Preface

Welcome

Congratulations on purchasing this Windows® Powered Pocket PC. Due to the size and capabilities of the device, you can keep your most important business and personal information up-to-date and close at hand. Microsoft® ActiveSync® increases the power of your Pocket PC by allowing you to synchronize the information on your desktop or Microsoft Exchange Server with your Pocket PC. Picture yourself in the following situations:

• While walking with a colleague, your cell phone rings and your boss asks if you two are free this afternoon for an emergency meeting. While your colleague fumbles through his paper organizer, you press a button on your Pocket PC and instantly see a list of today's appointments and meetings. You are quickly able to tell the boss your available times. For more information on scheduling appointments and meetings, see Chapter 4.
• You are meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You download the latest movie information from the Internet to your desktop computer and then synchronize it with your Pocket PC. At dinner, you pull out your Pocket PC and review your movie options with your friends. For more information on downloading Web pages to your device, see Chapter 7.
• A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab your Pocket PC and catch the bus just in time. Because ActiveSync keeps the information on your Pocket PC up-to-date, you leisurely review your task list, make notes about the new books and CDs you want to buy and read and respond to e-mail messages. When you get back to the office, ActiveSync transfers any task changes you made, your notes and your e-mail message responses to your desktop computer. For more information on ActiveSync, see Chapter 7.

- In addition, your Pocket PC is a digital camera and a MP3 player as well.

• Speak into the microphone to record a message.

Entering Text Using the Input Panel

Use the Input panel to enter information in any program on your Pocket PC. You can either type using the soft keyboard or write using the soft keyboard, Block Recognizer, Letter Recognizer or Transcriber. In any case, the characters appear as typed text on the screen.

To show or hide the Input panel, tap the Input panel button. Tap the arrow next to the Input panel button to see your choices.

When you use the Input panel, your Pocket PC anticipates the word you are typing or writing and displays it above the Input panel. When you tap the displayed word, it is inserted into your text at the insertion point. The more you use your Pocket PC, the more words it learns to anticipate.

NOTE: To change word suggestion options, such as the number of words suggested at one time, tap → Settings → Personal tab → Input icon → Word Completion tab.

Block Recognizer

With Block Recognizer, you can use the stylus to input characters using strokes that are similar to the Palm™ Graffiti® method.

To type with Block Recognizer:

1. Tap the arrow next to the Input panel button and then tap Block Recognizer.
2. Write a letter in the box.

When you write a letter, it is converted to typed text that appears on the screen. For specific instructions on using Block Recognizer, open Block Recognizer and then tap the question mark next to the writing area.

Letter Recognizer

With Letter Recognizer, you can write letters using the stylus just as you would use a pen on paper.

To type with Letter Recognizer:

1. Tap the arrow next to the Input panel button and then tap Letter Recognizer.
2. Write a letter in the box.

When you write a letter, it is converted to typed text that appears on the screen. For specific instructions on using Letter Recognizer, open Letter Recognizer and then tap the question mark next to the writing area.

Transcriber

With Transcriber you can write anywhere on the screen using the stylus just as you would on paper. Unlike Letter Recognizer and Block Recognizer, you can write a sentence or more of information; then, you pause and let Transcriber change the written characters to typed characters.

To type with Transcriber:

1. Tap the arrow next to the Input panel button then tap Transcriber.

2. Write anywhere on the screen.

For specific instructions on using Transcriber, open Transcriber and then tap the question mark in the lower-right corner of the screen.

Writing on the Screen

In any program that accepts writing—such as the Notes program and the Notes tab in Calendar, Contacts and Tasks—you can use your stylus to write directly on the screen. Write the way you do on paper. You can edit and format what you have written and convert the information to text later.

Writing

To write on the screen, tap the Pen button to switch to writing mode. This action displays lines on the screen to help you write.

Tap the Pen button and use your stylus like a pen.

NOTE: Some programs that accept writing may not have the Pen button. See the documentation for that program to find out how to switch to writing mode.

Editing Your Writing

If you want to edit or format writing, you must first select the writing and then edit it.

1. Tap and hold the stylus next to the text you want to select until the insertion point appears. Without lifting, drag the stylus across the text you want to select.

You can also select text by tapping the Pen button to deselect it and then dragging the stylus across the screen.

1. Tap and hold the selected words and then tap an editing command (cut, copy or paste) on the pop-up menu or tap the command on the Edit menu.

If you accidentally write on the screen, tap Tools → Undo and try again.

Converting Your Writing to Text

1. If you want to convert only certain words, select them before going to the next step.

2. To convert writing to text, tap Tools → Recognize or tap and hold the selected words and then tap Recognize on the pop-up menu. Your writing is turned into text.

