Using the Stylus

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

Ä	CAUTION: To prevent damage to your iPAQ Pocket PC screen, never use any device other than the stylus that comes with the Pocket PC 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/products/pocketpc/options.

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 mouse.

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.

Managing the Battery

Model shown in illustrations is iPAQ Pocket PC h5500 Series.

Installing the Battery

If you remove the main battery from your iPAQ Pocket PC, your device does not operate even if you try to use AC power. However, the Pocket PC has a small internal backup battery that allows you to change the main battery without losing RAM data (user-installed programs and data) as long as it is replaced within 10 minutes. If the battery is removed from the unit for longer than 10 minutes, you will lose unsaved RAM data and need to reset the unit.

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

Your iPAQ Pocket PC is shipped with the battery partially charged.

Another option is to use a

Bluetooth-enabled device such as a phone or LAN Access point.

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 Wireless LAN (WLAN) 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.

I cannot connect to my computer using the cable or the Universal Desktop Cradle.

Be sure you have installed Microsoft ActiveSync 3.7 or higher on your host computer before connecting your iPAQ Pocket PC to it.
Be sure your iPAQ Pocket PC is connected to the sync cable or inserted in the Universal Desktop Cradle, and that the sync cable or cradle is connected to your computer.
Be sure your iPAQ Pocket PC is securely seated in the synchronization cradle and is making contact with the cradle connector.
If you are using a serial cable, be sure it is plugged into the COM port on your host computer.
If you are using a USB cable, be sure you are running Microsoft Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, or XP and that you have installed Microsoft ActiveSync 3.7 or a later version on your computer. Also be sure you are connecting directly to a USB port on your computer and not through a USB hub.
Uninstall and reinstall ActiveSync.
If you are running personal firewall software, try disabling it. If you are then able to synchronize, contact the software vendor to information on configuring the required exclusions to eliminate this problem.

Microsoft ActiveSync cannot locate my iPAQ Pocket PC when I synchronize.

Be sure the device is on.
Be sure all cables are securely connected.
Remove your iPAQ Pocket PC from the Universal Desktop Cradle or disconnect it from the Autosync Cable, power on the unit by pressing the Power button, then put it back in the synchronization cradle or connect it to the cable.
If your iPAQ Pocket PC is inserted into an Expansion Pack or cover and then into the Universal Desktop Cradle, try removing it and then placing the Pocket PC alone back into the Universal Desktop Cradle.
Reset the device by using the stylus to lightly press the Reset button on the bottom of the unit.
Check Connection Settings in ActiveSync on your personal computer to ensure the communications port you are using is active.

I cannot open e-mail in the Inbox after I restore using Microsoft ActiveSync.
