Add Tele-typewriter (TTY) functionality

Add TTY functionality for people who are hearing impaired or hard-of-hearing

HP iPAQ products support Tele-typewriter (TTY) functionality, which allows people who are hearing impaired or with hearing limitations to communicate using existing telephony infrastructure, including cell phones. To achieve this, separately purchased TTY devices must be connected to the telephones on both ends of a telephone call session, and the HP iPAQ must be configured for TTY use. The sending TTY device generates a distinct audio tone for every supported character, and these tones are decoded and converted back into text on the receiving TTY device.

Due to the use of audio compression codecs in modern digital cell phones, these TTY audio tones might be unintentionally distorted while being transmitted through cell phones. Therefore, in order for TTY devices to continue to work in cellular networks, the cell phone must be set into a mode that optimizes the compression codec to handle TTY tones instead of the human voice.

To use TTY with the HP iPAQ, an optional TTY audio adapter must be plugged into the HP iPAQ headset connector. This TTY audio adapter converts the pin-out of the headset connector, which is designed for a wired ear bud and stereo headphones, to the pin-out required by most TTY devices.

Copy all contacts from your HP iPAQ to a SIM 33

Page 46

To purchase the TTY audio adapter (part number: FA709BAC3), visit http://www.hp.com, and then go to Home and Home office > Handhelds & Calculators > iPAQ accessories.

NOTE: As the HP iPAQ does not support internal Cellular Text Telephone Modem (CTM)

conversion, the TTY device you use must contain CTM conversion, or you must use an external CTM adapter between the HP iPAQ and the TTY device.

For information on connecting TTY devices or CTM adapters to the HP iPAQ, refer to the TTY device or CTM adapter manufacturer’s documentation.

HP is committed to developing products, services, and information that are accessible to everyone, including people with disabilities or age-related limitations. For more information, visit

http://www.hp.com/accessibility.

Enable TTY support

NOTE: Before enabling TTY support on the HP iPAQ, connect a headset into the headset

connector or the setting reverts back to disabled. For example, plug in the optional TTY audio adapter into the ear bud jack first, as described below. Once you enable TTY support, you can remove the headset and TTY remains enabled on the HP iPAQ until you disable it.

Wireless synchronization cost saving tips

How you manage the cost of synchronizing without wires from your HP iPAQ depends on your priorities.

To Do this

Reduce network connection or data transfer costs Increase the time between scheduled synchronizations, or

synchronize manually. Check the details of your rate plan.

Extend battery life Schedule synchronization less frequently or synchronize

manually.

Keep your information up to date During periods of high mail volume, schedule

synchronization at regular but frequent intervals. During periods of low mail volume, schedule synchronization as items arrive.

NOTE: The HP iPAQ power-down timer is reset each time you synchronize. If you schedule a

synchronization interval that is smaller than the time interval set for the HP iPAQ to automatically power down, the HP iPAQ never turns off to save battery power.

11 Messaging

Understand messages

To send and receive e-mail messages for an e-mail account, you need to connect to the Internet or your corporate network, depending on the account.

You can send and receive:

Outlook e-mail

●

Internet e-mail through an Internet Service Provider (ISP)

●

Text/MMS messages

●

You can also access e-mail from work using a VPN connection. For more information, see

VPN server connection on page 86

E-mail in the Outlook e-mail account is sent and received through synchronization with a computer using any synchronizing software or through wireless synchronization directly with an Exchange Server.

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 will need to get Internet connectivity, from the carrier GSM, GPRS, EDGE, or a 3G connectivity. Also connectivity can be using Wi-Fi Wireless, Peer-to-Peer with a PC or Bluetooth to an Internet connected device. You can also use your HP iPAQ to connect by using a data capable cell phone.

Text messages are sent and received through your wireless service provider using a phone number as the message address.

Folder types

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

Inbox

●

Outbox

●

Deleted Items

●

Drafts

●

Set up a

Sent Items

●

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

The way folders work vary by type:

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 select additional folders for synchronization by assigning them designations. The folders you create and the messages you move are then mirrored on the e-mail server.

If you use an MMS account or a text message account, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.

●

Understand messages 57

Page 70

If you use a POP3 account and move your e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link

●

between the messages on the HP iPAQ and their copies on the e-mail server breaks. When you connect, the e-mail server detects that the messages are missing from the Inbox folder on the 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.

If you use an IMAP4 account, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are

●

mirrored on the e-mail server. These messages are therefore available from any location or device. 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.

Synchronize e-mail

When you synchronize Outlook e-mail on the computer with your HP iPAQ, 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 HP iPAQ.

Messages in the Outbox folder on your HP iPAQ are transferred to Exchange Server or Outlook

●

and then sent from those programs.

When you delete a message on your HP iPAQ, it is deleted from your computer or Exchange

●

Server the next time you synchronize.

The default sync settings synchronize messages from the past three days and the first 0.5 KB

●

of each new message is downloaded. It does not download file attachments.

NOTE: For more information on starting Outlook e-mail synchronization or changing

synchronization settings, see the synchronization software's help on the computer.

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

Receive attachments

An attachment sent with an e-mail message or downloaded from the server is displayed below the subject of the message. Tapping the attachment opens the attachment if it has been fully downloaded or marks it for download the next time you send and receive e-mail. You can also download attachments automatically with your messages if you have an Outlook e-mail or IMAP4 e-mail account.

