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  
3–3  
 
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:

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.  
Using the Phone Features

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.

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.  
2.  
3.  
From the Phone keypad, tap Tools > Options > Phone tab.  
Select Require PIN when phone is used.  
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.

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  
5–23  
   
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  
Before connecting the optional TTY device to the phone, you must enable  
TTY support in order to prepare the HP iPAQ Phone to expect a TTY device  
to be connected.

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

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.

8 Using GPS Navigation  
Getting Acquainted  
Your HP iPAQ includes Global Positioning System (GPS) Navigation  
technology; therefore it is capable of using GPS software applications that  
are compatible with this device. The GPS technology on your HP iPAQ 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.  
With your GPS capable device, you can use navigation software from  
other third-party companies. For GPS navigation solutions recommended  
by HP, visit www.hp.com/go/gpsnavigation. However, before you  
purchase, download or install any GPS software, you must determine  
that the application is compatible with this device. Check with the GPS  
software supplier to see if their software is compatible with the HP iPAQ  
hw6500 Mobile Messenger series.  
Setting Up Your HP iPAQ  
First follow the instructions in the printed Getting started guide  
until you complete creating a partnership with your personal  
computer. This includes installing the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)  
and battery, synchronizing your HP iPAQ with your personal computer,  
and establishing a partnership.  
Setting Up Internet Access on Your HP iPAQ  
Now that you have completed the steps in the Getting started guide, verify  
you have Internet access on your HP iPAQ by visiting a web site such as  
www.google.com or www.yahoo.com. If you cannot access the Internet,  
take your HP iPAQ out of the cradle and use a GPRS connection. For  
details, refer to Chapter 7, in the section “Creating a GPRS/EDGE  
Connection.”  
Using HP iPAQ Quick GPS Connection Utility  
To improve connection performance, you need to enable the HP iPAQ  
Quick GPS Connection Data Utility and download the latest data file.  
Even though the GPS radio on your HP iPAQ is able to connect to the GPS  
satellites without enabling the Quick GPS Connection Utility, it may take  
a few minutes longer and even up to five minutes to locate the satellites if  
you do not use this utility.  
The default settings on the HP iPAQ Quick GPS Connection Utility are set  
where the device cannot receive automatic updates unless you enable  
the update feature.

Tips for Taking Better Pictures  
To ensure the pictures you take are of the highest possible quality.  
•
•
•
When taking pictures of scenes with many fine details and many  
colors (for example, a farmer’s market), use the Best  
compression setting.  
When taking pictures of subjects where the background has bright  
lights, try to frame the subject so that the bright lights do not appear

11 Expansion Cards  
You can expand the memory and connectivity of your HP iPAQ by using  
SD (Secure Digital), SDIO (Secure Digital Input/Output), or mini-SD  
(Secure Digital) expansion cards. Use these optional expansion cards for:  
•
Adding functionality such as Wi-Fi capability,  
Bar Code Scanners, etc.  
•
Expanding the memory of your HP iPAQ for data storage.  
NOTE: Expansion cards must be purchased separately and are not  
included with your HP iPAQ.  
Your HP iPAQ includes slots for an SDIO card and a mini-SD card on the  
right side of the device. The SDIO card slot can be used with various types  
of data cards and provides data exchange functionality such as Wi-Fi. The  
bottom mini-SD card slot can only be used for data storage.  
To locate information about expansion cards, go to the following HP Web  
site: www.hp.com/go/ipaqaccessories.

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 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  
12–1  
       
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.  
Using Messaging  
12–2  
 
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.

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

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.

To ensure you always have battery power available, purchase a  
spare standard or extended battery. The spare battery can be  
charged in the Battery Charger. For more information on  
purchasing optional batteries, visit the HP Web site at  
www.hp.com/go/ipaqaccessories.  
Checking Your Battery  
To check your battery charge level:  
•
From the TodayPanel on the Today screen, tap the Battery icon >  
Main tab.  
•
Or from the Today screen, tap Start > Settings > System tab  
> Power > Main tab.  
You can view the amount of battery power remaining for both the main  
battery and the backup battery.  
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.  
Managing the Battery  
13–9  
 
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, in the section “Performing a Hard Reset.” for more  
information on performing a hard reset.

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.
