GETTING STARTED

Congratulations on purchasing a Compaq iPAQ H3000 Windows Powered Pocket PC.

Due to the size and capabilities of your iPAQ H3000 Pocket PC, you can keep your most

important business and personal information up-to-date and close at hand. Microsoft

ActiveSync increases the power of your iPAQ H3000 Pocket PC by allowing you to syn-

chronize the information on your desktop or laptop computer with your Pocket PC. Picture

yourself in the following situations:

• While walking with a colleague, your cell phone rings and your manager asks if the

two of you are free this afternoon for an emergency meeting. While your colleague

fumbles through his paper organizer, you press a button on your iPAQ H3000 and

instantly see a list of the day’s appointments and meetings. You are quickly able to tell

your manager your available times. For more information on scheduling appointments

and meetings, see Chapter 4 (Microsoft Pocket Outlook).

• You’re meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You download the latest

movie information from the Internet onto your computer then synchronize it with your

iPAQ H3000. At dinner, you pull out your iPAQ H3000 and review your movie

options with your friends. For more information on downloading Web pages to your

iPAQ H3000, see Chapter 6 (Pocket Internet Explorer).

• A calendar reminder alerts you that it’s time to catch the bus to work. You grab your

iPAQ H3000 and catch the bus just in time. Because ActiveSync keeps the information

on your iPAQ H3000 up-to-date, you leisurely review your task list, make notes about

the new books and CDs you want to buy, and read and respond to e-mail messages.

When you get back to the office, ActiveSync transfers any task changes you made,

your notes, and your e-mail message responses to your computer. For more informa-

tion on ActiveSync, see Chapter 3 (Microsoft ActiveSync).

This reference guide describes your iPAQ H3000 Pocket PC hardware, provides an over-

view of the programs on your iPAQ H3000, and explains how to connect your iPAQ

H3000 to a computer, a network, or the Internet. For instructions on setting up your iPAQ

H3000, see the Getting Started card. For instructions on installing ActiveSync, see the

booklet accompanying the ActiveSync CD. The following table is a guide to additional

information to help you use your iPAQ H3000:

1Communications

Port Connects your iPAQ H3000 to the cradle or auto-

sync cable.

2Reset Button Lets you reset your iPAQ H3000. For more infor-

mation, see “Reset the iPAQ H3000 and Clear

Memory” in Appendix A.

3On/Off Switch Allows you to clear all data, and reset your system

if you have forgotten your password. Clearing

memory deletes all data and restores your iPAQ

H3000 to its default settings. For more informa-

tion, see “Reset the iPAQ H3000 and Clear Mem-

ory” in Appendix A.

4DC Jack Allows you to connect to external power with the

supplied AC adapter.

5iPAQ Expansion

Pack Connector Connects to the connector of an (optional) iPAQ

Expansion Pack.

Your iPAQ H3000 comes with either a cradle or auto-sync cable, and an AC adapter. This

allows you to recharge your iPAQ H3000, as well as synchronize the information between

your iPAQ H3000 and a computer using ActiveSync. For more information on synchroni-

zation, see ActiveSync Help on your computer.

Your iPAQ H3000 contains a rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery that is recharged each

time you place your iPAQ H3000 in the cradle and connect the cradle to an external power

source with the AC adapter. You never need to replace the battery. Just place your iPAQ

H3000 in the cradle for three to four hours for an initial charge before you use it the first

time. Next, place it in the cradle for a short time each day to recharge the battery to its full

capacity.

If the battery gets very low, your iPAQ H3000 displays a warning message. If this occurs,

save any unsaved data you are working on, perform a synchronization with your com-

puter, then turn off your iPAQ H3000. Don’t try to restart your iPAQ H3000 until you have

connected to external power. The battery acts like a rechargeable backup battery by pro-

tecting your data if your iPAQ H3000 shuts down. If your iPAQ H3000 does shut down,

you still have about 24 hours to recharge the battery before you lose the data on your

Pocket PC.

Your iPAQ features the iPAQ Expansion Pack System, which allows you to personalize

the appearance of your iPAQ H3000 or add extra functionality. iPAQ Style Packs offer a

range of styles to customize your iPAQ, while Expansion Packs, such as the Compact-

Flash Card, or PC Card Expansion Pack, let you add extra features.

Compaq iPAQ Expansion and Style Packs are designed to easily slide on and off your

Pocket PC without having to power off your Pocket PC.

