NOTE: All of the documents located on the Companion CD are in
printable format if you prefer a hardcopy document.
All of the software and documents are designed to be installed on your
personal computer to enhance your ability to use your HP iPAQ to its fullest
potential. The CD also contains software and drivers that can be installed
directly onto your HP iPAQ for use on the go.
NOTE: Save the original packaging for the CD because the Microsoft
product key for installing Microsoft Outlook is located on the sticker on
the CD packaging. You need that information if you ever need to reinstall
Outlook on your personal computer.
How Do I Install Microsoft ActiveSync?
Microsoft ActiveSync, located on the Companion CD, is the software that
allows your HP iPAQ and personal computer to communicate with
each other.
Before you connect your HP iPAQ to your computer, insert the Companion
CD into your computer and let the HP iPAQ Setup Wizard guide you
step-by-step in setting up your HP iPAQ and computer.
NOTE: If the HP iPAQ Setup Wizard detects an earlier version of
ActiveSync or Outlook on your computer, it prompts you to install the most
recent version from the Companion CD. It is recommended that you do
so; however, be sure to back up your files before you begin
the installation.
