To learn more about the capabilities of the Travel Companion, refer to this guide as well as the Additional
Product Information on the Getting Started CD. To begin navigation, proceed to the next step.
Navigation Setup
If you do not want to navigate now, continue learning about the Travel Companion and refer back to this
section when you do want to use navigation.
You can use the navigation features of the Travel Companion right out of the box. The easiest way to
open the GPS application is from the HP Quick Launch screen. When launching the GPS application
for the first time, follow the on-screen instructions to configure and set up personal preferences.
The Travel Companion includes a built-in GPS receiver. To navigate to a destination, the GPS
application must determine your current position, for which it uses the Global Positioning System (GPS).
Available for free and without subscription, GPS uses satellites to transmit signals to GPS receivers.
GPS signals work in all weather, anywhere in the world.
To establish a GPS signal, use the GPS receiver outdoors with a clear view of the sky. The GPS
application can take up to five minutes to find your current position during its first use. If it takes longer
than five minutes, make sure that you are in an open place without tall buildings or trees nearby. In
subsequent uses, the GPS application will find your position much faster. Once the GPS application
locates your current position, the application shows your position on the map.
If you want to immediately start navigating:
1. Press the power button to power on the Travel Companion. If this is the first time powering on the
Travel Companion, you must either press the Reset button or connect to power for the unit to power
on.
2. Start the GPS application by tapping Navigation from the HP Quick Launch screen.
3. Place the Travel Companion in a location with a clear view of the sky.
4. Install the car kit.
5. Insert the Travel Companion and plug it in using the travel power adapter.
ENWW Navigation Quick Start 11
Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/

●Confirm that you are running ActiveSync on your personal computer with a supported operating
system (OS).
●To get more information about the supported OS versions, visit: www.microsoft.com/
windowsmobile.
●The latest version of ActiveSync is at: www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads.
●If you are running ActiveSync 4.1 or later and personal firewall software on your personal computer,
please add ActiveSync to the firewall program’s exception list.
(Firewall software, such as Sygate Personal Firewall, TrendMicro PC-cillin Internet Security, Norton
Personal Firewall, McAfee Personal Firewall, or Zone Alarm Security Suite may block
synchronization.) Refer to the documentation that came with your firewall program to determine
how to add ActiveSync 4.1 or later to the program’s exception list. To further troubleshoot a firewall
application and enable ActiveSync 4.1 or later, visit: www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/

●During the ActiveSync installation, if you inadvertently left the Microsoft Exchange Server option
box checked and are not planning to connect to an Exchange server, follow these steps:
●Connect your HP iPAQ to your personal computer. Be sure an ActiveSync connection is
established.
●On your personal computer, click Start > All Programs > Microsoft ActiveSync.
●Click Tools > Options > Sync Options tab.
●Uncheck the boxes for the sync items listed under the Server group.
●Place a checkmark in the boxes under the Desktop group for those items to synchronize.
●Disconnect your HP iPAQ from your personal computer and wait for the ActiveSync message
confirming that your device is no longer connected. Reconnect your HP iPAQ to your personal
computer. Wait for about two minutes to see if your HP iPAQ connects to your personal computer.

