Illustration of a HP phone with a black downward arrow pointing to the right side (no text or symbols on the device body)

NOTE: Use the stylus to tap and write on the screen, and use your fingers to press the Power button, application buttons on the bottom of the device, and the camera's on-screen shutter button.

CAUTION: To prevent damage to your HP iPAQ screen, never use any device other than the stylus that comes with the HP iPAQ or an approved replacement to tap or write on the screen. If you lose or break your stylus, you can order extras at www.hp.com/go/ipaqaccessories.

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 blue dots appears around the stylus to indicate that the menu will soon pop up.

Using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync

If your company is using Microsoft Exchange Server 2003, you can synchronize Calendar, Contacts, and E-mail with your HP iPAQ wirelessly without connecting to a desktop cradle. Exchange ActiveSync in Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 allows the HP iPAQ to access corporate information on a server running Exchange server software. It allows ActiveSync-enabled HP iPAQs to synchronize mailbox items over the air (GPRS or wireless connection) without using a desktop computer, cradle, and desktop synchronization software.

You can also synchronize your mobile device with the Exchange server using the desktop pass-through option present in all Windows Mobile-based devices. Desktop pass-through allows your cradled HP iPAQ to use the desktop computer's Internet connection to connect directly to Exchange ActiveSync. You can then perform tasks such as browsing the Internet or downloading IMAP/POP3 e-mail messages.

After Exchange ActiveSync creates a connection and a partnership between the HP iPAQ and the desktop computer, desktop pass-through is enabled by default, even if the desktop is locked or protected with a password or PIN.

Exchange ActiveSync enables you to synchronize the following items in your Exchange Server 2003 mailbox over the air:

• Calendar
• Contacts list
• E-mail messages

You can receive update notifications by means of the Always-up-to-date (AUTD) feature in Exchange Server 2003. Up-to-date notifications generated by Exchange Server 2003 initiate Exchange ActiveSync synchronization between your HP iPAQ and your Exchange mailbox.

NOTE: To set up Exchange ActiveSync, you will first need to contact your corporate IT team for the name of the corporate server with Exchange Server 2003 installed.

To set up Exchange ActiveSync synchronization after you have the server information:

1. On your personal computer, click the Microsoft ActiveSync application in your system tray.
2. Click Options > Sync Options tab.
3. Under Server, click in the Enable Synchronization with a Server box to enable it, then click Configure.

5 Using the Phone Features

Use the HP iPAQ Mobile Messenger phone to make and receive telephone calls and send and receive Text and MMS (Multimedia Message Service) messages. Your mobile phone service provider may provide other useful services such as voicemail.

The phone can also be used to connect to an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or work network so you can browse the Web and read e-mail. You can connect to the Internet or work network over GPRS/EDGE (General Packet Radio Service/Enhanced Data Rates for Global Evolution), or you can use GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) for dial-up access.

For information on establishing GSM/GPRS/EDGE data connections, refer to Chapter 7, "Making Data Connections."

NOTE: EDGE is an enhancement to GPRS technology and enables higher speed data connections than GPRS. This means faster phone multimedia capabilities such as sending and receiving SMS/MMS messages, and sharing video clips. Check with your service provider to see if they support EDGE technology. If your service provider does not support the EDGE network, the HP iPAQ defaults to GPRS.

SIM Card

A Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card is required to operate the phone features on your HP iPAQ. The SIM card is a plastic card embedded with a computer chip that stores and transacts data. After the SIM card is activated by your mobile phone service provider, the computer chip will contain information about your phone number, service, registration information, and contacts, as well as memory to store speed dial numbers and text or SMS/MMS messages that you receive.

With the exception of emergency calls, the SIM card must be inserted into the SIM slot under the battery on the back of the HP iPAQ for voice/data calls to work.

  • CSD—Circuit Switched Data
  • GPRS—General Packet Radio Service
  • International Dialing

- International Roamin

- Internet access

- Text Message/MMS—Text Message Service/Multimedia Message Service

• Vo ic e m a i l

• VPN—Virtual Private network

You can obtain additional information on these services from your mobile phone service provider.

