To type with Transcriber:

1. Tap the arrow next to the Input panel button then tap

2. Write anywhere on the screen.

For specific instructions on using Transcriber, open Transcriber and then tap the question mark in the lower-right corner of the screen.

Writing on the Screen

In any program that accepts writing—such as the Notes program and the Notes tab in Calendar, Contacts and Tasks—you can use your stylus to write directly on the screen. Write the way you do on paper. You can edit and format what you have written and convert the information to text later.

Writing

To write on the screen, tap the Pen button to switch to writing mode. This action displays lines on the screen to help you write.

Tap the Pen button and use your stylus like a pen.

NOTE: Some programs that accept writing may not have the Pen button. See the documentation for that program to find out how to switch to writing mode.

Editing Your Writing

If you want to edit or format writing, you must first select the writing and then edit it.

1. Tap and hold the stylus next to the text you want to select until the insertion

point appears. Without lifting, drag the stylus across the text you want to select.

You can also select text by tapping the

Pen button to deselect it and then

dragging the stylus across the screen.

2. Tap and hold the selected words and then tap an editing command (cut, copy

or paste) on the pop-up menu or tap the command on the

If you accidentally write on the screen, tap

Tools  Undo and try again.

Edit menu.

Converting Your Writing to Text

1. If you want to convert only certain words, select them before going to the

next step.

2. To convert writing to text, tap Tools  Recognize or tap and hold the selected words and then tap

Recognize on the pop-up menu. Your writing is turned

into text.

If a word is not recognized, it is left as writing.

Select the text you want to convert and tap Recognize on the pop-up menu.

The writing is turned into text.

If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of alternates or return to the original writing.

1. Tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one word at a time).

2. On the pop-up menu, tap

appears.

3. Tap the word you want to use or tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original writing.

Tap to return to your original writing.

Or, tap the word you want to use.

Some tips for getting good recognition are listed below:

 Write neatly.

 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.

 For better recognition, use the Tools menu to increase the zoom level to

300%.

 Write the letters of a word close together and leave big gaps between words.

 Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as

accents some punctuation cannot be converted.

 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.

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

3 Managing Your Pocket PC

This chapter tells you how to effectively manage power, memory, settings, data and programs of your Pocket PC.

3.1 Managing Power

You must maintain a continuous power supply to your Pocket PC to retain your data, including any information, programs or settings that you added to your Pocket PC.

A fully charged battery should provide power for up to 8 hours of use. The operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using the Pocket PC. Some functions, such as using multimedia or operating a SD/MMC card, may consume the battery power considerably.

Low Battery Signals and Actions

CAUTION:

 Though your Pocket PC can retain data for 72 hours after its battery runs completely out

of power, you must constantly charge the battery of your Pocket PC. This can prevent data loss or damage to the battery caused by the battery’s being kept in a discharged state for too long.

 When you recharge the battery upon a warning of low power, you should charge for at

least 30 minutes. If you unplug the AC adapter soon, you may not have sufficient battery power for your operation.

You can monitor the battery power by tapping

Power icon. The remaining power is displayed on a status bar in the Power

control panel.

Settings  System tab 



When the battery is low, your Pocket PC will pop up a warning message. You should save your data and recharge the battery immediately upon a warning of low power; otherwise your Pocket PC will turn off automatically. You need to

connect the Pocket PC to external AC power for charging before you can use it again. If the battery completely runs out of power, you will lose any information, programs or settings that you added.

Power Management

Supplied with your Pocket PC is a tool called “Mio Utility.” This tool helps you effectively manage power to prolong the battery’s operating time.

Tap

System, Smart Battery, and WakeUp. They are described as below.

 Settings  System tab  Mio Utility. The tool consists of three tabs:

 Auto Pocket PC will automatically adjust the CPU speed according to the

need of the current operation.

 Low Performance The CPU always runs at a lower speed, thus extending

the battery life.

