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:

■ Install a new applications

■ Restart the Pocket PC if it stops responding

To perform a soft reset:

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.

If the Pocket PC does not power on after a reset, do the following:

User’s Guide 1–8

Getting to Know Your iPAQ Pocket PC

Check the battery door to ensure it is locked. If not, slide the battery lock switch to the left (or locked position) on the bottom of the Pocket PC. This action locks the battery door.

To return your iPAQ Pocket PC to factory settings after performing a hard reset:

1. Tap Start > Programs > File Explorer > My Device.

2. Tap the iPAQ File Store folder to open it.

3. Tap Edit > Select All.

4. Tap and hold the selected files, then tap Delete.

5. Tap Ye s to delete all files in iPAQ File Store.

Understanding the Touchpad and Cursor
