Welcome
Congratulations on your selection of our Palm-size PC.
Your new Palm-size PC comes with Microsoft Windows CE preinstalled, which means
it can be used in conjunction with a Microsoft Windows based personal computer. You
can use the Palm-size PC’s powerful software capabilities to take along the latest
version of your appointments, contacts, and other data, while using your desktop or
laptop for major input and editing work. You can even send and receive e-mail while
on the go.
Picture yourself in the following situations.
• You’re on a business trip and receive valuable feedback from an important client.
You can use Calendar to schedule a meeting with your colleagues back at the office.
Next, you can use Contacts to look up e-mail addresses and send messages
informing everyone about the meeting.
• You’re at a meeting taking notes and drawing diagrams with Note Taker. Afterwards,
you send copies of your notes to your colleagues by attaching them to an e-mail
message. When you get back to the office, you clean up and edit your notes after
uploading them to your desktop computer.
• While driving home from work, you suddenly remember two or three important
phone calls you need to make the first thing tomorrow. While stopped at a red light,
you reach for your Palm-size PC and use Voice Recorder to record a reminder for
later playback.
• You’re meeting friends for dinner and a movie tonight. You use Internet Explorer 4.0
on your desktop computer to get the latest movie information, which you then
download to your Palm-size PC. Later over dinner, you use your Palm-size PC to go
over the movie information with your friends to decide which movie you want to
see.
These are just some of the many ways you can use the software capabilities of your
new Palm-size PC in your daily life. In addition, there are a number of other additional
programs you can install to tailor the Palm-size PC to your specific data management
needs.

Typing and Writing on your Palm-size PC
Your Palm-size PC provides you with a selection of three different options for entering
data. You can type with an on-screen keyboard, hand-write characters using character
recognition, or draw graphics on the screen using the stylus.
You can use the stylus to draw graphics on the screen for input into Note Taker, and for
notes you attach to entries in Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks.
You get the option of entering text by typing with the on-screen keyboard or by
handwriting using the Palm-size PC’s built-in character recognizer. These options are
available for any program you run on our Palm-size PC.
To select the input method, tap the Input Method arrow and then select one of the
methods from the menu that appears.
Typing with the Keyboard
To type with the on-screen keyboard, tap the Input Method arrow and select
Keyboard. Next, use the stylus to tap the keyboard keys.

Note
Drag the stylus across the panel from right to left to delete a character. Drag from left

As you type or write text, your Palm-size PC guesses the word you are entering and
displays a suggestion above the input panel. If the word that appears is what you want
to enter, tap it and it is inserted at the insertion point. Your Palm-size PC learns the
words you use over time, so the more you use it, the quicker and more accurate its
guesses become.
Palm-size PC User’s Guide
14
Tap here if this is
the word you want
to enter.
Viewing Data
Most of the pre-installed programs provide a list view that shows the items or files
stored with a program. You can select a particular item or file in the list view and
change to a detailed view of its contents.
Detailed ViewList View
• Tapping on a column heading sorts the items in the list on that column. Each time
you tap a heading, the sort order changes between ascending and descending.
• In Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks, you can assign records to particular categories and
then select the category whose data you want to appear in the list view.
Part 1 Using the Palm-size PC
• In Note Taker, Voice Recorder, and Inbox, you can place files or messages into
folders and then select the folder whose files you want to appear in the list view.
See the online help and manuals that come with your Palm-size PC for more
information about the different views and filtering capabilities of each program.
