HP 612 manual Advanced settings, Troubleshoot automatic detection, Connect to intranet URLs

Troubleshoot automatic detection

If the automatic detection setting fails, complete one or more of the following items:

●Check to see if the SIM card is present in the HP iPAQ. If it is not present, insert the SIM card and relaunch the application.

●Ensure that the metal contacts on your SIM card and your SIM slot are not covered with a residue or dust that would inhibit a connection.

●In the HP iPAQ DataConnect application, select the appropriate country and operator name, and then tap ok. The settings automatically update.

●In the HP iPAQ DataConnect application, if your operator name does not appear in the drop-down list, you must manually add it to the list by tapping the down arrow in the Operator box and tapping Create New.
