Adding TTY Functionality

Adding TTY Functionality for People Who Are Deaf or Hard-of-Hearing

HP iPAQ products support Tele-typewriter (TTY) functionality, which allows people who are deaf 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 may 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 earbud jack (also called the earbud connector). This TTY audio adapter converts the pin-out of the earbud jack, which is designed for a wired earbud and stereo headphones, to the pin-out required by most TTY devices. To purchase the TTY audio adapter (part number: FA709B#AC3), visit

Handheld Devices > Options and Accessories.

NOTE Because 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.

www.hp.com>

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

accessibility.

Verifying Compatibility

All HP iPAQ Global Positioning System (GPS) enabled devices come with HP iPAQ compatible GPS navigation software solutions. Depending on the region of the world where you purchase your device, solutions are either pre-installed on the device, downloaded from the Internet, or installed using CDs.

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 application 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.

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

with your specific HP iPAQ model, or to an iPAQ File Store folder (if your model provides one). 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. Since your HP iPAQ model uses Windows Mobile 5.0, you can store maps in main memory that is not erased if the battery loses power.

Memory cards can be purchased at

74 Chapter 5 Security ENWW

Encrypting/Decrypting Data

If your HP iPAQ has been off for longer than the time you selected during setup, your data is encrypted. When you turn the device on, you are prompted to authenticate using your PIN and/or password. After successful authentication, your data is decrypted. This may take a few moments depending on the amount of data you chose to have encrypted. However, encryption runs in the background, and you can perform other tasks on your HP iPAQ during this time.

You can monitor the decryption process in two ways:

If you selected Display encryption status on the Encryption Settings screen during setup, the HP

●

ProtectTools window displays the decryption status.

If you choose not to display this status, the encryption/decryption process proceeds in the

●

background, allowing you to use your HP iPAQ for other purposes.

In either case, a Blue Lock icon appears in the Taskbar at the bottom of the Today screen during decryption. When the icon disappears, decryption is complete. Typically the HP iPAQ responds more slowly during the encryption/decryption process.

Authenticate and wait for the decryption process to complete before synchronizing using Microsoft ActiveSync. If decryption is not complete before synchronization begins, ActiveSync may not be initiated. To correct the problem, disconnect and reconnect the device after decryption is complete.

If you enable Server Synchronization on ActiveSync, it is recommended that you do not select a Mobile Schedule to automatically initiate synchronization. Since authentication and decryption are necessary when the HP iPAQ is turned on, automatic synchronization does not work properly when HP ProtectTools is enabled. The same problem may also arise when using other server-based synchronization products.
