Using Wi-Fi (not available on all models)

Getting Acquainted with Wi-Fi

With wireless access, you do not need to use cables to connect your HP iPAQ to the Internet. Instead, access points transmit data to and from your wireless device. Your HP iPAQ can connect to an 802.11b WLAN or connect directly to other WLAN-enabled devices. With Wi-Fi, you can:

Access the Internet

Send and receive e-mail

Access corporate network information

Use virtual private networks (VPNs) for secure remote access

Use hotspots for wireless connectivity

Note: Use of dial-up and wireless Internet, e-mail, corporate networks, and other wireless communications, such as Bluetooth-enabled devices, may require separately purchased additional hardware and other compatible equipment, in addition to a standard Wi-Fi infrastructure and a separately purchased service contract. Check with your service provider for availability and coverage in your area. Not all web content may be available. Some web content may require installation of additional software.
