IntroductionChapter —1

If your computer shuts down because of low battery conditions, your com­puter will not operate. This is done to ensure that data is protected. Al­though the battery will protect the data against loss for several hours, you
should connect your computer to a power source when you first detect a
low battery condition.

Your computer contains an internal super capacitor, a temporary power
storage device, that protects data for about one minute. This is to give you
time to replace the main battery pack before that data is lost. Be sure to put

the computer in a suspend mode before doing so.

If you have at least one device in your 700 Series Computer (radio, scan­ner, imager, Ethernet), the battery power fail level is set so that after the
system shuts down in a low battery condition, there is still sufficient charge
to allow the unit to remain configured, keep proper time, and maintain
DRAM (Dynamic Random Access Memory) for at least four hours at
room temperature if the main battery remains in the mobile computer.
The configuration and time are lost if:

S The battery discharges beyond this level.

S The battery is removed when the computer is not in suspend mode.

S A cold reset is performed on the computer.

Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing a Pocket PC. Due to the size and capabili­ties of this 700 Series Monochrome Mobile Computer, you can keep your
most important business and personal information up-to-date and close at
hand. Microsoft ActiveSync increases the power of your 700 Ser ies Com­puter by allowing you to synchronize the information on your desktop or
laptop computer with your 700 Series Computer. Picture yourself in the
following situations:

S A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab

your 700 Monochrome Computer and catch the bus just in time. Be­cause ActiveSync keeps the information on your 700 Series Computer
up-to-date, you leisurely review your task list, make notes about the new
books and CDs you want to buy, and read and respond to e-mail messa­ges. When you get back to the office, ActiveSync transfers any task
changes you made, your notes, and your e-mail message responses to
your desktop computer. For more information on ActiveSync, see
“Microsoft ActiveSync” on page 35.

S While walking with a colleague, your 700 Monochrome Computer

rings. You look at the caller ID and see it is your manager who is cal­ling. She asks if you two are free this afternoon f or an emergency meet­ing. While your colleague fumbles through his paper organizer, you
press a button on your 700 Series Computer and instantly see a list of
today’s appointments and meetings. You are quickly able to tell your
manager your available times, and make a note of the new meeting
while on the call. You hang up, send an e-mail with a schedule request
for the three of you at the desired location. For more information on
scheduling appointments and meetings, see “Microsoft Pocket Outlook”
on page 37.

S You are meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You

download the latest movie information from the Internet to your desk­top computer and then synchronize it with your 700 Series Computer.
At dinner, you pull out your 700 Monochrome Computer and review
your movie options with your friends. For more information on down­loading Web pages to your 700 Series Computer, see “Pocket Internet
Explorer” on page 68.

Premium versus Professional Editions

Your 700 Series Computer will have either the Premium Edition or the
Professional Edition of Pocket PC 2002. Do the following to determine
which edition of Pocket PC 2002 is on your unit.

Converting Writing to Text

S Tap Tools → Recogniz e.

If you want to convert only certain words, select them before tapping Rec-
ognize on the Tools menu (or tap and hold the selected words and then tap
Recognize on the pop-up menu). If a word is not recognized, it is left as
writing.

26 700 Series Monochrome Mobile Computer User’s Manual

Pocket PC 2002—Chapter 2

If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of
alternates or return to the original writing. To do so, tap and hold the in­correct word (tap one word at a time). On the pop-up menu, tap Alterna-
tes. A menu with a list of alternate words appears. Tap the word you want
to use, or tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original
writing.

Tips for getting good recognition:

S Write neatly.

S Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross

of the “t” and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not con­fused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the line.

S For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the

Tools menu.

S Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so

that the 700 Series Computer can easily tell where words begin and end.

S Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as ac-

cents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.

S If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an

“8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will
not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.

Pocket PC 2002Chapter —2

Drawing on the Screen

You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen.
The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you se­lect items and how they can be edited. For example, selected drawings can
be resized, while writing cannot.

