Battery-saving tips

Adjust the settings on your HP iPAQ to suit your needs and also help the device retain and increase the
battery's charge-retention capacity. Here are some recommendations to conserve battery life:

Connect to AC power – Leave your HP iPAQ connected to AC power at all possible times when

●

not using it. HP also offers a variety of accessories to keep your HP iPAQ charged when you are
out of the office for extended time periods. These include the Micro-USB synchronization cable
and travel adapter.

Important: Always use original HP batteries and chargers to charge your HP iPAQ. Using other
batteries or chargers can cause loss of device functionality and possible safety hazards.

Turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi – Always turn off Bluetooth and Wi-Fi when not in use. To turn off

●

Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, tap Start > Settings > Connections > Wireless Manager, and then tap the
respective option to turn it off.

Adjust e-mail synchronization frequency – Every time your HP iPAQ sends and receives e-mail,

●

your HP iPAQ uses the battery. You should increase the duration between synchronization cycles
to reduce the number of times your HP iPAQ synchronizes with the e-mail server. To change the
duration, see

Adjust ActiveSync settings – ActiveSync can be configured to synchronize e-mail at regular

●

intervals or using as items arrives using the push e-mail protocol. When using push e-mail, the
device synchronizes with the Exchange e-mail server automatically, even when in standby. This
can result in unexpected battery drain if the user is not aware that this service is running.
Alternatively, ActiveSync can be configured to synchronize at regular intervals. However, this
configuration can result in unnecessary power consumption if the device synchronizes when no
new e-mail is available.

The best configuration depends on how the device is being used. When e-mail volume is light, it
is best to have the device configured to synchronize e-mail as items arrive. However, when e-mail
volume is high, performance might improve when the device is set to synchronize at regular
intervals. To adjust the settings, tap Start > Programs > ActiveSync > Menu > Schedule.

Disable Sounds – Every time you are notified of an event or alert, battery power is consumed.

●

Tap Start > Settings > Personal > Sounds & Notifications to disable any unnecessary
notification sounds.

Change the e-mail download options on page 46.

Dim the Backlight – Tap Start > Settings > System > Backlight. On the Brightness tab, adjust

●

the brightness settings to an acceptable level.

Battery-saving tips 27

8 Messaging

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

You can send and receive messages in a variety of formats:

®

Microsoft

●

Internet e-mail

●

Text/MMS messages

●

You can also access e-mail from your workplace through a VPN connection. For more information, see

Set up a VPN server connection on page 76.

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. For
more information, see

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. You require Internet access from a GSM, GPRS,
EDGE, or 3G carrier to connect to a POP3 or IMAP4 Server. You can connect to the Internet using
Wi-Fi, a computer, or a Bluetooth device. To connect to the Internet through your HP iPAQ, use a
data-enabled cell phone.

Office Outlook® Mobile e-mail

Synchronization on page 77.

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

Identify the folder types

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

Inbox

●

Outbox

●

Deleted Items

●

Drafts

●

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 varies by type:

If you use an Outlook e-mail account, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are

●

synchronized with your HP iPAQ automatically. 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.

●

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

●

between the messages on the HP iPAQ and their copies on the e-mail server. When you connect,

42 Chapter 8 Messaging

the e-mail server detects that the messages are missing from the HP iPAQ Inbox folder and deletes
them from the e-mail server. This prevents having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means
that you do not 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. That is, they exist in both places. These messages are therefore
available from any location or device. This synchronization occurs whenever you connect to your
e-mail server, and when you create new folders, or rename or delete folders when connected. You
can also set different download options for each folder.

You can press and hold a shortcut key on the keyboard, from any folder, to perform certain tasks more
quickly.

Synchronize e-mail

When you synchronize the Outlook e-mail on the computer with your HP iPAQ, this is what happens
with e-mail messages:

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 synchronization settings synchronize messages from the past three days and download

●

the first 0.5 KB of each new message. 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 through synchronization. Instead, your service provider sends them to
your HP iPAQ.

You can modify the sync settings to set the message size to download and also download attachments.

For more information on synchronization software, see

Synchronization on page 77.

Download messages

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

To send and receive e-mail for an Outlook e-mail account, you need to synchronize your e-mail

●

account using ActiveSync.

You can receive text messages when your HP iPAQ is switched to phone mode. When your

●

HP iPAQ is turned off (in flight mode), your service provider holds messages until the next time
you turn on your HP iPAQ.

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

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.

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

message list, tap and hold the message, and then tap Download Message. The message is
downloaded the next time you send and receive e-mail. Message attachments are also downloaded if
you have set 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. When you create an e-mail account, the directory service of
your e-mail server is added to the address book. To enable a directory service or 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 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.

9. Tap OK.

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.

HSPA/GPRS/EDGE

Your HP iPAQ is a 3.5G device that supports high and better data throughput. It supports HSPA known
as 3.5G to transmit voice and data at the same time, WCDMA known as 3G to transmit voice and data
at the same time, EDGE known as 2.75G to transmit data, GPRS known as 2.5G to transmit data, and
GSM known as 2G to transmit voice.

HSPA

High Speed Packet Access (HSPA), 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 HSPA 3.6 to 7.2 Mbps for high speed downloads and 2 Mbps for high speed uploads.
HP iPAQ also supports WCDMA over three different frequency bands (900/1900/2100). When WCDMA

Use Wireless Manager 65

or HSPA is available, the HP iPAQ uses the technology and reverts back to GSM/GPRS/EDGE if
WCDMA or HSPA is unavailable. Your HP iPAQ also supports WCDMA/HSPA in three different
frequency bands (900/1900/2100).

