1 Welcome

Congratulations on purchasing a WA 3050 device, the
complete Microsoft® Windows®-powered organiser and
communications solution for the mobile professional. The
WA 3050 device helps you stay in touch, keeping vital
business and personal information current and close at hand.
Integrated into your device is a next-generation GSM phone
with a full range of voice and data capabilities, including the
ability to send and receive SMS and fax, and a WAP browser
for access to the mobile Internet. Microsoft Pocket Outlook
lets you read and write e-mail and manage your appointments
and contacts. Microsoft ActiveSync allows you to
synchronize information on your device with a PC or
notebook computer.

Picture yourself in the following situations:

§ Your cell phone rings, and the boss asks if you are free

this afternoon for a meeting. You scramble through your
briefcase, looking for your digital organiser.

§ You are meeting friends for dinner and a movie. You

download movie listings from the Internet to your PC,
then synchronize it with your organiser. By the time you
arrive for dinner, your friends have already ordered
dessert.

§ You grab your digital organiser to catch the bus. On the

way home, you review your task list, make notes about
new CDs you want to buy, and read and write responses
to e-mail. Then you remember an important fax you
forgot to send before you left the office.

Now imagine how much easier it might be in each of these
situations if you had a single device that:

§ Is both a cell phone and digital organiser

§ Provides fast access to the “wireless web”

13

§ Enables you to respond immediately to e-mail

§ Lets you send SMS messages or faxes on the spot

Your WA 3050 device can do all of this and more.

1.1 How to use the information in this
manual

Use as little or as much of the information in this manual as
you think you need. If you are familiar with the way GSM
phones work, you may be able to scan the calling
procedures to quickly grasp how to complete a familiar task
using the WA 3050 device.

You may not need to consult some of the appendices at all,
which contain reference information useful in some
situations. For example, the procedure for transferring
Palm-size PC data may be of interest if you previously
owned a Palm-size PC.

This owner’s guide has been written to meet the broadest
set of needs of users who will have different reasons for
purchasing and using the WA 3050 device. You are
probably interested in using some of its capabilities right
away more than others.

Recognizing this, chapters have been grouped into several
major divisions or topic clusters.

“Getting started” reviews WA 3050 setup information,
provides an overview of product features, and explains the
basics of the Pocket PC and dialing screen features.

“Voice communication” covers what you need to know to
use WA 3050 phone features.

14

“Data communication” explains how to configure, access,
and use applications on your WA 3050 device that transmit
and receive data with external resources such as your
carrier network, the Internet, fax machines, and remote
servers.

“Organiser, pocket computing, multimedia” describes how
to get started using ActiveSync, Pocket Outlook,
companion programs such as Word, Microsoft Money,
Excel, Windows Media Player, and Microsoft Reader. The
section on using Transcriber contains information from the
Microsoft Transcriber User Guide.

“Customizing your device” covers procedures for
customizing Pocket PC and phone program settings,
installing additional software, and configuring your WA
3050 device to use as a modem for your PC or notebook
computer.

“Managing resources” describes some tools and procedures
you can use to perform preventive maintenance and track
phone costs.

The appendices present reference information on various
topics.

A glossary defines terms that may be unfamiliar to you.

15

are finger-activated. You can use your fingers or the
stylus to select them.

§ “Dialing” refers to pressing or tapping keys on the soft

dialing pad.

§ Unless noted otherwise, “writing” refers to any method

of character input using the soft input panel. These
methods include typing using the soft keyboard,
printing using Character Recognizer, or writing cursive
using Transcriber (if installed).

§ “Phone component” refers to hardware and software

features that, collectively, comprise the WA 3050
phone function. “Phone” and “your phone” are
synonymous with “phone component”.

2.2.6 Switching among programs/tasks

You can switch from one program to another by selecting it
from the (Start) menu. You can tap this same icon on

the dialing screen during a call to open another program
while continuing to talk on the phone. You can customise
which programs you see on the Start menu (see
“Customizing screens and menus”). For some programs,

you will need to tap , Programs, then a program name
to switch to another program.

41

Note Tapping , then Phone displays the dialing screen,
but you will be unable to make a call until the phone has
been turned on (see “Turning the phone on and off”).

