Page 10

Reset the Pocket PC Phone and Clear Memory

You can perform a soft reset or a full reset – a soft reset restarts your device and a full reset switches the battery off. The result of a soft reset is that some data may be lost in programs that are open, however, the result of a full reset is that power is cut, and this will wipe all the data and new programs you have added, and return the device to factory setting – i.e. it will only have the software that was present when you bought it. On this basis, it is important not to think about a full reset as you would restarting, shutting down or even switching off improperly your desktop, but rather like a complete crash requiring you having to wipe your OS. It cannot be stressed enough the importance of backing up data to a SD card (for more information on SD cards, see “SD and MMC cards” in the Pocket PC Phone User Manual, P.12) or your PC so in the event you have to perform a full reset your data will not be lost.

To perform a soft reset:

If your Pocket PC Phone responds slowly stops responding or freezes, try soft resetting it. A soft reset causes the Pocket PC Phone to restart and re-adjust memory allocation. Unsaved data in open windows may be lost.

• Use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button. (For details on finding soft reset, see, “Chapter 2, Bottom

Edge Components.”)

To perform a full reset:

A full device reset clears memory, deletes all data and restores the Pocket PC Phone to its default settings. Programs installed at the factory remain, while data you have created and programs you have installed are erased.

1. Unscrew the stylus and use the smaller point of the top-half.

2. Press the battery switch once to turn it off, and then once more to turn it back on.

Transferring and Organizing Contacts

Before you make any calls you may want to transfer contacts to your device and organize them so that they are easy to access – Your device is designed to allow you to make a call in five different ways, and to transfer contact details between dialing features - as well as your device’s memory, the SIM card and a desktop computer.

Page 13

Transferring Contacts From SIM:

If you previously used your SIM with another device, or your mobile service provider transferred your old SIM contact details to your new SIM, it is recommended that you transfer the numbers to Microsoft Contacts:

• Microsoft Contacts has a much more sophisticated system for organizing and finding contact details than the

SIM program, SIM Manager.

• Through Microsoft Contacts you can create a more detailed record, send SMS, email, synchronize with your

desktop and transfer to Speed Dial.

• With Microsoft Contacts you can backup your contacts in the event you lost either your device or your SIM.

1. Tap Start, Programs, SIM Manager (wait for SIM contents to load). Either:

Tap Tools, Select All, and then Save to Contacts.

Or:

Press and hold the center of the navigation pad – or tap and hold a

contact from the list - and then select Save to Contacts from the pop up menu.

Transferring Contacts from Your Desktop

If you previously backed up contact details to your desktop, you will want to perform a synchronization to transfer those contacts to your Pocket PC Phone. For more information on synchronizing with your computer, see the User Manual, “Chapter 7: Microsoft ActiveSync”.

Organizing Your Contacts

You can transfer up to 99 of your most commonly dialed numbers to the Speed Dial feature, which allows you to access and dial these numbers quickly and easily.

“m” should now be in the right column next to the contact.

To make a call from Speed Dial (A):

Speed dial is a list you can create of often-dialed numbers. Information on

adding a number to Speed Dial is detailed later in this chapter.

By memorizing the position in the Speed Dial list of a number, you can dial the number by entering its position number. For example:
