• Guest is for temporary device usage by another person.

Getting started

Writing on the screen

In any program that accepts writing, such as

Notes, and in the Notes tab in Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks, you can use your

stylus to write directly on the screen. Write as you would on paper. You can edit and format what you have written and convert the information into typed text at a later time.

Tap the pen button to switch to writing mode. This action displays lines on the screen to help you write. Some programs that accept writing may not have the pen button. See the manual for each particular program to ﬁnd out how to switch to writing mode.

Please note

T9 is the entry mode, that is, when

you enter a word, the T9 tries to automatically match the letters you have selected with the most likely completed word.

Tips for good recognition:

1. Write clearly.

2. Write on the lines and draw descanters 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 bottom line.

3. For better recognition, use a zoom level of 150% or higher by tapping input panel icon > Options… > Options tab to change the zoom level.

4. Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that the device can easily tell where words begin and end.

5. Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted. If you edit or add to a word after attempting to recognize it, the new writing will not be included if you attempt to recognize it again.

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 re-sized, 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.

Getting started

To select a drawing:

If you want to edit or format a drawing, you must select it ﬁrst.

1. Tap and hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection handle appears. To select multiple drawings, deselect the pen button and then drag to select the drawings you want.

2. You can cut, copy, and paste selected drawings by tapping and holding the selected drawing and then tapping an editing command on the pop up menu, or by tapping the command on the Edit menu. To re-size a drawing, make sure the Pen button is not selected, and drag a selection handle. To change the zoom level so it is easier to work or view your drawing, tap Tools and then select a zoom level.

2.8 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.

In the Messaging program, you can also add a recording to an E-mail message.

To create a recording:

1. To add a recording to a note, open

the note before recording. Tap Start > Programs > Notes.

2. If there is no Record/Playback toolbar,

tap Menu > View Recording Toolbar.

3. Hold your device’s microphone near your mouth or another sound source.

4. To start recording, tap

5. To stop recording, tap

. The new recording appears in the note list or as an embedded icon.

6. To play a recording, tap in the open note or tap the recording in the note list.

You can also access the Record/Playback toolbar by pressing the Record button, which is the ﬁrst button from the top on the right side of your Pocket PC.

To quickly create a recording, hold down the Record button. When you hear the beep, begin your recording. Release the button when you are ﬁnished.

The new recording is stored in the open note, or as a stand-alone recording, if no

note is opened.

Your Xda Atom supports 64MB RAM capacity; however, you may need to back up data and any new programs that you install in the RAM to guard against data loss. To back up your Contact, Calendar, etc., please set up the synchronization partnership with your PC and connect Xda Atom with PC. ActiveSync will start automatically.

2.10 Memory expansion

To expand your Xda Atom’s memory, please insert a MiniSD card into the card slot on the top of the phone in the direction indicated below. Make sure the card is inserted correctly.

Please note

Your Xda Atom does not come with

a MiniSD card supplied. This is an optional accessory. Please contact your supplier for further details.

2.11 Resetting your Xda

Atom

Your Xda Atom can be reset in the following two ways: a soft reset or a hard reset. Executing soft reset allows you to reboot your Xda Atom; only some data in opened programs may be lost. Your Xda Atom returns to the same status as the last time you used it. However, a hard reset turns the battery off, returns the device to its default settings, and deletes all programs, ﬁles, contacts and other information you have saved to the device. It is therefore extremely important to back up data to a storage card or your computer on a regular basis in case a hard reset has to be performed.

To perform a soft reset

If your Xda Atom responds slowly, stops responding, or freezes, you can soft reset it. A soft reset causes the Xda Atom to restart and re-adjust memory allocation. Unsaved data in any opened applications may be lost. Use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button, as shown below.

Getting started

A hard reset clears memory, deletes all data (such as owner information under Setup Wizard and AutoConﬁgurator) and restores the Xda Atom to its default settings. The action will erase all data that you have created and programs you have installed, but will keep all the preinstalled programs that were in the phone when your Xda Atom was ﬁrst delivered to you. Press and hold the power button, and then use the stylus to press the soft reset button at the same time. Be sure you have backed up all your data in an mini SD card or on your PC before performing a hard reset.