Your PIN

After your SIM card is activated, it may be configured with a PIN (Personal Identification Number) to prevent unauthorized use of your mobile phone.

NOTE: Emergency phone calls do not require entering a PIN.

You can disable your PIN; however, for security reasons, it is recommended that you keep it enabled. While enabled, you must enter your PIN every time you turn on your phone features.

Configuring Your HP iPAQ for Your SIM Card

When the SIM card connects to your service provider's network, it may be updated by your service provider to include new network parameters for faster connection. The GSM/GPRS Settings Manager automatically updates your HP iPAQ files with the new network parameters on your SIM card.

At times, you may need to manually edit the network settings or create your own personal network settings. To do that, you will need to modify the GSM/GPRS Settings.

The GSM/GPRS Settings Manager has the following features:

• Automatically detects the carrier and sets up the GPRS, MMS, and WAP connection information.
- Automatically detects the carrier and updates network settings on all hard and soft resets.
- Provides the User with the ability to edit network settings including GPRS, CSD, SMS, MMS, and WAP information.
- Provides the User with the ability to create their own network settings and save them under a user defined name in the iPAQ File Store folder.

Modifying the GSM/GPRS Network Settings

The first time you use your SIM Card, the GSM/GPRS Manager automatically detects the phone network and operator and sets up the GPRS connection information for you. You can modify these settings to your own preference or create your own network settings.

• Ensure that the contacts on your SIM card and your SIM slot are not covered with a residue or dust that would inhibit a connection.

TTY Functionality for the Hearing-Impaired

This HP iPAQ supports TTY (Tele-typewriter) functionality. This functionality allows hearing-impaired persons to communicate using existing telephony infrastructure, including cellular phones. To achieve this, separately purchased TTY devices must be connected to the telephones on both ends of a telephone call session, and the TTY software application must be downloaded from the Companion CD onto the HP iPAQ. The sending TTY

device generates a distinct audio tone for every supported character, and these tones are decoded and converted back into text on the receiving TTY device.

Due to the use of audio compression codecs in modern digital cellular telephones, these TTY audio tones may be unintentionally distorted while being transmitted through cellular telephones. In order for TTY devices to continue to work in cellular networks, the cellular telephone must be set into a mode that optimizes the compression codec to handle TTY tones instead of the human voice.

7 Making Data Connections

The HP iPAQ hw6500 Mobile Messenger series 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.

NOTE: EDGE is a global standard for wireless wide-area data communication being rapidly deployed by GSM carriers worldwide. Actual download speeds may vary. Coverage is subject to transmission limitations and terrain, system capacity and other limitations. Not all features and service options are available in all areas.

Use the following options to get connected:

• Use the GPRS/EDGE technology integrated on your HP iPAQ to connect to a Virtual Private Network (VPN) or to remotely connect to your mobile Internet Service Provider (ISP).
• Make a wireless GSM/GPRS/EDGE connection to place a phone call or send or receive e-mail, text message, or Multimedia Message Service (MMS) messages.

NOTE: EDGE technology delivers faster data speed than GPRS to mobile devices. It allows users to connect to the Internet and send and receive data, including digital images, Web pages and photographs faster than with a GSM/GPRS network. If a network provider does not have EDGE technology deployed, the HP iPAQ defaults to GPRS data transfer rates. Because EDGE is integrated into GPRS technology when it is enabled by your service provider, there is no visible means of identifying when it is being used. You will only receive faster data transmission.

• Transfer information between Bluetooth enabled devices.
• Transfer information between two Infrared (IrDA) enabled ports.

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 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. GPRS may not be available in all networks. GPRS data transmission speeds may vary based upon network capabilities and other conditions. The establishment and continuation of a GPRS connection depends on network availability, provider support, and signal strength.

For more information on this subject, refer to the Help file on your HP iPAQ by tapping Start > Help > Connections.

