9 Messaging

You can use your HP iPAQ to keep in touch with your family and friends through messaging. Use your
HP iPAQ to keep you updated on your e-mail messages. You can also keep a track of appointments
and meetings using your HP iPAQ.

Understanding Messages

To send and receive e-mail messages using your HP iPAQ, you can:

Send and receive e-mail messages using the Direct Push Technology for Exchange server.

●

Send and receive e-mail messages for an e-mail account with an ISP.

●

Send and receive e-mail messages for an e-mail account that you access using your VPN

●

connection. You will need your account settings for VPN connection (typically a work account).

You can also send pictures, video, and audio files on your phone and storage card using MMS. You
can send only pictures, or a combination of pictures and videos, or audio files. Text can also be added
to a MMS slide.

Text messages can be sent using your HP iPAQ. Text messages are sent and received through your
wireless service provider using the phone number as the message address.

NOTE: MMS or Internet e-mail is sent and received by connecting to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3)

or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) e-mail server. When connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4
server, you use a modem to connect to your ISP. You can also use your HP iPAQ to connect by using
a cellular line connection (for example, using MMS).

Using Folders

Each messaging account has its own set of folders with five default Messaging folders:

Deleted Items

●

Drafts

●

Inbox

●

Outbox

●

Sent Items

●

The messages you send and receive through the account are stored in these folders. You can also
create additional folders within each account.

Understanding Messages 43

The way folders work vary by type:

1. ActiveSync: If you use an Outlook e-mail account, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook

are synchronized automatically with your HP iPAQ. You can choose to synchronize additional
folders by designating them for synchronization. The folders you create and the messages you
move are mirrored on the e-mail server. You can read the messages while you are away from your
computer.

2. MMS/Text Messages: If you use an MMS account or a text message account, messages are

stored in the Inbox folder.

3. POP3 account: If you use a POP3 account and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created,

the link is broken between the messages on your HP iPAQ and their copies on the e-mail server.
When you connect, the e-mail server detects that the messages are missing from the Inbox folder
on your HP iPAQ and deletes them from the e-mail server. This prevents having duplicate copies
of a message, but it also means that you no longer have access to messages that you move to
folders created from anywhere except your HP iPAQ.

4. IMAP4 account: If you use an IMAP4 account, the folders you create and the e-mail messages

you move are mirrored on the e-mail server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime
you connect to your e-mail server, whether it is from your HP iPAQ or computer. This
synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your e-mail server, create new folders,
or rename/delete folders when connected. You can also set different download options for each
folder.

Synchronizing E-mail

When you synchronize Outlook e-mail on a computer with your device, e-mail messages are
synchronized as follows:

Messages in the Inbox folder on your computer or Exchange Server are copied to the Inbox folder

●

of the Outlook e-mail account on your device.

Messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Exchange Server or Outlook, and

●

then sent from those programs.

When you delete a message on your device, it gets deleted from your computer or Exchange Server

●

the next time you synchronize.

The default sync settings synchronize messages from the past three days only and the first 2 KB

●

of each new message is downloaded.

NOTE: Text messages are not received via synchronization. Instead, they are sent to your HP iPAQ

via your service provider.

Composing E-mail using Voice Commander

You can use the Voice Commander feature on your HP iPAQ to select the recipient of your e-mail.

1. Press the Voice Commander button on your HP iPAQ.

2. Hold your HP iPAQ 10 cm away from your face and say Compose Email to (contact name) to

launch the e-mail compose form with the recipient added.

3. You can now compose your message by speaking into the microphone. This audio file will be sent

as an attachment.

44 Chapter 9 Messaging

To compose an audio e-mail:

2. Hold your HP iPAQ 10 cm away from your face and say Compose Audio E-mail to (contact

name) to start recording.

3. Record your message and press Stop.

4. Say Confirm if you want to send the message or say Retry/Cancel.

Setting up Messaging Accounts

Text Messaging

Text messaging is the transmission of short text messages to and from a mobile phone, fax machine,
and/or IP address. A single text message cannot be longer than 160 alpha-numeric characters or cannot
contain pictures or graphics.

Messages longer than 160 alpha-numeric characters are sent as multiple text messages. A character
count is visible when text messages (New/Reply/Forward) are composed. The count also shows how
many text messages are generated when the message is sent.

The Text Message Service Center phone number is provided by your mobile phone service provider.
Text messaging should function correctly after activating your account.

MMS Messaging

The Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is a method of transmitting photographs, video clips, sound

SAR Notice

THIS DEVICE MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES

Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed
the limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) recommended by international guidelines (ICNIRP).
These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the
general population. The guidelines were developed by independent scientific organizations through
periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The guidelines include a substantial safety margin
designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.

The exposure standard for mobile devices employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit stated in the international guidelines is 2.0 W/kg*. Tests for
SAR are conducted using standard operating positions with the device transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power
level, the actual SAR of the device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is
because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required
to reach the network.

In general, the closer you are to a base station, the lower the power output of the device. Before a phone
model is available for sale to the public, compliance with the European R&TTE directive must be shown.
This directive includes as one essential requirement the protection of the health and the safety for the
user and any other person. The highest SAR value for this device when tested for use at the ear is

1.15 W/kg.

This device meets RF exposure guidelines when used either in the normal use position against the ear
or when positioned away from the body. When a carry case, belt clip or holder is used for body-worn
operation other than the HP belt clip supplied with the product, it should not contain metal.

Equipment Warning 75

* The SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 2.0 watts/kilogram (W/kg) averaged over ten
grams of body tissue. The guidelines incorporate a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements. SAR values may vary
depending on national reporting requirements and the network band.

Wireless Notices

In some environments, the use of wireless devices may be restricted. Such restrictions may apply aboard
airplanes, in hospitals, near explosives, in hazardous locations, etc. If you are uncertain of the policy
that applies to the use of this device, please ask for authorization to use it prior to turning it on.

U.S. Regulatory Wireless Notice

WARNING! Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Radiation The radiated output power of this device

is below the FCC radio frequency exposure limits. Nevertheless, the device should be used in such a
manner that the potential for human contact during normal operation is minimized.

To avoid the possibility of exceeding the FCC radio frequency exposure limits, human proximity to the
antenna should be minimized. The Wireless LAN antenna is located in the bottom front side of the HP
iPAQ. The GSM antenna is located in the top back of the HP iPAQ. No metallic body accessories are
allowed and 1.5 cm spacing between PDA and the body must be maintained to satisfy RF Exposure.

This PDA has been tested and demonstrated compliance when Bluetooth, WLAN, and mobile phone
are transmitting simultaneously. The highest FCC SAR value for this device when tested for use at the
head is 1.233 W/kg and when tested for use at the body is 1.322 W/kg. This PDA must not be co-located
or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
