Why do I hear noises in the background during a phone call?

You might hear noises in the background if you use your iPAQ near electronic equipment, such as microwave oven, speakers, or a television set. Avoid using your iPAQ near such items to prevent an adverse effect on the voice quality.

If you are using a Bluetooth headset, ensure that you remain close enough to the phone. As you move the headset farther from the phone, audio quality will degrade, and you may hear background noise.

Ensure you have good network reception. If your device shows only one or two bars of coverage, then you are more likely to experience frequent disconnects. If you are indoors, try moving closer to the exterior of the building since some concrete buildings can significantly reduce cellular signal strength. If you work around a lot of electronic equipment, try moving away from it, especially if that equipment also produces radio signals.

Which factors degrade the GPS signal and affect accuracy?

You are indoors, underwater, or underground.

You are surrounded by tall buildings or cliffs.

You are inside a car with thermally shielded glass.

Synchronization

I cannot synchronize my iPAQ with my computer. What should I do?

Ensure you have downloaded and installed the latest synchronization software for your PC. Windows Vista users should download Windows Mobile Device Center and Windows XP users should download ActiveSync. Visit http://www.windowsmobile.com/getstarted to download the latest synchronization software for your PC.

Ensure your PC is set up to allow USB connections. If you are using ActiveSync, open ActiveSync on your PC, and then click File > Connection Settings and ensure the Allow USB Connections check box is selected. If you are using Windows Mobile Device Center, open Windows Mobile Device Center on your PC, move the mouse pointer over Mobile Device Settings, and then click Connection Settings. Ensure the Allow USB Connections check box is selected.

My iPAQ was connected while I was installing Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC). Why does WMDC not launch even after installation?

In some cases after an upgrade, you need to disconnect and reconnect the iPAQ before WMDC can start.

Can I set up an active connection between my iPAQ and a computer using Bluetooth for the first time?

No, the initial connection between your iPAQ and the computer needs to be created only through a USB sync cable using ActiveSync for Windows XP and WMDC for Windows Vista. After this initial connection, you will be able to set up Bluetooth for future connections.
