You can also use the infrared port on your HP Jornada to connect to the 
Internet or a remote computer via an IrDA-compatible infrared modem. When 
you create a new dial-up connection, select 
Generic IrDA modem from the 
modem list. Connect the modem to a phone line according to the manu-
facturer’s instructions, and align the infrared port on your HP Jornada with the 
infrared port on the modem before dialing the call.

If your mobile phone service supports remote data connection, you can use 
the mobile phone to connect your HP Jornada to the Internet or to a remote 
computer. Depending on the make and model of your mobile phone, you can 
connect your Pocket PC to the mobile phone using either a CompactFlash 
card interface or the infrared port.

.

You may be able to obtain a Type I CompactFlash connectivity kit from the 
manufacturer of your phone, or from a third-party manufacturer. In either case, 
the kit must be designed to work with the specific model of your phone, and 
the manufacturer must provide a driver for use with the HP Jornada Pocket 
PC.  
After you have installed and configured the card, the make and model of the 
card will appear in the list of modems or the list of network adapters when you 
create a new connection (see “Creating an ISP or network connection” later in 
this chapter). 

If your mobile phone has a built-in IrDA-compatible infrared port (or if an 
optional infrared connectivity kit is available for your phone), you can use the 
infrared port on your HP Jornada to connect to it. When you create a new dial-
up connection, select 
Generic IrDA modem from the modem list. Align the 
infrared port on your HP Jornada with the infrared port on the mobile phone 
before dialing the call. For detailed instructions on how to establish a wireless 
connection using a mobile phone, check the HP Jornada Web site at 
www.hp.com/jornada/solutions/hardware/wireless_solutions

To connect to a network or the Internet, you need an account with an ISP, an 
account on your corporate network, or access permission to dial in to a 
specific computer. 
For each account, you will need a user name and password provided by the 
ISP or account administrator. If you are connecting to a commercial ISP, you 
will also need to know the dialup telephone number and IP and DNS 
addresses (if required). 
If you plan to use the account to send or receive e-mail messages directly 
from your HP Jornada, you must also obtain the following information from 
your ISP or account administrator: 
• a user name and password for your e-mail account (these may be 
different than the user name and password you use to connect) 
• the name of the POP3 or IMAP4 server (for incoming messages) 
• the name of the SMTP server (for outgoing messages)

Before you can use a modem to connect to an ISP or to dial in to a specific 
desktop PC, you must create a connection for that service on your HP 
Jornada. If you use an NIC to connect to a corporate network, you must 
configure your network connection. Your HP Jornada will recognize the 
connection once you attach the network cable to the NIC.

Mobile channels are sites you subscribe to on your desktop PC. They are 
stored in the Channels subfolder in the Mobile Favorites folder of your 
Microsoft Internet Explorer folder and are downloaded to your HP Jornada 
during synchronization. To see a list of mobile channels you can subscribe to 
at no fee, visit the Windows for Pocket PC Web page at www.pocketpc.com
.  
While a channel Web page is displayed, click the Add Mobile Channel button, 
and then select 
Make available offline to download the channel to your 
desktop PC. The mobile channel will be transferred to your device the next 
time you synchronize.  



1. Tap  to display your list of favorites.  
2.  Tap the channel you want to view.  
 
Internet Explorer displays the page that was downloaded the last time you 
synchronized with your desktop PC. If the page is not stored on your HP 
Jornada, the favorite will be dimmed, and you must synchronize with your 
desktop PC or connect to the Internet before you can view the page. 
(1

When you install ActiveSync, a subfolder called Mobile Favorites is created in 
the Favorites folder on your desktop PC. You can synchronize the favorites in 
this subfolder with the favorites on your HP Jornada. Unless you mark the 
favorite link as a mobile favorite, only the link will be downloaded to your 
device, and you will need to connect to your ISP or network to view the 
content.  
If you use Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 on your desktop PC, you can mark a 
link as a mobile favorite, and then download your mobile favorites to your HP 
Jornada. This enables you to view Web pages while you are disconnected 
from your ISP and desktop PC. Use the Internet Explorer 5 plug-in installed 
with ActiveSync to create mobile favorites quickly. 



