Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing an iQue information up-to-date and close at hand. Microsoft synchronize the information on your desktop or laptop computer with your device. Picture yourself in the following situations:

• While you are walking with a colleague, your cell phone rings, and your manager 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 device and instantly see a list of today’s appointments and meetings. You are quickly able to tell your manager your available times. For more information on scheduling appointments and meetings, see Chapter 3.

• You are 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 device. At dinner, you pull out your iQue M5 and review your movie options with your friends. For more information on downloading Web pages to your device, see Chapter 7.

• A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab your iQue M5 and catch the bus just in time. Because ActiveSync keeps the information on your device up-to-date, 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 2.

Getting Started: Entering Information on Your iQue M5

Try these tips for 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 the device can easily tell where words begin and end.

• Note that hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.

• Note that you cannot change words that have already been recognized by writing over them with the stylus.

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, whereas writing cannot.

To create a drawing, select the Pen icon Subsequent strokes inside or touching the drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings that do not cross three ruled lines will be treated as writing.

To edit a drawing:

1. Tap and hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection handle (looks like a “+”) appears.

2. Drag the selection handle to select the drawing.

3. Tap and drag to move the drawing.

4. Tap the Edit menu or tap and hold on the drawing to cut, copy, or paste the drawing.

and simply cross three ruled lines on your ﬁrst stroke. A drawing box appears.

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, Contacts, and Tasks, 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 Messaging, you can add a recording to an e-mail message.

ActiveSync: Choosing What Data to Synchronize

CHAPTER 2: ACTIVESYNC

Introduction

Using Microsoft® ActiveSync®, you can synchronize the information on your desktop computer with the information on your iQue M5. Synchronization compares the data on your iQue M5 with your desktop computer and updates both computers with the most recent information.

With ActiveSync, you can manage what information is stored on your iQue M5:

• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized.

• Control when synchronization happens.

• Copy (rather than synchronize) ﬁles between your device and desktop computer.

• Add or remove programs.

• Back up and restore data.

• Synchronize remotely or with an Exchange server.

You should have already installed ActiveSync on your desktop computer and synchronized for the ﬁrst time. If you have not done this, please refer to the Setup Guide included with the Setup CD for instructions.

Choosing What Data to Synchronize

Because your iQue M5 has a limited amount of storage space (64 MB RAM), we recommend that you limit the amount of information you synchronize or store. For example, you can limit the number of Calendar appointments you synchronize between your desktop and your iQue M5 to save storage space. You can change these settings on your desktop computer.

To change what types of information to synchronize:

1. Open Microsoft ActiveSync on your desktop computer.

2. Click

3. Click to check the box next to each type of information you want to

4. Click OK.

To limit how much information is synchronized:

1. From ActiveSync on your desktop computer, click Options.

2. Click to highlight

3. Click

4. Check options to limit how many appointments you want to

5. Repeat for each type of information you synchronize.

6. Click

Moving Files between Your Desktop Computer and iQue M5

You may want to move ﬁles or folders between your desktop and your iQue M5 without having to synchronize that information. This works well for ﬁles you do not need to update or for ﬁles that you cannot synchronize, like pictures. Moving ﬁles and folders onto your iQue M5 is just like moving them from one location to another on your personal computer. For more help, refer to your desktop computer help ﬁles.

NOTE: You may have trouble transferring large ﬁles (> 50 MB) to your SD card. This is best done with a separate data

card reader, rather than transferring them directly to the card in your iQue M5.

To move ﬁles or folders:

1. Open ActiveSync on your desktop computer.

2. Click Explore. This window shows all ﬁles and folders stored on your iQue M5.

3. To move ﬁles to your iQue M5, click and drag ﬁles or folders from your desktop computer to this window. You can

also Cut, Copy, and Paste to move ﬁles.

4. To move ﬁles to your desktop computer, click and drag ﬁles or folders from this window to your desktop computer.

You can also Cut, Copy, and Paste.

NOTE: ActiveSync may ned to convert ﬁles when synchronizing between your mobile device and the desktop computer. A

converted ﬁle may not contain all the information found in the original ﬁle.

ActiveSync: Adding and Removing Programs

Adding and Removing Programs

Programs added to your iQue M5 at the factory are stored in ROM (read-only memory). You cannot remove this software, and you will never accidentally lose ROM contents. All other programs and data ﬁles added to your device after factory installation are stored in RAM (random access memory), including any software you load from your iQue M5 setup CD.

ActiveSync: Backing Up Files and Settings

Backing Up Files and Settings

It is important to back up your iQue M5 ﬁles and settings periodically. When you back up ﬁles with ActiveSync, you will store an “image” of what ﬁles, folders, and settings are like on your iQue M5. Then, if you lose data for some reason, you can iQue to the last “image” you saved.

You can also back up ﬁles and settings on an SD card or in safe storage on your iQue M5. To do so, use

To back up ﬁles and settings:

1. Open ActiveSync on your desktop computer.

2. From the Tools menu, choose Backup/Restore.

3. Choose whether you want to do a full backup (saves all information) or an incremental backup (saves any information that has changed since last backup).

4. Choose where you want to save the back up ﬁle. If you want to back up your iQue M5 each time you synchronize, check the box next to “Automatically back up each time the device connects.”

5. Click Back Up Now.

NOTE: Do not use your iQue M5 before you are ﬁnished backing up ﬁles. If you do, the back up process may fail.

To restore your iQue M5 to the last backup state:

1. Open ActiveSync on your desktop computer.

2. From the Tools menu, choose Backup/Restore. Click the Restore tab.

3. Click

Restore Now.

ActiveSync: Synchronizing with an Exchange Server

Synchronizing with an Exchange Server

If your company has installed Microsoft Exchange Server with Exchange Server ActiveSync, you can synchronize between your iQue M5 and a server. Note that you can only synchronize with a server or with your desktop computer, not both.

For more information on setting up and synchronizing with an Exchange server, refer to the ActiveSync help ﬁles on your desktop (with ActiveSync open, press F1 on your keyboard or choose Microsoft ActiveSync Help from the Help menu).

Synchronizing Remotely with Infrared

If you have a desktop or laptop with an Infrared (IR) port, you can synchronize remotely with IR. Make sure IR ports on your computer and your iQue M5 are lined up with no objects between them.

To synchronize remotely with IR:

1. Tap and then ActiveSync on your iQue M5.

2. Tap Tools and then Connect via IR. ActiveSync will automatically make the IR connection.

Synchronizing after Restoring from Sprite Backup

When you try to synchronize your iQue M5 with your personal computer after restoring data from a Sprite Backup operation, you may receive a message like this: “The following information type on your mobile device has items that have not been synchronized with this computer before.” This message is expected and unavoidable, even though you have already synchronized data with your computer in the past. Choose Combine to add the information on your PC to that on your iQue M5. Replace removes all entries from your iQue M5 and resynchronizes everything. In most cases, we recommend that you choose Combine; if you choose Replace, you may important delete information that you just restored from Sprite Backup.
