• 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 (espe-
cially PC Card modems) use considerable 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.
