This document is intended to answer the most frequently asked

questions regarding the HP iPAQ hx2000 series Pocket PC. For

complete setup and installation instructions, refer to the printed

Getting Started document in the box or the User’s Guide located

on the Companion CD. For further support, visit

www.hp.com/support to chat with an HP support specialist.

How Do I Find Out What’s On My CD?

The Companion CD is located in the box and contains:

■Microsoft ActiveSync 3.7.1

■Microsoft Outlook 2002

■HP iPAQ hx2000 Series Pocket PC User’s Guide

■Know Your Options (Accessories Information)

■Important Safety Information

Note: All of the documents located on the Companion CD are in

printable format if you prefer a hard copy document.

All of the software and documents are designed to be installed on

your personal computer to enhance your ability to use your

HP iPAQ Pocket PC to its fullest potential. The CD also contains

Pocket PC enhancements that can be installed directly onto your

Pocket PC for use “on the go.”

Note: It is recommended that you save the original packaging for

the CD because the Microsoft product key for installing

Microsoft Outlook is located on the sticker on the CD packaging.

You will need that information if you ever need to reinstall

Outlook on your personal computer.

How Do I Install Microsoft ActiveSync?

Microsoft ActiveSync, located on the Companion CD, is the

software that allows your Pocket PC and your personal computer

to communicate with each other.

Before you connect your Pocket PC to your computer, insert the

Companion CD into your computer and let the HP iPAQ Setup

Wizard guide you step-by-step in setting up your Pocket PC and

computer.

Note: If the HP iPAQ Setup Wizard detects an earlier version

of ActiveSync or Outlook on your computer, it prompts you to

install the most recent version from the Companion CD. It is

recommended that you do so; however, be sure to back up your

files before installation begins.

To run the HP iPAQ Setup Wizard and install Microsoft

ActiveSync:

1. Before you connect your Pocket PC to your computer with

the synchronization cable, insert the Companion CD that

came with your Pocket PC into the CD-ROM drive on your

computer. The HP iPAQ Setup Wizard starts automatically.

2. Select Setup Wizard.

3. Read the Welcome page, make sure your Pocket PC is not yet

connected to your computer, and select Next.

4. The Setup Wizard scans your system and recommends

programs for you to load. If the Setup Wizard detects an

earlier version of Microsoft Outlook installed on your

personal computer, it suggests installing Outlook 2002. If you

want to synchronize your calendar, contacts, inbox, notes,

and/or tasks, it is recommended that you allow the Setup

Wizard to install Outlook 2002. Earlier versions (such as

Microsoft Outlook Express) will not work with ActiveSync

and the Pocket PC.

5. Likewise, the Setup Wizard scans your system to detect

earlier versions of Windows Media Player and HP Image

Zone. It is recommended that you allow the Wizard to install

these programs in order to take advantage of all functions on

your Pocket PC.

6. When the Set Up Microsoft ActiveSync window displays,

click Next.

7. When the Select Installation Folder for Microsoft

ActiveSync window displays, accept the default location

offered, or select Change... to specify a different location.

8. When the File Download window displays, click Open.

You will know ActiveSync installed successfully when you see

the Set Up a Partnership screen. Proceed to the next section,

“How Do I Create an ActiveSync Partnership?”

Note: If you are having trouble installing ActiveSync and have

firewall software installed, try disabling the firewall software

during ActiveSync installation and enabling it again after

installation is complete. If you are connected to a corporate

firewall, contact your IT Administrator for assistance.

How Do I Create an ActiveSync

Partnership?

A Microsoft ActiveSync partnership allows your HP iPAQ Pocket

PC and your personal computer to communicate with each other.

To synchronize your Pocket PC and your personal computer, you

must first create a partnership using ActiveSync. You only need

to create a partnership once.

These instructions give information on creating a basic

partnership. Other partnership options are available, and

instructions can be found in Chapter 2, “Synchronizing with Your

Computer,” of the User’s Guide located on the Companion CD.

To create an ActiveSync partnership between your Pocket PC and

your personal computer:

1. When the Get Connected screen is displayed during

ActiveSync installation, connect the HP Desktop Cradle to

your personal computer by attaching the free end of either the

USB cable or the serial cable to either the USB port or the

serial port on your personal computer. Then connect one end

of the AC Adapter to the cradle and the other end to an

electrical outlet.

2. Turn on your Pocket PC by pressing the Power button, then

insert it into the desktop cradle.

3. When the Set Up a Partnership screen displays, select

Standard Partnership and click Next.

4. When the New Partnership screen displays, select

Synchronize with this desktop computer, then click Next.