2GPS
GPS General Information
Satellite signal reception for your GPS-enabled HP iPAQ generally requires that you go outdoors to start
the GPS navigation software. Place the HP iPAQ where there is a clear view of the sky or on the
dashboard of a vehicle that does not have thermal glass windshields or windows.
NOTE Interference might take place close to tall buildings or large trees, and under very cloudy
or overcast skies, all of which can block the satellite signal from reaching the HP iPAQ. Try to
avoid these obstructions before using GPS.
WARNING! When using hardware and software navigation aids, in a vehicle or elsewhere, it
is your sole responsibility to place, secure, and use these aids in a manner that will not cause
accidents, personal injury, property damage or obstruct your view. You are solely responsible for
observing safe driving practices. Do not operate this product while driving. Park the vehicle first.
If you are going to use GPS navigation in your vehicle for an extended period of time, charge your HP
iPAQ using the Auto adapter.
For information on GPS accessories, visit www.hp.com/go/ipaqnavigation.
ENWW GPS General Information 3
Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
Verifying Compatibility
All HP iPAQ Global Positioning System (GPS) enabled devices come with HP iPAQ compatible GPS
navigation software solutions.
If you are interested in purchasing additional GPS navigation software to use on your HP iPAQ, check
with the GPS software supplier (before you purchase, download, or install any GPS navigation software)
to determine that the application is compatible with your specific HP iPAQ model.
Once you have verified compatibility, purchase and install a map onto the HP iPAQ or memory card to
be able to start using the GPS navigation technology.
NOTE HP recommends that you download all GPS maps to a memory card that is compatible
with your specific HP iPAQ model, or to the iPAQ File Store folder. This prevents you from losing
your map data due to a possible power loss or a need to perform a clean reset on your HP iPAQ.
Since your HP iPAQ model uses Windows Mobile 5.0, you can store maps in main memory that
is not erased if the battery loses power.
You can purchase memory cards at www.hp.com/accessories/ipaq.
4 Chapter 2 GPS ENWW
Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
Configuring My GPS Software to Connect to My HP iPAQ's
GPS Receiver
All GPS software applications need to know which communications port to use to access GPS data.
Your HP iPAQ already has the GPS port specified for the GPS software applications that came with the
device. However, if you install additional GPS applications onto your HP iPAQ, you may need to specify
the GPS port in your GPS application's configuration settings.
If your GPS software does not automatically discover the GPS receiver on your HP iPAQ, set your GPS
application's configuration settings to COM7 and a baud rate of 57600. If you need help, refer to the
documentation that came with your GPS software application.
ENWW Configuring My GPS Software to Connect to My HP iPAQ's GPS Receiver 5
Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
Managing GPS Automatically
Your GPS-enabled HP iPAQ uses Microsoft Windows Mobile 5.0, so the operating system automatically
manages access to the HP iPAQ GPS receiver to allow multiple programs to simultaneously access
GPS data.
If your GPS-enabled HP iPAQ does not automatically discover the GPS receiver on your device, set
your GPS application's configuration settings to COM7 and a baud rate of 57600. If you need help, refer
to the documentation that came with your GPS software application.

Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
Identifying Your HP iPAQ's Embedded Receiver
The GPS receiver in your HP iPAQ is the SiRFstarIII from SiRF and is software upgradeable. The
SiRFstarIII is a high sensitivity GPS receiver with rapid time-to-first fix technology that provides superior
location performance, so under normal use there is no need for an external antenna.
However, an optional external antenna is available if you want to use your HP iPAQ in locations that do
not provide ideal GPS reception.
8 Chapter 2 GPS ENWW
Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
Using an External Antenna with your GPS Receiver
Under normal use, there is no need for an external GPS antenna. However, if you want to use your HP
iPAQ in locations less favorable for GPS reception, such as inside of a car away from the windshield,
you can use an optional 3V active external antenna. Plug this antenna into the gold MMCX connector
on the left side of your HP iPAQ.
ENWW Using an External Antenna with your GPS Receiver 9
Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
Losing The GPS Signal While in My Car
GPS performance on the HP iPAQ may be affected if the vehicle has thermal glass windows and
windshields, which can block the HP iPAQ from receiving a GPS signal from satellites.
To improve GPS signal strength, place the HP iPAQ where there is a clear view of the sky or on the
dashboard of a vehicle that does not have thermal glass windshields. A direct line of sight is required
between the HP iPAQ and the GPS satellites to access information from the satellites.
10 Chapter 2 GPS ENWW
Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
Losing the GPS Signal Frequently
To improve the satellite signal to the GPS-enabled HP iPAQ, go outdoors to start the GPS navigation
software. Place the HP iPAQ where there is a clear view of the sky or on the dashboard of a vehicle
that does not have thermal glass windshields or windows.
NOTE Interference may exist close to tall buildings, large trees, and under very cloudy or
overcast skies, all of which can block the satellite signal from reaching the HP iPAQ. Try to avoid
these obstructions before using GPS.

