A map file and a corresponding Pushpin file are created for your iPAQ H3000. 6. Copy the maps (.mps) and/or Pushpin files (.psp) that you've created for use with Pocket Streets to the My Documents folder on your iPAQ H3000. For more information on using ActiveSync to copy files, see ActiveSync Help on the computer.
chapter 6 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.
Mobile Favorites If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 on your computer, you can download mobile favorites. (You can install Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 from the Extras folder on the ActiveSync CD.) Synchronizing mobile favorites downloads Web content to your iPAQ H3000 so that you can view Web pages while you are disconnected from your ISP and computer. Use the Internet Explorer 5 plug-in installed with ActiveSync to create mobile favorites quickly. To create a mobile favorite: 1.
Channels Channels are websites designed specifically for offline viewing on your iPAQ H3000. You can subscribe to two types of channels at no fee: AvantGo Channels and mobile channels. Using AvantGo Channels AvantGo is a free interactive service that gives you access to personalized content and thousands of popular websites. Unlike mobile channels, you can subscribe to AvantGo channels directly from your iPAQ H3000.
Using Mobile Channels Mobile channels are sites you subscribe to on your computer. They are stored in the Channels subfolder in the Mobile Favorites folder in Internet Explorer 4.0 or later and are downloaded to your iPAQ H3000 during synchronization. To see a list of mobile channels you can subscribe to at no fee, visit the Windows CE Mobile Channel List Web page (http://www.microsoft.com/windowsce/channels).
To view mobile favorites and channels: 1. Tap the Favorites button to display your list of favorites. Tap the favorite you want to view. Tap to add or delete a favorite link. 2. Tap the mobile favorite or channel you want to view. You’ll see the page that was downloaded the last time you synchronized with your computer. If the page is not on your iPAQ H3000, the favorite will be dimmed.
4. Go to a specific Web page in either of these ways once connected: • Tap the Favorites button then tap the favorite you want to view. • Tap View then Address Bar. In the address bar that appears at the top of the screen, enter the Web address you want to visit then tap Go. Tap the arrow to choose from previously entered addresses. 5. Tap Tools then Disconnect to end the connection.
chapter 7 GETTING CONNECTED You can use your iPAQ H3000 to exchange information with other Windows-powered devices as well as your computer, a network, or the Internet. Use the Infrared (IR) port on your iPAQ H3000 to send and receive files between two devices. In addition to using a cradle, cable, or IR port to connect your iPAQ H3000 to your computer (as described in Chapter 3), you can connect to your computer while away from the office by using a remote connection.
Transfer Items Using Infrared Using the IR port on your iPAQ H3000, you can send and receive information, such as contacts and appointments, with another Windows-powered device at speeds of up to 115.2Kbps. To send information: 1. Switch to the program where you created the item you want to send and locate the item in the list. If you want to send more than one item, drag the stylus across the items you want to send. 2.
Connect to an ISP You can connect to your ISP by creating a modem connection. Once connected, you can send and receive e-mail messages and view Web pages. To create a modem connection to an ISP: 1. Get the following information from your ISP: ISP dial-up access telephone number, user name, password, and TCP/IP settings. Some ISPs require information in front of the user name, such as MSN/username. 2.
6. Select your modem type in the Select a modem list. If your modem type does not appear, try re-inserting the modem card. NOTE: You should not need to change any settings in Advanced. Most ISPs now use a serverassigned address. If the ISP you are connecting to does not use a server-assigned address, tap Advanced then the TCP/IP tab and enter the address. When finished, tap OK then Next. 7. Enter the access phone number, and tap Next. 8. Select other desired options, and tap Finish. 9.
To create a modem connection to a network: 1. Get the following information from your network administrator: dial-up access telephone number, user name, password, domain name, and TCP/IP settings. 2. Install a CompactFlash modem card using the optional iPAQ CF Card Expansion Pack or a PCMCIA modem card using the optional iPAQ PC Card Expansion Pack.
To create an Ethernet connection to a network: You do not need to create a new connection on your iPAQ H3000. Instead, you must purchase and configure an Ethernet card that is compatible with your iPAQ H3000. 1. Get the following information from your network administrator: user name, password, and domain name. 2. Install the optional CompactFlash or PCMCIA Ethernet card into your optional CF Card or PC Card Expansion Pack.
End a Connection If you started the connection from a program, such as Inbox or Pocket Internet Explorer, disconnect from that program first. Then, tap then Today. Tap or at the bottom of the screen then Disconnect. To end a network connection, remove the card from your iPAQ H3000. Connect Directly to an E-mail Server You can set up a connection to an e-mail server so that you can send and receive e-mail messages by using a modem or network connection and Inbox on your iPAQ H3000.
2. Select POP3 or IMAP4 as the service type, name the service, and tap Next. For information on which service type to select, ask your ISP or network administrator. 3. Select a connection from the Connection list. If you have not created a connection, select Create new connection and follow the steps in the wizard. When you return to this screen at the end of the wizard, select the connection you created from the Connection list. A wizard will walk you through the remaining steps.

appendix b 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 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 numbers, symbols, special characters, and punctuation. Tap to select an input method or change options. The letter you write is converted to typed text that appears on the screen.
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.