2.12 Power management

To reduce the power consumption of your Xda Atom, you may change the backlight duration and brightness level. Also, you can save more power by setting the phone to turn off automatically if it is not in use for a speciﬁc period of time.

To check battery power level:

Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Power > Battery tab. A bar indicates the

remaining battery power level.

To turn off the device automatically:

Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Power > Advanced and select the duration

before your Xda Atom turns off by itself. This feature controls the screen standby time.

To reduce the brightness level:

Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Backlight > Brightness tab and adjust the

brightness level from 1 to10 (the darkest to brightest).

To adjust the backlight duration:

Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Backlight > Battery Power or AC Power

tab to select backlight duration and condition for backlight on/off under either battery or AC power supply.

After you have selected Inbox for synchronization in ActiveSync, Microsoft® Outlook E-mail messages are synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. During synchronization:

• Messages are updated from the Inbox

folder on your PC or the Microsoft

Exchange server to the Inbox folder of the Outlook E-mail account on your device. You can only synchronize information directly with an Microsoft® Exchange Server if you are running Microsoft® Outlook® 2002 or later. By default, you’ll receive messages from the last three days only, the ﬁrst 100 lines of each new message, and ﬁle attachments of less than 100KB in size.

• Messages in the Outbox folder on your

device are transferred to Exchange or Outlook and then sent from those programs.

• The messages on the two computers are linked. When you delete a message on your Xda Atom, it is deleted from your PC the next time you synchronize.

• Messages in subfolders in other E-mail folders in Outlook are synchronized only if they have been selected for synchronization in ActiveSync. For information on initiating Outlook E-mail synchronization or changing synchronization settings, see ActiveSync Help on the PC or Connections Help.

Please note

Text messages (SMS) and Multimedia

messages (MMS) are not received through synchronization. Instead, they are sent to your device via your network operator.

Calendar

• You can synchronize calendar items on your Xda Atom with calendar items on your PC or Microsoft® Exchange Server. You can only synchronize information directly with an Microsoft® Exchange Server if you are running Microsoft® Outlook® 2002 or later. Calendar synchronization is automatically selected in ActiveSync.

• Calendar items entered on one computer are copied to the other during synchronization. Handwritten notes and drawings are saved as metaﬁles (pictures).

Contacts

• Contacts stored on your Xda Atom can be synchronized with Outlook contacts stored on your PC or with Microsoft® Outlook® 2002 or later.

• New items entered in one location are copied to the other during synchronization. Handwritten notes and drawings are saved as pictures when synchronizing with your PC, but are removed when synchronizing with a server. For more information on synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the PC.

Synchronization

Tasks

• Tasks stored on your device can be synchronized with Outlook on your PC. Task synchronization is automatically selected in ActiveSync.

• New items entered on one computer are copied to your phone during synchronization. Handwritten notes and drawings are saved as metaﬁles (pictures). For more information on synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the PC.

Notes

Notes can be synchronized between your

PC and Xda Atom either through notes synchronization or ﬁle synchronization. Notes synchronization synchronizes the notes on your Xda Atom with Outlook Notes on your PC. File synchronization synchronizes all notes on your Xda Atom with the My Documents folder on your PC.

To synchronize your notes through notes synchronization, ﬁrst select the Notes information type for synchronization in ActiveSync. The next time you synchronize, all notes in My Documents and its subfolder on your device will appear in Outlook Notes on your PC. Notes that contain only text will appear as regular notes in Outlook on your PC, while notes containing written text or drawings will appear in the device format. In addition, all notes in the Notes group in Outlook on the PC will appear in Notes on the device.

To synchronize your notes as ﬁles, in ActiveSync, select the Files information type for synchronization and clear the

Notes information type. When you select Files, the My Documents folder is created

on your PC’s desktop. All .pwi ﬁles placed in the My Documents folder on your device and all .doc ﬁles placed in the \My Documents folder on your PC will be synchronized. Password-protected ﬁles cannot be synchronized. ActiveSync converts documents during synchronization. For more information on synchronization or ﬁle conversion, see ActiveSync Help on the PC.

