Operating the Pocket PC
Optimising battery operating time
When you have completely charged the battery, you can operate the Pocket PC for up to 12 hours without a power connection. However, it is not possible to exactly specify the maximum operating time, as different applications use more or less energy.
In the system settings you can make settings that help you save energy when using your Pocket PC. These settings enable you to use the battery operating time optimally. Please obtain information on the various ways to save energy in the chapter "Configuring the Pocket PC", section "Optimising energy management".
In the default setting, a setting is activated that automatically switches the Pocket PC into
i
the Suspend mode after three minutes when working without a power connection if no entries are made during this time. You can switch on the Pocket PC again at any time by briefly pressing the Suspend/Resume button and then continue working where you left off.
Displaying battery charge level
You can display the battery charge level under Start - Settings - System - Power.
If the battery charge level is very low, you will be warned with a dialog window during operation. Then immediately connect your Pocket PC to an electrical outlet.
If you do not immediately connect your Pocket PC to the mains power, the Pocket PC will automatically switch itself off. The data in the RAM memory remains intact for several hours.
However, if the Pocket PC is still not connected to the mains power during this period, all data that is only in RAM (such as documents, additionally installed programs, personal settings) will be lost. In other words, your Pocket PC is reset to the delivery state.

Synchronising data with new PC/notebook
If you want to synchronise data with a new PC/notebook, you must first install ActiveSync on this new PC/notebook and establish a new ActiveSync partnership (see the corresponding explanation in the section "Initial start-up").
Backing up data with FSC Backup
The Pocket PC saves your data such as appointments, addresses, things to do and notes, as well as all documents in the RAM memory of the device. These data are backed up to your PC during synchronisation with ActiveSync. However, to also make current data backups away from home or while on business trips, there is FSC Backup.
FSC Backup saves an image of the RAM memory of your Pocket PC to a memory card ("Secure Digital I/O", "MultiMediaCard" or CompactFlash card) or in the integrated memory area, the LOOXstore (if installed). If your Pocket PC has experienced a power failure and the data from the RAM memory have been deleted, then you can restore a data backup you have made with FSC Backup. This provides you with the data status at the time of the backup again within just a few minutes.
As FSC Backup backs up and restores the entire RAM memory of your device, the registry, which contains the configuration data of your device and any programs installed in the RAM memory, is also backed up.
FSC Backup also provides you with the option of backing up and restoring single databases such as contacts, calendar or tasks as well as your connection settings. You will find information as to how
you proceed for this in the FSC Backup help file on your Pocket PC.
Before you start a backup, make sure that sufficient memory space is available on the memory card or in the device, and that the battery holds a sufficient charge. If the battery charge level is low, connect the PSC11R-050 power adapter to charge the battery.
When you conduct a backup, you may not carry out any other operating procedure before

Configuring the Pocket PC
You can already choose from a large number of programs when you use the Pocket PC for the first time. In addition, proven default settings are defined for the menu structure, energy management, memory management and security functions.
But, of course, you can add and remove programs and configure the Pocket PC as desired.
This chapter shows you how to
optimise the energy management of your Pocket PC
adjust the menus to your personal needs
use the security functions
change the time and use the alarm functions
For information on removing and adding programs, please refer to the documentation from the software manufacturer and the ActiveSync help file, that you can call at any time after installing ActiveSync on your notebook/PC.
We describe the configuration of the FSC SpeedMenu in the "Editing FSC SpeedMenu" chapter in this manual and in the FSC SpeedMenu help on your Pocket PC.
Optimising energy management
General information on energy management
The battery operating time is considerably dependent on the applications used. Please consider that a particularly large amount of energy is required to play sound files or make sound recordings. Therefore, if you want to work for up to 12 hours without a power connection, limit the use of energy­intensive applications.
Data exchange with a PC or notebook also consumes additional battery power. Therefore, always connect your Pocket PC to an electrical outlet during data exchange if possible.
We also recommend that you reduce the display brightness to effectively save energy and therefore appreciably increase the time you can work with the battery.

Connecting and networking the Pocket PC with other devices
The Pocket PC offers a wide range of ways to exchange data with other devices or to work in a network.
You have already become familiar with data synchronisation via ActiveSync and an ActiveSync cable
in the "Synchronising data with ActiveSync" section. You can connect the ActiveSync cable provided to any PC or notebook equipped with a USB port. An active ActiveSync cable for devices with a serial port is also available as an accessory.
In addition, the infrared interface, wireless LAN and Bluetooth are available for wireless communication. With various cards (available as accessories), you can integrate your Pocket PC in networks and establish a connection to the Internet.
This chapter provides you with information on wireless data transfer:
via infrared interface
via wireless LAN
– via Bluetooth
Observe the safety notes for devices with radio components in the "Safety" manual and in
i
the chapter "Important notes", section "Safety precautions when using radio components".
Wireless data transfer with infrared interface
The infrared interface (IrDA) permits wireless serial data transfer with up to 115 kbits/s.
For data transfer, you must align the infrared interface of your Pocket PC with that of the partner device. The devices must not be more than one metre apart. The infrared interface of one device must be in the range of influence (horizontally approx. 30 ° and vertically approx. 15 °) of the infrared interface of the other device.
The infrared interface is simultaneously a consumer infrared interface (CIR). The CIR interface can transmit over greater distances. As a result, you can also use the Pocket PC as a remote control with suitable software.
Wireless connection via Wireless LAN
Your Pocket PC is equipped with an integrated wireless LAN. Information on this topic is provided in the help file on your Pocket PC.
You can also activate and deactivate the integrated Wireless LAN just as you wish.

Connecting and networking the Pocket PC with other devices
Wireless communication with Bluetooth
With your Pocket PC with an integrated Bluetooth module you can communicate wirelessly with other Bluetooth devices, e.g. with another Pocket PC, a notebook or a mobile phone.
Your Pocket PC with integrated Bluetooth is a Power Class 2 device, i.e. it has a maximum range of 10 meters. The range of the communication paths is shortened depending on the user environment (e.g. walls or furniture), building structure and output power class of the partner.
Bluetooth supports many functions (Services), e.g. accessing the Internet and transmitting or
receiving data or e-mails.
In the following sections, you will find out how to put Bluetooth into operation.
The help file for the software on your Pocket PC explains how you operate the software concerned.
Selecting location for Bluetooth operation
We recommend that you use the Pocket PC with the Bluetooth components in a typical operating environment. Other Bluetooth devices, which you want to communicate with, should be located at a distance of up to 10 m.
Only install a partner device within the recommended distance. Observe the output power class of the partner device when doing so. Details are contained in the operating manual of the partner device.
Use the Pocket PC with the Bluetooth at least 2 m away from other electrical or electronic systems. If you must use the Pocket PC near a microwave cooker, then maintain a distance of at least 3 m from the microwave cooker, as the reception is subject to interference with regard to microwaves.
Should problems result when communicating via Bluetooth because radios or radio devices are located in the vicinity, then move the Pocket PC to a different location.
Activating and deactivating Bluetooth
You can switch Bluetooth on and off just as you wish. This enables you to also use your Pocket PC
wherever radio modules such as Bluetooth may not be operated, such as hospitals and aircraft (please also observe the safety precautions in the "Safety" manual on this point). Switch off Bluetooth at places like this. This will interrupt the Bluetooth connection.
Touch the Bluetooth symbol of the Today screen (the Bluetooth symbol is located on the right
in the bottom bar).
You can switch Bluetooth on and off here.