If a word is not recognized, it is left as writing.

If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of alternates or return to the original writing.

1. Tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one word at a time).
2. On the pop-up menu, tap Alternates. A menu with a list of alternate words appears.
3. Tap the word you want to use or tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original writing.

Some tips for getting good recognition are listed below:

• Write neatly.
• Write on the lines 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, use the Tools menu to increase the zoom level to 300%.
• Write the letters of a word close together and leave big gaps between words.
• Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents some punctuation cannot be converted.
• If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an “8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will not be included if you attempt 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.

Creating a Drawing

1. To create a drawing, cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears.

2. Subsequent strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings that do not cross three ruled lines will be treated as writing.

NOTE: You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily work on or view your drawing. Tap Tools and then choose a zoom level.

Editing Your Drawing

If you want to edit or format a drawing, you must select it first.

1. Tap and hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection handle appears. To select multiple drawings, deselect the Pen button and then drag to select the drawings you want.
2. Tap and hold the selected drawing and then tap an editing command (cut, copy or paste) on the pop-up menu or tap the command on the Edit menu.
3. To resize a drawing, make sure the Pen button is not selected and then drag a selection handle.

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 Contacts, you can include a recording in the Notes tab. In the Notes program, you can either create a stand-alone 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 email message.

To create a recording:

1. Hold the Pocket PC's microphone near your mouth or other source of sound.
2. Press and hold the record button on the side of your Pocket PC. If the speaker is not muted, a beep indicates that your Pocket PC is recording. The Notification indicator glows red while recording is in progress.
3. While holding down the record button, speak into the microphone.
4. To stop recording, release the Record button. Two beeps will sound. The new recording appears in the note list or as an embedded icon.

NOTE: You can also make a recording by tapping the Record button on the Recording toolbar.

To play a recording, tap it in the list or tap its icon in the note.

Recording Formats

Your Pocket PC supports several formats for voice notes. The formats vary in both the quality of the recording and the size of the sound file. When selecting a recording format, you should consider the quality you need as well as how much storage memory the recording will use on your Pocket PC.

Not all recording formats are compatible with other software or computers. If you will share your recordings with others or transfer a recording to your desktop computer, be sure to choose a recording format that is supported by the software used to play recordings on the other computer.

The PCM format offers the highest quality recording and is compatible with all Pocket PC models, other Windows-powered mobile devices and desktop computers that use Windows operating systems. The GSM 6.10 format is compatible with all Pocket PC models and other Windows-powered mobile devices, but may not work with desktop computers.

To select a recording format:

1. Tap → Settings → Input icon.

2. On the Options tab in the Input control panel, select a voice recording format from the drop-down list.

The list of recording formats on your Pocket PC indicates the sample rate, whether the format is stereo or mono and how much storage memory is required per second of recording. You may need to experiment with different sample rates and formats to determine which format best suits your voice.

Using My Text

When using Inbox or MSN Messenger, use My Text to quickly insert preset or frequently used messages into the text entry area. To insert a message, tap My Text and then tap a message.

NOTE: After inserting a My Text message, you can add text to it before you send the message.

To edit a My Text message, tap Tools → Edit My Text Messages. Select the message you wish to edit and make desired changes.

3 Managing Your Pocket PC

This chapter tells you how to effectively manage power, memory, settings, data and programs of your Pocket PC.

3.1 Managing Power

You must maintain a continuous power supply to your Pocket PC to retain your data, including any information, programs or settings that you added to your Pocket PC.

A fully charged battery should provide power for up to 8 hours of use. The operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using the Pocket PC. Some functions, such as using multimedia or operating a SD/MMC card, may consume the battery power considerably.

Low Battery Signals and Actions

CAUTION:

• Though your Pocket PC can retain data for 72 hours after its battery runs completely out of power, you must constantly charge the battery of your Pocket PC. This can prevent data loss or damage to the battery caused by the battery's being kept in a discharged state for too long.
• When you recharge the battery upon a warning of low power, you should charge for at least 30 minutes. If you unplug the AC adapter soon, you may not have sufficient battery power for your operation.

You can monitor the battery power by tapping → Settings → System tab → Power icon. The remaining power is displayed on a status bar in the Power control panel.

When the battery is low, your Pocket PC will pop up a warning message. You should save your data and recharge the battery immediately upon a warning of low power; otherwise your Pocket PC will turn off automatically. You need to

connect the Pocket PC to external AC power for charging before you can use it again. If the battery completely runs out of power, you will lose any information, programs or settings that you added.

Power-Saving Tips

Follow these suggestions to maximize the battery's operating time, particularly when you are relying solely on the battery power for extended time periods.

- Suspend frequently.

