The backup battery will ensure that no data or settings are lost when the main battery is removed or runs out of charge. When fully charged, the main battery will provide enough power for more than 8 hours use under normal operating conditions. However, the actual battery life is dependent on the type of use, as some functions, such as the front light, raise power consumption considerably. The main battery is charged whenever mains power is connected, even if you continue to operate the Pocket PC. However, connecting to mains power with the Pocket PC turned off results in a much faster charge time. The backup battery is charged from the main battery or from mains supply when the unit is connected to the power outlet. When the main battery is removed, the backup battery maintains power to the memory of you Pocket PC and no data or settings are lost. 14
When the main battery is removed the backup battery maintains power to memory for up to 30 minutes. If the main battery goes flat but is not removed, data and settings are maintained for 72 hours. Your Pocket PC will automatically go into sleep mode when the main battery is removed and cannot be woken up until the main battery has been replaced. 2.3.2 Using Mains Power Connecting your Pocket PC to the mains power supply offers an alternative to using battery power. As well as allowing unlimited use of the Pocket PC while you stay connected, mains power also charges the battery, ensuring that the Pocket PC is ready for future mobile use. 2.3.2.1 Direct Mains Connection The included AC adapter accepts 100V to 240V, enabling worldwide use with the appropriate local connector. To charge the device using the AC adapter, connect the Y-cable to the charging/communications port on the base of your Pocket PC, connect the adapter cord to the adapter cord connector of the Y-cable and plug the adapter into a mains outlet. The power LED shows flashing red while the battery is fast charging and continuous green light when the battery is in trickle charging at least 80% charged. Direct Connection to the Mains Power Supply It is recommended that you fully charge the battery the first time you operate your Pocket PC. A full charge of both main battery and backup battery will take approximately 4 hours. 2.3.2.2 Mains Power Using the USB Cradle By keeping the USB cradle connected to the mains power supply, your Pocket PC can be charged whenever it is docked. Spare batteries may also be charged on their own using the cradle. 15
To connect the USB cradle to the mains power supply, insert the power cord jack into the DC-IN jack socket on the USB cradle, and then plug the adapter into a mains outlet. See 4.1.2.2 Docking the Pocket PC in the USB Cradle for more information. USB Cradle The cradle may also be used to charge a spare battery that is not installed in your Pocket PC. To charge a spare battery, place the battery in the battery bay and connect the USB cradle to the mains supply using the cradle’s DC in jack socket. 2.3.3 USB Charging The batteries in your Pocket PC can be charged using a USB connection to a PC, even though the device itself is not connected to the mains power supply. There are two ways of making a USB connection to a PC: you can make a direct cable connection from the Pocket PC, or you can use the USB cradle. See 4.1 Connecting to a PC for more information. The Pocket PC cannot be charged via a Bus-powered USB hub. USB charging is only effective via a self-powered USB hub, or when the Pocket PC has exclusive use of a USB port. 16
Pocket PC Connected to a PC via the USB Cable 2.3.4 Maintaining the Batteries All programs, files, data and custom settings that you save are stored in RAM. This is a volatile storage medium requiring electrical power to remain operational. Therefore it is essential that the Pocket PC receives a continuous power supply, as any interruption will result in the RAM contents being lost. Although the operating system and pre-installed programs, stored in Flash ROM, will be unaffected, you will have to re-enter all other information. To safeguard your data, you should periodically back up your files. See 4.2.4 Backing Up and Restoring Data Using Microsoft ActiveSync 3.7 for information on how to do this. Users can also use CF storage card or SD storage card to back up data or personal settings in PIM using the backup application. You will receive a notification when either the main battery level or the backup battery level is low. You can also check the remaining charge in either battery at any time by tapping “Settings” on the start menu, and then selecting the System tab and tapping “Power”. When fully charged, the backup battery will maintain power to volatile memory for up to 30 minutes if the main battery is removed. If the main battery runs out of charge, power to volatile memory is maintained for 72 hours as along as the main battery is not removed. To remove the main battery it is necessary to move the battery release switch on your Pocket PC to the release position and remove the battery cover. When the battery release switch is in the release position the unit will automatically go into sleep mode and cannot be woken up until the main battery has been replaced and the release switch returned to the original position. 