CAUTION: For optimal performance of the lithium battery, take note of the following:

z Do not charge the battery where the temperature is high (e.g. in direct sunlight). z There is no need to fully discharge the battery before charging. You can charge the

battery before it is discharged.

z If you will not use the product for a long period of time, be sure to fully charge the

battery at least once every two weeks. Over discharge of the battery can affect the charging performance.

NOTE: Your device can also be charged when it is connected to a desktop computer via the USB cable.

1.3 Using Your Device in a Vehicle

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.

CAUTION:

z Before installation, make sure that you have Microsoft Outlook installed on your desktop

computer.

z Do not connect your Pocket PC to your desktop computer before ActiveSync is installed. z ActiveSync connection problems may occur in some specific cases. They are likely

caused by interoperability with desktop firewall applications or applications that manage network traffic. For troubleshooting information, visit the Microsoft web site: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync/default.mspx.

of your Pocket PC and the other end to a USB port on your desktop computer.

7. Follow the onscreen instructions to establish a synchronization relationship

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.

1.6 Using an SD/SDHC/MMC Card

Your Pocket PC has a slot where you can insert an optional SD, SDHC, MMC storage card or I/O card.

NOTE:

z Your Pocket PC supports the SDHC Class 2/Class 4/Class 6 card. z A storage card is also called a memory card. z Make sure that no foreign objects enter the slot.
