a-8Tips and Troubleshooting Modem Connection Problems You may encounter the following problems when using a modem. Additional trouble- shooting information is available in Connections Help on the iPAQ H3000 and Active- Sync Help on the computer. Can’t dial out • Remove your iPAQ H3000 from the cradle. You cannot connect using a modem if your iPAQ H3000 has an active connection with the computer. • Verify that the iPAQ Expansion Pack is installed properly and that the modem is firmly seated and connected to the telephone jack. • Make sure the telephone line is analog. (Analog telephone lines transmit data in analog instead of digital form. Your home telephone line is most likely analog, while office telephone lines are often digital.) • If you create a modem connection for an external modem, select Hayes Compatible on COM1 as your modem. If you are using a modem card, select the modem card as your modem. • To use an external modem, you need to use a NULL modem cable and appropriate adapters to connect the external modem to your iPAQ H3000. • Make sure the modem is waiting for a dial tone.

a-10Tips and Troubleshooting Network Connection Problems • The following solutions may help if you encounter problems when using a network card for network connections. Additional troubleshooting information is available in Connections Help on the iPAQ H3000 and ActiveSync Help on the computer. • Verify that you have an Ethernet card that is compatible with your iPAQ H3000. • Verify that you have added necessary server information. Tap then Settings. On the Connections tab, tap Network. Tap your installed adapter (usually your Ethernet cards name) and enter any necessary information. Most networks use DHCP, so you should not have to change these settings unless your network administrator instructs you to do so. •If Network Connection isnt listed as a connection method in the ActiveSync dialog box when starting synchronization, wait a few minutes and try again. Also, if synchro- nization does not start right away, the network is probably busy, and it may take a minute for your iPAQ H3000 to connect to the network. • Make sure that the proper drivers for your card are installed on the iPAQ H3000. For more information, see the owner’s manual for the network card. • Verify with your network administrator that your user name and password are correct. • 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. Cable Connection Problems The following solutions may help if you encounter problems when connecting to your computer. Additional troubleshooting information is available in Connections Help on the iPAQ H3000 and ActiveSync Help on the computer. • Ensure the iPAQ H3000 is turned on. • If a modem or Ethernet card is inserted into your iPAQ H3000, remove it. • Ensure that you do not have any other active connections. Tap then To d a y. Tap or at the bottom of the screen, then Disconnect. • Ensure the cradle’s cable is securely plugged into the appropriate port on the back of your computer.

Tips and Troubleshootinga-11 Routine Maintenance This section provides recommended guidelines for taking care of your iPAQ H3000. Fol- lowing these guidelines helps ensure the longevity of your iPAQ and reduces the risk of damage. Routine Care To keep your iPAQ H3000 in good condition and working properly, follow these guide- lines: • Keep your iPAQ away from excessive moisture and temperature extremes. Do not expose your iPAQ to liquids or precipitation. • Do not place anything on top of your iPAQ to prevent damage to the screen. • Store your iPAQ in a protective case when not in use. • Clean your iPAQ by wiping the screen and the exterior with a soft, damp cloth moist- ened only with water. • Avoid exposing your iPAQ to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended periods of time. Also avoid scratching the surface of the screen and banging it against hard objects. • Only use the iPAQ stylus to prevent scratching the screen. Battery Guidelines Because of the type of battery used in your iPAQ H3000, follow local regulations regard- ing the safe disposal of your iPAQ H3000. Your Compaq vendor can advise you on local regulations, and/or the existence of any battery disposal programs in operation. The iPAQ H3000 should not be disposed of along with the general household waste. In order to forward them to recycling or dispose of them properly, please use the public col- lection system or return them to Compaq, your authorized Compaq partners, or their agents.To reduce the risk of electric shock or damage to the internal components, do not spray liquid directly on the screen or allow excess liquid to drip inside your iPAQ. Using soap or other cleaning products on the screen may discolor the finish and damage the screen. In North America, dispose of the iPAQ H3000 by taking advantage of the Compaq battery recycling program. You will be provided with a postage-paid battery pack mailer preaddressed to a reclamation facility where the metals are recycled.
a-12Tips and Troubleshooting Travel Guidelines For safety and convenience when traveling with your iPAQ H3000, follow these guide- lines: • Back up your data before you leave. • Take a backup copy of your data with you. • Disconnect all external equipment from your iPAQ. • Take the AC adapter and new batteries with you. • Hand-carry your iPAQ in a protective case. Do not check it with your luggage. • Be aware of potential effects of airport security devices on your iPAQ H3000. • Check with the airline if you plan to use your iPAQ on the plane. In-flight use of elec- tronic devices is at the discretion of the airline. International Travel Before traveling internationally with your iPAQ H3000, be sure to: • Check local customs regulations. • If using an external modem or CompactFlash/PCMCIA card modem, be sure to have the correct modem and cable for the country you are visiting. Telephone lines differ from country to country. Shipping Guidelines When shipping your iPAQ H3000, follow these guidelines: • Safeguard your data by making a backup copy. • If shipping the backup copy, be sure that the medium (diskette, tape, or CompactFlash card) is not exposed to electrical or magnetic impulses while stored or in transit. • Turn off your iPAQ and disconnect all external devices. • Pack your iPAQ and all external devices (such as the cradle, cords, and cables) in their original packing boxes or in similar packaging with sufficient packing material to pro- tect them.There are three types of airport security devices: X-ray machines, magnetic detec- tors (the device you walk through), and security magnetic wands. You can send your device through airport X-ray machines. However, Compaq recommends that you do not send your iPAQ through magnetic detectors or expose it to security magnetic wands.
Character Recognizerb-1 appendix b C HARACTER 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.
b-2Character Recognizer 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. Tap to select an input method or change options. Tap to show or hide the input panel. The letter you write is converted to typed text that appears on the screen.
