You can create, edit, send, and receive documents including text, spreads hee ts, prese ntatio ns, a nd e-mail , manage your contacts and schedules, an d access the Internet (r equires an optional modem or network card and an optional PC Card expansion jacket).

Microsoft ActiveSync increases the power of your MobilePro P300 by sync hronizing t he informat ion on you r desktop comput er with you r MobilePro P300 so that your finished work is available when you need it.

To demonstrate the power and convenience of your MobilePro P300, picture yourself in the followi ng situations.

While out walking with a c ollea gue, your cell phone rings. It’s your



manager and he asks if the two of you are free this afternoon for an emerg ency meeting. While your colleague s earches through his pap er organizer, you tap a button on your MobilePro P300 and instantly see a list of the day’s appointments and meetings. You are able to quickly tell your manager your available times, and to make a note of the meeting while on th e call.

You’r e vi siting an imp ortant customer, gath er ing feedback to discuss



with colleagues back in the office. Usi ng Calen dar, Contacts, and In box, you sc hedu le a meet ing an d s e nd it to your col leagues whi le still on the road.

A calendar reminder alerts you that its time to leave for the airport to

catch your flight. You grab your MobilePro P300 and get to the airport in time. In the air, beca u s e you used ActiveSync to keep the information in your MobilePro P300 up-to-date, you are able to read and compose replies to your e-mails, review your task list, and make notes about your upcoming meetings . W hen you ge t back to the office, you use Acti v eSync to transfer your e-mail res p onses, tas k li s t changes, and notes to your computer.

And t hat’ s just th e beginn i ng of what you can do wit h your M obilePro P300. The following sections give you the basic information you need to get your MobilePro P300 up and running. You’ll find information on unpacking, controls, battery charging, basic operating features, and inst alling Acti veSync on your com p uter.