By default, the screen backlight will automatically turn off and the Pocket PC will also turn off when it has been idle for a period of time. You can shorten the length of the idle time using 📄 → Settings → System tab → Power → Advanced tab to set up.

Press the power button to turn off your Pocket PC when it is not in use, even for a short time. You can also manually turn off the backlight by pressing and holding the power button.

- Turn off functions not needed or adjust settings.

√ Lower the volume.

√ Do not enable sounds or light flashing except for the most necessary notifications. (Tap → Settings → Personal tab → Sounds & Notifications icon to set up.)

√ Remove the SD/MMC card, if installed, from the slot if you are not using it.

- Avoid power-consuming situations such as:

√ When connecting your Pocket PC to your desktop computer (Your Pocket PC will not auto-suspend while it is connected.)

√ When using a modem or other peripheral

√ When monitoring infrared transfers (Although you can set your Pocket PC to constantly monitor the IR port for files sent from other devices, doing so will quickly drain your battery.)

√ When playing sound or music

√ When recording.

3.2 Managing Memory

Storage and Program Memory

Files, settings and data that you add to your Pocket PC are stored in RAM (Random Access Memory). The RAM on your Pocket PC is shared between storage memory and program memory.

- Storage memory

Storage memory is used to store the data you create and additional programs you install.

- Program memory

Program memory is used to run programs on your Pocket PC.

Your Pocket PC automatically manages the allocation between storage and program memory. However, in some situations, such as when the memory is running out, your Pocket PC may not be able to automatically adjust the allocation. (For information on solving memory problems, see section 8.4.)

Additional Memory

You can buy a SD/MMC storage card for backup, storage, archives or to transfer large files to other devices. Files stored on a storage card appear in a folder called SDMMC Disk, listed under My Device in the File Explorer application.

Data stored on a storage card will be saved, even if your Pocket PC loses power. To protect your data, you can back up regularly to a storage card.

3.3 Customizing Your Pocket PC

NOTE: Incorrect settings may cause your system to malfunction. Make sure that you fully understand the function of a certain item before any adjustment.

Tap → Inbox on your Pocket PC to switch to the program.

Synchronizing E-mail Messages

E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. To do this, you need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.

During synchronization, the following occurs:

• Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your desktop computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your Pocket PC. By default, you receive messages from the past three days only, the first 100 lines of each message file attachments of less than 100 KB in size.
• Email messages in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC are transferred to Exchange or Outlook and then sent from those programs.
• The messages on the two computers are linked. When you delete a message on your Pocket PC, it is deleted from your desktop computer the next time you synchronize.
• Email messages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are synchronized only if they have been selected for synchronization in ActiveSync

NOTE: You can also synchronize email messages with your desktop computer from a remote location. For more information, see Section 7.2.

Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server

You can send and receive email messages by connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail server if you can connect to your ISP or local area network. (For information on connection, see Sections 7.4.)

Setting up an Email Service

You can use multiple email services to receive your messages. For each email service you intend to use, first set up and name the email service. If you use the same service to connect to different mailboxes, set up and name each mailbox connection.

In Inbox, tap Accouts → New Account. Follow the directions in the New Service Wizard. For an explanation of a screen, tap 🔒 at the upper right corner of the screen.

NOTE: You cannot add a new service while connected. Tap Accounts → Disconnect to disconnect.

When you connect to the email server, new messages are downloaded to the Inbox folder on your Pocket PC, messages in the Pocket PC Outbox folder are sent messages that have been deleted on the email server are removed from the Inbox folder on your Pocket PC.

Messages that you receive directly from an email server are linked to your email server rather than your desktop computer. When you delete a message on your Pocket PC, it is also deleted from the email 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 email server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your Pocket PC.

When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the email server and then 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.

Using the Message List

Messages you receive are displayed in the message list. By default, the most recently received messages are displayed first in the list.

When you receive a message, tap it to open it. Unread messages are displayed in bold.

When you connect to your email server or synchronize with your desktop computer or server, by default, you will receive messages from the last three days only, the first 100 lines of each new message file attachments of less than 100KB in size. The original messages remain on the server or your desktop computer.

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

You 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.
• Change options for direct email server connections in Inbox on your Pocket PC. Tap Accounts → Accounts and tap the service you want to change. Tap and hold the account and tap Delete to remove an account.

Composing and Sending Messages

1. In Inbox, tap New.

2. In tho field, enter an email address of one or more recipients, separating them with a semicolon. If the address is already in your contact list, you can tap To or the 📄 Contacts button in the Command bar to select the e-mail address.

1. To select a service, tap the DOWN arrow to display more header information. In the Account list, select ActiveSyn or the desired e-mail account.

