Before you leave
Before you put your HP Jornada in your briefcase, take a few minutes to
prepare, and your trip will run smoothly.
• Identify your HP Jornada—If you will be traveling for an extended period,
update the owner properties to include your address or contact informa-
tion at your destination.
• Ensure proper modem configuration— The built-in modem (models 680
and 690 only) is designed to meet the regulatory requirements within the
country of purchase only. If you travel to another country, it is recom-
mended that you use a PC Card modem that has been approved for use in
that country to ensure that the regulatory requirements are met. For a list
of approved PC Card modems, go to the HP Jornada accessories page on
the Hewlett-Packard Web site at www.hp.com/jornada.
• Synchronize—Make sure your calendar, contacts, and tasks databases
are up-to-date before you leave. Synchronize all items just before you
back up and disconnect.
• Back up your data—Perform a full backup to your desktop computer and
to a PC Card or CompactFlash Card. Carry the storage card with you—if
your HP Jornada loses power during the trip, you will be back up and
running in no time. For more info, see the Backing up section in chapter 5.
• Charge batteries—Make sure that your main battery is fully charged and
that your backup battery is good. Use the Power control panel to check
battery status, and connect to AC power if the main battery is low or
replace the backup battery if it is low. For more information, see the
Managing battery power section in this chapter.
• Lock the audio buttons to prevent inadvertent activation of the record
function—Slide the audio lock to the left, so the record or playback
functions will not be activated by accident.
• Set your desktop computer to allow dial-in—If you plan to dial in to your
desktop computer or synchronize from your destination, make sure you
prepare your desktop computer accordingly, and that no one will turn it
off while you’re away. For details on setting up your desktop computer
for remote synchronization, see the Synchronizing from a remote
location section in chapter 3.
