2.2.2 Resuming
Use one of the following methods to resume (wake up the PDA):
Press < On/Off > key to suspend or resume (wake up).
Put the PDA into a dock or connect to data cable.
When a battery pack completely discharges while the unit is in suspend mode, the PDA
remains suspended until the discharged battery is changed or PDA is connected to charger.
Prior to using the PDA for the first time, you MUST charge the battery pack. The initial
charging cycle for both the battery pack and back-up battery takes approximately
thirteen (13) hours. Subsequent charging cycles take four (4) hours.
If you remove the battery pack or it completely discharges, there is a 2 hour window in
which to insert a charged battery pack before the backup battery completely discharges. If
your backup battery completely discharges, the contents of the RAM memory will be lost. If
your backup battery is less than fully charged, there is proportionally smaller window of time
available.
Use only the batteries, charger and cradle supplied by a POINT MOBILE or POINT MOBILE
dealer. The use of other battery supplies can damage the PDA and void your warranty. For
the correct supplies for the O5100, please contact your POINT MOBILE reseller.

could cause damage to the eye.
Always charge the battery pack within the temperature range of 32°-113°F (0°-45°C).
Do not place the battery pack in microwave ovens, high-pressure containers or on induction
cookware.
Immediately discontinue use of the battery pack if, while using, charging or storing the
battery, it emits an unusual smell, feels hot, changes color or shape, or appears abnormal in
any other way.
Do not place the battery pack in or near fire, on stoves or other high temperature locations.
Do not place the battery pack in direct sunlight or use or store the battery pack inside cars in
hot weather. Doing so may cause the battery pack to generate heat, explode or ignite.
Using the battery pack in this manner may also result in a loss of performance and a
shortened life expectancy.
POINT MOBILE recommends annual replacement of rechargeable battery packs to ensure
maximum performance.
Replace the battery pack only with one sold by a POINT MOBILE reseller.
When the battery is worn out, insulate the battery contacts with adhesive tape or a similar
material prior to disposal.

Microsoft® ActiveSync is a file transfer tool to synchronize the files on a PC with the files on
your PDA. O5100 comes from the factory with ActiveSync loaded.
If you have ActiveSync already installed on your PC, make sure that you have v4.5 or
higher.
To install Microsoft® ActiveSync, complete the following steps on the PC:
1. Download ActiveSync from Microsoft® Windows CE .NET website:
During the Microsoft ActiveSync installation, you were prompted to create a partnership with
your mobile device. When you set up a partnership, you select synchronization and file
conversion settings, which are contained in a file on your desktop computer. This file
enables your desktop computer to recognize your device. Only devices that have a
partnership with a desktop computer can synchronize information between the two
computers.
Partnerships are stored in ActiveSync and have the same name as the corresponding
device. Your desktop computer can set up partnerships with many different mobile devices,
but a device can have partnerships with only two computers.
For more information on partnerships, please refer to your Microsoft ActiveSync
documentation or help file.
To transfer files, complete the following steps on the host PC:
Transferring Files
Select Start > Programs > Microsoft ActiveSync.
Double-click on the ActiveSync icon in the System Tool Tray.
After you have established a connection with your PDA, click on the Explore button at the
top of the ActiveSync window (or select Explore from the File menu).
Navigate to the target directory on your portable and copy the desired file by using the
Copy/Paste method or dragging and dropping the desired file(s) into the folder.
Depending on the file type, ActiveSync may convert the file into a format appropriate for the
Windows CE .NET device.
Place the file to be synchronized in the Synchronization folder created in your My
Documents directory. During the ActiveSync connection, all files in the Synchronization
folder will be synchronized to the \My Documents directory on the O5100.
2. Check if This is an ad hoc network.
Ad hoc is a network connection method when
connection is established for the duration of one
session and requires no base station. Instead,
devices discover others within range to form a
network for those computers. Devices may
search for target nodes that are out of range by
flooding the network with broadcasts that are
forwarded by each node.
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA and WPA2) is a class of systems to secure wireless (Wi-Fi)
computer networks. It was created in response to several serious weaknesses found in the
previous system, Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP). WPA implements the majority of the
IEEE 802.11i standard, and was intended as an intermediate measure to take the place of
WEP while 802.11i was prepared. WPA is designed to work with all wireless network
interface cards, but not necessarily with first generation wireless access points. WPA2
implements the full standard, but will not work with some older network cards.
Pre-shared key mode (PSK, also known as personal mode) is designed for networks
without of an 802.1X authentication server. Each user must enter a passphrase to access
the network. The pass phrase may be from 8 to 63 printable ASCII characters or 64
hexadecimal digits (256 bits). The pass phrase may be stored on the user's computer at
their discretion under most operating systems to avoid re-entry. The pass phrase must
remain stored in the Wi-Fi access point.
5. Enter Network key (network passphrase/ password) and if needed Key index.
6. Select EAP type
Extensible Authentication Protocol, or EAP, is a universal authentication framework
frequently used in wireless networks and Point-to-Point connections.
TLS - Transport Layer Security
PEAP - Protected Extensible Authentication Protocol, Protected EAP, or simply PEAP, is a
method to securely transmit authentication information, including passwords, over wired or
wireless networks.
