Using the iPAQ with the Ubuntu Linux System

  1. Place the iPAQ in the cradle and connect the cradle to the AC power.
  2. Wait for the iPAQ to finish booting.
  3. Connect the USB cable from the cradle to the computer.
  4. Use scp in a console to copy files to the iPAQ: scp sourcefile ipaq:destination
    (Sourcefile is the file to be copied and destination is the directory on the iPAQ in which you want it placed)
