Troubleshooting Help for Synchronization Issues
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.
24
Page 35
Try the following solutions to troubleshoot any synchronization issues:
• 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://
• The latest version of ActiveSync at: http://www.microsoft.com/
windowsmobile/downloads/pocketpc.mspx.
• If you are using Windows Mobile 2003 or 2002-based devices,
continue using Microsoft ActiveSync 3.8.
• If you are running ActiveSync 4.1 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 4.1 or later to the program’s exception list. To further
troubleshoot a firewall application and enable ActiveSync 4.1 or later, visit:
• 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.
• On your personal computer, click Start > All Programs >
Microsoft ActiveSync.
•Click Tools > Options > Sync Options tab.
• Uncheck the boxes for the sync items listed under the Server group.
• Place a checkmark in the boxes under the Desktop group for those items
you want to synchronize.
• Disconnect your HP iPAQ from your personal computer and wait for the
ActiveSync message confirming that your device is no longer connected.
Reconnect your HP iPAQ to your personal computer. Wait for about two
minutes to see if your HP iPAQ connects to your personal computer.
• On your personal computer, in ActiveSync, select File > Connection
Settings. Confirm that USB is selected as a potential connection method.
• Connect your HP iPAQ to a different USB port on your personal computer.
25
Page 36
• Check your USB synchronization cradle or cable.
• Consider using another synchronization cradle or cable if one is
available to you.
• Try synchronizing via an infrared or a Bluetooth connection. Refer to the
printed or CD-based documentation that came with your HP iPAQ for
specific instructions.
• Restart your personal computer and perform a soft reset on your HP iPAQ.
(A soft reset does not erase any of your settings, programs or data.) Use the
stylus to lightly press the Reset button. Your HP iPAQ restarts and displays
the Today screen. Once your personal computer and HP iPAQ restart,
reconnect your HP iPAQ to your personal computer.
• Uninstall ActiveSync from your personal computer and then reinstall it. To
uninstall ActiveSync from your personal computer, click Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Microsoft ActiveSync. Then
click the Remove button > Yes.
• 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.

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 andmust 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 bui lt -in so th ere i s no user setup or action required. However, your ser vice
plan must support international roaming. To verify that your service plan supports
international roaming, contact your mobile phone service provider.
