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.

4.Place a checkmark in the boxes next to the features to be enabled (Calendar, Contacts, Inbox).

5.Follow the on-screen instructions to set up Exchange ActiveSync.

NOTE: For more information, refer to the Microsoft Windows Mobile Web site at www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile.

Using the Serial Infrared (IR) Connection

As an alternative to using the HP iPAQ Cradle or Exchange ActiveSync, you can synchronize your HP iPAQ and your computer using an infrared connection if you have an infrared port or an infrared USB adapter installed on your computer. The infrared connection option works only on computers that have Microsoft Windows 98SE, Me, 2000, or XP operating systems installed.

To set up an infrared connection to a computer:

1.Synchronize your HP iPAQ with your computer using the HP iPAQ Cradle before the first time you establish an ActiveSync connection via infrared.

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.

To dial an emergency number from the Phone keypad, tap the emergency number appropriate for your region, and then tap Talk.

NOTE: tSee your local telephone directory for emergency numbers used in your area. Emergency numbers can be dialed without a SIM card being inserted in the HP iPAQ and there is no charge for

emergency calls.

Inserting a SIM Card

To insert the SIM card into the HP iPAQ, you must first remove the battery cover and the battery from the HP iPAQ.

1.On the back of your HP iPAQ, press down the battery cover latch 1.

2.Use your thumb to slide the battery cover down and away from the HP iPAQ 2.

3.Remove the battery.

NOTE: If the battery is already installed, you must remove it before inserting the SIM card. For more information on removing the battery, see Chapter 13, ???Managing the Battery.???

4.Insert the SIM card into the SIM slot by aligning the notched corner on the card with the notched corner in the SIM slot, then push the SIM card into the SIM slot. Be sure to push it in all the way.

NOTE: The gold side of the SIM card should be facing down when it is inserted into the SIM slot.

Removing the SIM Card

1.Repeat the previous steps to remove the battery cover and battery.

2.Insert the stylus 1 into the right side of the SIM slot opening 2 and nudge or push the SIM card out of the slot 3. Do not touch the metal contacts.

Activating Your Phone Service

Before you are able to use the phone feature on your HP iPAQ, you need to subscribe with a mobile phone service provider.

NOTE: If you purchased your HP iPAQ from a mobile service provider, phone service may be activated at time of purchase or the mobile service provider may include activation instructions.

If you have purchased a prepaid SIM card to use with your HP iPAQ or, if your service provider issued you a SIM card with a preset PIN, the following information is not applicable.

After you select a service provider, you must place a phone call to the service provider to activate your mobile phone service. Your carrier may require the following information to activate your card:

???SIM Card Serial Number (printed on the box label or on the back of the SIM card)

???IMEI Number (printed on the system label under the removable battery)

Your mobile phone service representative will give you your wireless phone number and walk you through setting up your service.

Phone Features

The following features are supported on your HP iPAQ; however, these features must be activated by your mobile phone service provider:

???Call Forwarding

???CSD???Circuit Switched Data

???GPRS???General Packet Radio Service

???International Dialing

???International Roaming

???Internet access

???Text Message/MMS???Text Message Service/Multimedia Message Service

???Voicemail

???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.

CAUTION: After three consecutive, incorrect PINs are entered, the SIM card locks to prevent further use. If the letters PUK (PIN Unblocking Key) display on your HP iPAQ screen, you have locked your SIM card and must enter your PIN Unblocking Key on the screen to unlock it. If you did not receive a PIN Unblocking Key with your SIM card, you must contact your service provider to unlock it.

If your HP iPAQ is ever stolen or lost, the PIN safeguards your phone against fraudulent use.

To enable your PIN:

1.From the Phone keypad, tap Tools > Options > Phone tab.

2.Select Require PIN when phone is used.

3.Enter the PIN number given to you from your mobile phone service provider along with the SIM card, or enter the default PIN code of 1234.

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.

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.

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.