 High Performance The CPU always runs at normal speed, thus providing

standard battery life.

 Superior Performance The CPU always runs at a high speed, thus

shortening the battery life.

WakeUp

The following item is enabled by default. You can change the setting if you want.

 SD slot powered off during sleep mode

Sets if the Pocket PC will stop the power supply to the SD/MMC slot when the Pocket PC is suspended. (The default setting is unchecked.)

 Avoid power-consuming situations such as:

 When connecting your Pocket PC to your desktop computer (Your

Pocket PC will not auto-suspend while it is connected.)

 When using a modem or other peripheral  When monitoring infrared transfers (Although you can set your Pocket

PC to constantly monitor the IR port for files sent from other devices, doing so will quickly drain your battery.)

 When playing sound or music  When recording.

3.2 Managing Memory

Storage and Program Memory

Files, settings and data that you add to your Pocket PC are stored in RAM (Random Access Memory). The RAM on your Pocket PC is shared between storage memory and program memory.

 Storage memory

Storage memory is used to store the data you create and additional programs you install.

 Program memory

Program memory is used to run programs on your Pocket PC.

Your Pocket PC automatically manages the allocation between storage and program memory. However, in some situations, such as when the memory is running out, your Pocket PC may not be able to automatically adjust the allocation. (For information on solving memory problems, see section 7.4.)

Additional Memory

You can buy a SD/MMC storage card for backup, storage, archives or to transfer large files to other devices. Files stored on a storage card appear in a folder called

SDMMC Disk, listed under My Device in the File Explorer application.

Data stored on a storage card will be saved, even if your Pocket PC loses power. To protect your data, you can back up regularly to a storage card.

3.3 Customizing Your Pocket PC

NOTE: Incorrect settings may cause your system to malfunction. Make sure that you fully understand the function of a certain item before any adjustment.

You can customize the settings of the Pocket PC to your own preferences. Tap

6. If you want to attach a file to the message, tap

Edit  Spell Check.

select the desired file.

NOTE: OLE objects cannot be attached to Inbox messages.

7. Tap Send when you have finished the message. If you are working offline,

the message is moved to the Outbox folder and is sent the next time you connect.

The message is placed in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC and will be delivered in one of two ways:

 The message is transferred to the Outbox folder in Exchange or Outlook on

your desktop computer and sent the next time you synchronize.

 The message is transferred to your email server the next time you connect.

In Messaging, make sure the appropriate service is selected on the

Accounts

menu. Then tap the Connect button (or Connect on the Accounts menu).

Managing Email Messages and Folders

Each e-mail service account has its own folder hierarchy with five default folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts and Sent Items. The messages you receive and send through the mail service are stored in these folders. You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy.

The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on your Pocket PC. The behaviour of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends on the options you have chosen.

Folder Behavior

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

 If you use ActiveSync, email messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are

automatically synchronized with your Pocket PC. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. 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 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.

 If you use POP3 and you move email messages to a folder you created, the

link is broken between the messages on the Pocket PC and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server sees that the

messages are missing from the Pocket PC Inbox and deletes them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the Pocket PC.

 If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the email 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 Pocket PC or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders or rename/delete folders when connected.

For all services except ActiveSync, you can access folder options by tapping

Tools  Manage Folders in the message list.

5 More Programs

In addition to Microsoft Pocket Outlook, several programs are built into your Pocket PC. They include Microsoft ActiveSync, Microsoft Pocket Word, Microsoft Pocket Excel, Windows Media Player, Microsoft Reader, Pictures and additional programs. This chapter tells you how to use these programs.

5.1 Microsoft ActiveSync

NOTE: ActiveSync is already installed on your Pocket PC. You need to install ActiveSync on your desktop computer. (For information on installing ActiveSync, see section 1.4.)

