Page 26

●On your personal computer, in ActiveSync, select File > Connection Settings. Confirm that USB is selected as a connection method.

●Connect your HP iPAQ to a different USB port on your personal computer.

●Check your mini-USB synchronization cable. Consider using another mini-USB synchronization cable if one is available.

●Try synchronizing via a Bluetooth connection.

●Restart your personal computer and perform a soft reset on your HP iPAQ. (A soft reset does not erase any settings, programs or data.) Use the stylus to lightly press the Reset button. Your HP iPAQ restarts and displays the HP QuickStart Tour. Once your personal computer and HP iPAQ restart, reconnect your HP iPAQ to your personal computer.

●Uninstall ActiveSync from your personal computer and then reinstall it. To uninstall ActiveSync from your personal computer, click Start > Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs > Microsoft ActiveSync. Then click the Remove button and click Yes.

●After trying the above solutions without any success in solving the connection problem, perform a factory reset on your HP iPAQ. (A factory reset clears all user-installed settings, programs, and data and restores your HP iPAQ to factory settings.)

Reinstall applications on your HP iPAQ once the factory reset is complete by using ActiveSync on your personal computer. Once your HP iPAQ is synchronized properly, go to ActiveSync on your personal computer and select Tools > Add/Remove Programs and select any programs to reinstall.