1. Slide the iPAQ H3000 into the Expansion Pack until it clicks into place. The Pocket

PC will alert you when the Expansion Pack is ready to be used.

Press the QMenu button, then tap Expansion Pack. If the Expansion Pack is installed

properly, the name of the Expansion Pack will appear in the Expansion Pack Properties

screen.

Slide the Expansion Pack down and off your iPAQ H3000.

The optional Compaq iPAQ CF Card Expansion Pack supports Type I and Type II Com-

pactFlash cards. The CompactFlash slot allows you to install storage cards for backup and

storage of data and applications. It also allows you to install communication devices such

as a LAN adapter or a fax/modem.

1. Remove the CompactFlash slot cover.

2. Push the card, connector-side first into the slot until it stops.

1. Close all applications on your iPAQ H3000 that have open files on the CompactFlash

card.

2. Lever the CompactFlash card out of the slot using a fingernail.

• Your iPAQ H3000 automatically recognizes a wide range of CompactFlash cards

approved for use with ActiveSync. If you are ever instructed to install card-specific

iPAQ H3000 drivers provided by a CompactFlash card manufacturer, be sure to install

only device drivers specifically designed for the operating system on your iPAQ

H3000. If you are unclear about installation instructions, call your CompactFlash card

manufacturer for more information.

• Some CompactFlash cards consume large amounts of power. To avoid battery drain-

age when using a CompactFlash card, connect your iPAQ H3000 to AC power wher-

ever possible.

• If the battery is very low, you should not attempt to save data to a CompactFlash card.

This may result in the loss of data. First connect to AC power.

• Do not turn off your iPAQ H3000 or remove the CompactFlash card when you are in

the middle of performing an operation, such as saving data to your CompactFlash

card.

• Keep your CompactFlash card in a protective case when not in use to protect it from

dirt and moisture.

Your iPAQ H3000 has a stylus for selecting items and entering information. To use the

stylus, press and hold the stylus release button while pulling the stylus upward out of its

compartment. To replace the stylus, just insert it back into the compartment, then push it

until it clicks into place.

The following actions are available with the stylus:

•Tap. Touch the screen once with the stylus to open items and select options.

•Drag. Hold the stylus on the screen and drag it across the screen to select text and

images. Drag within a list to select multiple items.

•Tap-and-hold. Tap and hold the stylus on an item to see a list of actions available for

that item. Tap the action you want to perform on the pop-up menu that appears.

When you turn on your iPAQ H3000 for the first time each day (or after 4 hours of inactiv-

ity), you’ll see the Today screen. You can also display it by tapping then Today. On the

Today screen, you can see at a glance important information for the day.

that you want to perform the action on. When the menu appears, lift the stylus, and tap the

action you want to perform. Or tap anywhere outside the menu to close the menu without

performing an action.

Your iPAQ H3000 reminds you in a variety of ways when you have something to do. For

example, if you’ve set up an appointment in Calendar, a task with a due date in Tasks, or

an alarm in Clock, you’ll be notified in any of the following ways:

• A message box appears on the screen.

• A sound, which you can specify, plays.

• The green alarm light flashes on your iPAQ H3000.

To choose reminder types and sounds for your iPAQ H3000, tap then Settings. In the

Personal tab, tap Sounds & Reminders. The options you choose here apply throughout

your iPAQ H3000.

You have several options for entering new information:

• Enter typed text in the input panel by using the soft keyboard or Character Recognizer.

• Write or draw pictures directly on the screen.

• Speak into your iPAQ H3000 microphone to record a message.

• Synchronize or copy information from your computer to your iPAQ H3000 using

ActiveSync. For more information on ActiveSync, see the booklet accompanying the

ActiveSync CD or ActiveSync Help on your computer.

Use the input panel to enter information in any program on your iPAQ H3000. You can

either type using the soft keyboard or write using Character Recognizer. In either case, the

characters appear as typed text on the screen.

Tap the Input Panel button to show or hide the input panel, then tap the arrow next to the

Input Panel button to see your choices.

When you use the input panel, your iPAQ H3000 anticipates the word you are typing or

writing and displays it above the input panel. When you tap the displayed word, it is

inserted into your text at the insertion point. The more you use your iPAQ H3000, the

more words it learns to anticipate.

1. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button then Keyboard.

2. Tap the keys with your stylus on the soft keyboard that displays.

1. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button then Character Recognizer.

2. Write a letter in the box.

When you write a letter, it is converted to typed text that appears on the screen. For spe-

cific instructions on using Character Recognizer, see Appendix B.

If you want to edit or format typed text, you must select it first by dragging the stylus

across the text you want to select.

You can cut, copy, and paste text by tapping and holding the selected words then tapping

an editing command on the pop-up menu, or by tapping the command on the Edit menu.

In any program that accepts writing, such as the Notes program and the Notes tab in Cal-

endar, Contacts, and Tasks, you can use your stylus to write directly on the screen. Write

the way you do on paper. You can edit and format what you’ve written and convert the

information to text at a later time.

Tap the Pen button to switch to writing mode. This action displays lines on the screen to

help you write.

If you want to edit or format writing, you must select it first.

1. Tap and hold the stylus next to the text you want to select until the insertion point

appears.

2. Drag the stylus across the text you want to select without lifting the stylus.

If you accidentally write on the screen, tap Tools then Undo and try again. You can also

select text by tapping the Pen button to deselect it then dragging the stylus across the

screen.

You can cut, copy, and paste written text in the same way you work with typed text: tap

and hold the selected words then tap an editing command on the pop-up menu, or tap the

command on the Edit menu.

•Tap Tools then Recognize.

If you want to convert only certain words, select them before tapping Recognize on the

Tools menu (or tap and hold the selected words then tap Recognize on the pop-up menu).

If a word is not recognized, it is left as writing.

If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of alternates or

return to the original writing. To do so, tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one word at a

time). On the pop-up menu, tap Alternates. A menu with a list of alternate words appears.

Tap the word you want to use, or tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the

original writing.

Tips for getting good recognition:

• Write neatly.

• Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross of the “t” and

apostrophes below the top line so that they are not confused with the word above.

Write periods and commas above the line.

• For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Tools menu.

• Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that your iPAQ

H3000 can easily tell where words begin and end.

• Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and

some punctuation cannot be converted.

• If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an “8”) after you

attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will not be included if you attempt

to recognize the writing again.

You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. The difference

between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and how they can be

edited. For example, selected drawings can be resized, while writing cannot.

• Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears. Subsequent

strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings that do

not cross three ruled lines will be treated as writing.

If you want to edit or format a drawing, you must select it first. Tap and hold the stylus on

the drawing until the selection handle appears. To select multiple drawings, deselect the

Pen button then drag to select the drawings you want.

You can cut, copy, and paste selected drawings by tapping and holding the selected draw-

ing then tapping an editing command on the pop-up menu, or by tapping the command on

the Edit menu. To resize a drawing, make sure the Pen button is not selected and drag a

selection handle.

In any program where you can write or draw on the screen, you can also quickly capture

thoughts, reminders, and phone numbers by recording a message. In Calendar, Tasks, and

Contacts, you can include a recording in the Notes tab. In the Notes program, you can

either create a stand-alone recording or include a recording in a written note. If you want

to include the recording in a note, open the note first.

1. Hold your iPAQ H3000 so that the microphone is near your mouth or other source of

sound.

2. Press and hold the Record button on the side of your iPAQ H3000.

3. Make your recording while holding down the Record button.

4. Release the Record button to stop recording. Two beeps will sound. The new recording

appears in the note list or as an embedded icon.

To play a recording, tap it in the list or tap its icon in the note.

The Find feature on your iPAQ H3000 helps you quickly locate information. On the

menu, tap Find. Enter the text you want to find, select a data type, then tap Go to start the

search.

You can customize your iPAQ H3000 by adjusting iPAQ H3000 settings and installing

additional software.

You can adjust iPAQ H3000 settings to suit the way you work. To see available options,

tap , Settings, then the Personal, System, or Connections tab located at the bottom of

the screen. You can also view settings by pressing the QMenu button, then tapping Set-

tings.

Item Description

Programs added to your iPAQ H3000 at the factory are stored in ROM (read-only mem-

ory). You cannot remove or modify this software, and you’ll never accidentally lose ROM

contents. Programs and data files added to your iPAQ H3000 after factory installation are

stored in RAM (random access memory). You can install any program created for your

iPAQ H3000, as long as your iPAQ H3000 has enough memory. You can also install a pro-

gram to a CompactFlash card inserted into your iPAQ H3000. The most popular place to

find software for your iPAQ H3000 is on the World Wide Web.

