• Only use the supplied stylus on the touch-screen. If the stylus tip becomes damaged, replace it with a new one. Using a ballpoint pen or damaged stylus may damage the screen.

USB Cradle

• Your Pocket PC Phone comes with a USB cradle. This allows you to recharge your Pocket PC Phone, as well as synchronize information between your Pocket PC and a PC using ActiveSync.

• When you insert the device into the USB cradle, make sure that the connector on the cradle is inserted into the port on the bottom of the device. Data cannot be transferred if the connection is not made.

• To synchronize, the USB Cradle must be plugged into an available USB port on your PC.

Battery Life

Your Pocket PC Phone contains a rechargeable Lithium polymer battery, which is housed permanently in your device. After years of continual use and recharging, the battery will become unusable and should be changed through a service center. While you are using your device the amount of power consumed depends on whether you are talking on the phone, using the PDA functions or if the device is on standby. The estimates for battery life – talk-time: up to 4 hours, PDA: 15-16 hours and standby: 145 hrs – are based on you only using these individual functions. If you will be continually interchanging between these features and functions, the estimates will vary.

YOUR POCKET PC CONTAINS A LITHIUM POLYMER BATTERY PACK. THERE IS

Recharging the Battery

It is extremely important that you remember to charge your battery. Your device does not have a hard drive - all your data and any new programs you install are stored in RAM. In the event that the battery loses all its power, the data and new programs mentioned above will be erased – only the default programs installed when you bought the device will remain. You can recharge your device in the following ways:

A RISK OF FIRE AND BURNS IF THE BATTERY PACK IS HANDLED IMPROPERLY. DO NOT DISASSEMBLE, CRUSH, PUNCTURE, SHORT EXTERNAL CONTACTS, OR DISPOSE OF IN FIRE OR WATER. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN OR SERVICE THE BATTERY PACK. REPLACE ONLY WITH THE BATTERY PACK DESIGNATED FOR THIS PRODUCT. DISPOSE OF BATTERIES PROPERLY.

• Place your Pocket PC Phone in the cradle and then connect the cradle to an external power source. The first time you use it, charge for three to four hours. Then, place it in the cradle for a short time each day to recharge it to full capacity.

AC Adapter plugs into the back of the cradle.

• You can plug the AC adapter into the optional USB/Serial cable head and then connect your Pocket PC Phone directly to an external power source.

Plug into your Pocket PC Phone.

To your Pocket PC Phone To AC adapter

USB synchronization cable.

Plug the AC adapter into a socket.

• You can plug the AC adapter into the optional DC Converter and then connect your Pocket PC Phone directly to an external power source.

When Your Battery Is Low

Your device has only one battery. However, a portion of that battery is saved as back-up. If the battery drains lower, your Pocket PC Phone displays a warning message. If this occurs, save any unsaved data you are working on, perform a synchronization with your PC, then turn off your Pocket PC Phone. Don’t try to restart your Pocket PC Phone until you have connected to external power. If your Pocket PC Phone does shut down, the back-up portion of your battery will protect your data for about 72 hours.

Note: Charge the battery in an environment between 41°F - 95°F (5°C and 35°C). Temperatures outside this

range may pause the charging process.

When charging the battery for the first time, fully charge the battery. If the battery is not fully charged, the remaining battery power will not be accurately displayed.

Maximizing the Battery Operating Time

• Whenever possible, use the device with the AC Adapter – especially when it is connected to your computer.

• Select the short powered-off time in the setting menu. This will shorten the time the unit will remain on if not used.

• Turn off the front light.

• Set the screen brightness to power savings mode (front light off) or shorten the front light turn-off time.

• For optimal performance use in an environment between 59°F - 77°F (15°C and 25°C). Anything outside this temperature range may decrease the operating time.

Optional Accessories

A) SD and MMC Cards

Your device has an expansion slot compatible with a range of SD and MMC Memory cards, which are primarily used to backup or transfer files and data.

To insert or remove a memory card:

1. Push the memory card into slot (see above) until it clicks into place. (The card is secure when it is not protruding from the base).

2. To remove the card, push it in and then release, letting the card spring out.

When you receive your device there will be a piece of plastic in the slot, remove using the same method described in “2” above.

C) USB cable

D) DC Connector

• The USB cable allows you to synchronize with your desktop without the cradle. The DC converter at the head of the cable, combined with an AC adapter, also allows you to recharge your device.

E) Serial Cable

• The DC Connector in combination with the AC adapter allows you to recharge your device without the cradle.

• The Serial cable allows you to synchronize with your desktop without the cradle. The DC converter in the head also allows you, in combination with and AC adapter, to recharge your device.

Chapter 3: About Your Pocket PC Phone

Resetting the Pocket PC Phone and Clearing Memory

You can perform a soft reset or a hard reset – a soft reset restarts your device and a hard reset switches the battery off. With a soft reset, some data may be lost in the programs that were open when the reset was performed. However, by performing a hard reset, all the data and new programs that you have added will be erased and the device will be restored to its factory setting – i.e. only programs installed at the factory will remain. With this in mind, it is important not to think about a hard reset as you would restarting, shutting down or even improperly switching off your desktop, but rather like a complete crash that requires you to erase your OS. Therefore, it is extremely important that you regularly back up data on your device to a SD card in the event you have to perform a hard reset.

