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.

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 appears around the stylus to indicate that
the menu will soon pop up.
Setting the Date and Time
When you turn on your iPAQ Pocket PC for the first time, you are

Managing the Battery
Installing the Battery
The Pocket PC 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
immediately.
It is recommended that you fully charge the iPAQ 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
Charger Adapter connected through the desktop cradle. When
you travel, it is recommended that you carry the AC Adapter,
Charger Adapter plug, or an optional spare battery with you.
Your iPAQ Pocket PC is shipped with the battery partially

device address, a random number, and a user-defined password.
After two devices are paired, they have a trusted relationship with
each other that can be verified using a link key. No additional
input is needed from the user. Therefore, connections and
activities can be performed between the paired devices without
constant authorization from the user.

Using the Wireless LAN
Getting Acquainted
Your iPAQ Pocket PC can connect to an 802.11b Wireless LAN
(WLAN) or connect directly to other WLAN-enabled devices.
With WLAN, you can:
■
Access the Internet
■
Send and receive e-mail
■
Access corporate network information
■
Use virtual private networks (VPN) for secure remote access
■
Use hot spots for wireless connectivity
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 standard Wireless LAN (WLAN) infrastructure and 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.

Learning the Terms
It is recommended that you become familiar with the following
terms as you begin to use WLAN technology.
Term
Definition
Wireless Access Point
The access point provides a wireless
connection to a network (additional
hardware).
Infrastructure
This connection mode uses wireless
access points to connect to networks.
Device-to-computer or
ad-hoc
This mode does not use access points.
It is used in peer-to-peer network
communications. All peers must be
configured on the same channel.
Hot spots
Public or private areas where there is a
wireless access point available.
SSID or Network Name
SSID is the acronym for the service set
identifier. This identification number uses a
maximum number of 32 characters and is
case sensitive.

Getting Started with the Wireless LAN
Powering the WLAN On or Off
To use WLAN on your iPAQ Pocket PC, you need to turn on
WLAN and set up your device.
To turn the WLAN on or off:
1. From the Today screen, tap Start > iPAQ Wireless.
2. Tap the WLAN icon.
If the WLAN is powered on, the WLAN icon on the iPAQ
Wireless screen will turn from orange to green and the
Wireless LAN indicator, located to the left of the power
button, will blink green to indicate WLAN is on or alternate
between blinking green and blinking blue if Bluetooth is also
turned on.
Shortcut: If you have enabled Wireless LAN using Start >
iPAQ Wireless, from the Today screen, tap the Connections
icon ( or ), then tap Turn Wireless On or Turn
