name as well as from the character that appears after a space, dash, or
underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap number “2” which is
associated with [a, b, c] on the Phone keypad, contact names such as the
following will be considered matches: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “JohnCarter”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”, “Thomas_Clark”, “JaneCampbell”.
If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search further,
enter another letter. Using the same example above, if you continue to
tap “3” which is associated with [d, e, f], the matching list will be narrowed
down to the following names: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”,
“Dixon, Allan”.

4.1 Setting Up ActiveSync
Microsoft ActiveSync synchronizes information on your device with
information on your PC, such as Microsoft Outlook content. ActiveSync
can also synchronize over a wireless or cellular network with Microsoft
Exchange Server, if your company or service provider is running Microsoft
Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync.
Specifically, you can use ActiveSync to:
• Synchronize information such as Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar,
or Tasks information, as well as media files such as pictures, video, and
music between your device and your PC.
• Synchronize Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar appointments, and
Tasks on your device directly with Exchange Server so that you can
stay up-to-date even when your PC is turned off.
• Copy files between your device and your PC without synchronizing.
• Select which types of information are synchronized and specify how
much information is synchronized. For example, you can choose how
many weeks of past Calendar appointments to synchronize.
• Add and remove programs on your device. For details, see Chapter 5,
“Adding and Removing Programs.”
To install and set up ActiveSync on the computer
1. Install ActiveSync on your PC, as described in the Getting Started Disc.

4.2 Synchronizing Information
When you connect your device to the PC using a USB cable or a Bluetooth
connection, ActiveSync will immediately synchronize. While your device
is connected, ActiveSync synchronizes every time you make a change on
either the PC or your device.
To manually start and stop synchronization
1. Connect your device to the PC:
• To synchronize Outlook information and other local information
on the PC, including media files, connect your device to the PC
using Bluetooth or a USB cable.
• If you are synchronizing directly with Exchange Server, you can

you can synchronize without connecting to the PC over a cellular
network.
2. In ActiveSync, tap Sync. To end synchronization before it completes,
tap Stop.
Note ActiveSync 4.x utilizes a network type of connection with Windows Mobile
powered devices, since this allows faster data transfer than a serial USB
connection. When the PC is connected to the Internet or a local network, in
some cases, the PC may disconnect the ActiveSync connection with your
device in favor of the Internet or network connection. If this happens, tap
Start > Settings > Connections tab > USB to PC, then clear the Enable
advanced network functionality check box. This makes ActiveSync utilize a
serial USB connection with your device.
The USB to PC ( ) icon appears on the Today Screen when your device
is connected to your computer and you enable a serial USB connection
between them.
Synchronize Outlook information with the computer
If you have set up a synchronization relationship between your device and

device and PC.
You can also set up your device to synchronize with more than one PC
or with a combination of one or more PCs and Exchange Server. When
Page 71
Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security 71
synchronizing with multiple computers, the items that you synchronize
will appear on all of the computers with which they are synchronized. For
example, if you have set up synchronization with two PCs (PC1 and PC2),
which have different items, and you synchronize Contacts and Calendar on
your device with both computers, the result is as follows:
LocationNew state
PC1
PC2
Pocket PC
Phone
Note Outlook e-mail can be synchronized with only one computer.
All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC2
are now also on PC1.
All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC1
are now also on PC2.
All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments from both PC1
and PC2 are on your device.

5.2 Adding and Removing Programs
Before you purchase additional programs for your device, you should note
the model name of your device, the version of Windows Mobile software
running on it, and the type of processor. This information will help you
select a program that is compatible with your device. For more information,
see “To get detailed device information” and “To find the operating system
version number” in this chapter.
Programs available for purchase usually include a Setup program
(commonly named "setup.exe") that you must first run on your PC. You can
then use ActiveSync to add programs to your device, or add a program
directly from the Internet.
To add programs
1. Download the program to your PC (or insert the disc that contains the
program into your PC). You may see a single *.exe file, a *.zip file, a
Setup.exe file, or several versions of files for different device types and
processors. Be sure to select a program designed for your device and
processor type.
2. Read any installation instructions or documentation that comes with
the program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.
3. Connect your device to the PC.
4. Double-click the *.exe file.
• If the executable file is an installation wizard, follow the
instructions on the screen. The wizard will automatically install the
program to your device.
• If an installation wizard does not start, you will see an error
message stating that the program is valid but that it is designed
for a different type of computer. You will need to copy this
program directly to your device. If you cannot find any installation
instructions for the program, use ActiveSync to copy the program
file to the Program Files folder on your device.

5.7 Resetting Your Pocket PC Phone
Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A normal (or soft) reset
of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all
active programs. This can be useful when your device is running slower
than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft reset is
also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is
performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost.
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard
reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system
problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings —
the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs
you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your
device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed
programs will remain.
To perform a soft reset
• Use the stylus to press the RESET button found on the back of the
device. Your device restarts and displays the Today screen.
