Before You Start Charge the Battery
The hard reset switch on the back of your Pocket PC should be switched to
the ON (down) position before you can use your Pocket PC. If th is is not
the case, please set it to the ON position.
Your Pocket PC contains a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. The battery
must be charged before you use the Pocket PC the first time. You can
periodically recharge thereafter.
Battery power is monitored by your Pocket PC. Warning messages and
battery low icons are displayed when battery power becomes low. If you
receive a “battery low” warning message, you should save your data and
recharge the battery as soon as possible to avoid data loss.
1.
Make sure that your Pocket PC is switched off.
2.
Unscrew the cap of your stylus. Use the pointed end of the cap to slide
the hard reset switch to the ON (down) position.
You can also monitor battery power activity through the “power
remaining” indicator on your Pocket PC. Tap
Start, Settings
, the
System
tab and
Power
to see the indicator.
Use the Pocket PC cradle and AC adapter to charge the battery. You can
also directly charge the Pocket PC using the AC adapter.
Note
Before using your Pocket PC for the first time, you need to charge
and calibrate the battery.
Charge the battery as follows:
1.
You may need to connect the appropriate converter to the AC
adapter’s plug according to your country.
2.
Connect your Pocket PC to an AC power source.

Pop-up Menus Notifications
Pop-up menus are used throughout your Pocket PC and vary slightly from
program to program. With pop-up menus, you can quickly choose an
action for an item.
Your Pocket PC can remind you of things 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 are notified in any of the following ways.
For example, you can use the pop-up menu in the Tasks list to quickly
delete a task or create a copy. To access the pop-up menu, tap and hold the
stylus on the task name that you want to copy or delete. When the pop-up
menu appears, lift the stylus and tap the action you want to perform. To
close the menu without performing an action, tap outside the menu.
