The MyPal A626/A696 comes with additional Wi-Fi features that allow you to connect to wireless LAN and the Internet. The MyPal A686/A626/A696 has a single SD card slot.

Front features

• Speaker - allows you to hear alarms and other sound output from the device.

- 4-way navigation button - functions like the four arrow keys on a keyboard. This button allows you to move through program icons, folders, or files in a menu by scrolling up or down, left or right.

If the ASUS MyPal is bundled with GPS map software, you may use the buttons to zoom in, zoom out, and adjust the volume.

• Launch button - functions like the enter/return key on a keyboard. Press once to launch a selected program, list folder contents, or open a file.
• Contacts button - opens your contacts list at any time.
• Calendar button - opens the Calendar program at any time.

Right Side features

• Stylus - used for tapping or writing on the LCD touch screen.
• Hold key - provides a safety measure to avoid users from accidentally tapping the screen or turning on the device.

Tips for getting good writing recognition

• Write neatly.
• Write on the line and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross of the "t" and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not confused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the line.
• For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Tools menu. • Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that the device can easily tell where the words begin and end.
• Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.
• If you add writing to a word or change it after the word has been recognized, the writing that you added will be included when you try to recognize the writing again.

Drawing on the screen

You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and how they can be edited. For example, selected drawings can be resized, while writing cannot.

To create a drawing:

1. Use the stylus to make a stroke that extends over three lines on the screen. A drawing box appears around the stroke.

NOTE If the drawing does not cross over three lines, the drawing box does not appear.

1. Continue drawing. If your subsequent strokes extend outside the box, you will notice that the drawing box expands to enclose all the strokes.

The drawing box indicates the boundaries of the drawing

NOTE To easily work on or view your drawing, change the zoom level by tapping Menu > Zoom and selecting your desired zoom.

To edit your drawing:

1. Tap and hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection handle appears. To select multiple drawings, drag to select the drawings you want.
2. Tap and hold the selected drawing, then tap an editing command on the pop-up menu or tap a command on the Menu.
3. Resize the drawing by dragging a selection handle to your desired size.

Recording a message

In any program where you can write or draw on the screen, you can also quickly capture thoughts, reminders, and phone numbers by recording a message. In Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts, you can include a recording in the Notes tab. In the Notes program, you can either create a standalone recording or include a recording in a written note. If you want to include the recording in a note, open the note first. In the Inbox program, you can add a recording to an e-mail message.

To create a recording:

1. Tap > Programs > Notes > Menu > View Recording Toolbar.
2. Hold your device with the microphone near your mouth or other source of sound.
3. Tap ● (red button) to begin recording. To stop recording, tap ■ You will hear two beeps when you stop recording.
4. The new recording appears in the Notes list, or as an embedded icon. To play the recording, tap it from the list, or if embedded in a note, tap the Speaker icon.

To change the recording format:

1. In the note list, tap Menu > Options > Global Input Options link > Options tab.

Chapter 3 Synchronize and Enhance

Microsoft® ActiveSync®

The Microsoft® ActiveSync® is one of the important bundled programs in MyPal. With ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your desktop computer with the information on your device. Synchronization compares the data on your device with your desktop computer and updates both computers with the most recent information. To get the latest version of Microsoft® ActiveSync®, visit the website: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/downloads/activesync42.mspx.

For example:

• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop computer.
• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your device and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.

NOTE: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use the ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on or off for specific information types.

With ActiveSync, you can also:

• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop computer.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to your desktop computer or only when you choose to synchronize.
• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose to synchronize your appointments of the past two weeks only; appointments older than two weeks are not synchronized.

For more information about using ActiveSync:

• Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail server through an Internet service provider (ISP) or a network

Synchronizing e-mail messages

You can e-mail messages as part of the general synchronization process. You will need to enable mail synchronization in ActiveSync. For more information on enabling mail synchronization, see the ActiveSync online help on your desktop computer.

During synchronization:

• Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your desktop computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your device. By default, you will receive messages from the past five days only and the first 100 lines of each message.
• E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Exchange or Outlook, then sent from those programs.
• E-mail messages in subfolders must be selected in ActiveSync on your desktop computer in order to be transferred.

NOTE: You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your desktop computer from a remote location. For more information on connecting your device, see Chapter 7.

Connecting directly to an e-mail server

In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop computer, you can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a modem or network card connected to your device. You need to set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail server. For more information, see Chapter 7.

When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder, messages in the device Outbox folders are sent,

and messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the device Inbox folder.

Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server rather than your desktop computer. When you delete a message on your device, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect, based on the settings you selected in ActiveSync.

You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space in your device.

When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete messages you have marked for retrieval and sends the messages you have composed.

When you connect to your e-mail server or synchronize with your desktop computer, by default, you will receive messages from the last three days only, and the mail is less than 0.5KB in size. If the mail size is larger than 0.5KB, you need to download it through hyperlink. The original messages remain on the e-mail server or your desktop computer.

You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in full during your next synchronization or e-mail server connection. In the message list, tap and hold the message that you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap Download Message. The icons in the Inbox message list give you visual indications of message status.

You can specify your downloading preferences when you set up the service or select your synchronization options. You can change them at any time.

• Change options for Inbox synchronization using ActiveSync options. For more information, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.
• Change options for direct e-mail server connections in Inbox on your device. Tap Menu > Tools > Options. On the Accounts tab, tap the account that you wish to change. Tap and hold the account and select Delete to remove an account.

Reading messages in Inbox

The messages you receive appear in your Inbox folder. By default, the most recently received messages appear on top of the list. Unread messages appear in boldface.

Tap to select email account, and the folder that you wish to display

Tap an e-mail message from your Inbox to display it.

Composing messages

To compose a message:

1. Tap New to display a blank e-mail screen.

1. In the To field, enter the e-mail address of your recipient. You may either type the e-mail address or select a name from the Contacts list by tapping "To".

If you wish to send a copy of your e-mail to other recipients, use the stylus pen to scroll up to display the Cc: and Bcc: lines in the message header.

The addresses in the To: and Cc: can be viewed by all recipients.

The addresses in the Bcc: are hidden from the recipients.

To address your e-mail to several recipients, type the e-mail addresses separated by a semicolon. A semicolon is automatically added between e-mail addresses if you select from your Contacts list.

All the names in the Contacts list with e-mail addresses appear in the e-mail address book.

1. Enter a subject and compose your message.
2. Tap Send.

NOTE To enter preset or frequently used messages, tap Menu > My Text and select your desired message.

To create or edit a preset message before adding it to the message body, tap Menu > My Text > Edit My Text Messages, select a message to change or select a blank line at the bottom of the list, then enter your text and tap ok.

To save composed messages:

If you are working offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and will be sent the next time you connect.

If you do not wish to send the message immediately, tap OK after composing the message to save it to the Drafts folder.

When you are ready to send the message, open the Drafts folder and tap the message. Tap Send to send the message.

Managing e-mail messages and folders

The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.

• If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will automatically be synchronized with your device. The folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on the server.
• If you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.
• If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the device and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see that the messages are missing from the device Inbox and delete them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the device.
• If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your device or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected.
