Troubleshooting Tips for ActiveSync
Following is a list of symptoms that may indicate synchronization issues are
occurring:
• No ActiveSync chimes sound (or a gray icon displays), and there is no
activity in the ActiveSync window on your personal computer.
• ActiveSync chimes sound, and the ActiveSync icon on your personal
computer changes to a swirling green icon. The “retrieving settings”
message appears on your personal computer, but the ActiveSync connection
drops prior to establishing the partnership.
• ActiveSync is searching for a connection but none occurs. (The green icon
on your personal computer continues to spin.)
• Synchronization has been established between your HP iPAQ and personal
computer but connection is dropped. (The green icon on your personal
computer stops spinning and grays out.)
• Firewall or other network protection software message box is displayed for
ActiveSync to access the network or Internet.
Following is a list of troubleshooting tips if you experience difficulty while
synchronizing your HP iPAQ and personal computer. Try the following solutions to
troubleshoot ActiveSync:
• Confirm that you are running ActiveSync on your personal computer with a
supported operating system (OS).
• To get more information about the supported OS versions, visit: http://
• If you are using Windows Mobile 2003 or 2002-based devices,
continue using Microsoft ActiveSync 3.8.
• During the ActiveSync installation, if you inadvertently left the Microsoft
Exchange Server option box checked and are not planning to connect to an
Exchange server, follow these steps:
• Connect your HP iPAQ to your personal computer. Be sure an
ActiveSync connection is established.

click the Remove button > Yes.
• If you are running ActiveSync 4.0 or later and personal firewall software on
your personal computer, please add ActiveSync to the firewall program’s
exception list.
(Firewall software, such as Sygate Personal Firewall, TrendMicro PC-cillin
Internet Security 2005, Norton Personal Firewall, McAfee Personal Firewall,
or Zone Alarm Security Suite may block synchronization.) Refer to the
documentation that came with your firewall program to determine how to
add ActiveSync 4.0 or later to the program’s exception list. To further
troubleshoot a firewall application and enable ActiveSync 4.0 or later, visit:
399310-xx1.book Page 24 Friday, December 16, 2005 3:52 PM
• After trying the above solutions without any success in solving your
connection problem, perform a hard or clean reset on your HP iPAQ. (A
hard or clean reset clears all user-installed settings, programs, and data and
restores your HP iPAQ to factory settings. For more details, refer to the
printed or CD-based documentation that came with your device.)
You can reinstall your applications on your HP iPAQ once the hard or clean
reset is complete by using ActiveSync on your personal computer. Once
your HP iPAQ is synchronized properly, go to ActiveSync on your personal
computer and select Tools>Add/Remove Programs…and select any
programs you want to reinstall.

Synchronizing with a Server via GSM/GPRS/EDGE
The HP iPAQ offers you a comprehensive set of wireless capabilities to keep you
connected in or out of the office. With Global System for Mobile Communications/
General Packet Radio Service/Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution (GSM/
GPRS/EDGE), and Bluetooth integrated into a single HP iPAQ, you have broad
coverage offering high-speed access to the Internet, and to business and personal
information.
You can obtain a wireless GSM/GPRS/EDGE connection to make a phone call or
send or receive e-mail, text message, or Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)
messages.
You must have an account with a mobile telephone service provider that supports
GSM/GPRS/EDGE data services and an activated SIM card. The service provider
must enable the GPRS data features on your account to activate it and must have
EDGE technology on the network for this capability to be used on the HP iPAQ. If
EDGE is not enabled, the
HP iPAQ defaults to GPRS.
Your HP iPAQ phone has an automatic band-switching function that allows you to
use your phone outside of your home country if a GSM network is present. This
feature is built-in so there is no user setup or action required. However, your service
plan must support international roaming. To verify that your service plan supports
international roaming, contact your mobile phone service provider.
To learn more about GSM/GPRS/EDGE and how to manually configure your
connection, refer to
