Wireless synchronization cost saving tips

How you manage the cost of wireless synchronization from your HP iPAQ depends on your priorities.

To

Do this

 

 

Reduce network connection or data transfer costs

Increase the time between scheduled synchronizations or

 

synchronize manually. Check the details of your rate plan.

 

 

Extend battery life

Schedule synchronization less frequently or synchronize

 

manually.

 

 

Keep your information up to date

During periods of high mail volume, schedule synchronization

 

at regular but frequent intervals. During periods of low mail

 

volume, schedule synchronization as items arrive.

 

 

NOTE: The device power-down timer is reset each time you synchronize. If you schedule a synchronization interval that is smaller than the time interval set for the device to automatically power down, the device never turns off to save battery power.

Troubleshoot synchronization issues

Following is a list of symptoms that might indicate synchronization issues:

●No ActiveSync tone plays (or a gray icon displays), and there is no activity in the Microsoft ActiveSync window on your computer.

●ActiveSync tone plays, and the ActiveSync icon on your computer changes to a swirling green icon. The Retrieving settings message displays on your computer, but the ActiveSync connection drops prior to establishing the partnership.
