Using Channels
Using ChannelsUsing Channels Using Channels
A channel (or mobile channel) is a Web site or other Web-
formatted content that is available for offline viewing on your
P/PC. Channels allows Internet, intranet, or other Web-
formatted content to be automatically downloaded to your P/PC
from your desktop computer via synchronization. For more
information on synchronizing channels, see ActiveSync Help on
the desktop computer and see the Synchronizing data section
in chapter 6.
Content can be updated on a regular basis, such as updates from
a news channel, or on a one-time basis, such as movie listings
from an entertainment channel.
Channels and automatic updates to them are managed on the
desktop computer by Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher. Use
Internet Explorer on your desktop computer to view channels
offline.
Requirement for mobile channels support
•Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or higher
Internet Explorer 5.0 is included on the Desktop Software for
Microsoft Windows CE compact disk.  Internet Explorer 5.0 
						

							56 Hewlett-Packard Jornada 430/430se Palm-size PC
requires 56 to 98 MB of hard disk space and a 486/66 or higher
processor.  Service Pack 3 or higher is required for Windows NT
systems (also included on the CD).
Getting started with channels
A special Web site has been set up to help you get started using
channels. For information on getting started with channels on
your P/PC, go to:
www.microsoft.com/windowsce/Products/download/chan-start.asp.
If the Web site is down, you can follow these steps:
To make the current Web page available offline
1. In Internet Explorer 5.0, click the Favorites menu, and
then click Add to Favorites.
2. Select the Make available offline check box.
3. To specify a schedule for updating that page, and how
much content to download, click Customize.
4. Follow the instructions on your screen.
The channel is added to the Internet Explorer Channel
Bar, and the channel information is downloaded to your
desktop or laptop computer. Once the channel
information has been downloaded, you need to transfer
the information to your P/PC.
In Internet Explorer 4.0, offline viewing is called
“subscribing.”
Personalizing channels on the P/PC
Some channels are divided into content areas, and you can
choose which you want to download. You can also specify the
amount of information transferred to your P/PC, and you can
remove channels.
To choose which content areas you want to
download to your P/PC
1. Double-tap the Channel icon to switch to Channels, or
tap Start, then Channels.

Installing and configuring a modem
The HP Jornada 430/430se supports CompactFlash Card
modems. The CF Card modem fits into the CF slot. For
information on installing CF Cards, see the Inserting and
Removing CompactFlash Cards section in chapter 10. For a
list of compatible CF card modems, go to www.hp.com/jornada.
Getting an account with an Internet service provider
To send and receive e-mail, you need to contact an ISP to set up a
PPP account. SLIP accounts are offered by some ISPs instead of
PPP accounts. The HP Jornada supports the use of SLIP as well
as PPP.
Your ISP gives you the configuration information you need to
connect the HP Jornada to e-mail service.
Setting up to send and receive messages
To set up to send and receive messages, you:
•set up a dial-up connection to your ISP
•set up Inbox

The mail that you receive using a dial-up connection appears in
the Inbox folder on your P/PC, together with the mail you
synchronize with your desktop computer. Messages that you
receive remotely are linked to your mail server rather than your
desktop computer.
Working online
You can work online, which means that you read and respond to
messages while connected to the server. Messages are sent as
soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your P/PC.
Working offline
You can also work offline. Once you have downloaded new
message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from
the server and then decide which messages to download
completely.
The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete
messages you have marked for retrieval and sends the messages
you have composed (see Receiving messages for details).
Receiving messages
When you receive a message, double-tap it to open it.