Please note

When you delete or change an item

on either your PC or device, the item is changed or deleted in the other location the next time you synchronize.

Bluetooth

With Bluetooth capability, devices can exchange information within a distance of about 10 meters without requiring a physical connection. Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology.

Unlike infrared, you don’t need to line up the devices to beam information with Bluetooth. The devices only need to be within a range of about 10 meters of each other. You can even beam information to a device in a different room, as long as it is within range. The software preinstalled in your Xda Atom allows you to use Bluetooth in the following ways:

• Exchange information, such as ﬁles, appointments, tasks, and contact cards, between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities. For example, if you and a co-worker each have a device with Bluetooth, you can beam items between your devices; these items could include ﬁles, contact cards, appointments, tasks, etc.

• Create a dial-up modem connection between your device and a Bluetooth phone. You can then use the Bluetooth phone as a modem.

Getting connected

Bluetooth settings

To access the Bluetooth settings screen, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Bluetooth.

To turn Bluetooth on or off, check/uncheck the Turn on Bluetooth option.

With Bluetooth off, you cannot use Bluetooth to either send or receive information. You might want to turn the radio off at times in order to conserve the battery power, or in situations where radio use is prohibited, for example on airplanes and in hospitals.

By default, the Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, and then turn off your device, the Bluetooth radio also turns off. When you turn on your device again, the Bluetooth radio automatically turns on the radio. If you wish to turn on the radio, turn off Bluetooth ﬁrst, and then turn on the radio.

To make your device discoverable, check

Make this device discoverable to other devices option.

If the Bluetooth radio is turned on, then all of the other Bluetooth devices within range (about 10 meters) can detect your device and attempt to beam information to it, establish a bond, or use a Bluetooth service. In this mode, other devices can detect your device whether or not a bond has been created; however, in order to receive a beam from another device, you must accept it on your device.

Other Bluetooth devices can now detect your device and attempt to beam information to it, establish a bond, or use a Bluetooth service. Note that, to receive beamed information, you must accept it on your device by selecting Discoverable; this also turns on your Bluetooth radio.

If you no longer want your device to be discoverable, uncheck the Turn on

Bluetooth option or uncheck the Make this device discoverable to other devices

option to leave the radio on, but not allow detection by other devices.

Bonds

To exchange information in a secure manner, you may use a bond to create a relationship between your Xda Atom and another Bluetooth device. To create a bond, you need to enter the same personal identiﬁcation number (PIN) on the two devices that you want to bond. You need only create a bond once between two devices. Once a bond is created, the devices recognize the bond and are able to exchange information without your needing to enter a PIN again.

To create a Bond:

You can create a bond between your device and another device that has Bluetooth. Once you do this, Bluetooth doesn’t need to be in discoverable mode in order for you to beam information between the two devices; you only need to have the Bluetooth radio turned on.

E-mail messages are sent by using an address that you receive from your Internet network operator (ISP), an E-mail network operator, or your employer. You can also send and receive E-mail by synchronizing with your PC, or by connecting to a Post Ofﬁce Protocol 3 (POP3) or Internet Message Access Protocol 4 (IMAP4) mail server. Aside from the default Outlook E-mail account, you need to manually set up other E-mail accounts.

How you download copies of messages depends on how you are receiving messages:

• If you receive E-mail messages through a remote E-mail server, follow the instructions as

described in the following Downloading messages from a server.

• If you receive E-mail messages through ActiveSync, begin synchronization. For more

information, please refer to 3. Synchronization.

With synchronization, messages are synchronized between your Xda Atom and the PC

by using ActiveSync and Microsoft Exchange or Outlook. For more information, see 3. Synchronization.

1. Open Messaging on your Xda Atom by tapping Start > Messaging.

2. Select the Outlook E-mail folder.
