Using Security Features

The widespread use of Pocket PCs has significantly increased employee productivity. However, non-secured or inadequately secured Pocket PCs are creating network security issues for the corporate workplace when they connect to a secure network.

Valuable information is bypassing network security and being stored on inadequately secured Pocket PCs. The HP ProtectTools security features provide on-device security protection so there is less risk of losing sensitive information on your Pocket PC.

Using HP ProtectTools

HP ProtectTools helps protect your Pocket PC by providing authentication and encryption of email, calendar, contacts, notes, tasks, and/or all files stored in the My Documents folder. It can also be used to encrypt data stored on expansion cards.

When you enable HP ProtectTools, you have the option of enrolling a fingerprint or entering a PIN and/or password to access the Pocket PC. If you are unable to successfully swipe your fingerprint or you forget your PIN or password, you can access the device with a backup question and answer.

ÄCAUTION: HP ProtectTools helps protect your Pocket PC and the data stored on it. If you are unable to access your device with any of the above methods, there is no way to unlock your device. You have to restore your device to factory settings, resulting in the loss of all data on your iPAQ Pocket PC, including data stored in iPAQ File Store. It is recommended that you remember your PIN/password and question/answer.