Performing a soft reset:

If your Pocket PC Phone responds slowly, stops responding or freezes, try performing a soft reset. A soft reset causes the Pocket PC Phone to restart and re-adjust memory allocation. Unsaved data in open windows may be lost.

• Use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button. (For details on finding soft reset, see, “Chapter 2, Bottom Edge

Features.”)

Performing a hard reset:

A hard device reset clears memory, deletes all data and restores the Pocket PC Phone to its default settings. Programs installed at the factory remain, while data you have created and programs you have installed are erased.

1. Unscrew the stylus and use the smaller point of the top-half.

2. Simultaneously press the battery switch and hold down the power switch to turn it off. Repeat to turn it back on.

Backing up Files

Because any new programs or data are stored in RAM, and therefore will be lost if you have to perform a hard reset or your device loses all power for any other reason, it is absolutely paramount that you backup files to your computer, a memory card or Flash ROM. When you are at your desktop you can synchronize with your computer to backup files, however, if you are away from home and unable to access your desktop, you will need to backup files to an SD or MMC card or Flash ROM. In the former case, you can backup individual files in Word or Excel or all files in SD backup. In the latter case, through the program Permanent Save, it is possible to backup and then restore Contacts, Calendar, Internet and E-mail Settings.

To save Word or Excel files to a memory card:

1. In application programs (e.g. Pocket Word or Excel), press

Tools, Options.

2. Tap the drop down menu box under Save To and select Storage

Card.

To backup or restore your system using SD Backup:

1. Push the memory card into slot (see above) until it clicks into place. The card is secure when it is not protruding from the base.

2. Tap tab.

3. If you have inserted the SD card properly it will appear next to Target.

4. Make sure there are no application programs running in the background, then tap Start.

, Programs, SD Backup then the Backup or Restore

To backup to Flash ROM:

To restore from Flash ROM:

1. Tap , Settings, System and then Permanent Save.

2. To backup Contacts or Calendar tap the PIM tab, and then

check one or both of the boxes.

When you select to backup Contacts and Appointments,

your device will automatically backup newly added contacts and appointments. This will not happen for connections: if you add another connection you will need to back it up manually.

1. Tap , Settings, System and then Permanent Save.

2. To restore Contacts or Calendar tap the PIM tab, and then

check one or both of the boxes.

Screen Tapping, Calibration and Re-calibration

When you first startup your Pocket PC Phone, you will be asked to calibrate the screen by tapping the center of a cross with your stylus as it moves around the screen. This process ensures that when you tap the screen with your stylus the item tapped is activated. If, however, when you are using your Pocket PC Phone, you discover tapping an item doesn’t bring up the appropriate response, it means your Pocket PC Phone has lost calibration.

To recalibrate the screen:

1. Tap Settings, System and then Screen.

2. As described above, tap the center of the cross to with your stylus as it moves around the screen.

Today Screen

When you turn on your device for the first time each day (or after a period of inactivity), the Today screen appears. You

can also access it by tapping the day.

Writing on the Screen

In any program that accepts writing, such as the Notes program, and in 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’ve written and convert the information to text at a later time.

Writing on the screen:

• To switch to writing mode tap the Pen button. Lines will appear on the

screen to help you write.

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.

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

Selecting writing:

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

1. Tap and hold the stylus next to the text you want to select until the insertion point appears.

2. Without lifting, drag your stylus across the text you want to select.

If you accidentally write on the screen, tap Edit, then Undo and try again. You can also select text by tapping the Pen button to deselect it and then dragging the stylus across the screen.

You can cut, copy, and paste written text in the same way you work with typed text: tap and hold the selected words and then tap an editing command on the Pop-up menu, or tap the command on the Edit menu.

Converting writing to text:

1. Tap Tools and then Recognize.

2. If you want to convert only certain words, select them

before tapping Recognize on the Tools menu (or tap and hold the selected words and then tap Recognize on the Pop-up menu). If a word is not recognized, it is left as writing.

3. If the conversion is incorrect, you can select an alternative word from a list of alternates or return to the original writing. To do so, tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one word at a time). On the Pop-up menu, tap Alternates. A menu with a list of alternate words appears. Tap the word you want to use, or tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original writing.

For best recognition:

1. Write neatly.

2. Write on the lines and draw descanters 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.

3. For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Tools menu.

4. Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that the device can easily tell where words begin and end.

5. Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.

ny changes made to a word after you attempt to

recognize it (such as changing a “3” to an “8”) will not be included if you attempt to recognize it again.

Drawing on the Screen

Draw on the screen in the same way that you write on it. The only difference is how the items are selected and edited. For example, drawings can be resized - writing cannot.

Creating a drawing:

• A drawing box will appear when you cross any three ruled lines on your first stroke. Subsequent strokes in or touching the box become part of the drawing. Drawings that do not cross three lines will be considered writing.

Selecting a drawing:

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

• 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.

• You can cut, copy, and paste selected drawings by tapping and holding the selected drawing and then tapping an editing command on the Pop-up menu, or by tapping the command on the Edit menu. To resize a drawing, make sure the Pen button is not selected, and drag a selection handle.

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

The box indicates the boundaries of the drawing.

Recording a Message

A message can be recorded in any program where you can write or draw on screen. In Calendar, Tasks and Contacts, you can include a recording in the Notes tab.