GPRS/EDGE

The GPRS/EDGE technology enables the mobile phone network to be used for messaging or to access
the corporate network or the World Wide Web.

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/HSPA technology

GSM technology is typically used for voice calls and text messaging, whereas GPRS/EDGE/WCDMA/
HSPA 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: If data services are used, they are charged additionally to your standard mobile phone service.

Check with your service provider for data services and cost.

If you have trouble with your connection, contact your service provider.

Bluetooth

NOTE: 1 – A standard GSM/GPRS/EDGE/UMTS/HSPA infrastructure, Wi-Fi or other Bluetooth-

enabled devices, separately purchased equipment, and a service contract with a wireless airtime
provider may be required for applicable wireless communication. Wireless Internet access requires
separately purchased Internet service contract. Check with service provider for availability and coverage
in your area. Not all Web content might be available. Wireless transmission speeds may vary based
upon network capabilities and other conditions. Establishment and continuation of a wireless connection
depends on network availability, provider support, and signal strength.

2 – EDGE is a global standard for wireless wide-area data communication being rapidly deployed by
GSM carriers worldwide. Actual download speeds may vary. Coverage is subject to transmission
limitations and terrain, system, capacity, and other limitations. Not all features and service options are
available in all areas.

3 – Telephone service requires separately purchased contract with a service provider with coverage in
your service area. Additional fees may apply for some features, check with your service provider.

Verify the date and time

Verify the correct date and time on your HP iPAQ. If the date and time are not correct, tap the Clock
icon on the Today screen to set the date and time.

Download the GPS Connection Utility data file

Use the GPS navigation software available on your HP iPAQ to track your initial position, retrieve
information from GPS satellites, and to navigate. The GPS software might take some time to get a fix
on your initial position. Use GPS Connection Utility to reduce the time to first fix (TTFF). GPS Connection
Utility downloads information from the Internet and stores this information on your HP iPAQ. The GPS
navigation software can use this information to quickly track your initial position.

NOTE: The GPS Connection Utility downloads new data if the last downloaded data is expired. The

expiration time on the data is set to 24 hours.

Be aware that enabling GPS Connection Utility might involve additional data connection charges.

To enable GPS Connection Utility:

1. Tap Start > Settings > Connections > GPS Connection Utility.

2. Select the Automatic Update check box.

3. Tap Done.

After the GPS Connection Utility data file has been downloaded, you might see improvements in the
GPS performance as the time-to-first-fix (TTFF) reduces.

2. Clear the Automatic Update check box.

3. Tap Done.

Verify compatibility with your HP iPAQ

If you are interested in purchasing additional GPS navigation software to use on your HP iPAQ, check
with the GPS software supplier before you purchase, download, or install any GPS navigation software
to determine that the software is compatible with your specific HP iPAQ model.

Once you have verified compatibility, purchase and install a map onto the HP iPAQ or memory card to
be able to start using the GPS navigation technology.

84 Chapter 15 Applications

NOTE: It is recommended that you download all GPS maps to a memory card that is compatible with

your HP iPAQ model. This prevents you from losing your map data due to a possible power loss or a
need to perform a clean reset on the HP iPAQ.

Configure and manage my GPS software to connect to my HP iPAQ's GPS receiver automatically

Your GPS enabled HP iPAQ uses Microsoft Windows Mobile 6.1, so the operating system automatically
manages access to the HP iPAQ GPS receiver to allow multiple programs to simultaneously access
GPS data.

All GPS software programs need to know which communications port to use to access GPS data. Your
HP iPAQ already has the GPS port specified by default for the GPS software programs that come with
the device. However, sometimes if you install additional GPS programs onto your HP iPAQ GPS enabled
device, you may need to manually specify the GPS port in your GPS program's configuration settings.
For manual settings, refer to the documentation that came with your additional GPS software program.

Identify the COM port for my GPS receiver

The GPS receiver on your GPS enabled HP iPAQ is set to default configurations. To verify, tap

Start > Settings > System> External GPS.

Improve a slow GPS connection

To improve GPS connection performance on HP iPAQ GPS enabled device, you need to download the
latest GPS Connection Utility data file.

Even though GPS on your HP iPAQ is able to connect to the GPS satellites without enabling the GPS
Connection Utility, it may take a few minutes longer and even up to five minutes to locate the satellites
if you do not use this utility.

Since the GPS satellite data update files are small, you should be able to download them with a little or
no impact to device performance. However, you need to buy a wireless data plan (GPRS, EDGE, UMTS,
HSPA, or Wi-Fi) from your service provider before you can use this feature and GPRS connection
charges may apply. Check with your service provider to see if additional charges apply.

Troubleshoot frequent GPS signal loss

To improve the satellite signal to the GPS enabled HP iPAQ, go outdoors and start the GPS navigation
software. Place the HP iPAQ where there is a clear view of the sky or on the dashboard of a vehicle
that does not have thermal glass windshields or windows. A direct line of sight is required between the
HP iPAQ and the GPS satellites to access information from the satellites.

NOTE: Interference might take place close to tall buildings, large trees, and under very cloudy or

overcast skies, all of which can block the satellite signal from reaching the HP iPAQ. Try to avoid these
obstructions before using GPS.
