1 First Things First
Preparing to use your MC35
To install the battery pack: Align the tabs on the battery pack with the grooves on the rear side of the device, and then insert the battery pack in place. The battery pack locks to the chassis with an audible click.
To uninstall the battery pack:
1 If the device is on, press the Power button to turn off the device.
Wait for five seconds to allow the device to completely power off.
2 Slide the battery latch toward the unlock icon to release the battery pack from
the chassis (1).
3 Completely detach the battery pack from the device (2).

Charging the MC35

Initial charging of a standard life battery takes about four hours. The extended life battery type requires at least eight hours. After the initial charging, charge your device everyday to restore the battery to full capacity. Charge your device using the AC adapter cable, see instructions below.
While waiting for the initial charging to complete, install Microsoft® ActiveSync® 4.2 or higher on your computer to prepare for the initial syn chronization procedure. Refer to the next section for instructions.
To charge your device:

Preparing to use your MC35
2 Plug the AC adapter cable into the mini USB connector on bottom of the device.
3 Connect the AC adapter cable into an electrical outlet.
The LED indicator on the right side of the touch screen lights up orange to signify that AC connection is made.
If the battery level becomes low in the course of normal use, a status icon appears on the device screen indicating low or depleted battery status (see "Status icons" on page 18 for more information). In both cases, perform an ActiveSync operation to back up your data, and then recharge your device as soon as possible.
If the battery level reaches low status, the device enters sleep mode; if the battery level reaches very low status, the device enters deep sleep mode. In this case, you have about 72 hours to recharge your device after which you risk losing all data on your device’s internal memory.

Installing Microsoft ActiveSync

ActiveSync is already installed on your MC35; you only need to install it on your computer.

To confirm you've successfully installed ActiveSync, open ActiveSync, then click Help > About Microsoft ActiveSync.
For detailed information about using ActiveSync on your computer, start ActiveSync on your computer, click Help > Microsoft ActiveSync Help.

Starting the MC35

After you have initially charged your device, the device is ready for use. You can now start your device where you will calibrate the display, learn basic stylus usage, and set up the system date and time.
To start your MC35:
NOTE: After pressing the power button, wait four seconds for the device to power on before pressing the power button again.
1 Turn on your device by pressi ng the Power button located on the right side of
the touch screen.
2 Follow the on-screen Welcome Screen Wizard instructions.
3 After the device setup, create an ActiveSync partnership to synchronize information
between your computer and/or server and your MC35.

Creating an ActiveSync partnership

After installing ActiveSync on your computer and completing the device setup, you can now set up a partnership between your MC35 (first time connecti on only) and your computer and/or a server with the help of the New Partnership setup wizard. This wizard will help you:
Set up a partnership so you can synchronize information between your device and your computer
Customize your synchronization settings

1 First Things First
Preparing to use your MC35
To create an ActiveSync partnership: 1 Connect the USB sync cable into the connector on the bottom of your device, then
plug the USB sync cable into a USB port on your computer.
The Synchronization Setup Wizard automatically starts on your computer screen.
NOTE: If the wizard does not automatically appear, launch ActiveSync on your computer by clicking on its icon from Start > Programs.
2 Follow the on-screen instructions.
To prevent synchronization problems, select the “Synchronize directly with a server running Microsoft Exchange Server...” option only if you are certain that your company is running Microsoft Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync and you know the server address and logon credentials. For more information, contact your corporate network administrator or service provider.
By default, ActiveSync only synchronize information for Contacts, Calendar, Messaging (Outlook E-Mail), Tasks, and Favorites (for Internet Explorer Mobile). If you decide to synchronize other files, for example, Word documents, ActiveSync need to convert these files. Converted files may not contain all information found in original file.

1 First Things First
Preparing to use your MC35
3 Click Finish to close the wizard and start the initial synchronization.
During the synchronization process, the ActiveSync window appears on your computer, while the Data connectivity icon appears on your device’s navigation bar.
After the initial synchronization, the information types you’ve selected for synchronization are copied to your device. Disconnect your device from your computer and you're ready to go!
The next time you connect your device, your computer recognizes it automatically. You don’t need to set up the partnership again. You can initiate synchronization from your device anytime via several connection options—via USB sync cable, infrared, or Bluetooth connections. For more information on these connection options and other ActiveSync configur ation settings, see “Using ActiveSync” on page 30.

