the lens.

2-3

Cautions When Using the Built-in Camera

• About handling the built-in camera

• The amount of time it takes for brightness to stabilize differs depending on

the temperature of the surrounding area. Please wait until the brightness
stabilizes.

• Do not point the lens towards the sun. Color may be lost and an image of
the sun may be burnt into the screen.

• Important points when recording

• When using the device in dark places, the display screen will appear grainy,

but this is not a malfunction.

• When recording moving subjects, the shapes may appear distorted, but this
is not a malfunction.

• You may see a single frame at a time, but this is not a malfunction.

• If you point the lens toward a TV picture tube or PC display, you will see

horizontal bands on the screen. Further, you will see horizontal bands on
the recorded image, but this is not a malfunction.

• The filament of an incandescent light bulb may appear black, especially in
bright areas, but this is not a malfunction.

• When the scene suddenly moves from a dark subject to a bright subject (or
vice versa), it takes a few seconds for the screen to return to normal.

• When recording movies, hold the device as steady as possible. If you shake
the device, noise may enter the recording.

• Condensation

• When this device is suddenly moved from a cold place to a hot one, water

drops (condensation) form on the inside and outside of the device due to the
difference in temperature. Each situation is different, but leave the device for
approximately 1 hour before using to let it adjust to the surrounding
temperature.

• Blurring

• If your hand moves while pressing the shutter during recording, you will

cause the image to blur and the captured photograph may become
disrupted. Make sure you hold the device so that the subject appearing on
the device’s screen does not move during recording.

• Focusing

• You do not need to adjust the focus. As long as you are more than 26 cm

(approx. 8.8 in) from the subject, it will be in focus.

• Subjects that produce infrared rays

• When recording subjects that produce infrared rays, such as stoves, the

color may not record properly. In this case, recorded images are saved in
the colors they appear on the device’s screen.

2-4

Replacing the Battery Pack

The battery pack is a consumable. When it discharges quickly after charging, the
battery pack is exhausted. Replace it with a new battery pack (PN:871-012-010).

Caution:

• Make sure you use a battery pack (PN:871-012-010) that is designed for use
with this device. Other battery packs may cause fire or result in data loss.

• When replacing the battery pack, make sure two backup batteries (for data
backup) are installed. If you remove both the battery pack and the backup
batteries, you will lose all of your data and settings.

1. Confirm that backup batteries are installed and that they are working.

You can confirm the remaining life of the lithium battery (backup batteries) in
Power management on the control panel.

2. Turn off the power and wait approximately 3 seconds.

3. Open the display slightly, then turn the device upside down.

Note:

You cannot replace the battery pack if the display is closed (locked).

4. Slide the lock switches to the

position.

5. Remove the battery pack from the device.

2-5

6. Align the new battery pack with the rails on the device and insert it, making

sure you keep it straight.

7. Slide the lock switches to the position. If the lock switches will not move,

reinsert the battery pack.

8. Turn on the power to the device and confirm that it is operating normally.

Replacing the Backup Battery

When the backup batteries for data backup are exhausted and the message
prompting you to replace them is displayed, replace them with two new type
CR2032 lithium batteries. If the low battery warnings for the backup batteries and
the main battery are both displayed at the same time, replace the backup batteries
after you have recharged the battery pack (main battery).

Caution:

• Make sure you use two type CR2032 lithium batteries. Other types of lithium
batteries may cause fire or harm data.

• Replace both backup batteries with new ones at the same time.

• When replacing backup batteries, make sure the battery pack is installed. If you

remove both the battery pack and the backup battery, you will lose all of your
data.

• Before replacing backup batteries, back up all data to a PC or memory card.

• In order to discharge static electricity stored in your body, touch a metal object

with your hands before you start to replace the batteries.

1. Confirm that the battery pack is installed and that it is working.

Confirm battery pack (main battery) life in Power management on the control

computer with the information on your device. Synchronization is the process of
comparing the data on your device with your desktop computer and updating both
computers with the most recent information. For example:

• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your mobile device with

your choice of Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Schedule+, or Microsoft Exchange on
your desktop computer.

• Synchronize Word and Excel documents, Access and other ODBC databases

and tables, and InkWriter documents between your device and desktop
computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.

With ActiveSync, you can also:

• Back up and restore your device data

• Add and remove programs on your device.

• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and your desktop

computer.

For further information, please refer to the Microsoft ActiveSync Help.