You’ll need to install the appropriate software for your iPAQ H3000 on your computer

before installing it on your iPAQ H3000.

1. Download the program to your computer (or insert the CD or disk that contains the

program into your computer). You may see a single *.exe file, a *.zip file, a Setup.exe

file, or several versions of files for different iPAQ H3000 types and processors. Be

sure to select the program designed for the Pocket PC and your iPAQ H3000 processor

type (StrongARM SA-1110).

2. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that comes with

the program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.

3. Connect your iPAQ H3000 and computer.

4. Double-click the *.exe file.

5. If the file is an installer, the installation wizard will begin. Follow the directions on the

screen. Once the software has been installed on your computer, the installer will auto-

matically transfer the software to your iPAQ.

If the file is not an installer, you will see an error message stating that the program is

valid but it is designed for a different type of computer. You will need to move this file

to your iPAQ. If you cannot find any installation instructions for the program in the

Read Me file or documentation, use ActiveSync Explore to copy the program file to

the Program Files folder on your iPAQ. For more information on copying files using

ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help.

Once installation is complete, tap , Programs, then the program icon to switch to it.

Tap , Settings, Menus, the Start Menu tab, then the check box for the program. If you

do not see the program listed, you can either use File Explorer on your iPAQ to move the

program to the Start Menu folder or use ActiveSync on the computer to create a shortcut

to the program and place the shortcut in the Start Menu folder.

Using File Explorer on your iPAQ:

1. Tap , Programs, File Explorer, and locate the program (tap the folder list, labeled

MICROSOFT ACTIVESYNC

Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your computer with

the information on your iPAQ H3000 Pocket PC. Synchronization compares the data on

your iPAQ H3000 Pocket PC with your computer and updates both computers with the

most recent information. For example:

• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your iPAQ H3000 with your

choice of Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Schedule+, or Microsoft Exchange on your

computer.

• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel documents between your iPAQ

H3000 and computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.

With ActiveSync, you can also:

• Back up and restore your iPAQ H3000 data.

• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your iPAQ H3000 and computer.

• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For exam-

ple, you can synchronize continually while the iPAQ H3000 is in the cradle or only

when you choose the synchronize command.

• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is syn-

chronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you

want synchronized.

For information on installing ActiveSync, see the booklet accompanying the ActiveSync

CD. For information on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on the computer.

chapter 4

MICROSOFT POCKET OUTLOOK

Microsoft Pocket Outlook includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Inbox, and Notes. You can

use these programs individually or together. For example, e-mail addresses stored in Con-

tacts can be used to address e-mail messages in Inbox.

Using ActiveSync, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft

Schedule+, or Microsoft Exchange on your computer with your iPAQ H3000. Each time

you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the changes you made on your iPAQ H3000 and

computer and updates both with the latest information. For information on using Active-

Sync, see ActiveSync Help on the computer.

You can switch to any of these programs by tapping them on the menu.

Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in either of these ways:

1. Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Outlook on your computer.

2. Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail server through

an Internet service provider (ISP) or a network.

E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. First,

enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync options. For information on enabling Inbox

synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the computer. During synchronization:

• E-mail messages are copied from the Inbox folder of Exchange or Outlook on your

computer to the Inbox folder on your iPAQ H3000. The e-mail messages on the two

computers are linked, so when you delete an e-mail message on your iPAQ H3000, it’s

also deleted from your computer the next time you synchronize.

• E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your iPAQ H3000 are transferred to

Exchange or Outlook, then sent from those programs.

In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your computer, you can send and

receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using an optional modem or

network card connected to your iPAQ H3000. You’ll need to set up a remote connection to

a network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail server. For more information, see

Chapter 7 (Getting Connected).

When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the iPAQ H3000

Inbox folder, messages in the iPAQ H3000 Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have

been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the iPAQ H3000 Inbox.

Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server

rather than your computer. When you delete a message on your iPAQ H3000, it’s also

deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect.

You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages

while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which

saves space on your iPAQ H3000.

When working offline, once you’ve downloaded new message headers or partial mes-

sages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server then decide which messages to download

completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete messages you’ve

marked for retrieval and sends the messages you’ve composed.

Messages you receive are displayed in the message list. By default, the most recently

received messages are displayed first in the list.

When you receive a message, tap it in the list to open it. Unread messages are displayed in

bold.

