iPaq 5550

The iPaq 5550. For those branches that are using iPaq for scanning boxes this article is for you.

Your iPaq 5550 runs under the Pocket PC 2003 or what we now know as the Windows Mobile 2003 operating system. It has a buit-in wifi compatible with wireless b and wireless g, and it has a bluetooth. It also has the expasion pack with a second battery and a compact flash module were you insert the compact flash adaptor of your socket scan scanner.

Most complain I received from users about the iPaq is it's wireless connection. Sometimes when a users starts to use it, they just notice that they cannot login to PPC Forex. Why is that? It's because you don't have an internet connection. Now, the first thing you need to do is verify the wifi signal strength. There is an icon on top that will tell you the signal strenght. If there is no connection, try to reset the iPaq. If you have done all the basic troubleshooting and still no success. Take off the expansion pack, now for no more that 10 seconds, take the main battery off the iPaq and put it back in. Turn it back on and you will notice that you can now connect to your wireless router. Just put everyting back in place and you're good to go.