Chapter 5:
Microsoft Office Companion Programs

a)5

The Microsoft Office companion programs consist of Microsoft Pocket Word,
Microsoft Pocket Excel, Microsoft Pocket Access, and Microsoft Pocket
PowerPoint. These programs work with the Windows versions of the same
programs on your desktop computer to give you easy access to up-to-date copies
of your documents. You can create or edit Excel and Word files, PowerPoint
presentation notes, and Access databases and tables on your device. Word and
Excel templates are available to help you quickly create documents. Once you
have created or edited a document, synchronize it with your desktop computer to
copy the new document, or changes you’ve made to the existing document, to your
desktop computer. For more information on synchronization, see ActiveSync Help
on the desktop computer.

You can access the Office companion programs by selecting Start, Programs,

Office, and then the program you want to open.

Tip: More information on the procedures described in this chapter, as

well as information on additional procedures, can be found in online
Help on the device. Select Start, Help, and then the program you want
information on. Because programs work in similar ways to their
counterparts on the desktop computer, online Help covers basic
procedures and the differences between the companion programs and
desktop programs. If you need more information on using an Office
program, see the documentation that came with the desktop version of
the program.

Pocket Word: Creating Documents

You can use Pocket Word to create documents, such as letters, meeting minutes,
and trip reports. You can also use Pocket Word to open and edit documents
created in the desktop version of Word. When you are ready to save a document
you created or edited, you can save it in a variety of formats, including Pocket
Word (.pwd) and Word (.doc). If you plan to send the document through e-mail to
someone who will be using Word, not Pocket Word, be sure to save it in the Word
(.doc) format.

To type text in Pocket Word, tap or click the screen to place the insertion point and
start typing. Use the spelling checker to verify accuracy. You can quickly format the
text, using buttons and menu commands. You can format as you go or apply
formatting later.

5-1

You can type text in either Outline view or Normal view, and you can easily switch
from one view to the other, using the View menu. Work in Outline view when taking
notes in meetings; use headings to highlight the main points and body text to add

Pocket Excel: Creating Workbooks

You can use Pocket Excel to create workbooks, such as expense reports and
mileage logs. You can also use Pocket Excel to open and edit workbooks created
in the desktop version of Excel. When you are ready to save a workbook you
created or edited, you can save it in a variety of formats, including Pocket Excel
(.pxl) and Excel (.xls). If you plan to send the document through e-mail to someone
who will be using Excel, not Pocket Excel, be sure to save it in the Excel (.xls)
format.

Pocket Excel provides fundamental spreadsheet tools, such as formulas, functions,
sorting, and filtering. You can split panes to easily view different areas of a large
worksheet. You can also “freeze” the top and leftmost panes in a worksheet to
keep row and column labels or other data visible as you scroll through a sheet.

5-3

To log travel expenses using Pocket Excel:

1. Select File, New, and then Workbook from Template.

2. Select Expense Report and then OK.

3. Select File and then Save.

4. Enter a name, choose a storage location, and then select OK.

5. Replace the text in the template.

Tip: If your workbook contains sensitive information, you can protect it
with a password. To do so, open the workbook, select File, and then
Password. Every time you open the workbook, you will need to enter
the password, so pick one that is easy for you to remember but hard for
others to guess. Workbooks with password protection cannot be
synchronized.

Pocket Access: Viewing and Creating Data

Use Pocket Access to view and update data derived from Microsoft Access,
Microsoft SQL Server, and other ODBC databases you have created on the
desktop computer. Simply create the database on your desktop computer and then
transfer the data to your device. For example, a sales organization might use
Access on the desktop computer to create a master database of products and
order forms. The sales force can synchronize their devices with the master
database to get up-to-date product information and to upload completed client
order information. For more information on synchronizing, see ActiveSync Help on
the desktop computer.

You can also use Pocket Access to create new databases, tables, and SQL
procedures directly on your device.

Tip: Programmers can use Microsoft ActiveX® Data Objects for
Windows CE (ADOCE) and Microsoft Visual Basic® or Microsoft Visual
C++® to develop custom database solutions. For more information, see

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsce/.

5-4

To create a new database and table on the device:

the Memo data type.

• To enter numbers with decimal points, select the Float data type.

• To enter numbers between -32,768 and +32,767, select the Integer data

type.

• To enter smaller numbers, select the Small Integer data type.

5-5

6. To set the size limit of a field, enter an amount in the Field Size box. A field's

size cannot be changed after the table is saved.

7. To index the field, select Yes from the Indexed list. Indexing a field allows
Pocket Access to find and sort information faster for that field.

8. Repeat these steps until you have created all the fields you want for y our table.

9. Select File and then Save Table.

Tip: If you have tables that you don’t want to keep updated on the
device (such as product catalogs), mark them as read-only when
transferring them from the desktop to the device to save time during
future synchronization sessions. ActiveSync will not check for updates
the next time you synchronize.