7 Messaging
Understanding Messaging
To send and receive e-mail messages for an e-mail account that you have with an Internet Service
Provider (ISP) or that you access using a VPN server connection (typically a work account), you need
to connect to the Internet or your corporate network, depending on the account.
You can send and receive Outlook e-mail and Internet e-mail through an Internet Service Provider (ISP).
You can also access e-mail from work using a VPN connection.
E-mail in the Outlook e-mail account is sent and received through synchronization with a personal
computer using ActiveSync or through wireless synchronization directly with an Exchange Server.
Internet e-mail is sent and received by connecting to a Post Office Protocol 3 (POP3) or Internet
Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) e-mail server. When connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 server, you
use a modem to connect to your Internet Service Provider (ISP) You can also use a modem or Ethernet
card to connect to the local area network that your e-mail server is connected to.

Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
Using Folders
Each Messaging account has its own set of folders with five default Messaging folders:
●Inbox
●Outbox
●Deleted Items
●Drafts
●Sent Items
The messages you receive and send through the account are stored in these folders. You can also
create additional folders within each account.
The way folders work vary by type:
●If you use an Outlook e-mail account, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are
synchronized automatically with your device. You can select to synchronize additional folders by
designating them for synchronization. The folders you create and the messages you move are
mirrored on the e-mail 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 to that folder. You can then read the messages
while you are away from your personal computer.
●If you use a POP3 account and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is
broken between the messages on the device and their copies on the e-mail server. When you
connect, the e-mail server detects that the messages are missing from the Inbox folder on the
device and deletes them from the e-mail server. This prevents having duplicate copies of a
message, but it also means that you no longer have access to messages that you move to folders
created from anywhere except the device.
●If you use an IMAP4 account, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are
mirrored on the e-mail server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to
your e-mail server, whether it is from your device or personal computer. This synchronization of
folders occurs whenever you connect to your e-mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete
folders when connected. You can also set different download options for each folder.

Synchronizing E-mail
When you synchronize Outlook e-mail on the personal computer with your device, e-mail messages are
synchronized as follows:
●Messages in the Inbox folder on your personal computer or Exchange Server are copied to the
Inbox folder of the Outlook e-mail account on your device.
●Messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Exchange Server or Outlook and
then sent from those programs.
●When you delete a message on your device, it's deleted from your personal computer or Exchange
Server the next time you synchronize.
●The default sync settings synchronize messages from the past three days only and the first .5KB
of each new message is downloaded. It does not download file attachments.
NOTE For more information on starting Outlook e-mail synchronization or changing
synchronization settings, see ActiveSync Help on the personal computer or tap Contents.
Text messages are not received via synchronization. Instead, they are sent to your device via
your service provider.

Setting Up Messaging Accounts
Receiving Attachments
An attachment sent with an e-mail message or downloaded from the server appears below the subject
of the message. Tapping the attachment opens the attachment if it has been fully downloaded or marks
it for download the next time you send and receive e-mail. You can also download attachments
automatically with your messages if you have an Outlook e-mail or IMAP4 e-mail account.
If you have an Outlook e-mail account, do the following:
1. Tap Start > Programs > ActiveSync.
2. Tap Menu > Options.
3. Tap E-mail > Settings, and then select Include file attachments.
If you have an IMAP4 e-mail account with an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or an account that you
access using a VPN server connection (typically a work account), do the following:
1. Tap Start > Messaging.
2. Tap Menu > Tools > Options.
3. Tap the name of the IMAP4 account.
4. Tap Next until you reach Server information, and tap Options.
5. Tap Next twice, and select Get full copy of messages and When getting full copy, get
attachments.
Tip Embedded images and objects cannot be received as attachments.
An embedded message can be viewed as an attachment when using IMAP4 to receive e-mail.
However, this feature does not work if Transport Neutral Encapsulation Format (TNEF) is enabled
so that you can receive meeting requests.
To store attachments on a storage card rather than on the device, tap Menu > Tools > Options
> Storage tab, and select the Store attachments on storage card check box.
Receiving Meeting Requests
If you receive your e-mail messages through ActiveSync, you can receive meeting requests. When
connecting directly to an e-mail server, the server must be running Microsoft Exchange Server version
5.5 or later for you to receive meeting requests.
54 Chapter 7 Messaging ENWW
Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
If the server is running Microsoft Exchange Server 2000 or later, your meeting requests are automatically
received in your Inbox. However, to receive meeting requests on Microsoft Exchange Server 5.5, do the
following:
●Ask your system administrator to activate Rich Text Format (RTF) and Transport Neutral
Encapsulation Format (TNEF) support for your account.
With TNEF enabled, your messages that are included in other messages as attachments are not
received, and you can not know if a message has an attachment until you get the full copy. In
addition, download time may be longer.
●Change e-mail download options if your account is not set up to receive attachments.
After you are set up to receive meeting requests, do the following:
1. Open the meeting request.
2. Tap Accept, or Menu > Tentative, or Menu > Decline. If you want, you can also include a message
with the response. The response is sent the next time that you synchronize or connect to your e-
mail server, and your device calendar is updated.
Creating or Changing a Signature
1. Tap Start > Messaging.
2. Tap Menu > Tools > Options.
3. Tap Accounts tab > Signatures.

