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

Using ActiveSync 3–4

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:

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.

Using the Phone Features 5–2

Inserting a SIM Card

To insert the SIM card into the HP iPAQ, you must first remove the battery

inserting the SIM card. For more information on removing the battery, see

Chapter 13, ”Managing the Battery.”

Using the Phone Features 5–3

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.

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.

Using the Phone Features 5–5

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.

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.

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

Using the Phone Features 5–24

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.

NOTE: For information on connecting TTY devices to the HP iPAQ, refer

to the TTY device manufacturer’s documentation.

Enabling TTY Support

3. When the phone call is answered, start typing onto the

TTY

keyboard.

The letters typed into the machine are turned into electrical signals

that travel over regular telephone lines. When the signals reach

their destination (another TTY device), they are converted back into

letters which appear on a display screen, are printed out on paper,

or both.

When you are finished typing your phone conversation, the person

on the other end of the line may begin typing their answers or

comments to you.

4. To end a phone call, press and hold the red End Call phone

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.

Making Data Connections 7–2

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.

Using GPS Navigation 8–1

8 Using GPS Navigation

Getting Acquainted

NOTE: GPS Navigation is not available in all countries.

Your HP iPAQ includes Global Positioning System (GPS) Navigation

technology. This technology is based on a worldwide system of GPS

satellites orbiting the earth that continuously transmit digital radio signals.

These radio signals contain data on the satellites’ locations and their exact

clock time and are used to determine your location on the earth.

The GPS Navigation software uses this location data to provide turn-by-

turn driving directions between your current location and your destination.

You can also use the software to look up and navigate to nearby

restaurants, hotels, movie theaters, gas stations, museums, and other

points of interest. However, before you can do this, you must load a map

onto your HP iPAQ or memory card. Use your HP iPAQ to download one

free city map from the Internet from a pre-selected list of cities in the United

States, Canada, and Western Europe. You can purchase full map sets of

these regions from www.tomtom.com/gpsnavigation

NOTE: To access GPS satellites and establish your exact position, a line

of sight is required. This means your position must be situated outdoors

or close to a window.

NOTE: Some recently developed suburbs and country areas may not be

included on the downloaded maps and will not be discernible on

the screen.

Instructions for downloading are included in the ”Downloading a Map”

section in this chapter.

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 Inbox 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

Using Messaging 12–2

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

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.

Using Messaging 12–3

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.

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.

Managing the Battery 13–2

Inserting the Battery

To insert the removable/rechargeable battery in the HP iPAQ hw6500

Mobile Messenger series:

MHz and PCS 1900 MHz operations.

Health and Safety Information

Since your HP wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver, you may

be exposed to Radio Frequency (RF) signals when it is powered on.

However, your HP wireless phone has been designed so that it does not

exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency energy that are

set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.

These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted

levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based

on the safety standards previously set by both the United States and

international standards:

Regulatory Notices A–5

This equipment under test has been shown to be capable of compliance

for localized Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) for uncontrolled environment/

general population exposure limits specified in ANSI/IEEE Standard

C95.1-1992 and had been tested in accordance with measurement

procedures specified in FCC/OET Bulletin 65 Supplement C (2001) and

IEEE Standard 1528-200X (Draft 6.5, January 2002). Ministry of Health

(Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety

margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and

health. The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit

of measure known as the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR). The SAR limit set

by the FCC is 1.6W/kg.

NOTE: In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by

the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The

standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional

protection to the public and to account for any variations.

safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human

body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation

of the equipment.

• This device has been designed to comply with applicable

requirements for exposure to radio waves based on scientific

guidelines that include margins intended to assure the safety of all

people, regardless of health and age. These radio wave exposure

guidelines employ a unit of measurement known as the Specific

Absorption Rate (SAR). Tests for SAR are conducted using

standardized methods with the phone transmitting at its highest

certified power level in all used frequency bands. The SAR data

information is based on CENELEC’s standards EN50360 and

EN50361 which use the limit of 2 Watts per kilogram (W/kg)

averaged over 10 grams of tissue. The highest SAR value for this

model phone when tested is as follows:
