Installing the main battery
The HP Jornada Standard Battery provides power to your HP Jornada while
it is not connected to AC power. Under normal operating conditions, the
battery should provide power for up to 7 hours; however, battery life will
vary depending on how you use your HP Jornada.
The main battery fits into the bottom of your HP Jornada, as shown in the
following diagram.
This bottom view of the HP Jornada shows how to
install the main battery.
To install the main battery
1. Place the main battery in the battery slot on the bottom of your
HP Jornada and push firmly until it snaps into place.
After you install the main battery, your HP Jornada will turn on automatically. However,
you should connect the AC adapter and activate the backup battery before using your
device.
The main battery should be partially charged when removed from the box.
However, you should charge the main battery fully before operating your
HP Jornada on battery power. Charging the main battery takes approximately
3.5 hours. When the battery is fully charged, charging stops automatically;
the battery will not overcharge if left connected to AC power.
