power control panel to shorten the length
of continuous idle time before your HP Jornada auto-suspends. Press the
On/Off key or tap Suspend on the Start menu to turn off your HP Jornada
when it is not in use, even for a short time.
• Always use AC power when connecting your HP Jornada to your desktop
PC—Note that your HP Jornada will not auto-suspend while it is con-
nected.
