Step 2: 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 comes with a mini-USB synchronization cable, which you must use to charge the device.
It takes approximately 2 to 4 hours to fully charge the battery the first time. Subsequent charges may take longer.
1.Insert the USB end of the mini-USB cable into the port on the AC adapter.
2.Install the appropriate head onto the AC adapter.
3.Connect the AC adapter to an electrical outlet.
4.Connect the mini-USB 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.
NOTE 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.

●Change synchronization settings and the synchronization schedule.
●Copy files between your device and computer.
●Install applications on your HP iPAQ.
●Synchronize links.
●Send and receive e-mail.
●Request meetings.
Synchronizing your HP iPAQ with your personal computer allows you to keep the same information (such as calendar, contacts, and e-mails) on both units, making it available when you work on your personal computer or when you take your HP iPAQ on the go. Synchronize your HP iPAQ with your personal computer using one of the following methods:
●Mini-USB synchronization cable
●Bluetooth
To synchronize your HP iPAQ and your personal computer using the miniUSB synchronization cable:

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.
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.
●author note : Can we delete this bullet...our device is not WM2003 or WM2002 based device, so why do we need to mention it?
14 HP iPAQ Product Information Guide |
ENWW |
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 firewall program to determine how to add ActiveSync 4.0 or later to 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 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.
ENWW |
Getting Started 15 |
●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 a Bluetooth connection. Refer to the printed or CDbased 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 QuickStart Tour. 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 and click Yes.
●After trying the above solutions without any success in solving your connection problem, perform a factory reset on your HP iPAQ. (A factory 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 factory 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.

Transcriber works transparently in the background of programs, recognizing words with its integrated dictionary. When Transcriber is turned on, it interprets stylus movement anywhere on the screen as handwriting input.
To write with Transcriber:
1.From any program, position the cursor where you want the text to appear.
2.Use the stylus to write anywhere on the screen.
The handwriting is converted to text shortly after you lift the stylus from the screen.
You might need to perform a soft reset if your HP iPAQ stops responding. The two types of resets are soft and factory.
A soft reset stops all running applications, but does not erase any programs or saved data.
NOTE Be sure to close all running applications before performing a soft reset.
To perform a soft reset:
1.Locate the recessed Reset button on your HP iPAQ.
2.Use the stylus to lightly press the Reset button.
The HP iPAQ restarts and displays the Quick Launch screen.
A factory reset clears all user-installed settings, programs, and data, and restores your HP iPAQ to factory settings.
