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”

§ 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.

“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.

1.2 Conventions

in a dialog box, dialog box titles, items within a dialog box, and icons are shown in bold type.

§ The names of function keys or key sequences on a

standard PC keyboard are shown in uppercase. Examples: TAB, BACKSPACE, ENTER, CTRL+V.

§ The symbol identifies cautions or warnings.

§ “Tap” describes the use of the stylus on a Pocket PC.

§ “Click” describes the use of a mouse on a PC or

notebook computer.

§ “Press” indicates that you can enter data or select

options on the touch screen with your fingers. For example, the “keys” and options on the soft dialing pad 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”.

§ “PDA component” refers to hardware and software

features that, collectively, define WA 3050 organiser and Pocket PC computing functions. “PDA” is synonymous with “PDA component”.
