Checking Your Connection
and Signal Strength
After you insert the activated SIM card into your HP iPAQ, your
unit will connect to your service provider’s network.
The powered on icon ( ) indicates that you are connected to
your service provider’s network. After that, a full strength is
indicated by the signal strength icon ( ). The number of
vertical bars in the icon diminish as the signal strength
diminishes. The phone icon ( ) indicates no signal.
Automatic Frequency Band Selection
Your HP iPAQ has an integrated GSM/GPRS/EDGE feature that
supports four different frequency bands which allow for
international roaming. When traveling between countries and
wireless network operators, the automatic selection feature
changes the frequency bands of the GSM/GPRS/EDGE
connection settings. It does this by initiating an automatic search
for network frequency bands when your home bands are not
available. This automatic selection feature is the default setting
on your HP iPAQ.
Turning the Phone On and Off
You can turn your Phone on and off while keeping your HP iPAQ
turned on.
There are several ways to turn on your Phone:
■ From the Today screen, tap the iPAQ Wireless icon in the
Command bar at the bottom of the screen, then tap the Phone
button on the iPAQ Wireless screen.
■ From the Today screen, use the numeric keypad on the
Thumb Keyboard to enter a phone number. After the first or
second number is entered, the phone keypad displays. Tap
Yes when asked if you want to turn the phone on.
