Getting to Know Your iPAQ Pocket PC

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 personal 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 personal 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 personal computer mouse button. When you tap and hold, a circle of red dots appears around the stylus to indicate that the menu will soon pop up.

Opening Bluetooth Manager

From the Today screen, tap Start > Bluetooth Manager.

The first screen that displays is My Shortcuts.

Locating and Selecting a Device

Several tasks require you to locate a device and connect to it. When you are required to locate a device, the Bluetooth browser assists by searching for your desired function that supports other Bluetooth devices.

Pairing Devices

You can pair devices so they must exchange a computer generated security key prior to each connection. The security key is also called a “Link Key.” It is generated from a unique Bluetooth device address, a random number, and a user-defined password.

After two devices are paired, they have a trusted relationship with each other that can be verified using a link key. No additional input is needed from the user. Therefore, connections and activities can be performed between the paired devices without constant authorization from the user.
