Step 2. Perform the Initial Startup
Initial startup includes setting the battery switch and completing the Welcome
Wizard.
1. The battery switch should be set to the ON (down) position for normal
operation. Pull out the stylus and use it to slide the battery switch to the ON
(down) position.
CAUTION: Always leave the battery switch in the ON position for normal operation.
Changing the switch will cause your data to be lost.
2. Your Pocket PC will automatically turn on and display the “Welcome” screen.
3. To begin the “Welcome” Wizard, tap the screen with the stylus and follow the
onscreen instructions to complete the wizard. The wizard presents a brief
orientation to Microsoft® Windows® for Pocket PC, helps you align the
touch screen and prompts you to select your city and time zone.
Step 3. Charge the Battery
Fully charge the battery before starting to use your Pocket PC for the first time.
1. Plug the converter to the AC adapter.
2. Connect to AC power.
Connect the appropriate end of the ActiveSync cable to the bottom of your
Pocket PC.
Connect the appropriate end of the AC adapter to the power connector
on the ActiveSync cable.
Plug the other end of the AC adapter into a wall outlet.
3. The charge indicator glows amber when charging is in progress. Do not
disconnect your Pocket PC from AC power until the battery is fully charged,
as indicated by the amber indicator turning into green. This will take a couple
of hours.
Whenever possible, keep your Pocket PC connected to the AC adapter and a
power source. Doing so keeps the battery charged.

Step 4. Install Microsoft ActiveSync
You can use Microsoft ActiveSync® technology to synchronize information on
your desktop computer and/or a Microsoft Exchange Server with the information
on your Pocket PC with the information on the desktop computer and/or the
server and updates all locations, keeping you up-to-date with the most recent
information.
ActiveSync is already installed on your Pocket PC. You need to install
ActiveSync on your desktop computer. Follow the procedure below:
CAUTION:
Before installation, make sure that you have Microsoft Outlook installed on your desktop
computer. If you do not have Outlook or your version of Outlook is earlier than the
version provided on the Companion CD, install Outlook from the Companion CD.
Do not connect your Pocket PC to your desktop computer before ActiveSync is installed.
During the New Partnership setup, select “Synchronize with this desktop computer.” Do
not select “Synchronize with Microsoft Mobile Information Server and/or this desktop
computer” unless you are sure that your company is running Microsoft Mobile
Information Server 2002 or later. Contact your network administrator or ISP for detailed
information.
1. Turn on your desktop computer.
2. Insert the Companion CD into the CD-ROM drive of your desktop computer.
3. Click the arrow on the first screen to enter the main screen and click Start Here.
4. In the “Start Here” screen, click Install ActiveSync 3.7 on the left column.
5. In the “Install ActiveSync 3.7” screen, click Install to start installation.
6. In the “File Download” screen, click on Open if your operating system is
Windows XP or click Run this program from its current location if your operating
system is Windows 2000/Me/98.
7. Follow the onscreen instructions to install
ActiveSync.
8. When prompted, connect your Pocket PC to
your desktop computer. Connect the appropriate
end of the ActiveSync cable to the bottom of
your Pocket PC. Connect the USB end of the
cable to a USB port on your desktop computer.
9. The “Add New Hardware Wizard” should automatically install the USB
driver. (If you need to specify the location of the driver, click Browse and
select the drive containing the Companion CD.)
10. Follow the onscreen instructions to establish a partnership and synchronize
your Pocket PC with your desktop computer.
After your first synchronization, the data you have stored on your desktop
computer such as Calendar, Contacts and Tasks is copied to your Pocket PC. You
are now ready to take it along with you when you go.