When you have established the connection between your Pocket PC and your desktop computer, you can synchronize the information between the two with ActiveSync. Synchronization compares the data on the two sides and updates both computers with the most recent information. For example, you can:

 Keep your Pocket Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks databases

up-to-date by synchronizing your Pocket PC with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop computer.

 Synchronize email messages in your Pocket PC Inbox with email messages

in Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer.

 Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your

Pocket PC and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.

With ActiveSync, you can also:

 Back up and restore your Pocket PC data.

 Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your Pocket PC and desktop

computer.

 Add and remove programs on your Pocket PC.

 Pass through your desktop computer to a network or the Internet to perform

tasks such as downloading IMAP4 e-mail messages or browsing the Internet on your Pocket PC.

Ways of Connecting to Your Desktop Computer

CAUTION: Do not shut down or restart your desktop computer while your Pocket PC is connected. Turn off your Pocket PC or disconnect the cable before you shut down your desktop computer.

You can connect your Pocket PC to a desktop computer in several ways:

 Use the ActiveSync cable or USB cradle (optional) (See step 8 of section

1.4 for information.)

 Use the IR port in place of using a cable. IR ports can be found on many

notebook computers; however, on a desktop computer, you may need to install and configure an IR port. To install the port, follow the manufacturer’s instructions. (For complete instructions on connecting to your desktop computer by infrared, refer to ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.)

 Use a network or dial-up connection. You can synchronize while connected

to your desktop computer by a dial-up connection or over a LAN (Local Area Network).

Synchronizing Data

Once you have created a partnership and completed the first synchronization, you can initiate synchronization from your Pocket PC.

To Synchronize from Your Pocket PC

1. Connect your Pocket PC to your desktop computer.

2. On your Pocket PC, tap  ActiveSync.

3. Tap

to begin synchronization.

View connection status.

Tap to connect and synchronize.

Tap to stop synchronization.

View synchronization status.

Tap to synchronize via IR or change synchronization settings.

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

 Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode.

For example, you can synchronize continually while the Pocket PC is connected or only when you choose the synchronize command.

 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.

For information on setting ActiveSync options and using ActiveSync on your desktop computer, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer. For information on using ActiveSync on your Pocket PC, see ActiveSync Help on the Pocket PC.

To Synchronize from a Remote Location

You can also synchronize by dialing in to your desktop computer or connecting over a network. This can be useful if you need to synchronize files or PIM information while traveling. Before you leave, you must configure both your Pocket PC and your desktop computer.

On your Pocket PC, you need to create a partnership between your Pocket PC and the desktop computer using one of the direct connection methods (USB

cable or infrared connection). You must also configure a connection on your Pocket PC as described in section 6.1.

On your desktop computer, you need to ensure the following:

 The desktop computer or network server is configured to allow your Pocket

PC to connect. Depending on the version of Windows running on the desktop computer, you may need to install and configure Remote Access Services or Dial-Up Networking on the desktop computer.

 ActiveSync is configured to allow a network connection. For more

information, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.

 If you are using a modem on your desktop computer, turn the modem on

before you leave.

 Leave your desktop computer on and be sure you logged on under the same

user name that you used when you created the partnership.

 Your PIM program and email program (Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft

Exchange) should be running correctly.

5.2 Pocket Word

Microsoft Pocket Word works with Microsoft Word on your desktop computer to give you easy access to copies of your documents.

6 Getting Connected

To take full advantage of your Pocket PC, you will want to get connected. This chapter tells you how you can get your Pocket PC connected to the Internet or corporate network through a variety of ways including modem, network card, and wireless network. It also describes Internet Explorer for Web browsing.

6.1 Connection Settings

Your Pocket PC has two groups of connection settings: “My ISP” and “My Work Network.” My ISP settings are used to connect to the Internet, and My Work Network settings can be used to connect to any private network, such as a corporate network you use at work.

Connections can be made using a modem, wireless network, or network (Ethernet) card.

After the connections, you can browse the Internet or intranet, send and receive e-mail and instant messages, and synchronize information using ActiveSync.
