Using the Stylus
Your iPAQ Pocket PC comes with a stylus that you should use to
tap or write on your screen.

item across the screen without lifting the stylus until you have
completed the selection. Dragging is equivalent to pressing the
Shift key while dragging your personal computer mouse with the
mouse button pressed.

Using ActiveSync
If you select to synchronize files, you can drag and drop the
✎
selected files from your computer to the synchronized folder on
your iPAQ Pocket PC. If you named your device “PC1” when you

“PC1.” When you synchronize, the files move to your iPAQ
Pocket PC.
To install Microsoft ActiveSync on your personal computer:
1. Insert the Companion CD into the CD tray or slot on your
personal computer.
2. Select the link to install Microsoft ActiveSync.
3. Follow the instructions in the installation wizard. For more
help, click the ActiveSync Help button during installation.
The information you select automatically synchronizes when
your installation is complete.
4. After installing ActiveSync on your personal computer,

the USB Synchronization Cradle/Charger.
Using the Serial Infrared (IR) Connection
After setting up a connection with the USB connector on the
USB Synchronization Cradle/Charger, you can synchronize your
iPAQ Pocket PC and your personal computer using an infrared
connection if you have an infrared port or an infrared USB
adapter installed on your computer. The infrared connection
option works only on computers that have Microsoft Windows
98SE, Me, 2000, or XP operating systems installed.
User’s Guide 2–3
Using ActiveSync

Managing the Battery
Installing the Battery
If you remove the main battery from your iPAQ Pocket PC,
your device does not operate even if you try to use AC power.
However, the Pocket PC has a small internal backup battery that
allows you to change the main battery without losing RAM data
(user-installed programs and data) as long as it is replaced within
10 minutes. If the battery is removed from the unit for longer
than 10 minutes, you will lose unsaved RAM data and need to
reset the unit.
It is recommended that you fully charge the iPAQ Pocket PC
battery before setting up the unit, and recharge regularly. Your
Pocket PC uses some power to maintain files in RAM and the
clock. While working at your desk, keep the Pocket PC connected
to the USB Synchronization Cradle/Charger. When traveling, it is
recommended that you carry the AC Adapter, Charger Adapter
plug, or an optional spare battery with you.

Your iPAQ Pocket PC is shipped with the battery partially

Removing the Battery
To remove the battery from the iPAQ Pocket PC, lift the left side

them if the battery completely discharges or if the battery is removed
from the unit for extended periods of time.
You do not need to reinstall applications and data installed in the
