We have the NEWEST iPAQ H3650 Model
Manufactured 2001

You first need to move the battery switch to the "on" position. Also see the documentation for details. Additionally, after moving the battery switch to the "on" position, you should charge the battery.

The device is shipped from the factory with a partial charge. By the time it arrives to you, the battery may have further discharged, such that the charge on the battery could now be low. You should plug in your device and allow it to accumulate a full charge while you complete the initial setup procedure.

There are many reasons that a USB connection might not function properly. Check the following:

In order to conserve memory space, the default recording method is GSM 8kHz mono (2KB/s). You can select a better recording format, but it will consume more memory each time a voice recording is made. In order to see a list of options and to change your voice recording format, do the following:

However, if you try to make a voice note in either the Calendar or Tasks application using a higher quality recording format, you may receive the following error message: "There isn't enough space for this embedded voice note. Either embedded recordings are not allowed here, or else the CODEC in use (such as PCM) does not provide enough compression. Try using a more compressed recording format (such as Mobile Voice)."

The stylus utilizes a spring mechanism to pop it out of the top of the device. There is a small silver button on the top of the device, between the infrared lens and the stylus. Push down on this button to pop the stylus out of the device. To return the stylus to its holding position, simply push the stylus back into the stylus hole. Note that the stylus does have an orientation, such that there is only one way the stylus can be pushed back into the device. Do not force the stylus in the other direction, as excessive force with the stylus in the wrong direction may cause the stylus to become stuck.

There is a small hole near the right bottom edge of the device. Insert the tip of the stylus into the hole to reset your device. Any unsaved data in open programs (such as an email that you were in the process of writing/editing) will be lost. No saved data will be lost as a result of this reset.

Yes, both the right and down directions on the joystick move the date to the next day. Likewise, both the left and up directions move the date to the previous day.

In order to restore the buttons to their original mappings after having remapped them within Media Player, you need to do the following actions:

Yes. There are several settings which can change to improve battery life.

All of these applets allow you to change certain settings which can get you more or less battery life, depending on their settings. Consult your user documentation for more information.

This connector has been designed to be used with no protection necessary. However, you should not try to probe this connector with foreign objects, such as a pen, the stylus, coins, etc.

No. The device is completely functional without either an Expansion Pack or a Style Pack. Expansion Packs simply add additional functionality to your system (for instance, a PCMCIA Expansion Pack allows you to operate certain PCMCIA cards with your device). A Style Pack is a cosmetic enhancement for your device.

The easiest way is to use the slipcase provided with your device. There are also various Style Packs available which further enhance the protection of your device, such as the Leather Style Pack and the Sports Style Pack.

Battery longevity depends on many factors, such as amount and type of usage. For instance, constant use of the backlight on a Bright or Super Bright setting will consume more battery power. Also, playing of audio files through the external speaker (the headphone jack consumes less power then the speaker). You can change various settings on your device to improve battery life, depending on your usage model.

This depends on how much charge your battery currently has, and can therefore range from several minutes up to several hours. Max recharge time of 3 hours when fully discharged,with a PC card jacket and without a PC card jacket.

Peacemaker enables Pocket PC users to beam information to and from a wide range of PDA devices. Peacemaker is a cross-platform Infrared transfer utility for Pocket PC. For more information go to http://www.conduits.com/ce/peacemaker.

To change the default applications which are launched by each of the five application buttons, go to "Start", "Settings", "Buttons". In this applet, you can change which applications are launched by each of the buttons.

Yes. Using the QMenu application (initially tied to the application button with the "Q" on it), select "Expansion Pack", and then check the box which says "Disable Insertion Sound".

The battery is not replaceable. Currently there is a separate battery within the PC card jacket , which can provide a trickle charge to the main unit, however there may be a separate expansion battery pack at a later date, but there is not one currently.

You will have between 24 and 36 hours of data retention time. You should recharge your battery as soon as possible after receiving the low battery warning to prevent data loss.

No. You cannot increase the size of internal memory from the standard 32mb. However, you can add additional storage memory using a CompactFlash or PC Card Expansion Pack with an appropriate memory card.

Yes. Because the ROM in the iPAQ H3650 series is flash able, you will be able to perform upgrades or enhancements as they become available.

The default mode for the character recognizer utilizes a "double-stroke" mode for characters like "T". In this case, if you draw the vertical line first, and then do the horizontal top line, there will be a faint image of the vertical line remaining while the horizontal line is drawn. If you wish to disable this mode and utilize a single-stroke mode, go to "Start", "Settings", "Input", and tap on "Options" and then select the check box which says "Single Stroke".

These applications have a limitation on the amount of memory which can be used to store a note. Some higher quality recording formats use too much memory for these application notes. Select a lower quality recording format in order to not get this error message.

In the event that you want to completely erase the backup Contact information stored in the flash memory (for instance, if you want to give your iPAQ PocketPC to another person and don't want that person to have any of your contact information), do the following:
The following will Erase all Contact Information from Flash Memory; the Contact Information remaining in Main Memory will be available until the next full reset.

You can connect to the Internet by connecting to an ISP. You can connect to your ISP by creating a modem connection. Once connected, you can send and receive e-mail messages and view Web pages.

When I plug in my Serial cable to my iPAQ Pocket PC, I am unable to connect via ActiveSync. The unit makes the attempt, but never connects?

Ensure the Pocket PC setting is configured for Serial connection (vs USB). If an Ethernet card is plugged into your mobile device, remove the Ethernet card. Ensure the serial cable is securely plugged into the COM port on the back of your desktop computer. Plug the other end of the serial cable securely into the correct port on your device.

It turns out these settings are not in your device or ActiveSync settings, but it's in the user profile on the AvantGo Web site.

ActiveSync will still check every time you sync your device, but it will not take as long.

* Actual results may vary with individual usage.
