4. GPS and GPS Signals

GPS stands for “Global Positioning System”, which is a network of satellites that transmit accurate time and position information worldwide. GPS receivers receive signals from these satellites and use the information to determine an exact location. Satellites orbit the earth at approximately 20,200 km (12,000 miles). While a GPS receiver can detect signals from up to 12 satellites at any time, only three signals are needed to provide a position or “GPS fix” (latitude and longitude) for vehicle navigation systems.

The PiN GPS antenna receives GPS signals. To receive GPS signals, ensure that the PiN is outdoors, or in a vehicle outdoors, and the GPS antenna has an unobstructed view of the sky. The PiN can operate in all weather conditions except when it is snowing.

NOTE: When you start SmartS, the GPS receiver will automatically turn on.

To manually turn the GPS on or off:

Tap

Æ SettingsÆ System tab Æ GPS.

Tap ON or OFF.

PiN 570 | User Manual

5. Microsoft ActiveSync

Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your computer with the information on your PiN. Synchronization compares the data on your PiN with your computer and updates both computers with the most recent information.

NOTE: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for specific information types.

Use ActiveSync to:

• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your PiN with Microsoft Outlook

data on your computer.

• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your PiN and computer.

Your files are automatically converted to the correct format

With ActiveSync, you can also:

• Back up and restore your PiN data.

• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your PiN and computer.

• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example,

you can synchronize continually while connected to your computer or only when you choose the synchronize command.

• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is

synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.

Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your computer from the PiN 570 Companion CD. ActiveSync comes preinstalled on your PiN.

WARNING

Do not connect your PiN to your computer unless you have Microsoft ActiveSync

installed or until prompted to do so during the installation process.

8. Positioning the PiN in a Vehicle

Before you begin, determine whether your vehicle is fitted with a heat-reflecting or heated windscreen. If so, you will need to purchase an external antenna for your PiN to receive GPS signals.

Read the Safety Notice on page 6 to ensure that the PiN does not obstruct the driver’s view, or interfere with the operation of vehicle airbags and safety devices.

Installing the PiN in Your Vehicle

First, check the Hard Reset on the bottom of the PiN. If the button is to the left, then remove the stylus and use it to move the switch to the right.

Choose a suitable position on the windshield where the PiN will be clearly visible by the driver without obstructing the view of the road. Clean and dry the suction-cup and the windshield. Do not touch either area after it is cleaned.

1. Insert the four tabs at the end of the suction-mount arm into the four slots on the PDA cradle. Ensure that the Close arrow on the suction-mount is pointed toward the top end of the cradle.

2. Slide the suction-mount arm towards the top of the PDA cradle. The cradle should click into place.

3. Ensure that a memory card has been placed in the PiN’s memory card slot. See page 17 for detailed instructions on how to insert the memory card.

4. Open the GPS antenna outwards, so that it has a clear view of the sky.

5. Close the side-arms of the PDA cradle so that the PiN is held securely in place.

Learning to use your PiN is easy. This chapter describes how to use the basic functions of your PiN.

PiN Buttons and the Stylus

On the front of your PiN are four hardware buttons, which each start a different program. There are also two toggles, one on the front, and one on the side, which can be used to scroll through menus. Your PiN also comes with a stylus for selecting items and entering information on screen.

The stylus is used instead of a mouse on your Pocket PC. The stylus can be used in the following ways:

• Tap. Touch the screen once with the stylus to open items and select options.

• Drag. Hold the stylus on the screen and drag across the screen to select text and images. Drag in a list

to select multiple items.

• Tap and hold. Tap and hold the stylus on an item to see a list of actions available for that item. Before

To type with the soft keyboard:

1. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button and then Keyboard.

2. On the soft keyboard that is displayed, tap the keys with your stylus.

PiN 570 | User Manual

The soft keyboard can be used in three modes: small, large with gestures enabled, and large without gestures enabled. The larger modes gives the advantage of larger keys and therefore higher accuracy; the small mode allows you to view the soft keyboard in a style similar to a standard QWERTY keyboard. The different keyboard modes are shown on below, and the way to switch between them is set out on page 28.

By default, your PiN displays the small keyboard with on-screen special commands.

If you choose to view the large keyboard without gestures enabled; the special commands remain, but you must tap the button in the top left-hand corner in order to enter numbers.

If you choose to view the large keyboard with gestures enabled, you can enter numbers without tapping through to another keyboard, but you can no longer tap to use special commands. You can activate these commands using the following methods.

1. To space forward, swipe the stylus horizontally across the keyboard in a forward direction.

2. To move backwards, swipe the stylus horizontally across the keyboard in a backwards

direction.

3. To carriage return, swipe the stylus vertically downwards on the keyboard.

4. To shift + key, place the stylus on the key and swipe vertically upwards across the keyboard.
