Preface
Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing this Windows® Powered Pocket PC. Due to the
size and capabilities of the device, you can keep your most important business
and personal information up-to-date and close at hand. Microsoft
increases the power of your Pocket PC by allowing you to synchronize the
information on your desktop or Microsoft Exchange Server with your Pocket
PC. Picture yourself in the following situations:
ActiveSync
While walking with a colleague, your cell phone rings and your boss asks if
you two are free this afternoon for an emergency meeting. While your
colleague fumbles through his paper organizer, you press a button on your
Pocket PC and instantly see a list of today’s appointments and meetings.
You are quickly able to tell the boss your available times. For more
information on scheduling appointments and meetings, see Chapter 4.
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 Pocket PC. At dinner, you pull out your
Pocket PC and review your movie options with your friends. For more
information on downloading Web pages to your device, see Chapter 7.
A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab
your Pocket PC and catch the bus just in time. Because ActiveSync keeps
the information on your Pocket PC 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 Chapter 7.
v
In addition, your Pocket PC is a digital camera and a MP3 player as well.

your desktop computer and/or a Microsoft Exchange Server with the
information on your Pocket PC. ActiveSync compares 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:

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

Your Pocket PC has a SD/MMC slot where you can insert an optional Secure
Digital or MultiMediaCard storage card. With the removable memory, you can
store or backup your data and exchange data with other devices.
NOTE:
A storage card is also called a memory card.
Make sure that no foreign objects enter the slot.
Keep a SD or MMC card in a well-protected box to avoid dust
and humidity when you are not using it.

With Transcriber you can write anywhere on the screen using the stylus just as
you would on paper. Unlike Letter Recognizer and Block Recognizer, you can
write a sentence or more of information; then, you pause and let Transcriber
change the written characters to typed characters.
To type with Transcriber:
1. Tap the arrow next to the Input panel button then tap
2. Write anywhere on the screen.

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.