Impact of Data Connection When a Phone Call is Received

Class B mobile phones may be attached to both GPRS and GSM services, using one service at a time. Class B enables making/receiving a voice call, or sending/receiving a text message during a GPRS connection. During voice calls or text messaging, GPRS services are suspended and then resumed automatically after the call or text message session has ended.

Using GSM/GPRS/EDGE Connections

GSM/GPRS/EDGE technology is integrated into your HP iPAQ. To send or receive data over a GSM/GPRS/EDGE network, 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 and must 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.

Creating a GPRS/EDGE Connection

A GPRS/EDGE connection provides high-speed data transfer and is typically used for Web browsing and to send and receive small bursts of data such as e-mail and MMS messages.

To create a GPRS/EDGE connection, you must subscribe with a GSM service provider that supports GPRS/EDGE. After you configure your GPRS/EDGE connection and connect to the GPRS network, you may be required to authenticate GPRS.

NOTE: Your service provider must enable the GPRS/EDGE features on your account.

12 Using Messaging

NOTE: To access Messaging Help on your HP iPAQ, from the Start menu, tap Help > Messaging.

Understanding Messaging

When using Messaging, you can send and receive messages in three ways: Internet e-mail, text messages, and Multimedia Message Service (MMS) messages. These accounts are already created in your HP iPAQ and are described more later in this chapter. The different types of messages can be:

• Internet e-mail --- messages sent and received by using the e-mail address you received from your Internet Service Provider (ISP) or your employer.
• Text messages --- messages sent and received through your mobile phone service provider by using a phone number as the message address.
• MMS messages -- messages sent and received through your mobile phone service provider by using a phone number or an e-mail address as the message address.

Additional accounts can be set up on your HP iPAQ such as a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) or an Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) account. POP3 and IMAP4 are protocols used to retrieve e-mail from a mail server. The newer version, IMAP4, is similar to POP3 but supports some additional features. For example, with IMAP4, you can search through your e-mail messages using keywords while the messages reside on the mail server. You then can choose which messages to download to your HP iPAQ.

Using Folders

Each e-mail account, text message account, and MMS account has its own folder hierarchy with five default folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, and Sent Items. The messages you send and receive through the mail account are stored in these folders. Also, you can create additional folders within each hierarchy. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the HP iPAQ. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends on the Messaging options you have chosen.

The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, MMS, text messages, or a POP3 or IMAP4 mail server.

If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Outlook Inbox folder will automatically be synchronized with your HP iPAQ. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync; however, when you synchronize wirelessly over the air using Exchange ActiveSync, only the Calendar, Contacts, and E-mail folders will

synchronize. The folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read the messages while away from your personal computer.

If you use MMS or text messages, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.

If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your HP iPAQ or personal computer. This folder synchronization occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected.

For all accounts except MMS, you can access folder options by tapping Tools > Manage Folders on your HP iPAQ.

Synchronizing Inbox

After selecting Inbox for synchronization in ActiveSync, e-mail messages are synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. During synchronization:

- Messages are copied from the folders on your personal computer or the Microsoft Exchange server to the Outlook e-mail folders on your HP iPAQ. By default, you receive messages from the last three days only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size.

NOTE: You can only synchronize information directly with an Exchange Server if your company is using Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2002 or later.

NOTE: You can synchronize information over the air if your company is using Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 or later.

• Messages in the Outbox folder on your HP iPAQ are transferred to Exchange or Outlook and then sent from those programs.
• Messages on the two computers are linked. When you delete a message on your HP iPAQ, it's deleted from your personal computer the next time you synchronize.
• Messages in Outlook e-mail subfolders (or other e-mail folders) are synchronized only if they have been selected for synchronization in ActiveSync.

NOTE: If you have numerous e-mails and contacts on your personal computer, you may have to synchronize your HP iPAQ with your PC several times before all of the information downloads to your HP iPAQ.

For information on initiating Inbox synchronization or changing synchronization settings, see ActiveSync Help on your personal computer.