When you connect to your e-mail server or synchronize with your computer, Inbox down-

loads only the first 100 lines of each new message by default. No e-mail attachments are

downloaded. The original messages remain on the e-mail server or your computer.

You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in their entirety the next time you

synchronize or connect to your e-mail server. In the message list, tap and hold the message

you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap Get Full Copy. The icons in the Inbox mes-

sage list give you visual indications of message status.

You’ll need to download a full message before you can view its attachments. Attachments

appear as icons in a window pane at the bottom of the message. Tapping an attachment

icon opens the attachment if it has been fully downloaded or marks it for download the

next time you synchronize or connect to your e-mail server.

You specify your downloading preferences when you set up the service or select your syn-

chronization options. You can change them at any time:

• Change options for Inbox synchronization using ActiveSync options. For more infor-

mation, see ActiveSync Help.

• Change options for direct e-mail server connections in Inbox on your iPAQ H3000.

Tap Tools then tap Options. On the Service tab, tap the service you want to change.

1. Tap New.

2. Enter an e-mail address in To, or select a name from the contact list by tapping the

Address Book button.

All e-mail addresses entered in the e-mail fields in Contacts appear in the Address

Book.

3. Compose your message.

4. Tap Send when you’ve finished the message.

The message is placed in the Outbox folder on your iPAQ H3000 and will be delivered in

one of two ways:

• They are transferred to the Outbox folder in Exchange or Outlook on your computer

and sent the next time you synchronize.

• They are transferred to your e-mail server the next time you connect. In Inbox, make

sure the appropriate service is selected on the Services menu. Then tap the Connect

button (or Connect on the Services menu).

By default, messages are displayed in one of four folders for each service you’ve created:

Inbox, Deleted (local), Outbox, and Sent. The Deleted folder contains messages that have

been deleted on the iPAQ H3000. If you are using IMAP4, you may see a Deleted Items

folder. This folder is for messages deleted on the e-mail server. The behavior of the

Deleted and Sent folders depends on the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap

Tools then Options. On the Message tab, select your options.

If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools, then New Folder to

create new folders. To move or copy a message to another folder, in the message list, tap

and hold the message then tap Move to or Copy to on the pop-up menu.

If you move e-mail messages into a folder you create, the link is broken between these e-

mail messages and their copies on the computer. When you synchronize next, the e-mail

messages in the folder you created will not be synchronized. In addition, e-mail messages

that are missing from the iPAQ H3000 Inbox folder will be deleted from the Inbox folder

on the computer so that both Inbox folders match. This prevents you from getting dupli-

cate copies of an e-mail message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to

the e-mail messages you move out of Inbox except from the iPAQ H3000.

The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using POP3 or IMAP4:

• If you are using POP3, folders will behave like they do when using ActiveSync.

• If you are using IMAP4, the folders you create and the messages you move are mir-

rored on the e-mail server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox

folder to a folder called Family, the e-mail server will create a copy of the Family

folder and move the messages into that folder. Therefore, messages are available to

you anytime you connect to your e-mail server, whether it is from your iPAQ H3000,

laptop computer, or computer. This synchronization of folders occurs when you create

a new folder, move e-mail messages into a folder, or tap Synchronize Folders on the

Services menu. If you want to view the messages in a folder while disconnected from

your e-mail server, select the folder then tap Folder Available Offline on the Services

menu. This downloads the e-mail message in the folder to your iPAQ H3000.

Use Microsoft Money to easily enter and view your financial transactions, check your

account balances, and track your investments. If you are using Microsoft Money on your

computer, you should synchronize first so that you won’t have to enter your accounts and

other required information on your iPAQ H3000 by hand. Before you can synchronize,

you will need to run the Setup program found in the MSMoney folder under Extras on the

ActiveSync CD. The first time you synchronize, all Microsoft Money information on the

iPAQ H3000 will be replaced with information from your computer. If you do not use

POCKET INTERNET EXPLORER

Use Pocket Internet Explorer to view Web pages in either of these ways:

• During synchronization with your computer, download your favorite links, mobile

favorites, and mobile channels that are stored in the Mobile Favorites subfolder in

Internet Explorer on the computer.

• Connect to an Internet service provider (ISP) or network and browse the Web. To do

this, you’ll need to create the connection first, as described in Chapter 7 (Getting

Connected).

To switch to Pocket Internet Explorer, tap then Internet Explorer.

