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.
