Chapter 1: Getting Started

Welcome

Congratulations on purchasing a Pocket PC Phone. The integrated wireless voice and data capabilities mean that as well as keeping your important Personal Information Manager (PIM) information up-to-date and close at hand, you can make calls, send and receive e-mail, and look up valuable information from the Internet or your company’s network anytime, anywhere. Also, with Microsoft ActiveSync, the power of your Pocket PC Phone is increased by allowing you to synchronize the information on your PC with your Pocket PC Phone. Picture yourself in the following situations:

•

While walking with a colleague, your Pocket PC Phone rings. You look at the caller ID and see your manager is calling. She asks if you two are free this afternoon for an emergency meeting. While your colleague fumbles through his paper organizer, you press a button on your Pocket PC Phone and instantly see a list of today’s appointments and meetings. You are quickly able to tell your manager your available times, and make a note of the new meeting while on the call. You hang up and send e-mail with a meeting request for the three of you at the desired location.

• You are meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You download the latest movie information from the Internet to your PC, and then synchronize it with your Pocket PC Phone. At dinner, you pull out your Pocket PC Phone and review your movie options with your friends. A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to see the movie. You grab your Pocket PC Phone, check driving directions and head towards the theater.

•

Because ActiveSync keeps the information on your Pocket PC Phone up-to-date, you can leisurely review your current task list, make notes on the new books and DVDs you want to buy, and read and respond to e-mail messages quickly and conveniently. When you get back to the office, ActiveSync transfers any task changes you made - new notes, responses to e-mails, etc. – directly to your PC.

USB Cradle

•

Your Pocket PC Phone comes with a USB cradle. This allows you to recharge your Pocket PC Phone, as well as synchronize information between your Pocket PC Phone and a PC using ActiveSync.

To synchronize, plug the USB cradle into an available USB port

on your PC.

Temperature and Battery Life

Your Pocket PC Phone contains a rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery, which is housed permanently in your Pocket PC Phone. After a few years of continual use and recharging the battery will become unusable and should be changed through a service center. While you are using your Pocket PC Phone the amount of power consumed depends on whether you are talking on the phone, using the PIM and Internet functions or the Pocket PC Phone is on standby. The estimates for battery life (talk time: 4~5 hours, PIM: 15-17 hours and standby: 150 -170 hours) are based on only using one function. Since you will be continually swapping between functions, these estimates will vary.

Page 11

Your Pocket PC Phone contains a Lithium Polymer battery pack. There is a risk of fire and burns if the

battery pack is handled improperly. Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire or water. Do not attempt to open or service the battery pack. Replace only with the battery pack designated for this product. Dispose of batteries properly.

Recharging the Battery

Remembering to charge your battery is extremely important, as your Pocket PC Phone does not have a hard drive. All your data and any new programs you install are stored in Random Access Memory (RAM). In the event that the battery loses all its power, personal data and newly installed software programs will be wiped off. Only the default programs installed when you bought the Pocket PC Phone will remain. You can recharge your Pocket PC Phone in the following ways:

• Place your Pocket PC Phone in the cradle and connect the cradle to an external power source. The first time you use it initially charge for three to four hours. Then place your Pocket PC Phone in the cradle for a short time each day to recharge to its full capacity.

• You can plug the AC adapter into the optional DC Converter and then connect your Pocket PC Phone directly to an external power source.

When Your Battery Is Low

Your Pocket PC Phone has only one battery; however, a portion of that battery is saved as backup. If the battery gets very low, your Pocket PC Phone displays a warning message. If this occurs, save any unsaved data you are working on, perform synchronization with your PC and then turn off your Pocket PC Phone. Do not try to restart your Pocket PC Phone until you have connected to external power. If your Pocket PC Phone does shut down, the backup portion of your battery will protect your data for approximately 72 hours.

Optional Accessories

SD and MMC Cards

Your Pocket PC Phone has an expansion slot compatible with a range of SD and MMC memory cards, which are primarily used to back up or transfer files and data.

Inserting or removing a memory card

1. Push the memory card into the bottom slot until it clicks into place. The card is secure when it is not protruding from the base.

External Battery

You can purchase an optional External Battery to increase the battery life of your Pocket PC Phone by up to another 4 hours, and standby time by another 150 hours. The External Battery can be charged with either your Pocket PC Phone or with an External Battery charger. Charging with the External Battery charger should take about two and a half hours; when it is attached to the Pocket PC Phone, total charging for the External Battery and Pocket PC Phone should be approximately five hours.

Page 13

Attaching the External Battery

External Battery Screws

1. Remove the rubber cap protecting the Pocket PC Phone connector for the External Battery. The cap is situated just below the right screw on the back of the Pocket PC Phone.

2. Hook the External Battery into the embedded slot near the

ase of the back of your Pocket PC Phone (see picture to the

left).

3. Tighten the screws at the top of the External Battery into your Pocket PC Phone.

To view the current charge of the external battery

When you attach the External Battery an extra indicator will be added to the Power screen.

To view this indicator tap Start, Settings, System and then Power.

