when you take your HP iPAQ on the go. There are several ways to
synchronize your HP iPAQ with your personal computer:
•Mini-USB synchronization cable
•Bluetooth
•Infrared

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. 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:
www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile.
•The latest version of ActiveSync is at: www.microsoft.com/
windowsmobile/downloads.
•If you are using Windows Mobile 2003 or 2002-based devices,
continue using Microsoft ActiveSync 3.8.
•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 PCcillin 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

the program’s exception list. To further troubleshoot a firewall
application and enable ActiveSync 4.0 or later, visit:
www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync.
•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

•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.
•Check your mini-USB synchronization cable. Consider using another
mini-USB synchronization 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
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.)
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

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 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 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.