If you have an Outlook e-mail account, do the following on your computer:

1. Click Start > Programs > Microsoft ActiveSync.

2. Click Tools > Options…

3. Click E-mail > Settings, and then select the Include file attachments check box.

Receive meeting requests

If you receive your e-mail messages through ActiveSync, you can receive meeting requests. When connecting directly to an e-mail server, the server must be running Microsoft Exchange Server version 5.5 or later for you to receive meeting requests.

If the server is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 or later, your meeting requests are automatically received in your Inbox. However, to receive meeting requests on Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5, do the following:

(Messaging) key

Ask your system administrator to activate Rich Text Format (RTF) and TNEF support for your

Download messages

The manner in which you download messages depends on the type of account you have:

To send and receive e-mail for an Outlook e-mail account, begin synchronization through

●

ActiveSync.

Text messages are automatically received when your HP iPAQ phone mode is switched on.

●

When your HP iPAQ is switched off (in flight mode), messages are held by your service provider until the next time your HP iPAQ is turned on.

TIP: By default, messages you send are not saved on your HP iPAQ to help conserve memory. If

you want to keep copies of sent messages in the messaging list, tap Menu > Options > Message, and select the Keep copies of sent items in Sent folder check box. If your account is an Outlook e-mail or IMAP4 account, you must also select the Sent Items folder for synchronization. To do this,

press the Folders…, and then select the check box next to the Sent Items folder.

(Messaging) key > Outlook E-mail, and then tap Menu > Tools > Manage

Download messages from a server

To download messages from a server:

1. From any account, tap Menu > Go To and tap the account you want to use.

2. Tap Menu > Send/Receive.

The messages on your HP iPAQ and e-mail server are synchronized. New messages are downloaded to the HP iPAQ's Inbox folder, messages in the HP iPAQ's Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted from the server are removed from the HP iPAQ's Inbox folder.

Use messaging 65

Page 78

TIP: To read the entire message, tap Menu > Download Message while in the message window.

If you are in the message list, tap and hold the message, and then tap Menu > Download Message. The message will download the next time you send and receive e-mail. This will also download message attachments if you have selected those options while setting up your e-mail account.

The size column in the message list displays the local size and server size of a message. These numbers might differ because the size of a message can vary between the server and the HP iPAQ.

Install an online address book

Many e-mail servers, including servers running Exchange Server, can verify names with an online address book called a directory service, using a protocol known as Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). When you create an e-mail account, the directory service of your e-mail server is added to the Address, and you are given the option to enable it. After it is enabled, Messaging checks your contact list and then the directory service to verify names that you enter in the To, Cc, and Bcc fields. To enable a directory service or if you want to use additional services, follow these steps:

1. If you are adding a new account, ask your network administrator for the name of the directory

service and the server.

2. In the message list, tap Menu > Options > Address.

3. In the In Contacts, get e-mail addresses from list, select which e-mail address book to check

in contacts. Contacts will be checked first unless you select None.

4. If your e-mail server is already listed, select the server's directory service check box to enable

it and tap ok.

5. If your e-mail service is not listed, tap Add…

6. In the Directory name and Server boxes, enter the LDAP directory and server names.

7. Ask your network administrator if authentication is necessary for your server. If so, select the

Authentication is necessary on this server check box, and enter your user name and

password.

8. To have messaging check this service, select the Check name against this server check box.

TIP: To delete a service, tap and hold the service, and then tap Delete.

While synchronizing your Outlook e-mail account, disable any directory services you have installed by clearing the Check name against this server check box. This helps avoid getting error messages when Messaging tries to verify names against the service that you are not connected to.

High Speed Download Packet Access (HSDPA), also known as 3.5G, is an enhancement of Wideband Code Division Multiple Access (WCDMA) which is based on 3G technology, and offers better data throughput. Your HP iPAQ supports HSDPA 3.6 to 7.2 Mbps for high speed downloads. HP iPAQ also supports WCDMA over three different frequency bands (850/1900/2100). When WCDMA or HSDPA is available, the HP iPAQ uses the technology and reverts back to GSM/GPRS/ EDGE if WCDMA or HSDPA is unavailable. Your HP iPAQ also supports WCDMA/HSDPA in three different frequency bands (850/1900/2100).

GPRS/EDGE

GPRS/EDGE technology provides a connection to the Mobile Phone Network that can be used for Web browsing, MMS messaging, or accessing your corporate network.

NOTE: EDGE is an enhancement to GPRS technology and enables higher speed data connections

than GPRS. This means faster phone multimedia capabilities such as sending and receiving SMS/ MMS messages, and sharing video clips. Check with your service provider to see if they support EDGE technology. If your service provider does not support the EDGE network, the HP iPAQ defaults to GPRS.

Differences between GSM and GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA/HSDPA technology

GSM technology is typically used for voice calls and text messaging, whereas GPRS/EDGE/ WCDMA/HSDPA technology provides a data connection to the Mobile Phone Network that can be used for Web browsing, Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS), or accessing your corporate network.

NOTE: Using GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA/HSDPA data services are typically an additional charge to

your standard mobile phone service. Check with your mobile phone service provider for data services and cost.