GPRS connection

General Packet Radio Service (GPRS) is a packet-switched technology that allows transmission of data between mobile phones and the Internet over a GSM network. It supports an “always on” capability which uses the GSM network only during data transmission. This means users only pay for the amount of downloaded information rather than the duration of the network connection.
The communication software for creating a GPRS connection is already installed on your device. Your service provider will provide software needed to install other services, such as paging and fax services.
Once you’ve established a GPRS connection, you can:
Use Messaging to send and receive e-mail messages.
Use Internet Explorer Mobile to access Web or WAP pages
Use Windows Media Player 10 Mobile for Pocket PC to listen to streaming media
Use MSN Messenger to conduct IM sessions with your friends and colleagues.
Configuring your GPRS connection
NOTE: GPRS Settings application is not available on all configurations.
You have two options to configure your GPRS connection—using the GPRS Settings
or the Connections option under the Settings > Connections preferences.
To manually configure GPRS connection using GPRS Settings: See “To configure GPRS connection using GPRS settings” on page 157 for more information.

E-mail messages in an Outlook E-mail account can be downloaded during ActiveSync synchronization.
E-mail messages in an e-mail account provided by your ISP, or that you access using a virtual private network (VPN) server can be downloaded from a remote email server.
Text messages are automatically received by your device when the phone function is turned on. When the phone function is disabled, messages are held by your mobile phone service provider until the next time you turn the phone function on.
Synchronizing Outlook e-mail messages
Outlook e-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general ActiveSync synchronization process.
During ActiveSync synchronization:
Only the first 500 bytes (or characters, including spaces) of each new message sent to you within the last three days.
Messages are copied from the Outlook Inbox folder on your computer, or from a Microsoft Exchange server, to the Outlook E-mail Inbox folder on your device.
The messages on your device and on your computer are linked. When you delete a message on your device, it is also deleted from your computer the next time you synchronize, and vice versa.
To set up ActiveSync e-mail synchronization: 1 Open Acti veSync on your computer.
2 Click Tools > Options.
3 In the Mobile Device list under the Desktop area, select the “E-mail” option.
4 Click OK.
To configure ActiveSync e-mail synchronization settings: 1 Connect your device to your computer.
2 On ActiveSync on your computer, make sure the details pane is open. If it’s not,
click Show Details.
3 Double-click E-Mail.
4 Select the e-mail synchronization options you prefer.
If you receive long messages often and want to synchronize them in full, select a larger size in the “Limit e-mail size to” list.
If you want to synchronize more past messages, increase the interval in the “Include the previous” box.
77
6 Using the Windows Mobile Programs

Microsoft Office Mobile programs

If you want to include email attachments, select the “Include file attachments” option. To limit the size of synchronized attachments, select the “Only if smaller than” option and enter a size limit. Attachments larger than this limit will not be synchronized with your device.
If you want to synchronize folders other than Inbox, click Select Folders, then select the subfolders that you want to synchronize.
The Deleted Items folder synchronizes only one direction, from the device to the computer. Items in the Deleted Items folder on your computer will not appear on your device.
5 Click OK twice.
Synchronizing POP3/IMAP4 e-mail messages
POP3/IMAP4 e-mail messages are downloaded using an e-mail server connection. During e-mail server synchronization:
New e-mail messages are downloaded to that account’s Inbox folder.
E-mail messages in that account’s Outbox folder are sent.
E-mail messages that have been deleted in the e-mail server are removed from
your device’s Inbox folder.
If you are using a POP3 account and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on your device and their copies on the e-mail server. The next time you connect, the e-mail server sees that the messages are missing from the de vice’s 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 your device.
If you are using an IMAP4 account, 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 e-mail server, whether it is from your device or from your computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders or rename/delete folders when connected.
To synchronize POP3/IMAP4 e-mail messages: 1 On the message list on your device, tap Menu > Go To, then select the e-mail
account you want to use.
2Tap Menu > Send/Receive.
