your service provider for a replacement SIM card. There may be fees for this
service.

Your device contains a rechargeable Li-ion polymer battery. This device
is designed to use only manufacturer-specified original batteries and
accessories. Battery performance depends on many factors, including
your wireless service provider’s network configuration, signal strength, the
temperature of the environment in which you operate your device, the

ports, and your voice, data, and other program usage patterns.

Battery life estimates (approximations):

• Standby time: Up to 150 - 200 hours for GSM.

• Talk time: Up to 3.5 - 5 hours for GSM.

• Media playback time: Up to 8 hours for WMV;

Up to 12 hours for WMA.

History.

• Enter the first three digits or more if you want to find a phone number

from the saved contacts on your device and SIM card.

To find a contact name

You can just enter the first letter of a contact’s first name or surname. Smart
Dialing will search for the letter starting from the first character of a contact
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”.

4.2 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

use this connection to the PC to "pass through" to the network, or
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
the PC, synchronization keeps Outlook information up-to-date on both your
device and PC.

Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security 61

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
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:

Location New state

PC1

All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC2
are now also on PC1.

PC2

All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC1
are now also on PC2.

Pocket PC
Phone

All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments from both PC1
and PC2 are on your device.

Note Outlook e-mail can be synchronized with only one computer.

To change which information is synchronized

ActiveSync synchronizes a limited amount of information by default to save
storage space on your device. You can change the amount of information
that is synchronized by performing the following steps.

Note Before changing synchronization settings on your device, disconnect it from

your PC.

1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Options.

2. Do one or both of the following:

• Select the check box for any items you want to synchronize. If you

cannot select a check box, you might have to clear the check box
for the same information type elsewhere in the list.

Schedule synchronization with Exchange Server

You can schedule information to be synchronized automatically between
your device and the Exchange Server, or schedule synchronization at
regular time intervals. Choose between these two methods, depending on
your e-mail volume and which method you think is more cost-effective.

To receive e-mails and synchronize other information instantly

Direct Push technology (push e-mail feature) enables you to receive new

e-mails on your device as soon as they arrive in your Inbox on the Exchange
Server. With this feature, items such as contacts, calendar and tasks are
also immediately updated onto your device when these items have been
changed or new entries have been added on the Exchange Server. To make
Direct Push work, you need to have a GPRS connection on your device.

The Direct Push feature works for your device only if it is connected to
a private network (corporate network) that is using Microsoft Exchange
Server Service Pack 2 (SP2) with Exchange ActiveSync. You need to perform
a full synchronization between your device and the Exchange Server first
before Direct Push can be enabled.

• Using ActiveSync to enable Direct Push

1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Schedule.

2. Select As items arrive in the Peak times and Off-peak times boxes.

64 Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security

• Using Comm Manager to enable Direct Push

1. On the Today screen, tap the Comm Manager icon ( ).

2. On the Comm Manager screen, tap the Microsoft Direct Push

button. The button will turn to , which indicates that
you will receive e-mails as they arrive.

When the button is in the state, you need to manually

retrieve your e-mails.

Note When both the GPRS and Wi-Fi connections are turned on at the same time,

the Direct Push feature will always opt for GPRS, for which you could be
charged per your network operator’s service plan.

To schedule synchronization at regular time intervals

You can set how often to synchronize during Peak times (which usually
refer to your working hours) when e-mail volume is high, as well as Off-

peak times when e-mail volume is low.

1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Schedule.

2. Select a shorter time interval in the Peak times box for you to be able

to receive e-mails more frequently.

3. Select a longer interval in the Off-peak times box.

Tip To set the days and hours that make up your peak and off-peak times, tap

Adjust peak times to fit your schedule.

4.5 Setting Up E-mail Security

Windows Mobile on your device protects your Outlook e-mails through
Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (S/MIME), which allows you to
digitally sign your messages as well as encrypt them.

Using authorization keys and certificates, S/MIME allows you to digitally
sign your e-mail messages to prove your identity to the recipients.
Authorization keys are also used when encrypting messages to improve
privacy and prevent undue tampering or hacking of your messages. You
can encrypt a message with or without a certificate. However, to read an
encrypted message, you need a valid certificate to decrypt it.

Note S/MIME encryption and digital signatures for Windows Mobile-based devices

are available only with Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 or a later version
that supports S/MIME. If you are not using one of these products, or have not
yet synchronized, these options are unavailable.

Digitally sign and encrypt all messages

ActiveSync allows you to set up S/MIME e-mail encryption and signing.
You must obtain a valid certificate to sign and encrypt e-mail messages
successfully.

1. Tap Start > Programs > ActiveSync.

2. Tap Menu > Options.

3. Select the E-mail information type, and tap Settings. On the E-mail

Sync Options screen, tap Advanced.

check box.

• To encrypt all your outgoing e-mail messages so that the

contents of your messages are protected from being viewed by
anyone other than the intended recipients, select the Encrypt all

outgoing e-mail messages check box.

5. Tap Choose Certificate to select a certificate for signing or

encrypting outgoing e-mail messages.

You can select certificates to sign or encrypt e-mail messages

individually if you do not choose to sign or encrypt all outgoing
e-mail. For information about signing and encrypting individual

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 middle left side
of your device. Your device restarts
and displays the Today screen.

RESET button

To perform a hard reset

1. Press and hold the left SOFT KEY and the right SOFT KEY, and at the

same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the middle left
side of your device.

2. Release the stylus, but continue pressing the two SOFT KEYs until you

see the following message on the screen:

press other keys to cancel.

3. Release the two SOFT KEYs, and then press the button on your

device.

Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any

additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before
a hard reset is performed.

6.4 Using Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices
with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information within a distance
of about 10 meters without requiring a physical connection. You can even
beam information to a device in a different room, as long as it is within the
Bluetooth signal coverage range.

Bluetooth can be used in the following ways:

• Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and contact

cards, between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.

• Synchronize information between your device and computer via

Bluetooth.

• Use a Bluetooth-enabled headset (or other Bluetooth-enabled hands-

free device such as a car kit) with your device for hands-free phone
conversations.

• Use a Bluetooth service. Once you connect to another device or

computer using Bluetooth, you can locate and use any of the services
available on that device.

• Create a connection between your device and another Bluetooth-

enabled phone to use that phone as a modem.

Note Normally, you will need another phone as a modem only if your Pocket PC

device has no integrated phone capability.

Bluetooth modes

Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:

• On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetooth-

enabled devices, but not vice versa.

• Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send

nor receive information using Bluetooth. You might want to turn
Bluetooth off at times in order to conserve battery power, or in
situations where using a wireless device is prohibited, such as on
board an aircraft and in hospitals.

• Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled

devices can detect your device.

98 Getting Connected

Note By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, then turn off your device,

Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your device again, Bluetooth
automatically turns on.

Bluetooth partnerships

A Bluetooth partnership is a relationship that you create between your
device and another Bluetooth-enabled device in order to exchange
information in a secure manner. Creating a partnership between two
devices involves entering the same Bluetooth passcode on both devices.

Creating a partnership between two devices is a one-time process. Once
a partnership is created, the devices can recognize the partnership and
exchange information without entering a passcode again. Make sure that
on the two devices, Bluetooth is turned on and in visible mode.

To create a Bluetooth partnership

1. On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab >

Bluetooth.

2. On the Devices tab, tap Add new device. Your device searches for

other Bluetooth devices and displays them in the box.