2.4 TURNING YOUR POCKET PC ON AND OFF 2.4.1 The First Time You Use Your Pocket PC 1. You will need to use mains power to charge the battery before you use your Pocket PC for the first time. There are two ways to do this: 17
(a) Connect your Pocket PC to a wall outlet (see 2.3.2.1 Direct Mains Connection). (b) Plug the USB cradle into a wall outlet and dock the device in the cradle (see 2.3.2.2 Mains Power Using the USB Cradle). 2. Allow at least 1 hour to charge your main battery before you turn on your Pocket PC. It is recommended that you fully charge the battery before disconnecting the device from the mains. 3. To prepare your Pocket PC for use, follow this simple procedure the first time you turn the device on. First, locate the hardware reset switch beneath the main battery. Unscrew the top of the stylus and use it to slide the hardware reset switch from left to right and then put in the main battery. Wait 1 minute for the Welcome Wizard to be displayed, and follow the on-screen instructions to calibrate the screen and set up the operating system. Slide the Hardware Reset Switch from Left to Right the First Time You Use Your Pocket PC. Please note that the reset switch should remain switched to the right when the Pocket PC is in use to ensure that the internal backup battery is able to function. 2.4.2 Turning Your Pocket PC On Your Pocket PC offers the convenience of “instant on,” enabling you to start work immediately without waiting for lengthy initiation procedures to complete. To turn on your Pocket PC, press the power button, the recorder button or one of the 4 programmable application buttons. 2.4.3 Turning Your Pocket PC Off When you turn your Pocket PC off, the device does not shut down completely, but instead enters standby mode. Although power consumption is extremely low, the system clock continues to run and the RAM contents are maintained (see 2.3.4 Maintaining the Batteries for more information). Furthermore, if you turn your Pocket PC on again within 4 hours, operation will resume where you left off the last time you used the device. To turn your Pocket PC off, press the power button on the front of the device. 18
Your Pocket PC is set to turn itself off after three minutes of inactivity when operating on battery power. You can change these settings by tapping “Settings” on the start menu, and then selecting the System tab and tapping “Power”. 2.5 QUICK START When you turn on your Pocket PC for the first time each day, or after 4 hours of inactivity, you will see the Today screen.

5. Configuring and Optimizing Your Pocket PC 5.1 MANAGING POWER As programs, files, data and custom settings that you save are stored in RAM, it is essential that your Pocket PC receives a continuous power supply. Although the operating system and pre-installed programs will be unaffected, you will have to re-enter all other information if your Pocket PC loses power. See 2.3.4 Maintaining the Battery for more information about using battery and mains power. • Safeguard your data by regularly backing up your files. See 4.2.4 Backing Up and Restoring Data Using Microsoft ActiveSync 3.7. Data and personal settings stored in PIM can also be backed up to CF storage card or SD storage card using the backup application. • Change from battery to mains power as soon as you receive a low battery warning. • Save important information on CompactFlash or Secure Digital cards rather than in RAM. The card contents will not be lost if your battery is exhausted. • Some functions, such as playing music and using CompactFlash or Secure Digital cards, are power intensive. Avoid using these if your battery is low and you are unable to switch to mains power. • Turn off the display when playing audio files. See 3.3 Playing Audio and Video. • Use the Suspend function in the power control panel whenever you are not using your Pocket PC. • Use mains power when synchronizing with your PC. • Adjust the settings for automatically turning off your Pocket PC after a period of inactivity by tapping “Settings”/”Power” on the start menu. • Before removing the main battery from your Pocket PC, ensure that the internal backup battery is well charged.