You can also switch to some programs by pressing one of
the program buttons located on the front or side of your
device. The icons on the buttons identify the programs they
display. You can select options for customizing which
programs these buttons display (see “Adjusting Pocket PC
device settings”).

2.2.7 Navigation bar and command bar

The navigation bar is located at the top of Pocket PC
program screens when you tap the icon. It displays the

title of the active program and the current time, and allows
you to switch to other programs and close screens.

42

another program

Use the command bar at the bottom of the screen to
perform tasks in programs. The command bar includes
menu names, buttons, and the input panel button. To create
a new item in the current program, tap New. To see the
name of a button, tap and hold the stylus on the button.
Drag the stylus off the button so that the command is not
carried out.

43

2.2.8 Pop-up menus

With pop-up menus, you can quickly choose an action for
an item. For example, you can use the pop-up menu in the
contact list to quickly delete a contact, make a copy of a
contact, or send e-mail to a contact. The actions in the pop­up menus vary from one program to another. To access a
pop-up menu, tap and hold the stylus on the item that you
want to perform the action on. When the menu appears, lift
the stylus, and tap the action you want to perform. Or tap
anywhere outside the menu to close the menu without
performing an action.

2.2.9 Modes of operation

With respect to the phone and PDA components, your
WA 3050 device operates in one of three states:

§ The PDA is turned on but the phone is off

44

§ The PDA is turned off but the phone is on

§ Both the phone and PDA are on

Different capabilities are available and certain restrictions
apply in each of these states. Understanding each of these
states and some of the restrictions can help you get a better
understanding of how your device works at a basic level as
well as decide when and whether you need to operate the
phone and PDA components at the same time.

When the PDA is on but the phone is off, you can access
Pocket PC programs but are unable to make or receive
voice calls, receive or reply to SMS messages, or use any
of the other programs that utilise data transmission such as
EzWAP and Inbox. You may find it useful to work in this
mode when you just want to use organizer features or
programs and do not want to be interrupted by incoming
calls.

In the second state, the PDA is turned off to conserve
power. You are unable to access Pocket PC programs or the
dialing screen (to make outgoing calls), but you can still
receive incoming calls because the phone component is
operating in standby mode. When an incoming call is
received, the PDA powers automatically on, the dialing
screen is displayed automatically, and you can accept or
reject the call. Work in this mode when you want to use
your device to answer incoming calls.

When the phone and PDA components are on at the same
time, you can access and work in Pocket PC programs and
answer incoming calls. If you are working in a Pocket PC
program and you receive a call, the display changes
automatically to the dialing screen, and you can answer or
reject the call. When you are done with the call, you can
switch back to the program you were working in and wait
for the next incoming call.

45

Note If you switch to one of the programs that utilises
wireless data transmission, you will be unable to receive
incoming calls during the time that your device is
connected.

If you must work with both the PDA and phone on, keep in
mind that you will have to charge the battery more often
and may not be as productive using organiser or other
Pocket PC programs if you are interrupted frequently by
incoming calls.

2.2.10 Notifications

Your WA 3050 device uses a variety of ways to notify you
when you have something to do. For example, if you have
set up an appointment in Calendar, a task with a due date in
Tasks, or an alarm in Clock, you will be notified in any of
the following ways:

§ A status LED flashes (green)

§ A message box appears on the screen

§ A sound is played.

When you receive an incoming call, your device vibrates
and may play a .WAV file or sound a default ring tone. A
status LED flashes amber and a .WAV file plays when you
receive an SMS message.

When the battery is charging, the GSM status LED flashes
amber. When the battery is fully charged, the status LED
remains lit until you disconnect the external power supply.

For more information about LED notification, refer to the
page facing the inside front cover.

To choose reminder types and sounds, tap , then
Settings. In the Personal tab, tap Sounds & Reminders.

46

To choose the .WAV file that plays when you receive an
incoming call, refer to the section “Selecting options for
ring tone and vibrating alert”. To choose the .WAV files
that play when you receive an incoming SMS or fax, refer
to “Configuring SMS & fax settings”.

Caution Be sure to tap and close any dialogue
boxes when they appear. Failure to do so may result in
a loss of your WA 3050 device’s audio capabilities.

2.2.11 Entering information

The number “keys” and other “buttons” on the WA 3050
soft dialing pad are designed to be finger-activated. You
can use your fingers or the stylus (if you prefer) to dial a
number and select context-sensitive buttons and other
options while using your phone.

