To use Character Recognizer

1. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button and then Character 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 Character Recognizer, see Appendix A.

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

Ta p 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.

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

Terminal 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 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.

To create a recording

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

2. Press and hold the Record hardware button on your Pocket PC Terminal 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.

Programs added to your Pocket PC Terminal at the factory are stored in ROM (read-only memory). You cannot remove or modify this software, and you’ll never accidentally lose ROM contents. Programs and data files added to your Pocket PC Terminal after factory installation are stored in RAM (random access memory). You can install any program created for your Pocket PC Terminal, as long as your Pocket PC Terminal has enough memory. The most popular place to find software for your Pocket PC Terminal is on the World Wide Web.

To add programs

Yo u ’ll need to install the appropriate software for your Pocket PC Terminal on your desktop computer before installing it on your Pocket PC Terminal.

1. Determine your Pocket PC Terminal and processor type so that you know which version of the

software to install. Tap tab, and make a note of the information in Processor.

2. Download the program to your desktop computer (or insert the CD or disk that contains the

program into your desktop computer). You may see a single *.exe file, a *.zip file, a Setup.exe file, or several versions of files for different Pocket PC types and processors. Be sure to select the program designed for the Pocket PC Terminal and your Pocket PC Terminal processor type.

3. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that comes with the

program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.

4. Connect your Pocket PC Terminal and desktop computer.

5. Double-click the *.exe file.

• If the file is an installer, the installation wizard will begin. Follow the directions on the screen. Once the software has been installed on your desktop computer, the installer will automatically transfer the software to your Pocket PC Terminal.

• If the file is not an installer, you will see an error message stating that the program is valid but it is designed for a different type of computer. You will need to move this file to your Pocket PC Terminal. If you cannot find any installation instructions for the program in the Read Me file or documentation, use ActiveSync Explorer to copy the program file to the Program Files folder on your Pocket PC Terminal. For more information on copying files using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help.

Chapter 3: Microsoft ActiveSync

Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your desktop computer with the information on your Pocket PC Terminal. Synchronization compares the data on your Pocket PC Terminal with your desktop computer and updates both computers with the most recent information. For example:

• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your Pocket PC Terminal with your choice of Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Schedule+, or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop computer.

• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel documents between your Pocket PC Terminal and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.

By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information, for example, e-mail messages. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for specific information types.

With ActiveSync, you can also:

• Back up and restore your Pocket PC Terminal data.

• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your Pocket PC Terminal and desktop computer.

• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you

can synchronize continually while the Pocket PC Terminal is connected to your desktop computer (using a cable), 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 installing ActiveSync, see the documentation accompanying the ActiveSync CD. For information on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.

Chapter 4: Microsoft Pocket Outlook

Microsoft Pocket Outlook® includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Inbox, and Notes. You can use these programs individually or together. For example, e-mail addresses stored in Contacts can be used to address e-mail messages in Inbox. Using ActiveSync, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Schedule+, or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop computer with your Pocket PC Terminal. Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the changes you made on your Pocket PC Terminal and desktop computer and updates both computers with the latest information. For information on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer. You can switch to any of these programs by tapping them on the
