Using the Stylus

Your iPAQ Pocket PC comes with a stylus that you should use to
tap or write on your screen.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to your iPAQ Pocket PC screen,

Ä

never use any device other than the stylus that comes with the
Pocket PC or an approved replacement to tap or write on the
screen. If you lose or break your stylus, you can order extras at
www.hp.com/products/pocketpc/options.

You can perform three basic actions using the stylus:

Tap —Lightly touch the screen to select or open an item. Lift the
stylus after you tap an item. Tapping is equivalent to clicking an
item with the mouse on your personal computer.

Drag—Place the point of the stylus on the screen and drag an
item across the screen without lifting the stylus until you have
completed the selection. Dragging is equivalent to pressing the
Shift key while dragging your personal computer mouse with the
mouse button pressed.

Getting to Know Your iPAQ Pocket PC

Tap and hold—Hold the stylus pointer on an item for a short
time until a menu displays. Tapping and holding is equivalent to
right-clicking your personal computer mouse button. When you
tap and hold, a circle of red dots appears around the stylus to
indicate that the menu will soon pop up.

✎

personal computer with your iPAQ Pocket PC, you must have
Microsoft Outlook 98 or later installed on your personal
computer. Outlook 2002 is included on the Companion CD. If
you do not have Outlook, install the Microsoft Outlook 2002
software from the CD. Microsoft Outlook Express will not
work with the iPAQ Pocket PC and ActiveSync.

Synchronizing with Your Computer

Ä

ActiveSync on your personal computer before you connect your
iPAQ Pocket PC to your computer.

During ActiveSync installation, you can:

2–2 User’s Guide

Using ActiveSync

If you select to synchronize files, you can drag and drop the

✎

selected files from your computer to the synchronized folder on
your iPAQ Pocket PC. If you named your device “PC1” when you
created your partnership, then the synchronized folder is named
“PC1.” When you synchronize, the files move to your iPAQ
Pocket PC.

To install Microsoft ActiveSync on your personal computer:

1. Insert the Companion CD into the CD tray or slot on your
personal computer.

2. Select the link to install Microsoft ActiveSync.

3. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard. For more
help, click the ActiveSync Help button during installation.

The information you select automatically synchronizes when
your installation is complete.

4. After installing ActiveSync on your personal computer,
connect the iPAQ Pocket PC to the personal computer using
the USB Synchronization Cradle/Charger.

Using the Serial Infrared (IR) Connection

After setting up a connection with the USB connector on the
USB Synchronization Cradle/Charger, you can synchronize your
iPAQ Pocket PC and your personal computer using an infrared
connection if you have an infrared port or an infrared USB
adapter installed on your computer. The infrared connection
option works only on computers that have Microsoft Windows
98SE, Me, 2000, or XP operating systems installed.

User’s Guide 2–3

Using ActiveSync

To set up an infrared connection to a computer:

1. Synchronize your iPAQ Pocket PC with your computer using
the USB Synchronization Cradle/Charger.

2. Follow your computer manufacturer’s instructions to install
and set up an infrared port.

3. Remove the iPAQ Pocket PC from the cradle and line up the

Managing the Battery

Installing the Battery

If you remove the main battery from your iPAQ Pocket PC,
your device does not operate even if you try to use AC power.
However, the Pocket PC has a small internal backup battery that
allows you to change the main battery without losing RAM data
(user-installed programs and data) as long as it is replaced within
10 minutes. If the battery is removed from the unit for longer
than 10 minutes, you will lose unsaved RAM data and need to
reset the unit.

It is recommended that you fully charge the iPAQ Pocket PC
battery before setting up the unit, and recharge regularly. Your
Pocket PC uses some power to maintain files in RAM and the
clock. While working at your desk, keep the Pocket PC connected
to the USB Synchronization Cradle/Charger. When traveling, it is
recommended that you carry the AC Adapter, Charger Adapter
plug, or an optional spare battery with you.

them if the battery completely discharges or if the battery is removed
from the unit for extended periods of time.

You do not need to reinstall applications and data installed in the
