    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.

    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 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.

    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.
