Getting to Know Your iPAQ

Congratulations on purchasing an HP iPAQ hx4700 series Pocket PC. Use this guide to help you set up your Pocket PC and to learn how it works.

Using the Stylus

Your iPAQ Pocket PC comes with a stylus that you should use to tap or write on your screen.

You can perform three basic actions using the stylus:

Tap —Lightly touch the screen to select or open an item. Lift the stylus after you tap an item. Tapping is equivalent to clicking an item with the mouse on your computer.

Drag—Place the point of the stylus on the screen and drag an item across the screen without lifting the stylus until you have completed the selection. Dragging is equivalent to dragging with the left mouse button pressed on your computer.

Tap and hold—Hold the stylus pointer on an item for a short time until a menu displays. Tapping and holding is equivalent to right-clicking your computer mouse button. When you tap and hold, a circle of red dots displays around the stylus to indicate that the menu will soon pop up.

Resetting the Unit

Sometimes there is a need to reset your Pocket PC. Resetting the Pocket PC is known as performing a “soft” or “hard” reset.

Getting to Know Your iPAQ Pocket PC

Performing a Soft (“Normal”) Reset

A soft reset stops all running applications, but does not erase any programs or saved data. Be sure to save any unsaved data within a running application before performing a soft reset.

User’s Guide 1–6

Getting to Know Your iPAQ Pocket PC

Perform a soft reset to:

1. Locate the recessed Reset button on the bottom of your iPAQ Pocket PC.

2. Use the stylus to lightly press the Reset button.

The Pocket PC restarts and displays the Today screen.

Performing a Hard (“Full”) Reset

Perform a hard reset only when you want to clear all user-installed settings, applications, and data from RAM (Random Access Memory), where data and applications you have loaded are stored.

CAUTION: If you perform a hard reset, your Pocket PC loses all data

and programs not saved in iPAQ File Store.

User’s Guide 1–7

Getting to Know Your iPAQ Pocket PC

To perform a hard reset:

1. Press and hold down the Calendar and iTask buttons 1.

2. While holding down these buttons, use the stylus to lightly press the Reset button on the bottom of the iPAQ Pocket PC 2 for about two seconds.

3. When the Pocket PC screen begins to fade, release the Calendar and iTask buttons first, and then remove the stylus from the Reset button.

Note: If you simultaneously push and hold the Reset, Calendar,

and iTask buttons for more than two seconds, the battery disconnects. To restart the unit, either plug the unit into the AC Adapter or press the Reset button again.

After performing a hard reset, you may need to reinstall applications stored in iPAQ File Store to restore shortcuts and full functionality.

The Pocket PC resets and powers on.

User’s Guide 1–8

Getting to Know Your iPAQ Pocket PC

Unlocking Your Pocket PC

The authentication method for unlocking your Pocket PC is as follows:

■ Enter your PIN or password when prompted. If you

successfully enter your PIN or password, the device unlocks.

■ After the number of attempts you selected during setup, if

you still do not enter your PIN or password correctly, you are prompted to answer the hint question you defined. If you successfully answer your hint question, the device unlocks.

Note: After you successfully authenticate, you are prompted to

reset any authentication information you didn't enter correctly. For example, if you forgot your PIN, but successfully enter your hint question/answer, you are prompted to enter a new PIN.

■ If you do not answer your hint question successfully, you will

have an increasing time delay between hint question/answer attempts until you enter the correct answer. If you have completely forgotten the answer to your hint question and will not remember it with further attempts, then you must tap the Reset Now button.

User’s Guide 7–5

CAUTION: If you tap the Reset Now button, you will lose all data on

the device, including the iPAQ File Store. If you choose this option, be aware that resetting iPAQ File Store could take more than 10 minutes after the iPAQ initialization process has been completed. It is recommended that you connect your device to AC power during this period to avoid timeouts.

If you perform a hard reset instead of tapping the Reset Now button, your iPAQ Pocket PC returns to its default settings and loses all information (files, settings, etc.) except data stored in iPAQ File Store. In this case, you must still answer your hint question to regain access to your Pocket PC. For more information on performing a hard reset, refer to Chapter 1, “Getting to Know Your iPAQ Pocket PC.”

Encrypting/Decrypting Data

If your iPAQ Pocket PC has been off for longer than the time you selected during setup, your data is encrypted. When you turn the device on, you will be prompted to authenticate using your PIN or password. After successful authentication, your data will be decrypted. This may take a few moments depending on the amount of data you chose to have encrypted.

Using HP ProtectTools

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 will proceed in the background allowing you to use your Pocket PC for other purposes.

User’s Guide 7–6

Using HP ProtectTools

■ In either case, a blue lock icon will appear in the Taskbar at

the bottom of the Today screen during decryption. When the icon disappears, decryption is complete. Typically you will notice that the Pocket PC responds more slowly during the encryption/decryption process.

You must authenticate yourself 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 Pocket PC is turned on, automatic synchronization will not work properly when HP ProtectTools is enabled. The same problem may also arise when using other server-based synchronization products.

Using Wi-Fi

Getting Acquainted with Wi-Fi

With wireless access, you do not need to use cables to connect your HP iPAQ to the Internet. Instead, access points transmit data to and from your wireless device. Your HP iPAQ can connect to an 802.11b WLAN or connect directly to other WLAN-enabled devices. With Wi-Fi, you can:

■ Access the Internet

■ Send and receive e-mail

■ Access corporate network information

■ Use virtual private networks (VPNs) for secure remote access

■ Use hotspots for wireless connectivity

Note: Use of dial-up and wireless Internet, e-mail, corporate

networks, and other wireless communications, such as Bluetooth-enabled devices, may require separately purchased additional hardware and other compatible equipment, in addition to a standard Wi-Fi infrastructure and a separately purchased service contract. Check with your service provider for availability and coverage in your area. Not all web content may be available. Some web content may require installation of additional software.
