Using the Stylus
Your iPAQ Pocket PC comes with a stylus that you should use to
tap or write on your screen.
ÄCAUTION: To prevent damage to your iPAQ Pocket PC screen, never
use any device other than the stylus that comes with the Pocket PC
or an approved replacement to tap or write on the screen. If you
lose or break your stylus, you can order extras at
www.hp.com/go/ipaqaccessories.
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 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
requested to select your time zone. After setting the time zone,
you still need to set the time and date on your unit. All three
settings are located in the Clock Settings screen and can be set
at the same time.
Note: By default, the time on the iPAQ Pocket PC is synchronized
with your computer each time the two devices connect using
ActiveSync.

(also known as a normal reset) stops all running applications, but
does not erase any programs or saved data.
A hard reset (also known as a full reset) is used when you want to
clear all user-installed settings, programs, and data from the
Read-Only Memory (ROM). By performing a hard reset, you
return the device to its original shipping state.

Using the Touchpad or Cursor
The touch-sensitive pad on your HP iPAQ senses the position of a
person's finger on its surface to provide screen navigation, cursor
movement, and interactive input. Use your touchpad to select
items, scroll, launch applications, and cursor control.
The touchpad is similar to using a mouse. Here are some terms
used when using the touchpad or cursor.
■Center Tap selects an item or launches an application.
■Tapping means quickly touching and then lifting your finger
off the Touchpad surface.
■Swipe Gesture swipes a specified number of steps in the
direction you swipe (vertical or horizontal).
■Swipe-and-Hold provides continuous scrolling in the
direction you want to scroll.
Personalizing Your Touchpad Settings
You can personalize the following settings for your HP iPAQ
touchpad:
■Touchpad sensitivity allows you to control how much finger
pressure is required to move the pointer at a particular speed.
■Scrolling Rate specifies how many steps a Swipe gesture or
a Swipe-and-Hold gesture scrolls when you are in Navigation
Mode.
■Cursor Speed allows you to adjust how quickly the cursor
moves in your iPAQ screen when you are in Cursor Mode.
For more information on your HP iPAQ touchpad, refer to the
online help on your HP iPAQ or go to the Synaptics NavPoint

Using Security Features
<Exact settings and user interface subject to change. More
information to come.>
The widespread use of Pocket PCs has significantly increased
employee productivity. However, non-secured or inadequately
secured Pocket PCs are creating network security issues for the
corporate workplace when they connect to a secure network.
Valuable information is bypassing network security and being
stored on inadequately secured Pocket PCs. The HP ProtectTools
and Fingerprint Reader security features have on-device security
protection so there is no risk of losing sensitive information on
your Pocket PC.
Using HP ProtectTools
