the power consumption will be higher than normal. Please use the AC
adapter when:
The Toshiba Pocket PC e750 is operated while connected to your
computer.
The Toshiba Pocket PC e750 is operated with a storage card or
with any other optional equipment.
Select the short power-off time in the setting menu. This will shorten
the time the unit will remain on if not used. For more information, see
“Customize Your Toshiba Pocket PC” in this chapter.
Turn off the Screen Light.
Set the screen brightness to power save mode (Med Bright or low
Bright). Also shorten the light turn-off time. For more information, see
“Customize Your Toshiba Pocket PC” in this chapter.
Use the Toshiba Pocket PC with an ambient temperature between
15°C (59°F) and 25°C (77°F). This temperature range is the most
effective for the battery.
When you use the Toshiba Pocket PC e750 in high or low
temperature environments, the operable time is shortened due to
the decrease of the battery capacity.
Turn off the Wireless Communication Switch when you don’t use
Wireless LAN (Wireless LAN models only).
Battery Life
The removable battery has a limited life. Repeated charging/discharging
of the battery gradually decreases operable time. When the operable time
has been diminished, it is time to replace the removable battery with a
new one.
Do not leave the Toshiba Pocket PC in a place of high or low
temperature. It may shorten battery life.
If you have not used the Toshiba Pocket PC for several days, its battery
charge level reading may be inaccurate. Fully recharge the battery before
using.

Tips for getting good recognition:
Write neatly.
Write on the lines and draw descenders 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.
For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the
Tools menu.
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.
Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as
accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.
If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an
“8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will
not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.

Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages
Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in either of these ways:
Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft
Outlook on your PC.
Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail
server through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a network.
Synchronizing E-mail Messages
E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general
synchronization process. You will need to enable Inbox synchronization in
ActiveSync. For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see
ActiveSync Help on the PC.
During synchronization:
Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on
your computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your device. By
default, you will receive messages from the past three days only, the
first 100 lines of each message, and file attachments of less than
100 KB 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 device, it's deleted from your PC the next time you
synchronize.
Messages in subfolders or other e-mail folders in Outlook are
synchronized only if they have been selected for synchronization in
ActiveSync.

Microsoft Pocket Outlook
When you connect to your e-mail server or synchronize with your
computer, by default, you’ll receive messages from the last five days only,
the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachments of less than
100 KB in size. The original messages remain on the e-mail server or your
computer.
You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in full during your
next synchronization or e-mail server connection. In the message list, tap
and hold the message you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap
Mark for Download. The icons in the Inbox message list give you visual
indications of message status.
You specify your downloading preferences when you set up the service or
select your synchronization options. You can change them at any time:

3. Compose your message. To enter preset or frequently used
messages, tap My Text and select a message.
4. Tap Send when you’ve finished the message. If you are working
offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and will be sent
the next time you connect. If you are working online, it is sent
immediately.
Managing E-mail Messages and Folders
Each e-mail account has its own folder hierarchy with five default folders:
Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, and Sent Items. The messages you
receive and send through the mail account are stored in these folders.
You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy. The Deleted
Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the device.
The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends on the
Inbox options you have chosen. In the message list, tap Tools and then
Options. On the Message tab, select your options.
If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools, and
then Manage Folders to create new folders. To move a message to
another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message and then
tap Move to on the pop-up menu.
Folder behavior with a direct connection to an e-mail
server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.
If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook
will automatically be synchronized with your device. You can select to
synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync.
The folders you create and the messages you move will then be
mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from
the Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated
Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family
folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read the
messages while away from your computer.
If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you
created, the link is broken between the messages on the device and
their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail
server will see that the messages are missing from the device Inbox
and delete them from the server. This prevents you from having
duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no
longer have access to messages that you move to folders created
from anywhere except the device.
If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you
move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to
you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your
device or computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever
you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/ delete
folders when connected.