Only items stored in the Mobile Favorites subfolder in the Favorites folder in Internet

Explorer on your computer will be synchronized with your iPAQ H3000. This folder was

appendix a

TIPS AND TROUBLESHOOTING

This chapter contains troubleshooting information that can help you to solve any problems

you might encounter with your iPAQ H3000. It also has a tips section that may help you to

get better service from your iPAQ H3000.

If you can't solve a particular problem, see “Where to Find Information” in Chapter 1. The

various documents and websites listed here may have the information you need to solve

the problem.

To help diagnose a malfunction, use the Diagnostic utility, which activates a debugging

and system diagnostic tool. Press the QMenu button, then tap QUtilities, Self Test. For

more information, see "Self Test" in Chapter 2.

If you encounter a problem that you cannot solve, contact Compaq technical support or

your service provider for assistance.

If your iPAQ H3000 responds slowly, stops responding as expected, or “freezes,” try reset-

ting it. A reset causes the iPAQ H3000 to restart and re-adjust memory allocation.

Unsaved data in open windows may be lost. Use the stylus to press and hold the Reset but-

ton for about two seconds.

If you want to clear all data from your iPAQ H3000 and return it to the factory settings,

you should clear the memory.

1. Using the stylus, slide open the On/Off door on the base of the iPAQ H3000.

2. Slide the On /Off switch to the Off position using the stylus. Wait about one minute,

then slide the switch to the On position.

3. Close the Battery On/Off door using the stylus.

When the battery is low, you will see a battery icon in the status bar of the Today screen.

Recharge a low battery as soon as possible. If your iPAQ H3000 shuts down, you still have

about 24 hours to recharge the battery before you lose the data on your Pocket PC.

You want your iPAQ H3000 battery charge to last as long as possible, especially when

you’re on the road. Under normal conditions, you can get many hours of use from a full

charge. The following tips to help you get the most from them:

Use the AC adapter to plug your iPAQ H3000 into external power whenever possible,

especially when:

• Establishing a remote connection (some modems use a lot of power).

• Using the backlight feature of your iPAQ H3000 display.

• Connecting to a computer.

• Playing audio files for extended periods.

While on battery power, your iPAQ H3000 automatically suspends operation if you

haven’t touched the hardware buttons or used the stylus for three minutes. Maximize bat-

tery life by shortening the time. Press the QMenu button, then press Power, and adjust the

On battery power setting.

The iPAQ H3000 produces sounds in response to a number of events, such as warnings,

appointments, and screen taps or hardware-button presses. To optimize battery life, turn

off any sounds you don’t need. Tap then Settings. On the Personal tab, tap Sounds &

Reminders and clear check boxes on the Volume and Reminders tabs.

Tap then Settings. On the Personal tab, tap Sounds & Reminders. On the Remind-

ers tab, clear the Flash light for check box.

If you forget your password, you’ll need to clear memory on the iPAQ H3000. See “Reset

the iPAQ H3000 and Clear Memory”, earlier in this appendix.

If you’ve used ActiveSync or CF Backup/Restore to create a backup file, all of your pro-

gram data can be restored. Your Pocket PC password is removed and you can set a new

password.

Memory on your iPAQ H3000 is shared between storage memory and program memory.

Storage memory is used to store the information you create and programs you install. Pro-

gram memory is used to run programs on your iPAQ H3000. The iPAQ H3000 automati-

cally manages the allocation between storage and program memory. However, in some

situations, such as when memory is low, the iPAQ H3000 may not be able to automatically

adjust the allocation. If you receive a message stating that storage or program memory is

unavailable, try the following solutions:

• Move data to a storage card.

•Tap , Programs, then File Explorer. Tap and hold the file you want to move, and

tap Cut. Browse to the My Documents folder in the storage card folder, tap Edit, then

tap Paste. Files stored in folders other than My Documents or stored in subfolders

within subfolders in My Documents may not show up in the list view of some pro-

grams. When using Notes, Pocket Word, or Pocket Excel, you can also move files by

opening the item and tapping Tools or Edit then Rename/Move.

• Move e-mail attachments. In Inbox, tap Tools then Options. On the Storage tab,

select Store attachments on storage card. All attachments are moved to the storage

card, and new attachments are automatically stored on the storage card.

• Set programs such as Notes, Pocket Word, and Pocket Excel to automatically save new

items on the storage card. In the program, tap Tools then Options.

