    This page describes how to install the FaceToFace application onto your iPAQ. However, before this can occur, you must first verify and configure specific Bluetooth settings on your iPAQ. The remainder of this page describes how to install and configure the FaceToFace application onto your iPAQ using Microsoft ActiveSync.

    Before you Begin

    The following is required to install and operate FaceToFace.

    Checking the Bluetooth Settings on the iPAQ

    The HP 2110 series, 2200 series, and later iPAQs have built-in Bluetooth technology and do not require setup of a Bluetooth CompactFlash� (CF) card. However, before using your iPAQ, you must verify that Bluetooth is turned on and, if necessary, provide a Bluetooth device ID name for the iPAQ. Do the following to check the iPAQ�s Bluetooth configuration.

    1. Power on the iPAQ, and choose the Bluetooth icon, which appears at the bottom of the iPAQ�s Today screen. The Bluetooth main menu items appear.


    2. Choose Bluetooth Settings from the Bluetooth main menu. The General page appears; make sure that Bluetooth is turned on.


    3. Switch to the Accessibility page, and verify that the iPAQ has a Device Identification Name, for example, "Joe�s iPAQ." Note: The default name is "iPAQ." This name entered in this edit box will later be used to identify the iPAQ as a Bluetooth device.


    4. Make sure that the following items are selected in the Accessibility section of this page:

    5. Next, open the Serial Port page. Make sure that Enable service is checked.

    6. Select OK to save these settings.

    Installing FaceToFace on the iPAQ using ActiveSync

    The following describes how to download the FaceToFace application from your computer to your iPAQ.

    1. From your computer, make a Standard or Guest ActiveSync partnership with the iPAQ.
    2. Insert the FaceToFace CD into your computer�s CD-ROM drive.

    3. From the Windows Start menu, select the Run command and enter D:\FaceToFaceSetupABC.EXE, where D is the letter of your CD-ROM drive, and ABC is the FaceToFace release and version number, to start the FaceToFace software installation.

    4. The FaceToFace Pocket PC installation dialog appears. Select the Next button.

    5. The License Agreement dialog appears. Select the "I accept the terms in the license agreement" radio button, and choose the Finish button.

    6. Choose Yes to install the FaceToFace application into the default directory.

    7. Once the application is downloaded to your computer, select OK to continue the installation process on the iPAQ. The FaceToFace software is downloaded to the iPAQ.

    8. The software is now available on the iPAQ. From the Start menu, select Programs and choose FaceToFace.

    To continue setting up the FaceToFace application, go to the �Starting FaceToFace for the First Time on the iPAQ� section for more information.

    Starting FaceToFace for the First Time on the iPAQ

    When you start FaceToFace for the first time on the iPAQ, you must do the following:

    The following describes how to complete these tasks.

    1. To start FaceToFace on the iPAQ for the first time, open the Start menu, select Programs and choose FaceToFace.
    2. When you start FaceToFace for the first time, you must enter an authorization number for the application, which you previously received in an email when you requested an Authorization number from the PMActivate.com site. The number is case-sensitive. When prompted, enter the authorization number, and choose OK.
    3. Next, enter a user name for the iPAQ, for example, "Joe�s iPAQ," and choose OK. This identifier will appear before each message typed on the iPAQ. The user name can be up to 16-characters long. An identifier that is unique and short is recommended, for example, "Joe�s iPAQ."
    4. Next, determine if you want to enable a button on the iPAQ to automatically launch the FaceToFace application.

      Note: For a deaf/blind user, an iPAQ hotkey is the best way to quickly launch the FaceToFace application since it does not require sighted assistance.

      Follow the instructions that appear on the screen to configure an iPAQ button for FaceToFace.

      Important: If your iPAQ uses a thumb keyboard, you must remove it to access buttons on the bottom of the iPAQ. When button configuration is complete, you can reattach the thumb keyboard to the device. In the future, you must remove the thumb keyboard when you want to start the application using an iPAQ hotkey.


      Once this is complete, the FaceToFace application appears on the iPAQ screen with the following prompt: Server mode: Waiting for connection.
    5. Warm reset the iPAQ. After it restarts, open the FaceToFace application by pressing the assigned hotkey.
