Maximizing battery life

Battery life depends on how you use your smartphone. You can maximize battery life by following some easy guidelines:

• Charge your smartphone whenever

you’re at your desk, or charge it overnight each day. The battery in your smartphone has a much longer useful life if you charge it frequently instead of waiting until it’s fully drained.

• If you spend a lot of time using the

camera, games, media players (including listening to music with wireless headphones using the built-in Bluetooth

wireless technology), or other applications, keep an eye on the battery icon and charge when necessary.

• Wireless features (phone, email,

messaging, and web) generally consume more power than the organizer features. If you don’t plan to use the wireless features on your

NAVIGATING AROUND THE SCREEN

CHAPTER

Navigating around the screen

To move around the smartphone screen, you can use the 5-way navigator or you can tap items on the screen with the stylus. As you become familiar with your smartphone, you’ll find your own favorite way to scroll, highlight, and select items.

The 5-way includes the Right , Left , Up , Down and Center buttons.

TIP

Some third-party applications may not work with the 5-way navigator, and you must use the stylus instead.

DID YOU KNOW

Custom navigation features are available when you browse the web using Internet Explorer (see Viewing a web page

TIP

The arrow icons that indicate directions on the 5-way are different from the onscreen scroll arrows and the arrows that indicate that a list is available (see Selecting options in a list).

CHAPTER

Scrolling through screens

As on a computer, on your smartphone you scroll to move from field to field or page to page, or in some cases to highlight an item or option in a list. There are several methods of scrolling:

• On the 5-way , press Right ,

Left , Up , or Down to move to the next field, button, or action in that direction.

• Press and hold Option while

pressing Up or Down to scroll one screen at a time. These keys work just like the Page Up and Page Down keys on your computer keyboard.

• Press and hold Option while

pressing Left or Right to jump to the top or bottom of the current document or entry.

• When viewing a screen with tabs, such

as when adding a contact, press Down to scroll to the tabs, and then press Left or Right to move between tabs.

• When inside a text field, press Right

or Left to move to the next character, and press Up or Down to move between lines.

• When inside a list, press and hold

Up or Down to scroll rapidly through the list.

TIP

scroll bar.

Closing screens

To close the current screen and return to the previous screen, do either of the following:

• Press OK .

• Use the stylus to tap or in the

upper-right corner of the screen.

Highlighting and selecting items

On most screens, one item—a button, a list entry, or a check box—is highlighted by default. The highlight identifies which item is affected by your next action. Use the 5-way to move the highlight from one item to another before opening or selecting it.

The highlight can take one of two forms, depending on what is highlighted:

Border: This rectangular border highlights items such as an onscreen button (for example, OK, Dismiss, or Hide), a check box, an option, or a web link.

TIP

These buttons are not accessible using the

5-way.

CHAPTER

Reverse type (light text on a dark background): This highlights items such as

a phone number, an email address, text, or an item in a list.

After highlighting an item with the 5-way, you can select (activate) it by pressing Center or by tapping the item with the stylus.

Highlighting text

You can use the stylus to highlight text on the screen. Tap and drag the stylus across the text you want to highlight. To highlight a word, double-tap it. To highlight a paragraph, triple-tap it.

Using the softkeys

Because the left and right softkeys give you quick access to tasks that you can do on the current screen, the softkey items vary from application to application and from screen to screen. Look on the screen directly above the softkey to see the action that it takes in the current context. In some contexts, these keys may do nothing at all. In most cases the right softkey opens the menu, and the left softkey activates a specific command, such as New or Edit. Remember that softkey functions vary from screen to screen, so be sure to check the onscreen label before pressing the softkeys.

TIP

The best way to learn to use the 5-way is to experiment. Press the 5-way buttons, and as you do, follow the movement of the border around the screen. The behavior of the 5-way varies slightly in each application.

TIP

When text is highlighted, you can press

Backspace to delete the highlighted text.

numbers. This option is available only when North American Dialing is enabled.

International Dialing Prefix: Adds the specified number in front of international phone numbers when dialing from outside North America. When an international number beginning with + (plus sign) is dialed, the + is replaced with the number in this field.

4 Press OK .

Setting your abbreviated dialing preferences

Abbreviated dialing is a way to automatically dial a complete phone number when you enter a shortened version of that number. Shortened phone numbers are typically used in corporate phone systems to allow internal users to dial an extension number rather than the complete number.