Creating a Drawing

S Cross three ruled lines on your f irst stroke. A drawing box appears. Sub-

sequent strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the dra­wing. Drawings that do not cross three ruled lines will be treated as
writing.

Note: You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily
work on or view your drawing. Tap Tools and then a zoom level.

Microsoft ActiveSync

Visit the following Microsoft Web site for the latest in updates, technical
information, and samples:

S http://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/downloads/activesync.asp

Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your
desktop computer with the information on your 700 Series Computer.
Synchronization compares the data on your 700 Series Computer with
your desktop computer and updates both computers with the most recent
information. For example:

S Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your 700 Series

Computer with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop computer.

S Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your

700 Series Computer and desktop computer. Your files are automatical­ly converted to the correct format

Note: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types
of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off
for specific information types.

Pocket PC 2002—Chapter 2

With ActiveSync, you can also:

S Back up and restore your 700 Series Computer data.

S Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your 700 Series Computer

and desktop computer.

S Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization

mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to
your desktop computer or only when you choose the synchronize com­mand.

S Select which information types are synchronized and control how much

data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of
past appointments you want synchronized.

Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your desktop
computer from the Pocket PC Companion CD. For more information on
installing ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already
installed on your 700 Series Computer.

After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you con­nect your 700 Series Computer to your desktop computer, set up a part­nership so you can synchronize information between your 700 Series
Computer and your desktop computer, and customize your synchroniza­tion settings. Your first synchronization process will automatically begin
when you finish using the wizard.

After your first synchronization, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and
Tasks on your 700 Series Computer. You will notice that information you
have stored in Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer has been
copied to your 700 Series Computer, and you did not have to type a word.
Disconnect your 700 Series Computer from your computer and you are
ready to go!

Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages

Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in either of these ways:

S Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft

Outlook on your desktop computer.

S Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail

server through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a network.

Synchronizing E-mail Messages

E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization
process. You will need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync. For
information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the
desktop computer. During synchronization:

S Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on

your desktop computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your 700
Series Computer. By default, you will receive messages from the past
three days only, the first 100 lines of each message, and file attachments
of less than 100 KB in size.

S E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your 700 Series Computer are

transferred to Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those pro­grams.

S E-mail messages in subfolders must be selected in ActiveSync on your

desktop computer in order to be transferred.

Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server

In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop computer,
you can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server
using a modem or network card connected to your 700 Series Computer.
You will need to set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a
connection to your e-mail server. For more information, see “Getting Con-
nected” on page 73.

When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to
the 700 Series Computer Inbox folder, messages in the 700 Series Com­puter Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted on the
e-mail server are removed from the 700 Series Computer Inbox folder.

Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your
e-mail server rather than your desktop computer. When you delete a mes­sage on your 700 Series Computer, it is also deleted from the e-mail server
the next time you connect based on the settings selected in ActiveSync.

You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and re­spond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent
as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your 700 Series Computer.

When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or
partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then de­cide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect,
Inbox downloads the complete messages you have marked for retrieval and
sends the messages you have composed.

Managing E-mail Messages and Folders

By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service
you have created: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox, and Sent Items.
The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the
700 Series Computer. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders
depends on the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap Tools →
Options → the Message tab, then select your options.

If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools →
Manage Folders to create new folders. To move a message to another fold­er, in the message list, tap and hold the message and then tap Move to on
the pop-up menu.

Folder Behavior With a Direct Connectionto an E-mail Server

The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.

S If you use ActiveSync:

E-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will automatically be
synchronized with your 700 Series Computer. You can select to syn­chronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The
folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on
the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox fold­er to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family for syn­chronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies
the messages into that folder. You can then read the messages while
away from your desktop computer.

S If you use SMS:

Messages are stored in the Inbox folder.

S If you use POP3:

and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken
between the messages on the 700 Series Computer and their copies on
the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see that
the messages are missing from the 700 Series Computer 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
messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the
700 Series Computer.

S If you use IMAP4:

The folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored
on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you con­nect to your mail server, whether it is from your 700 Series Computer
or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever
you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete
folders when connected.
