May I introduce myself?

My name is Pocket LOOX 610. 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 Pocket

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 combination memory card and GSM/GPRS Com pactFlash card? Or you can combine two memory cards for maximum memory capacity.

With BLUETOOTH, the infrared interface and the integrated Wireless LA N (dependi ng on the model), you can also connec t to other devices in your of fice and on the go without bothersome cables. For example, thanks to BLUETOOTH you can tak e m e i nt o the Internet without cables wi t h your BLUETOOTH-capable cell phone. Nat ural l y, I also have the Pocket Internet Explorer ready for you. With it you can v i sit both websites and WAP sites.

Incidentally, if you install a GSM/GPRS Com pactFlash card in me I am c om pl etely autonomous when it comes to Internet and dat a connections: send your emai l s, carry out research in t he net or synchronise your data (e. g. via XTND Connect), regardless of where you are at the moment.

For long hours far from a power connection and cradle, I can warmly recomm end the Main Battery XL (also available as an accessory). In conjunc t i on with the Main Battery XL, I can offer you up to 24 hours of battery runtime, depending on your preferred applications.

If the full reset swi t ch is used to shut down the Pocket LOOX 610, this reset s it back to the delivery state and the entire RAM contents are lost. This means you loose all data (documents, additionally installed programs, personal settings) that you haven' t saved elsewhere.

Therefore, remember to make a regular data bac kup with synchronisati on (see the "Synchronising data with ActiveSync" chapter) or on corresponding memory cards (available as an access ory). The FSC Backup program is provided on y our P ocket LOOX 610 for completely back i ng up the RAM memory on memory cards (see the "Backing up data with FSC Backup“ chapt er ).
