Chapter 1: Getting Started

Welcome

Congratulations on purchasing your Pocket PC. Its compact size and powerful features and functions let you keep your most important business and personal information up-to-date and close at hand. Microsoft synchronize the information on your desktop or laptop computer with your Pocket PC. Picture yourself in the following situations:

• While walking with a colleague, your cell phone rings and the 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’re 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, 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-todate, 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 3.

Chapter 2: Basic Skills

Learning to use your Pocket PC is easy. This chapter describes the basic concepts of using and customizing your Pocket PC.

Hardware Buttons and Stylus

Your Pocket PC has hardware buttons that control actions and scroll functions, and a stylus for selecting items and entering information. On the Pocket PC, the stylus replaces the mouse.

• Tap. Touch the screen once with the stylus to open items and select options.

• Drag. Hold the stylus on the screen and drag across the screen to select text and images. Drag

in a list to select multiple items.

• Tap-and-hold. Tap and hold the stylus on an item to see a list of actions available for that item. On the pop-up menu that appears, tap the action you want to perform.

Typing Using the Input Panel

1. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button and then 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, with Letter Recognizer open, tap the question mark next to the writing area.

To use Block Recognizer:

With Block Recognizer you can input character strokes using the stylus that are similar to those used on other devices.

1. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button and then Transcriber.

2. Write anywhere on the screen.

For specific instructions on using Transcriber, with Transcriber open, tap the question mark in the lower right hand corner of the screen.

To select typed text

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

• Drag the stylus across the text you want to select.

You can cut, copy, and paste text by tapping and holding the selected words and then tapping an editing command on the pop-up menu, or by tapping the command on the Edit menu.

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’ve written and convert the information to text at a later time.

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.

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.

To select 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 the stylus across the text you want to select.

If you accidentally write on the screen, tap Edit and 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.

To convert writing to text

Tap Tools and then Recognize. 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.

Select the text you want to convert and tap Recognize on the pop-up menu.

The writing is turned into text.

If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words 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.

Tap to return to your original writing.

Or, tap the word you want to use.

Tips for getting good recognition

• 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, 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 Pocket PC can

easily tell where 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 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.

To create a drawing

Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears. 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.

The drawing box indicates the boundaries of the drawing.

Pen button.

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

To select 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.

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 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 e-mail message.

To create a recording

1. Hold your Pocket PC’s microphone near your mouth or other source of sound.

2. Press and hold the Record hardware button on your Pocket PC until you hear a beep.

3. While holding down the Record button, make your recording.

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.

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.

Adding or Removing Programs

Programs added to your device at the factory are stored in ROM (read-only memory). You cannot remove this software, and you’ll never accidentally lose ROM contents. ROM programs can be updated using special installation programs with a *.xip extension. All other programs and data files added to your device after factory installation are stored in RAM (random access memory).

You can install any program created for your device, as long as your device has enough memory. The most popular place to find software for your device is on the Pocket PC Web site (http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc).
