Resetting the iQue M3
You may need to reset your device if it stops responding to stylus taps or button presses or if it stops functioning normally. A “soft”
reset is much like rebooting your personal computer.
To reset your device (soft):
Use the stylus to press and quickly release the Reset button on the bottom of your device.
A “hard” reset erases all entries, records, and settings in your device (erases all data stored in RAM).
IMPORTANT: Use a hard reset only if your device malfunctions severely or if a soft reset does not correct your problem.
To reset your device (hard):
1. Press and hold the REC and Contacts buttons while you press the Reset button with the stylus.
2. Release the Reset button first. Then release the REC and Contact buttons. A blue screen appears asking “Delete all your programs,
data, and settings in memory?”
3. Press the Que button to select Yes or the Calendar button to select No. If you select Yes, another question appears: “Also delete all
your permanent storage?” Select Yes to delete contacts, appointments, and other PIM data. The iQue M3 resets itself.
If other reset methods fail, use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button for approximately 8 seconds. Your device turns on
automatically after you release the Reset button and starts as normal. This method of resetting automatically deletes all user data.
The Today Screen
When you turn on your device for the first time each day, the Today screen appears. You can also display it by tapping (Start)
and then Today. On the Today screen, you can see important information for the day at a glance.

USING ACTIVESYNC > CHOOSING WHAT DATATO SYNCHRONIZE
CHAPTER 2: USING ACTIVESYNC
Using Microsoft® ActiveSync®, you can synchronize the information on your desktop computer with the information on your iQue
M3. When you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the data on your iQue M3 with your desktop computer and updates both with the
most recent information.
Use ActiveSync to manage the information stored on your iQue M3:
• Select the information types you want to synchronize and control how much data you synchronize.
• 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, refer to the Setup Guide included with the Companion DVD-ROM for instructions.
Choosing What Data to Synchronize
Because your iQue M3 has a limited amount of storage space, 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 M3 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. Then click Options.
2. Click to check the box next to each type of information you want to share between your desktop computer and your iQue M3.
3. Click OK.
To limit how much information is synchronized:
1. From ActiveSync on your desktop computer, click Options.
2. Click Calendar in the list of programs. Then click Settings. Check options to limit how many appointments you synchronize. When
finished, click OK.
3. Repeat for each type of information you synchronize.
4. Click OK.
Customize your ActiveSync settings by clicking Options.
9iQue® M3 Operating Instructions
USING ACTIVESYNC > CHOOSING WHENTO SYNCHRONIZEAND MOVING FILES
Choosing When to Synchronize
You can control how often your device synchronizes information by changing settings in ActiveSync on your desktop computer.
To change when synchronization happens:
1. Open Microsoft ActiveSync on your desktop computer.
2. Click Options and then the Schedule tab.
3. Click to choose how often you would like to synchronize information. If you choose “Synchronize manually,” you must open ActiveSync
and click Sync each time you want to synchronize data.
4. Click OK.
Select a menu option to control how often you synchronize.
Moving Files
You may want to move files or folders between your desktop and your iQue M3 without having to synchronize that information.
This method 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 M3 or SD card 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. If so, you may need to use a separate
data card reader, rather than transferring files directly to your SD card in your iQue M3.
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 M3.
3. To move files to your iQue M3, 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 need 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.