Chapter 3: Knowing Your Pocket PC Phone

Resetting the Pocket PC Phone and Clearing Memory

You can perform a soft reset or a full reset – a soft reset restarts your Pocket PC Phone and a full reset switches the battery off. The result of a soft reset is that some data may be lost in programs that are open. The result of a full reset is wiping all the data and new programs you have added - and returning the Pocket PC Phone to factory settings – which will only have the software that was present when you bought it. Therefore, it is important not to think about a full reset as you would restarting, shutting down or even switching off your desktop PC, but rather like a complete crash requiring you to wipe your operating system (OS). The importance of backing up data to an SD card or your computer cannot be stressed enough - in the event you have to perform a full reset your data will not be lost.

To perform a soft reset

If your Pocket PC Phone responds slowly, stops responding or freezes, try soft resetting it. A soft reset causes the Pocket PC Phone to restart and re-adjust memory allocation. Unsaved data in open windows may be lost.

• Use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button for about two seconds. (For details on finding soft reset, see “Chapter 2, Bottom Edge Components.”)

To perform a full reset

Clearing memory deletes all data and restores the Pocket PC Phone to its default settings. Programs installed at the factory remain, while data you have created and programs you have installed are erased.

1. Unscrew the stylus and use the smaller point of the top-half.

Page 16

2. Press the battery switch once to turn it off, and then once more to turn it back on.

Backing Up Files

Because any new programs or data are stored in RAM and will be lost if you have to perform a full reset, or your Pocket PC Phone loses all power for any other reason, it is absolutely paramount that you back up files to your computer or a memory card. When you are at your desktop PC you can synchronize with your computer to back up files. However, if you are unable to access your desktop PC, you will need to back up files to a SD or MMC card. In this case, you can back up individual files in Word or Excel or all files in SD backup.

To save Word or Excel files to a memory card

1. In application programs (e.g. Pocket Word or Excel) press Too ls , Options.

2. Tap the drop-down menu box under Save To and select Storage Card.

Page 17

Back up or restore your system using SD Backup

1. Push the memory card into the slot until it clicks into place (see Chapter 2, “Inserting or removing a memory card”). The card is secure when it is not protruding from the base.

2. Tap tab.

3. Tap Open, Storage Card.

4. Make sure there are no application programs running in the background, and then tap Start.

Screen Tapping Calibration and Recalibration

When you first start up your Pocket PC Phone, you will be asked to calibrate the screen by tapping the center of a cross with your stylus as it moves around the screen. This process ensures when you tap the screen with your stylus the item tapped is activated. If you are using your Pocket PC Phone and you discover tapping an item does not bring up the appropriate response, your Pocket PC Phone has lost its calibration.

To recalibrate the screen

•

Tap Settings, System and then Screen.

•

As described above, tap the center of the cross to with your stylus as it moves around the screen.

• 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 o actions available for that item. On the pop-up menu that appears, tap the action you want to perform.

Navigation Bar and Command Bar

•

The navigation bar is located at the top of the screen. It displays the active program and current time, and allows you to switch to programs and close screens.

• Use the command bar at the bottom of the screen to perform tasks in programs. The command bar includes menu names, buttons, and the Input Panel button. To create a new item in the current program, tap New. To see the name of a button, tap and hold the stylus on the button. Drag the stylus off the button so that the command is not carried out.

Pop-up Menus

• With pop-up menus, you can quickly choose an action for an item. For example, you can use the pop-up menu in the contact list to quickly delete a contact, make a copy of a contact, or send an e-mail message to a contact. The actions in the pop-up menus vary from program to program. To access a pop-up menu, tap and hold the stylus on the item name that you want to perform the action on. When the menu appears, lift the stylus and tap the action you want to perform. Or tap anywhere outside the menu to close the menu without performing an action.

Entering Text Using the Input Panel

•

Use the input panel to enter information in any program on your Pocket PC Phone. You can either type using the soft keyboard or write using Letter Recognizer, Block Recognizer, or Transcriber. In all cases, the characters appear as typed text on the screen.

Writing on the Screen

In any program that accepts writing, such as the Notes program, and in the Notes tab in Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks, you can use your stylus to write directly on the screen. Write the way you do on paper. You can edit and format what you have written and convert the information to text at a later time.

To write on the screen

To convert writing to text

1. Tap Tools and then Recognize.

2. If you want to convert only certain words, select them before tapping Recognize on the Tools menu (or tap and hold the selected words and then tap Recognize on the pop-up menu). If a word is not recognized, it is left as writing.

3. If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of alternates or return to the original writing. To do so, tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one word at a time). On the pop-up menu, tap Alternates. A menu with a list of alternate words appears. Tap the word you want to use, or tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original writing.

Tips for getting good recognition

1. Write neatly.

2. Write on the lines and draw the end of lowercase letters (y

, g , p) 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 line.

3. For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Tools menu.

4. Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps

etween words so that the Pocket PC Phone can easily tell

Page 27

where words begin and end.

5. Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.

6. If you change a word or number (such as changing a “3” to an “8”) after you attempt to recognize it, the writing you add will not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing 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 resized, 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

ecome part of the drawing. Drawings that do not cross three

ruled lines will be treated as writing.

To select a drawing

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

•

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.

• 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 resize a drawing, make sure the Pen button is not selected, and drag a selection handle.

You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily work on or view your drawing. Tap To ol s and then a zoom level.