• If you are copying files from your computer or device to your iPAQ H3000, try adjust-

ing the slider in the Memory setting. Tap then Settings. On the System tab, tap

Memory and check whether the slider can be adjusted manually before copying files.

• Delete unnecessary files. Tap , Programs, then File Explorer. Tap and hold the

file, then tap Delete on the pop-up menu. To find your largest files, tap then Find.

In the Type list, tap Larger than 64 KB, then tap Go.

• In Internet Explorer options, delete all files and clear history. In Internet Explorer, tap

Tools then Options. Tap Delete Files and Clear History.

• Remove programs you no longer use. Tap then Settings. On the System tab, tap

Remove Programs. Tap the program you want to remove, then Remove.

• Clear program memory as described in the following section. This will free some pro-

gram memory so that it can be allocated to storage memory.

• Stop programs you are not currently using. In most cases, programs automatically stop

to free needed memory. However, in some situations, such as when confirmation dia-

log boxes are waiting for a user response, the program may not be able to automati-

cally stop. To check the state of your active programs, tap then Settings. On the

System tab, tap Memory then the Running Programs tab. Tap the program you want

to view, then tap Activate. Close any open windows or messages and return the pro-

gram to list view. If this doesn’t work, you can stop the program manually. First, make

sure that your work is saved by closing open items and returning the program to list

view. Then, stop the program by tapping Stop or Stop All on the Running Programs

tab.

• Clear storage memory as described in the preceding section. This will free some stor-

age memory so that it can be allocated to program memory.

• Reset your iPAQ H3000, as described in “Reset the iPAQ H3000 and Clear Memory”,

earlier in this appendix.

Reset your iPAQ H3000. See “Reset the iPAQ H3000 and Clear Memory”, earlier in this

appendix. If the symptom continues, you may have run out of memory. Check your mem-

ory usage and clear storage memory as described above.

If the iPAQ H3000 doesn’t respond when you briefly press the Power button, press and

hold the button for a full second. If that doesn’t work, try the following in order until the

problem is resolved:

• Plug the iPAQ H3000 into AC power.

• Reset the iPAQ H3000. See “Reset the iPAQ H3000 and Clear Memory”, earlier in this

appendix.

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight may cause your iPAQ H3000 screen to temporarily

darken. This is normal for LCD screens and is not permanent.

• Turn on the backlight, by holding down the Power button for one second.

• Adjust the backlight brightness level. Press the QMenu button, then tap Backlight,

• Verify with your network administrator that the network you are trying to connect to is

available, or try to connect to it from another computer.

• You may need to change the device name if you are trying to connect to a network and

cannot because another device with the same name is already connected. To change

the device name, tap then Settings. On the System tab, tap About, then the Device

ID tab.

The following solutions may help if you encounter problems when connecting to your

computer. Additional troubleshooting information is available in Connections Help on the

CHARACTER RECOGNIZER

Using Character Recognizer, you can write characters directly on your iPAQ H3000

screen with your stylus, just as you would on a piece of paper. The characters you write

are translated into typed text. Use Character Recognizer anywhere you want to enter text,

for example, to write a note or to fill in fields in a dialog box.

The default writing mode for Character Recognizer is lowercase (Jot-compatible) mode.

In this mode, you write characters in lowercase. The chart at the end of this appendix con-

tains examples of how to write characters in lowercase mode. You can also choose to write

in uppercase (Graffiti-compatible) mode. In this mode, you write characters in uppercase.

If you prefer to write in uppercase mode, tap Uppercase Mode in Options on the input

method menu. Whether a letter appears in uppercase or lowercase when it is converted to

typed text depends on where in the input panel you write it, not on the mode you have

selected.

The Character Recognizer input panel is divided into three writing areas. Letters written in

the left area (labeled ABC) creates uppercase letters, and letters written in the middle area

(labeled abc) creates lowercase letters. Use the right area (labeled 123) for writing num-

bers, symbols, special characters, and punctuation.

The following chart is a partial display of the characters you can write while in lowercase

mode (the dot on each character is the starting point for writing). Remember that even

though you write a letter in its lowercase form, the case of the text that is displayed

depends on where you write the letter. For example, if you write a lowercase “a” in the

ABC area, an uppercase “A” is displayed on the screen.

For more information on using Character Recognizer and for demos of all characters, tap

on the Character Recognizer input panel.
