Setting Up Your HP iPAQ
First follow the instructions in the printed Getting started guide
until you complete creating a partnership with your personal
computer. This includes installing the Subscriber Identity Module (SIM)
and battery, synchronizing your HP iPAQ with your personal computer,
and establishing a partnership.
IMPORTANT: If you have completed the steps in the Getting started
guide, you may proceed to the next section, “Setting Up Internet Access

Setting Up Internet Access on Your HP iPAQ

Using HP iPAQ Quick GPS Connection Utility
Quick GPS Connection is a software application residing on the HP iPAQ
that enables a faster connection time for the GPS radio to locate and lock
onto overhead GPS satellites. To improve connection performance, you
need to enable the HP iPAQ Quick GPS Connection Data Utility and
download the latest data file. Even though the GPS radio on your
HP iPAQ is able to connect to the GPS satellites without enabling the
Quick GPS Connection Utility, it may take a few minutes longer and even
up to five minutes to locate the satellites if you do not use this utility.
Due to GPS satellites constantly moving through the sky, it is
recommended that you download updated satellite locations to your
HP iPAQ every two to three days. To download updated satellite
locations, tap in the Command bar > Download Now.
The default settings on the HP iPAQ Quick GPS Connection Utility are set
where the device cannot receive automatic updates unless you enable
the update feature.
To change the default settings:

From the Start menu, tap Settings > Connections > Quick
GPS Connection icon.
