1) what is a network card, how do i know if i have one, and how do i use it???
2) what is piggybacking, and i have wireless in my house, how do i access it???
3) it says my expansion pack battery is excruciatingly low, how do i amend this?


Thanks guys/gals

1. A netword card is what you need to connect to other computers and/or the internet. That model of pocket PC is supposed to have a wireless network card built in.

2. To get your internet connection:
From the Today screen tap Start > iPAQ Wireless
Tap WLAN icon
It should detect your wireless. If you have a WEP Network Key (password protection of your signal - which you should be using) then you'll have to enter it

3. You should have an ac adapter to charge the battery pack.
It will also charge when connected to the computer via the USB cable.