NOTE: MMS and text messages are not received through synchronization. Instead, they are sent to your HP iPAQ via your mobile phone service provider.

Setting Up Messaging Accounts

To set up an account on your HP iPAQ, you will create and connect to an e-mail account as well as select specific options, depending on the type of account you create.

Internet E-mail

Tips on Changing E-mail Options

- To save memory, Inbox downloads e-mail message headers only instead of the whole message. To automatically download the whole message, from the list, select Get full copy of messages.

- When using IMAP4, to save memory, Inbox does not download attachments. To download attachments, select the appropriate option. You can also select to limit the size of messages and attachments that are downloaded to your mobile HP iPAQ.

- If your outgoing e-mail server (SMTP) requires authentication, select Outgoing e-mail server requires authentication.

- If you are using an SSL connection, select Require SSL connection. Connections that use SSL allow you to send personal information safely.

- To save memory, limit the number of e-mails downloaded to your HP iPAQ by lowering the number of days to display them. You can increase this number as well.

Deleting an Account

To delete an account:

1. From the Start menu, tap Accounts > Accounts.
2. Tap and hold the name of the account, and then tap Delete.

Receiving Attachments

Attachments sent with an e-mail message or downloaded from the server appear as an icon at the bottom of the message in its own window. Tapping the attachment icon opens the attachment if it has been fully downloaded. You can mark an attachment for downloading (IMAP4 account only) the next time you connect.

• If you receive messages through synchronization, start ActiveSync on your personal computer, and click File > Mobile Device, and then select your HP iPAQ. Click Tools > Options. Select the message account, click Settings > Include File Attachments.
• If you receive messages wirelessly for a POP3 or IMAP4 account, in Messaging on the HP iPAQ, tap Accounts > Accounts, and then tap the desired account. Tap Next until you reach Server Information, and then tap Options. Tap Next twice, and then select Get full copy of messages.
• If you receive messages through Outlook e-mail, start ActiveSync on your personal computer, and click Tools > Options..., and then select the Server tab. Click on Inbox > Settings and check Include file attachments and size limitation.

NOTE: Embedded images and OLE objects cannot be received as attachments. An embedded message can be viewed as an attachment when using IMAP4 to receive e-mail. However, this feature does not work if TNEF is enabled so you can receive meeting requests on Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5.

Meeting Requests

If you receive your e-mail messages through ActiveSync, you will automatically receive meeting requests. If you connect directly to an e-mail server, the server must be running Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5 or 2000 for you to receive meeting requests. If you are running Microsoft Exchange Server 2000, you will automatically receive meeting requests in your Inbox.

To receive meeting requests on Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5:

• Ask your system administrator to activate Rich Text Format and TNEF support for your account. If TNEF is enabled, you will not receive messages that are included in other messages as attachments, and you will not be able to tell if a message has an attachment until you get the full copy. In addition, download time may be longer.
• While setting up your mail account, select Get file attachments.

NOTE: If you connect directly to an e-mail server and only receive message headers and/or a limited number of lines per message, tap and hold the message that you think is a meeting request, and then tap Mark for Download.

1. Open the meeting request.
2. Tap the response icon ^?X and, from the pop-up menu, tap Accept, Tentative, or Decline. If you want, you can also include a written message with the response. The response will be sent the next time that you synchronize or connect to your e-mail server, and your HP iPAQ Calendar will be updated.

Creating or Changing a Signature

Text Messaging

Text messaging is the transmission of short text messages to and from a mobile phone, fax machine and/or IP address. A single text message can be no longer than 160 alpha-numeric characters and contain no images or graphics.

Messages longer than 160 alpha-numeric characters will be sent as multiple text messages. A character count is visible when text messages (New/Reply/Forward) are composed. The count also shows how many text messages will be generated when the message is sent.

The SMS Service Center phone number is provided by your mobile phone service provider. Text messaging should function correctly after activating your account. To verify the number used or to change the SMS Service Center phone number, from the Start menu, tap Phone > Tools > Options > Services > Voicemail and SMS > Get Settings.

Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS)

The Multimedia Messaging Service (MMS) is a method of transmitting photographs or video clips, sound files, and short text messages over wireless networks.

When the phone radio is turned on for the first time, the GSM/GPRS Manager application detects the mobile phone service provider and automatically populates the MMS settings on the HP iPAQ. For more information on changing settings in the GSM/GPRS Manager, refer to Chapter 5, in the section "Modifying the GSM/GPRS Network Settings."

Alternately, you can access some MMS settings by taping, from the Start menu, Messaging > Tools > MMS Settings. It is not recommended to change the MMS settings provided by your mobile phone service provider unless they request the change.

13 Managing the Battery

Your HP iPAQ is shipped with the rechargeable battery partially charged. It is recommended that you fully charge the HP iPAQ battery before setting up the unit, and recharge regularly. Your HP iPAQ uses some power to maintain files in RAM and the clock. While working at your desk, keep the HP iPAQ and AC Adapter connected through the HP iPAQ Cradle. When you travel, it is recommended that you carry the AC Adapter, Charger Adapter plug, or an optional spare battery with you.

△ CAUTION: Use only an HP approved battery for your HP iPAQ. Inserting a battery that does not comply with HP requirements might cause the unit to malfunction and will void the HP iPAQ limited warranty.

The HP iPAQ has a small internal backup battery that (when charged) allows you to change the main battery without losing RAM data (user-installed programs and data) as long as it is replaced within 15 minutes. Use the backup battery to "bridge" the time you need to re-install a new standard or extended battery or to find your serial number. You can check the charge level of the back up battery by referring to "Maximizing Battery Life and Checking Battery Charge Levels" in this chapter. The internal battery can only be removed by a qualified HP Technical Support Representative.

BATTERY SAVING TIP: To ensure you always have battery power available, you can purchase an extra Standard Battery or Extended Battery. These batteries can be charged using the HP iPAQ. To purchase an extra battery, refer to the HP Web site at www.hp.com/go/ipaqaccessories.

Inserting the Battery

To insert the removable/rechargeable battery in the HP iPAQ hw6500 Mobile Messenger series:

1. First remove the battery cover of the device by pressing down on the battery cover latch ① and sliding the cover down ② and off of the device.

NOTE: Before inserting the battery, write down the Product ID, Serial Number, and IMEI Number that are located either on the label under the battery or in the Asset Viewer program. You need these numbers if you phone Customer Support for product or warranty support.

1. Align the battery connectors on the battery with the housing pins ① in the battery compartment and insert the battery.
2. Press the battery down into the battery compartment ②.

1. Replace the battery cover by aligning the two tabs on the top of the cover ① with the two latches in the cover compartment and sliding the battery cover on until it clicks into place ②.

The main battery provides the HP iPAQ with power when it is not physically connected to the cradle or AC adapter. The internal backup battery provides the HP iPAQ with enough power to maintain data when you remove the battery for short periods of time. When the backup battery is fully charged, it maintains data for up to 15 minutes. However, you should always replace the main battery (extended or standard) immediately to minimize the drain on the backup battery.

If the main or backup battery charge level is low, recharge the battery by connecting the HP iPAQ to AC power using the cradle or the AC adapter or insert a fully charged battery into the HP iPAQ. When the HP iPAQ turns off (due to low battery level) and does not turn on again, you have only up to 72 hours to recharge the battery before you lose data.

For information on purchasing an optional standard or extended battery, visit the HP Web site at www.hp.com/go/ipaqaccessories.

△ CAUTION: Do not allow the battery installed in your HP iPAQ to discharge completely. Doing so will not harm your HP iPAQ or battery, but your device will lose all data not stored in File Store (ROM). Discharging the battery completely is similar to performing a hard reset. Refer to Chapter 1, "Getting to Know Your HP iPAQ Mobile Messenger" for more information on performing a hard reset.