1.  In Internet Explorer 5 on your desktop PC, click 
Tools and then 
Create Mobile Favorite. 
2.  To change the link name, type a new name in the 
Name box.  
3.  If you want to update the page on a regular basis, select an update 
schedule from the 
Update list.

4. Click 
OK. Internet Explorer downloads the latest version of the Web 
page to your desktop PC. 
5.  If you want to download the pages that are linked to the mobile 
favorite you just created, in Internet Explorer on the desktop PC, 
right-click the mobile favorite and then click 
Properties. On the 
Download tab, specify the level of links you want to download.  
6.  Synchronize your device and desktop PC. Mobile favorites that are 
stored in the Mobile Favorites folder in Internet Explorer 5 are 
downloaded to your device.

the information on your HP Jornada. Before you synchronize, in Internet 
Explorer on your desktop PC, click 
Tools and then 
Synchronize. Check the 
last time content was downloaded, and manually download content if needed.  
 
 You can add a button to the Internet Explorer toolbar for creating mobile 
favorites. In Internet Explorer 5 on your desktop PC, click 
View, 
Toolbars, and
then 
Customize.  
 



1. Tap  to display your list of favorites.  
2.  Tap the mobile favorite you want to view.  
You will see the page that was downloaded the last time you 
synchronized with your desktop PC. If the page is not on your device,

Mobile favorites 

Mobile favorites can use a lot of storage memory on your HP Jornada. Follow 
these tips to minimize the amount of memory used: 
• Turn off pictures and sounds or stop some mobile favorites from being 
downloaded to your HP Jornada. In ActiveSync on your desktop PC, click 
Options on the 
Tools menu, select the Favorites information type, and 
then click 
Settings. For more information, see ActiveSync Help. 
• Limit the number of downloaded linked pages. In Internet Explorer on the 
desktop PC, right-click the mobile favorite you want to change, and then 
click 
Properties. On the 
Download tab, specify 0 or 1 for the number of 
linked pages you want to download.

Your HP Jornada includes Inbox, a full-featured e-mail program that is part of 
Microsoft Pocket Outlook. You can use Inbox to send and receive e-mail 
messages either by synchronizing messages with Microsoft Exchange or 
Microsoft Outlook on your desktop PC, or by connecting directly to an e-mail 
server through an ISP or a network.

You can send and receive messages on your HP Jornada via the e-mail 
service on your desktop PC by synchronizing your Inbox. When you enable 
Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync options, messages are transferred from 
the Inbox and Outbox on your HP Jornada to the corresponding folders on 
your desktop PC each time you synchronize.  


0 
1.  In ActiveSync on your desktop PC, click 
Options on the 
Tools menu, 
and then select the Inbox information type. 
 
When you synchronize 
• E-mail messages in the Inbox folder of desktop versions of Microsoft 
Exchange or Outlook are copied to the Inbox folder on your HP Jornada. 
The e-mail messages on the two computers are linked, so when you 
delete an e-mail message on your HP Jornada, it will be deleted from your 
desktop PC the next time you synchronize. 
• E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to 
the Outbox in Microsoft Exchange or Outlook on your desktop PC. The 
messages are sent the next time you send mail from your desktop PC. 
 
 You can only synchronize e-mail messages with a single desktop PC. If you 
have established partnerships between your HP Jornada and two desktop 
PCs, you can synchronize your Inbox with only one of them.

If you have an e-mail account with an ISP or on a corporate network, you can 
connect to the e-mail server for that account with a modem or network card, 
and then use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages directly. 
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the 
Inbox folder on your HP Jornada, messages in your Outbox folder are sent, 
and messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are deleted from 
the Inbox folder. 
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server (rather than from 
your desktop PC) remain linked to the e-mail server. If you delete a message 
on your HP Jornada, the message will be deleted from the e-mail server the 
next time you connect.
