6 Use your HP iPAQ

You can use your HP iPAQ to make and answer calls. You can also make conference calls and dial international numbers. In addition, you can make data calls, forward calls, and check or modify the network and channel settings.

Check connection and signal strength

When you slide your SIM card into your HP iPAQ and turn it on, your unit automatically connects to your service provider's network. The (Signal strength) icon indicates that you are connected. More vertical bars indicate a better connection.
