Getting to Know Your iPAQ

Pocket PC

Congratulations on purchasing an HP iPAQ hx4700 series Pocket

PC. Use this guide to help you set up your Pocket PC and to learn

how it works.

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 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 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 computer mouse button. When you tap and

hold, a circle of red dots displays around the stylus to indicate

that the menu will soon pop up.

Managing the Battery

Your iPAQ Pocket PC is shipped with a rechargeable battery that

is partially charged. It is recommended that you fully charge the

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 and AC Adapter connected through the USB Synchronization

Common cradle. When you travel, it is recommended that you

carry the AC Adapter, Charger Adapter plug, or an optional spare

battery with you.

Ä^{CAUTION: Use only an HP approved battery for your iPAQ Pocket PC.}

Inserting a battery that does not comply with HP requirements might

cause the Pocket PC to malfunction and will void the HP iPAQ limited

warranty.

The iPAQ Pocket PC also 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

15 minutes. The internal battery can only be removed by qualified

HP Technical Support.

Using HP ProtectTools

The HP ProtectTools provides on-device security protection,

minimizing the risk of losing sensitive information on your HP

iPAQ Pocket PC. HP ProtectTools provides strong authentication

and encryption of email, calendar, contacts, notes, tasks, and/or

all files stored in the My Documents folder. It can also be used to

encrypt data stored on expansion cards.

CAUTION: HP ProtectTools provides strong protection of your Pocket

PC and the data stored on it. To access the Pocket PC, you will have

the option of enabling either a PIN or password. If you forget your

PIN or password, you will be able to access the device with a backup

question and answer. If you forget both your PIN/password and

question/answer, there is no way to unlock your device. You will

have to reset it, resulting in the loss of all data on your iPAQ Pocket

PC, including data stored in iPAQ File Store. It is recommended that

you remember your PIN/password and question/answer.

Setting Up Security

You should only need to set up security one time. You can make

changes to any of your security settings at a later time without

going through the setup procedure again. Refer to “Manage

Security Settings” later in this chapter for more information.

To set up security on your iPAQ Pocket PC:

1. From the Today screen, tap Start > Settings > Personal tab

ProtectTools

Unlocking Your Pocket PC

The authentication method for unlocking your Pocket PC is as

follows:

■

Enter your PIN or password when prompted. If you

successfully enter your PIN or password, the device unlocks.

■

After the number of attempts you selected during setup, if

you still do not enter your PIN or password correctly, you are

prompted to answer the hint question you defined. If you

successfully answer your hint question, the device unlocks.

Note: After you successfully authenticate, you are prompted to

reset any authentication information you didn't enter correctly.

For example, if you forgot your PIN, but successfully enter your

hint question/answer, you are prompted to enter a new PIN.

■

If you do not answer your hint question successfully, you will

have an increasing time delay between hint question/answer

attempts until you enter the correct answer. If you have

completely forgotten the answer to your hint question and

will not remember it with further attempts, then you must tap

the Reset Now button.

Using HP ProtectTools

Ä^{CAUTION: If you tap the Reset Now button, you will lose all data on}

the device, including the iPAQ File Store. If you choose this option, be

aware that resetting iPAQ File Store could take more than 10 minutes

after the iPAQ initialization process has been completed. It is

recommended that you connect your device to AC power during this

period to avoid timeouts.

If you perform a hard reset instead of tapping the Reset Now button,

your iPAQ Pocket PC returns to its default settings and loses all

information (files, settings, etc.) except data stored in iPAQ File Store. In

this case, you must still answer your hint question to regain access to

your Pocket PC. For more information on performing a hard reset, refer

to Chapter 1, “Getting to Know Your iPAQ Pocket PC.”

Encrypting/Decrypting Data

If your iPAQ Pocket PC has been off for longer than the time you

selected during setup, your data is encrypted. When you turn the

device on, you will be prompted to authenticate using your PIN or

password. After successful authentication, your data will be

decrypted. This may take a few moments depending on the

amount of data you chose to have encrypted.

You can monitor the decryption process in two ways:

■

If you selected Display encryption status on the Encryption

Settings screen during setup, the HP ProtectTools window

displays the decryption status.

■

If you choose not to display this status, the

encryption/decryption process will proceed in the

background allowing you to use your Pocket PC for other

purposes.

■

In either case, a blue lock icon will appear in the Taskbar at

the bottom of the Today screen during decryption. When the

icon disappears, decryption is complete. Typically you will

notice that the Pocket PC responds more slowly during the

encryption/decryption process.

You must authenticate yourself and wait for the decryption

process to complete before synchronizing using Microsoft

ActiveSync. If decryption is not complete before synchronization

begins, ActiveSync may not be initiated. To correct the problem,

disconnect and reconnect the device after decryption is complete.

If you enable Server Synchronization on ActiveSync, it is

recommended that you do not select a Mobile Schedule to

automatically initiate synchronization. Since authentication and

decryption are necessary when the Pocket PC is turned on,

automatic synchronization will not work properly when HP

ProtectTools is enabled. The same problem may also arise when

using other server-based synchronization products.

features.

802.1X Certificate Enroller

This utility allows you to request a user certificate from a

certificate server. Once the certificate has been received and

stored on your HP iPAQ, you can access the network using one of

the 802.1X protocols. Refer to “Manually Entering New Network

Settings” earlier in this chapter for information on selecting one

of these protocols.

To retrieve a certificate:

LEAP Registration Utility

Cisco Lightweight Extensible Authentication Protocol (LEAP) is

an 802.1X authentication protocol that uses a username and

password pair to authenticate access by a wireless client to a

wireless router.

Use of the LEAP registration utility is required to log on to a

LEAP-authenticated network. Most of the other types of secure

networks are set up automatically by the HP iPAQ Wi-Fi

connection software. However, accessing a LEAP-authenticated

network requires initial registration using this utility. Once you

have authenticated and accessed this type of network, a

connection can take place automatically whenever you access the

LEAP-authenticated network.

To register the LEAP utility:

1. Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > LEAP.

2. Tap New to create a LEAP profile. A LEAP profile must