6. Troubleshooting 6.1 RESETTING YOUR POCKET PC You will need to reset your Pocket PC after restoring data from files backed up on your PC, or in the event of the operating system “freezing up.” Resetting provides a similar function to rebooting your PC, restarting the operating system. All saved files and settings are preserved, although any unsaved files will be lost. To reset your Pocket PC, remove it from the USB cradle and make sure that the CF Expansion slot and SD card slot are empty. Locate the software reset button on the back of the device. Unscrew the end of the stylus and use it to push the button. Push the Software Reset Button with the Stylus 6.2 RESTORING THE FACTORY DEFAULTS If your Pocket PC fails to respond after being reset, you might have to restore the factory defaults. This is the software state that the device was in when you first started using it; the operating system and preloaded software stored in Flash ROM are preserved, but the programs, files and settings stored in RAM are erased. To return your Pocket PC to its factory state, unscrew the top of the stylus and use it to slide the hardware reset switch from left to right to turn the device off, and then back to the left “on” position again, see sec 2.4.1, The First Time You Use Your Pocket PC. Alternatively, you can simply allow 74
the batteries to run down completely. Once you have restored the factory defaults, you will need to re-install your programs, reload backed up files and adjust the settings to suit your personal preferences. Hardware Reset Switch Slide the Hardware Reset Switch from Left to Right, and Then Back to Left Again 6.3 TIPS 6.3.1 Frequently Asked Questions What Operating System does my Pocket PC use? Your Pocket PC is loaded with Microsoft® Pocket PC 2003 Premium Edition operating system. Will it be possible to upgrade my PocketPC when updates become available? Upgrade is easy using XIP update files when they become available on the Internet or CDROM. Will I ever need to perform a software reset? If a software application starts failing to respond, a software reset may solve the problem. See 6.1 Resetting Your Pocket PC for instructions. What can I do if a software reset does not work? If a software reset does not solve your problem you can perform a hardware reset. See 6.2 Restoring the Factory Defaults for instructions. Any unsaved data will be lost when a hardware reset is performed. How can I back up and restore data on my Pocket PC? Microsoft® ActiveSync provides convenient backup and restore functions for your Pocket PC. All data and applications may be stored in the *.stg file in a folder on your desktop PC. See 4.2.4 Backing Up and Restoring Data Using Microsoft ActiveSync 3.7. Users can also use CF storage card or SD storage card to back up data or personal settings in PIM using the backup application. 75
How do I know when my battery is fully charged? While the battery in your Pocket PC is fast charging, the power LED will show flashing red. When the battery is 80% charged the unit switches to trickle charge mode and the LED will show a continuous green light. Why does my clock keep resetting to 12.00, 1st March 2002? The real Time Clock on your Pocket PC defaults to this time and date automatically when power is lost or after reset. Why can’t I tap the right place on the screen with my stylus? You probably need to recalibrate your device. See 5.6.1 Screen for more information. Can I adjust the brightness of the screen? You can adjust the intensity of the screen backlight. See 5.6.7 Backlight for more information. Can I configure my device to turn off the backlight automatically to save power? The device can be configured to turn off the backlight when idle for a preset period of time. See 5.6.7 Backlight for more information. How can I turn off the backlight in my device? The backlight in your pocket PC can be disabled using backlight tools found in the control panel. See 5.6.7 Backlight for more information. Why do I sometimes get poor quality sound when playing music through the internal speaker? Playback from the internal speaker may become distorted if the volume level is set too high. When I use media player the pause function sometimes fails to work, why is this? Check that the repeat function is not turned on. The pause function is disabled when the repeat function is used. Sometimes I use Windows® Media player to play music stored on a Compact Flash card and there is a pause when the device wakes up from sleep mode, why is this? The Compact Flash card needs these few seconds to reinitialize after the device comes out of sleep mode. Interaction with the device at this time can cause problems and should be avoided. Can I improve the recording quality? The default sampling frequency has been set at 22KHz. This bandwidth can be altered to improve quality, but doing this will use more memory. Tap “Start Menu”/”Settings”/”Input,” and then select the Options tab. Select a higher frequency from the voice recording drop-down menu. Why do I get an error message in calendar or tasks application after I have chosen to use a better recording quality? To conserve memory, the calendar and tasks applications can only support a sampling frequency of up to 8KHz. What type of Compact Flash card does my Pocket PC support? Your Pocket PC supports Compact Flash type I or II, 3.3V. Before inserting your CompactFlash card in your Pocket PC, check that it does not use more than 500mA. 76
Why does my device turn on automatically when I insert or remove a Compact Flash card? This is a requirement for Pocket PC devices and is quite normal. Why can’t I connect to my PC using ActiveSync via a USB interface? Windows® NT and Windows® 95 do not support the USB standard, and so an ActiveSync connection using USB will not work. Why is ActiveSync invoked when I plug my serial cable into my device? A: Make sure that you disable the “synchronization when cradled” option in the ActiveSync Tools menu. Why can’t I connect to my PC via ActiveSync using IR? Make sure there is less than 30cm between devices and that the angle is no more than 30°. Can I transfer data via IR to Palm OS-based devices? Peacemaker is a cross platform, infrared transfer utility for handheld devices. More information can be found at http://www.conduits.com/ce/peacemaker Some games I have downloaded from the internet do not work very well on my Pocket PC. Why is this? Compatibility with software that does not fully conform to Pocket PC standards cannot be guaranteed. To ensure compatibility, use only fully conforming software. 6.3.2 Problems and Solutions My Pocket PC does not turn on when disconnected from mains power. Possible reason: the battery is too low.
