Setting Up Your HP iPAQ

Use the following steps to quickly set up your HP iPAQ and connect it to your personal computer. The illustrations in the previous sections display the specific location of the HP iPAQ components.

Step 1: Remove the Battery Cover and Slide In the SIM

1. On the back of the HP iPAQ, press the battery cover latch.

2. With your thumb, slide the battery cover down and away from the device.

NOTE If the battery is already installed, remove it before inserting the SIM

card. The SIM card is provided by the mobile phone service provider. The SIM card may already be preinstalled in your HP iPAQ.

3. Align the notched corner on the card with the notched corner in the SIM

slot.

4. With the metal contacts facing down, slide the SIM card horizontally into

the SIM slot. Push it in until it stops.

Step 2: Install the Battery and Replace the Battery Cover

1. Align the battery connectors on the battery with the housing pins in the

battery compartment and insert the battery.

NOTE Be sure the pull tab is exposed so the battery can be easily removed.

2. Slide the battery cover on until it clicks into place.

Step 3: Charge the battery

CAUTION To avoid damaging your HP iPAQ or the AC adapter, be sure all connectors are properly aligned before connecting.

The battery provides power for your HP iPAQ to operate. Your HP iPAQ came with either a USB synchronization cable or a USB synchronization cradle/charger, which you must use to charge the device.

It takes about four hours to fully charge the battery. If you have a USB synchronization cable:

399310-xx1.book Page 11 Friday, December 16, 2005 3:52 PM

1. Insert one end of the AC adapter into the port on the bottom of the USB

synchronization cable connector.

2. Connect the other end of the AC adapter to an electrical outlet.

3. Connect the USB synchronization cable to the charging/communications

port on your HP iPAQ. The cable connector only fits one way, so do not force it. If the connector does not insert easily, turn it over.

If you have a USB synchronization cradle/charger:

1. Connect one end of the AC adapter to the cradle.

2. Connect the other end of the AC adapter to an electrical outlet.

3. With the front of the HP iPAQ facing the same direction as the front of the

cradle, align the charging/communications port on the HP iPAQ with the connector in the cradle and slide the bottom of the HP iPAQ into the cradle.

IMPORTANT Whenever a replacement battery is inserted into your HP iPAQ, press and hold the Power button for at least two seconds or attach an AC adapter to turn on your device.

Step 4: Insert the Getting Started CD into your computer

Use the synchronize the HP iPAQ with your personal computer.

Connect your HP iPAQ when instructed.

If you have a USB synchronization cable:

1. Connect the USB connector on the synchronization cable to a USB port on

your personal computer.

2. Connect the USB synchronization cable to the charging/communications

port on the bottom of your HP iPAQ. The connector only fits one way so do not force it. If the connector does not insert easily, turn it over.

If you have a USB synchronization cradle/charger:

1. Connect the USB connector on the cradle to a USB port on your personal

computer.

2. With the front of the HP iPAQ facing the same direction as the front of the

cradle, align the charging/communications port on the HP iPAQ with the connector in the cradle and slide the bottom of the HP iPAQ into the cradle.

When instructed, check the items you want to synchronize between your HP iPAQ and your personal computer. Do one or both of the following:

• Select the check box for any items you want to synchronize. If you cannot select a check box, you may have to clear the check box for the same information type elsewhere in the list.

• Clear the check box for any items you want to stop synchronizing.

To change available synchronization settings, select the type of information and tap

Settings.

IMPORTANT Does your company use a Microsoft Exchange server? If not, during setup, uncheck the box marked Synchronize directly with a

server running Microsoft Exchange Server. To do this now, you will need to have the server address and your logon credentials

in order to sync to your personal computer.

After completing the ActiveSync installation, return to the more software programs and additional product and setup information.