Pocket PowerPoint: Showing Presentations

Use Pocket PowerPoint to quickly and easily deliver a professional presentation on
your device (for one-on-one presentations) or connect your device to a VGA
monitor and show the presentation to a larger group (this require an optional
monitor cable). Simply create the presentation in Microsoft PowerPoint on your

The Microsoft Pocket Outlook program includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and
Inbox. Using ActiveSync, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook
Microsoft Schedule+, or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop computer with your
device. Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the changes you made
on your device and desktop computer and updates both computers. For more
information, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.

Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks each consists of a card view and list view. The card
view is where you enter or view the details for each entry. The list view is where
you view all entries. With Inbox, you can send and receive e-mail messages, either
through synchronization with Outlook or Exchange on your desktop computer or by
connecting directly to your mail server through an Internet or network account.

You can access Pocket Outlook by selecting Start, Programs, Pocket Outlook,
and then the tool you are interested in.

Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages

Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages. You can access your e-mail by
connecting to a mail server through an Internet or network account or by
synchronizing with your desktop computer.

7-8

Connecting to a mail server

You can send and receive messages by connecting directly to your mail server.
Use a modem to connect to your Internet service provider (ISP), or use a modem
or Ethernet card to connect to the local area network that your mail server is
connected to. In addition to creating a connection to your ISP or network, you must
give Inbox the information it needs to communicate with your mail server.

Tip: Inbox does not currently support connecting with proprietary mail
protocols such as AOL and MSN. However, you can still gain access
to the Internet through these services. There may be third-party
programs available that would enable you to send and receive mail
through proprietary protocols. Try searching the Web on the keyword
“Windows CE” to find third-party programs for your device.

Setting up Inbox for connecting to a mail se rver

1. Get the following information from your ISP or network administrator: POP3 or

IMAP4 server name, SMTP host name, user name, password, and domain
name (for network connections only).

2. Select Start, Programs, Pocket Outlook, and then Inbox.

3. Select Services and then Options.

4. On the Services tab, select Add.

5. Choose IMAP4 Mail or POP3 Mail, enter a name for the connection, and then

select OK.

6. In the Mail Service Definition dialog box, enter the information from step 1. In

Connection, choose the remote connection you want to use. (If you are

receiving e-mail through a network connection, Select Network Connection.)
If you have not created a connection, select Create new connection, double­tap or double-click the Make New Connection icon, and follow the instructions
in the wizard. When finished, select Inbox in the Taskbar and continue setting
up Inbox. For more information, see “Chapter 7: Getting Connected Remotely.”

7. In the Mail General Preferences dialog box, select desired options.

7-9

8. In the Mail Inbox Preferences dialog box, select desired options.

When Getting Messages, choose how you want messages downloaded

• In
by default. Choosing Get full copy of messages will take up more storage
space on your device. Choosing Only synchronize Inbox folder hierarchy
(IMAP4 only) will speed up the time it takes to download your messages.

• In When Getting Full Copy, choose whether you want to download file
attachments and meeting requests when you get full copies of messages.
This setting applies whether you have chosen to download full copies of
messages by default, or if you selectively download full copies of messages
by opening the message and selecting the Get Full Copy button. In
addition, if you want to receive meeting requests, your Exchange Server
administrator must enable support for Rich Text Format for your account.
Ask your administrator if this feature is enabled for you.

Downloading messages

To send and receive e-mail, select the Services menu and make sure that the
service you want to use is selected (the selected service has a bullet next to it.)
Then, select the Connect button. When you connect to the mail server, the
messages on your device and mail server are synchronized: new messages are
downloaded to the device Inbox folder, messages in the device Outbox folder are
sent, and messages that have been deleted on the server are removed from the
device Inbox. These folders are stored under the service you created when setting
up Inbox. Double-tap or double-click a message in the message list to open it. If
you read a message and decide that you need the full copy, select the Get Full
Copy button.

7-10

Disconnecting from the server

To disconnect Inbox from your mail server, select the Connect button again. You
also need to disconnect your dial-up connection by double-tapping or double­clicking the icon in the status bar and selecting Disconnect.

Managing messages and folders

By default, messages are displayed in one of four folders in the service you
created: Inbox, Deleted (local), Outbox, and Sent. The Deleted (local) folder
contains messages that have been deleted on the device. If you are using IMAP4,
you may see a Deleted Items folder. This folder is for deleted messages on the
server. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent folders depends on the Inbox options
you have chosen.

7-11

If you want to organize messages into additional folders, select File, Folder, and
then New Folder. Then, drag messages into the folder you created. The behavior
of the folders you create depends on whether you are using POP3 or IMAP4.

If you are using POP3, when you drag messages to a folder you created, the link is
broken between the messages and their copies on the mail server. The next time
you connect, the mail server will see that the messages are missing from the
device Inbox and delete them from the server. This prevents you from having
duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer have
access to the messages you move to the folders you create from anywhere except
the device.

