Types of connections
The PDA phone can be very easily configured to access the Internet or a corporate net-
work to perform such tasks as browsing the World Wide Web, sending e-mail, or
exchanging instant messages with friends or co-workers. Connections can be made with a
dial-up modem, wireless modem (GPRS or Circuit Switched Data, CSD) or wireless LAN
(WLAN) card.There are two supported groups of connection settings: My ISP (which
allows you to access the Internet) and My Work Network (which allows you to access pri-
vate resources such as your Intranet, VPN, or other protected resources).

Microsoft® ActiveSync®
Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your desktop com-
puter with the information on your device. Synchronization compares the data on your
device with your desktop computer and updates both computers with the most recent
information. For example:
• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device with Microsoft Out-
look data on your desktop computer.
• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your device and desktop
computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format
• Back up and restore your device data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop computer.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For exam-
ple, you can synchronize continually while connected to your desktop computer or only
when you choose the synchronize command.
• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchro-
nized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want
synchronized.
Installing ActiveSync® on PC
To ensure that synchronization works properly you must install Microsoft ActiveSync on
your computer before connecting your PDA phone to the computer.
1. Insert the Companion CD into the CD-ROM drive in your computer.
Microsoft® ActiveSync® 61
2. Run the ActiveSync installer program on the CD to install ActiveSync on your
computer and the following dialogue box appears. Click “Next” to proceed.
3. Click “Next” to install the ActiveSync to the default file folder or select “change” to
install the ActiveSync to the file folder you specify.

Creating a new partnership profile
After you’ve installed ActiveSync on your PC, you can begin to connect your PDA phone
to the PC. Take the included data cable and connect the mini-USB end to your PDA
phone’s mini-USB slot and the USB end to your computer’s USB slot.
Once the data cable connects the PDA phone to the PC, the PDA phone will emit a sound
indicating connection found. On the PC side, a ‘New Partnership’ wizard will automati-
cally pop up.
On the wizard, you can choose whether you wish to set up a standard partnership or guest
partnership profile between the PDA phone and PC. A standard partnership profile
allows you to copy and move files between your PDA phone and PC as well as synchro-
nize application data from PC’s Outlook to PDA phone’s Contacts, Inbox, Calendar, etc.
A guest partnership profile allows you to only copy and move files but not synchronize
application data. Follow the steps below to setup a standard partnership between the PDA
phone and a single desktop computer.

Synchronizing the application data
After creating your profile (a new partnership) for the first time, ActiveSync will first
attempt to establish a connection with your PDA phone (so long as there is a physical
connection via USB).
Next ActiveSync will examine each of the application data types you have selected to be
synchronized and see which records are not the same on both the PDA phone and PC.
Once both the PDA phone and PC have the same information, all application data types
will be listed as synchronized.
After your first synchronization, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on your
PDA phone. You'll notice that information you've stored in Microsoft Outlook on your
PC has been copied to your PDA phone, and you didn't have to type a word. Disconnect
your PDA phone from your PC and you're ready to go.
Once you have set up ActiveSync and completed the first synchronization process, you
can initiate synchronization from your PDA phone. To switch to ActiveSync on your PDA
phone, tap Start
StartStart
Start > ActiveSync
ActiveSyncActiveSync
ActiveSync.
Once synchronization begins, a progress bar with indicators will keep you informed as to
the changes being made.
If both Exchange Server and desktop synchronization is enabled, following successful syn-
chronization you will see the above status screen.
Clicking on the icon in the notification area will reveal an active PC connection.

versions of files for different device types and processors. Be sure to select the program
designed for Microsoft Pocket PC and your device processor type.
3. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that comes with the
program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.
4. Connect your PDA phone and PC.
5. Double-click the *.exe file.
• If the file is an installer, the installation wizard will begin. Follow the directions on the
screen. Once the software has been installed on your PC, the installer will automatically
transfer the software to your PDA phone.
• If the file is not an installer, you will see an error message stating that the program is
valid but it is designed for a different type of computer. You will need to move this file to
your PDA phone. If you cannot find any installation instructions for the program in the
Read Me file or documentation, use ActiveSync Explore to copy the program file to the
Program Files folder on your device. For more information on copying files using
ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help.

Certificates
Public key certificates allow you to help establish your identity when you are logging onto
a secure network. Certificates also aide in establishing the identity of other computers that
you might want to connect to. Using certificates helps prevent unauthorized users from

accessing your device or data. There are two types of certificates that can be installed on
your device: personal certificates that identify who you are, and root certificates that iden-
tify the servers you connect to. Both personal and root certificates are managed in the
same way. Consult your IT department for information on certificates and device secu-
rity.
Tapping the Certificates icon will get you started. In the Personal tab, you will see certifi-
cates assigned to your device. By tapping and holding on an item, you can delete it.
