May I introduce myself?

My name is Pocket LOOX 600. I am part of the Pock et PC family, also call ed handhel ds. I'm sure you've already noticed that I'm flat , handy and light-weight. Now I'd l i ke to draw your

attention to my extensive, diverse capabilities. I am equipped with the Offic e appl i cations MS-Word, Excel and Outlook – naturally all in the Poc ket

version. In Outlook you can not only receive and send e-mails, you can also manage your appointments and let me remind y our of the things you have to do. Of course, you can also enter your address list in me so that you can access names (e-mail) addresses and tel ephone num bers when you're on the go. You can enter notes in me in writing or verbally as wi th a dictaphone. Memory cards, which y ou can buy in various sizes, ensure that I can also rel i abl y hold and retain large amounts of data.

In the office you can t hen effortlessly trans fer all your data and newly created doc um ents to your notebook or PC. To do this, jus t insert me in my cradle, i nstall ActiveSync on your PC and you're ready to synchronise y our dat a. In addition, a short st ay in the cradle also gives m e new power, as my battery will be charged while I'm there. If you don't have your cradle at hand, for example in a hotel room, it doesn't matter. You can synchronise your data using the Acti veSync cable via the infrared interface or with BLUE TOOTH, and you can charge my battery wi t h the power adapter.

And since life isn't all work and no play, I offer you additional functions as well. You can read your favourite book quite comfortably on my display or use me as an MP3 player. Insert the memory card of your digital camera in the suitable card slot and you c an view the photos you just t ook on my display.

Have you already noticed that I provide you with two slots? You can use different cards at the same time. And how about the combi nat ion memory card and W-LAN card? Or you can combine two memory cards for maxi mum memory capacity .

With BLUETOOTH, the infrared interface and the slot for your W-LAN card you can connect to other devices in your office and on the go without bothersome cables. For example, thanks t o BLUETOOTH you can take me into the Internet without cables wi th your BLUETOOTH-capable cell phone. Naturally, I also have the Pocket Internet Explorer ready for you. With it y ou can visit both websites and WAP sites.

By the way, if you also strap the GSM/GPRS modul e (available as an accessory) onto my back, I become completely autonom ous with regard to the Internet and telephone functions. Send your emails, conduct res earch on the Internet or make phone calls - regardless of where you are at the time.

For long hours far from a power connection and cradle, I can warmly recomm end the second battery module (also available as an accessory). Together with it I offer you up to 24 hours of battery operating time.

But whether with or without expansion modules , you'll notice I'm fully willing and able to help you in a wide variety of situations. Thanks to the FSC SpeedMenu and the corresponding keys you can also operate me with one hand. Test my diversity ! - This manual will help you do that!
