CAUTION: Safety Instructions (continued)

Power

• Use only the Dell-provided AC adapter approved for use with this device. Use of another AC adapter may cause a fire or explosion.

• Before you connect the device to an electrical outlet, check the AC adapter voltage rating to ensure that the required voltage and frequency match the available power source.

• To remove the device from all power sources, turn the device off, remove the battery pack, and disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet.

• To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and device power cables into properly grounded power sources. These power cables may be equipped with 3-prong plugs to provide an earth grounding connection. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from the power cable plug. If you use a power extension cable, use the appropriate type, 2-prong or 3-prong, to mate with the AC adapter power cable.

• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter’s power cable and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on. If you are using a multiple-outlet power strip, use caution when plugging the AC adapter’s power cable in to the power strip. Some power strips may allow you to insert the plug incorrectly. Incorrect insertion of the power plug could result in permanent damage to your device, as well as risk of electric shock and/or fire. Ensure that the ground prong of the power plug is inserted into the mating ground contact of the power strip.

About ActiveSync

You can synchronize the information on your computer with the information on your device with ActiveSync. Synchronization compares the data on your device with the data on your computer and updates both with the most recent information. For example:

• Keep Microsoft Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device with Microsoft Outlook data on your computer.

• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your device and your computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

NOTE: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of

information. You can change ActiveSync options to synchronize specific types of information.

With ActiveSync, you can also:

• Back up and restore your device data.

• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and your computer.

• Select a synchronization mode to control when synchronization occurs. For example, you can synchronize continuously or only when you select the synchronize command.

• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.

To synchronize your data, you need both the Microsoft Windows Pocket PC versions of ActiveSync. You must install the Windows version of ActiveSync on your computer using the Dell™ Companion CD. The Pocket PC version is already installed on your device.

and

NOTE: Before connecting your device to a computer for the first time, ensure

that you install ActiveSync on the computer from the Dell™ Companion CD.

• Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail server through an ISP or a network.

Synchronizing E-Mail Messages

You can synchronize e-mail messages along with the rest of your data if you enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync. For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on your computer.

NOTE: You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your computer from a

remote location. For more information, see "Getting Connected" on page 103.

During synchronization:

• Messages are copied from the e-mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your computer to the

ActiveSync

folder in Inbox on your device. By

default, you receive:

– Messages from the past 3 days

– The first 100 lines of each message

– File attachments of less than 100 KB in size

• E-mail messages in the

Outbox

folder on your device are transferred to Exchange or Outlook on your computer, and then sent from those programs.

• E-mail messages in subfolders on your computer must be selected in ActiveSync to be transferred.

Connecting Directly to an E-Mail Server

In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your computer, you can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a modem or network card connected to your device. You need to set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail server. For more information, see "Getting Connected" on page 103.