If you are using IMAP4, the folders you create and the messages you move are
mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox
folder to a folder called Family, the server will create a copy of the Family folder
and copy the messages into that folder. Therefore, messages are available to you
anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your device, laptop
computer, or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs when you
create a new folder, move messages into a folder, exit the Inbox program, or select
Synchronize Folders on the Services menu. If you want to view the messages in
a folder while disconnected from your mail server, select the folder and then

Offline Folder on the Services menu.

Synchronizing E-mail Using ActiveSync

Another way to access your e-mail is by synchronizing your device and desktop
computer. Using ActiveSync on your desktop computer, you can send and receive
e-mail messages by exchanging information between Inbox on your device and
Inbox in either Outlook or Exchange on your desktop computer. When you
synchronize, any changes made on either computer are transferred to the other. If
you have received new messages in Inbox on your desktop computer, the
messages are copied to your device. If you delete a message on the device, it is
deleted from the desktop the next time you synchronize. If you compose and send
new e-mail messages on your device, the messages are moved to the desktop
computer and sent the next time you synchronize. In addition, changes you’ve
made to Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks are updated.

If you are receiving e-mail by synchronizing with your desktop computer, the device
Inbox is set up by default. However, because e-mail messages are not
synchronized by default, you will need to set up ActiveSync on your desktop
computer to include e-mail messages when synchronizing.

For specific instructions on setting up and using synchronization, see ActiveSync
Help on the desktop computer.

7-12

Downloading messages

To send and receive e-mail, connect to your desktop computer and initiate
synchronization. The way you initiate synchronization depends on how you are
connected to your desktop computer and the settings you have chosen in
ActiveSync. For more information, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.

When you synchronize, new messages in Inbox on the desktop computer are
copied to the Inbox folder on your device, and messages in the device Outbox
folder are sent. These folders are stored under the ActiveSync service in Inbox.
Double-tap or double-click a message in the message list to open it.

Managing messages and folders

Messages are stored in one of four folders in the ActiveSync service: Inbox,
Deleted (local), Outbox, and Sent. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent folders
depends on the Inbox options you have chosen.

If you want to store messages in a folder other than Inbox, select File, Folder, and
then New Folder. Create the folder and then drag messages into it. Doing so
breaks the link between these messages and their copies on the desktop
computer. When you synchronize next, the messages in the folder you created will
not be synchronized. In addition, the desktop computer will see that the messages
are missing from the device Inbox folder and delete them from the Inbox folder on
the desktop so that both Inbox folders match. This prevents you from getting
duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer have
access to the messages you move out of Inbox except from the device.

7-13

Sending a message

To send a message:

1. Select Compose and then New Message.

2. Select the To field and enter the address of one or more recipients, or select

the Address Book button to select addresses from the Contacts list or an
address service.

3. Select the Subject field and enter a title for the message.

4. Select the message body and type your message.

5. To attach a file, select the Add Attachment button.

6. Select the Send button.

If you are not connected to your mail server, the message is moved to the Outbox
folder and will be sent the next time you connect or synchronize.

7-14

Chapter 8:
Getting Connected Remotely

a)8

If you want to use your device to connect to your desktop computer, a network, or
the Internet while away from your office, you must create a dial-up connection. This
is called remote networking. You have the following remote networking options:

• Connect to your Internet service provider (ISP). Once connected, you can send

and receive e-mail messages and view Web pages. If this is the method you
want to use, see “Connecting to an ISP.”

• Connect to the network at your company or organization. Once connected, you

can send and receive e-mail messages, view intranet Web pages, and access
files on the network. If this is the method you want to use, see “Connecting to
Your Network.”

• Connect to your desktop computer to synchronize remotely. Once connected,

you can synchronize information such as your Pocket Outlook data. If this is the
method you want to use, see “Connecting to Your Desktop Computer to
Synchronize Remotely.” For more information on synchronization, see
ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.

Note:

• Chapter 9, “Simple Internet Connection,” provides an easy alternative to the

procedures explained in “Connecting to an ISP” and “Connecting to Your
Network.”

• Settings must be made using the Simple Internet Connection procedure before

using the Mail, Web surfing, and FTP Internet applications provided by SHARP,
or the one-touch mail receipt and web surfing switches.

Connecting to Your Net work

If you have access to a network, you can send e-mail, access file servers, view
intranet pages, and possibly access the Internet. You can connect to your network
in one of two ways:

• Create a dial-up connection using a RAS account. Before you can create this

dial-up connection, your network administrator will need to set up a RAS account
for you. If this is the method you want to use, see “To create a dial-up connection
to a network.”

• Use an Ethernet card and a net tap to connect to the network. If this is the

method you want to use, see “To create a network (Ethernet) connection.”

To create a dial-up connection to a network:
