Be sure that your desktop PC is on before placing your HP Jornada in the docking cradle
or connecting the sync cable. If the desktop PC is off, your HP Jornada or desktop PC may
freeze, forcing you to reset or restart. For information on resetting your HP Jornada, see
the Resetting section in chapter 8.
To connect using the docking cradle
1. Connect the 9-pin end of the sync cable to a serial
port on your desktop PC.
2. Fully insert the flat end of the sync cable, arrow side
up, into the serial port on the back of the docking
cradle.
3. Turn off your HP Jornada and disconnect any cables
(telephone cable, AC adapter, sync cable, etc.) from
your HP Jornada.
4. Connect the AC adapter to the DC jack on the back of
the docking cradle, and then plug in the power cable.
Do not connect your HP Jornada to more than one source of AC power. You must disconnect
the AC adapter from your HP Jornada before placing in it in the docking cradle to avoid
damaging your HP Jornada.
5. Align your HP Jornada in the docking cradle, and
push down firmly until the HP Jornada snaps into
place.
Your HP Jornada should start automatically and establish a
connection to the desktop computer. To remove your
HP Jornada from the docking cradle, push the release
button on the cradle, and carefully lift your HP Jornada
from the cradle.