You have a variety options for entering information on
other screens:

§ Use the soft keyboard or Character Recognizer to enter

typed text in the input panel

§ Write directly on the screen

§ Draw pictures on the screen

§ Speak into the microphone to record a message

§ Synchronize or copy information from your computer

to your WA 3050 device using ActiveSync. For more
information on ActiveSync, see the booklet
accompanying the ActiveSync CD or refer to the
ActiveSync Help.

47

2.2.12 Typing using the input panel

Use the input panel button to enter information in any
program. You can either type using the soft keyboard or
write using Character Recognizer. In either case, the
characters appear as typed text on the screen.

Tap the Input Panel button to show or hide the input
panel, then tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button to
see your choices.

When you use the input panel, your WA 3050 device
anticipates the word you are typing or writing and displays
it above the input panel. When you tap the displayed word,
it is inserted into your text at the insertion point. The more
you use your device, the more words it learns to anticipate.

48

To change word suggestion options, such as the number of
words suggested at one time, tap , Settings, Personal

tab, Input, then the Word Completion tab.

To type with the soft keyboard

1. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button, then

Keyboard.

2. Tap the keys with your stylus on the soft keyboard that

is displayed.

To use Character Recognizer

1. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button, then

Character Recognizer.

2. Write a letter in the box.

49

When you write a letter, it is converted to typed text that
appears on the screen. Some letters must be written in a

particular way to be recognized. For information, tap
to see an online demonstration, or see Appendix B for

specific instructions on using Character Recognizer.

To select typed text

If you want to edit or format typed text, you must select it
first by dragging the stylus across the text you want to
select.

You can cut, copy, and paste text by tapping and holding
the selected words then tapping an editing command on the
pop-up menu, or by tapping the command on the Edit
menu.

2.2.13 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 are used to writing on paper.
You can edit and format what you have written and convert
the information to text at a later time.

50

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.

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.

To select writing

If you want to edit what you write, you must first select it.

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

select until the insertion point appears.

51

2. Without lifting the stylus, drag it across the text you

want to select.

If you accidentally write on the screen, tap Edit then Undo
and try again. You can also select text by tapping the Pen
button to deselect it then dragging the stylus across the
screen.

You can cut, copy, and paste written text in the same way
you work with typed text: tap and hold the selected words,
then tap an editing command on the pop-up menu, or tap
the command on the Edit menu.

To convert writing to text

§ Tap Tools and then Recognize.
If you want to convert only certain words, select them

before tapping Recognize on the Tools menu (or tap and
hold the selected words then tap Recognize on the pop-up
menu). If a word is not recognized, it is left as writing.

52

If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different
words from a list of alternates or return to the original
writing. To do so, tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one
word at a time). On the pop-up menu, tap Alternates. A
menu with a list of alternate words appears. Tap the word
you want to use, or tap the writing at the top of the menu to
return to the original writing.

Tips for getting good recognition:

§ 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, try increasing the zoom level to

300% using the Tools menu.

53

§ Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps

between words so that it is easy to tell where words
begin and end.

§ Hyphenated words, words that use special characters

such as accents, and 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.

2.2.14 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.

To create a drawing

§ Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing

box appears. Subsequent strokes in or touching the
drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings
that do not cross three ruled lines will be treated as
writing.

54

Note You may want to change the zoom level so that you
can more easily work on or view your drawing. Tap Tools
and then a zoom level.

To select a drawing

If you want to edit or format a drawing, you must first
select it. Tap and hold the stylus on the drawing until the
selection handle appears. To select multiple drawings, tap
the Pen button so that it is no longer selected, then drag to
select the drawings you want.

You can cut, copy, and paste selected drawings by tapping
and holding the selected drawing then tapping an editing
command on the pop-up menu, or by tapping the command
on the Edit menu. To resize a drawing, make sure the Pen
button is not selected and drag a selection handle.

55

2.2.15 Recording a message

In any program where you can write or draw on the screen,
you can also quickly capture thoughts, reminders, and
phone numbers by recording a message. In Calendar,
Tasks, and Contacts, you can include a recording in the
Notes tab. In the Notes program, you can either create a
stand-alone recording or include a recording in a written
note. If you want to include the recording in a note, open
the note first.