Downloading Messages from a Server
1. Tap Menu > Switch Accounts and tap the account you want to use.
2. Tap Menu > Send/Receive. The messages on your device and e-mail server are synchronized:
new messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder, messages in the device Outbox folder
are sent, and messages that have been deleted from the server are removed from the device Inbox
folder.
Tip If you want to read the entire message, tap Menu > Download Message while in the
message window. If you are in the message list, tap and hold the message, and then tap Menu
> Download Message. The message is downloaded the next time you send and receive e-mail.
This also downloads message attachments if you selected those options when you set up the e-
mail account.
The size column in the message list displays the local size and server size of a message. Even
when an entire message has been downloaded, these numbers may differ because the size of
a message can vary between the server and the device.
Installing an Online Address Book
Many e-mail servers, including servers running Exchange Server, can verify names with an online
address book, called a directory service, using Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP). When
you create an e-mail account, your e-mail server's directory service is added to the Address tab, and
you are given the option to enable it. After it is enabled, Messaging checks your contact list and then
the directory service to verify names that you enter in the To, Cc, and Bcc fields. To enable a directory
service or if you want to use additional services, follow these steps:
1. If you are adding a new account, ask your network administrator for the name of the directory
service and the server.
2. In the message list, tap Menu > Tools > Options > Address tab.
3. In the In Contacts, get e-mail addresses from list, select which e-mail address book to check in
All e-mail fields. All e-mail fields are checked first unless you select None.
4. If your e-mail server is already listed, select the server's directory service check box to enable it
and tap OK.
5. If your e-mail service is not listed, tap Add.
6. In the Directory name and Server boxes, enter the LDAP directory and server names.
7. Ask your network administrator if authentication is necessary for your server. If so, select the
Authentication is necessary on this server check box, and enter your user name and password.
8. To have Messaging check this service, select the Check name against this server check box.
ENWW Using Messaging 57
Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation) http://www.antennahouse.com/
Tip To delete a service, tap and hold the service, and tap Delete.
While synchronizing your Outlook E-mail account, disable any directory services you have
installed by clearing the Check name against this server check box. This helps avoid getting
error messages when Messaging tries to verify names against the service that you are not
connected to.

Wireless Synchronization Cost Saving Tips
How you manage the cost of synchronizing wirelessly from your HP iPAQ depends on your priorities.
To Do this
Reduce network connection or data transfer costs Increase the time between scheduled synchronizations, or
synchronize manually. Check the details of your rate plan.
Extend battery life Schedule synchronization less frequently or synchronize
manually.
Keep your information up to date During periods of high mail volume, schedule synchronization
at regular but frequent intervals. During periods of low mail
volume, schedule synchronization as items arrive.
NOTE The device power-down timer is reset each time you synchronize. If you schedule a
synchronization interval that is smaller than the time interval set for the device to automatically
power down, the device never turns off to save battery power.