For example, if your co-worker’s phone number is 1-555-222-1234, you may need

Page 69

YOUR PHONE

CUSTOMIZING PHONE SETTINGS

CHAPTER

to dial only the last five digits of that number from an internal phone. In that case, you would dial 21234. If that shortened five-digit internal number appears in your contact list or in a corporate Global Address List (GAL), your smartphone cannot dial that number because it is not on the internal phone network. You can, however, use the abbreviated dialing settings to automatically complete shortened numbers.

For example, if all the phone numbers in your office begin with 1-555-22, followed by a five-digit extension, set your smartphone to automatically enter 1-555-22 as the prefix before any five-digit number. When you enter your colleague’s five-digit extension, your smartphone automatically dials 1-555-22 plus the five-digit extension. The complete number is 1-555-222-1234.

SYNCHRONIZING INFORMATION

SYNCHRONIZATION OVERVIEW

CHAPTER

Synchronization overview

When you synchronize, info you enter on your smartphone, your computer, or your corporate server is automatically updated in the other location. There’s no need to enter the info twice. This is true whether you sync with your computer using desktop synchronization software (see Setting up your computer for synchronization) or wirelessly with your company’s Exchange server using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (see Setting up wireless synchronization

How do I synchronize?

There are a number of ways to synchronize:

• Install desktop sync software on your

computer.

• Synchronize wirelessly with an

Exchange server.

• Maximize your sync options by doing

both.

Synchronizing with desktop sync software

BEFORE YOU BEGIN Install the current

version of the desktop sync software. You must install this software even if you have already installed a previous version of desktop sync software. See Installing ActiveSync desktop software: Windows XP or Installing Windows Mobile Device Center: Windows Vista for instructions.

smartphone to your computer using any of the following:

Sync cable: See Synchronizing using the sync cable.

Bluetooth

wireless technology: See

Synchronizing over a Bluetooth connection

Infrared (IR): See Synchronizing over an infrared connection.

The sync application on your smartphone is called ActiveSync. The name of the desktop sync software on your computer depends on your computer’s operating system:

Windows XP computer: The desktop sync software is called ActiveSync

desktop software. Windows Vista computer: The desktop

sync software is called Windows Mobile Device Center.

Synchronizing wirelessly with the server

You can set up your smartphone to synchronize email and other information wirelessly with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or Exchange Server 2003 using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync (see

Setting up wireless synchronization

). If you choose this method, synchronization takes place automatically after setup. You do not need to install the software from the Windows Mobile Getting Started CD.

NOTE We recommend that you install the

desktop sync software from the CD even if you synchronize wirelessly with the server. You need the desktop sync software to synchronize pictures, videos, music files, and other info directly with your computer.

What can I synchronize?

If you have Microsoft Office Outlook® 2002 or later installed on your computer, by default, the following information is synchronized when you synchronize using either desktop sync software or Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync:

CHAPTER

Setting up wireless synchronization

Does your company use Microsoft Outlook as its email solution? Does your company also use Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or 2003 as its email server? If so, you may be able to wirelessly synchronize the email and other Outlook info on your smartphone and the same info stored on the Exchange server using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.

If you are using Exchange Server 2007, or Exchange Server 2003 that has been upgraded to Service Pack 2, you may be able to take advantage of the additional features of Microsoft Direct Push. Microsoft Direct Push is a two-way wireless delivery method that keeps your Outlook information always up-to-date and provides more efficient communication between the server and your smartphone. It includes features like Global Address List, Tasks Over The Air (OTA), and IP-based push updating of Calendar and Messaging (email and text messages).

BEFORE YOU BEGIN To synchronize

wirelessly, you need to set up an Exchange Server account. Work with your system administrator to gather the following info, and then follow the steps in this section to set up an account:

• Mail server address and domain name.

• The username and password you use to

access your corporate mail server.

• Security connection: Does your server

use an encrypted (SSL) connection?

• Security measure: Is it OK to store your

corporate email password on your smartphone?

DID YOU KNOW

Because your desktop copy of Outlook also syncs with the server, whatever is synchronized to the server from your smartphone also shows up in Outlook; and whatever you enter or change in Outlook on your computer syncs to the server and then shows up on your smartphone.