2. Enter your message. To quickly enter common messages, tap My Text and select the desired message.

3. To check spelling, tap Edit → Spell Check.

4. If you want to attach a file to the message, tap Edit → Add Attachment and select the desired file.

NOTE: OLE objects cannot be attached to Inbox messages.

1. Tap Send when you have finished the message. If you are working offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and is sent the next time you connect.

The message is placed in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC and will be delivered in one of two ways:

• The message is transferred to the Outbox folder in Exchange or Outlook on your desktop computer and sent the next time you synchronize.
• The message is transferred to your email server the next time you connect. In Inbox, make sure the appropriate service is selected on the Accounts menu. Then tap the Connect button (or Connect on the Accounts menu).

Managing Email Messages and Folders

Each e-mail service account has its own folder hierarchy with five default folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts and Sent Items. The messages you receive and send through the mail service are stored in these folders. You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy.

The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on your Pocket PC. The behaviour of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends on the options you have chosen.

Folder Behavior

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

• If you use ActiveSync, email messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are automatically synchronized with your Pocket PC. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync The folders you create and the messages you move are mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read the messages while away from your desktop computer.
• If you use POP3 and you move email messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the Pocket PC and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server sees that the

messages are missing from the Pocket PC Inbox and deletes them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the Pocket PC.

- If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the email 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 Pocket PC or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders or rename/delete folders when connected.

For all services except ActiveSync, you can access folder options by tapping Tools → Manage Folders in the message list.

You can connect your Pocket PC to a desktop computer in several ways:

- Use the USB cradle or ActiveSync cable (available as an optional accessory) (See step 8 of section 1.4 for information.)

• Use the IR port in place of using a cable. IR ports can be found on many notebook computers; however, on a desktop computer, you may need to install and configure an IR port. To install the port, follow the manufacturer's instructions. (For complete instructions on connecting to your desktop computer by infrared, refer to ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.)
• Use a network or dial-up connection. You can synchronize while connected to your desktop computer by a dial-up connection or over a LAN (Local Area Network).

Microsoft ActiveSync

NOTE: ActiveSync is already installed on your Pocket PC. You need to install ActiveSync on your desktop computer. (For information on installing ActiveSync, see section 1.4.)

When you have established the connection between your Pocket PC and your desktop computer, you can synchronize the information between the two with ActiveSync. Synchronization compares the data on the two sides and updates both computers with the most recent information. For example, you can:

• Keep your Pocket Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks databases up-to-date by synchronizing your Pocket PC with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop computer.
• Synchronize email messages in your Pocket PC Inbox with email messages in Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer.
• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your Pocket PC and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.

With ActiveSync, you can also:

• Back up and restore your Pocket PC data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your Pocket PC and desktop computer.
• Add and remove programs on your Pocket PC.
• Pass through your desktop computer to a network or the Internet to perform tasks such as downloading IMAP4 e-mail messages or browsing the Internet on your Pocket PC.

Synchronizing Data

Once you have created a partnership and completed the first synchronization, you can initiate synchronization from your Pocket PC.

To Synchronize from Your Pocket PC

1. Connect your Pocket PC to your desktop computer.

2. On your Pocket PC, tap → ActiveSync.

3. Tap ⬆ to begin synchronization.

By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for specific information types. You can:

- Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while the Pocket PC is connected or only when you choose the synchronize command.

- Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.

For information on setting ActiveSync options and using ActiveSync on your desktop computer, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer. For

information on using ActiveSync on your Pocket PC, see ActiveSync Help on the Pocket PC.

To Synchronize from a Remote Location

You can also synchronize by dialing in to your desktop computer or connecting over a network. This can be useful if you need to synchronize files or PIM information while traveling. Before you leave, you must configure both your Pocket PC and your desktop computer.

On your Pocket PC, you need to create a partnership between your Pocket PC and the desktop computer using one of the direct connection methods (USB cable or infrared connection). You must also configure a connection on your Pocket PC as described in section 7.4.

On your desktop computer, you need to ensure the following:

• The desktop computer or network server is configured to allow your Pocket PC to connect. Depending on the version of Windows running on the desktop computer, you may need to install and configure Remote Access Services or Dial-Up Networking on the desktop computer.
• ActiveSync is configured to allow a network connection. For more information, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.
• If you are using a modem on your desktop computer, turn the modem on before you leave.
• Leave your desktop computer on and be sure you logged on under the same user name that you used when you created the partnership.
• Your PIM program and email program (Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange) should be running correctly.

7.3 Transferring Items Using Infrared

Using infrared (IR), you can send and receive information, such as contacts and appointments, between two devices. In addition, you can use the IR port to synchronize data with your desktop computer, in place of using the synchronizing cable.

Sending Information

1. Switch to the program where you created the item you want to send and locate the item in the list.
