19
Tap to return to your original
writing.
Or, tap the word you want to use.
Some tips for getting good recognition are listed below:
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 use Menu
Zoom to increase the zoom level to 300 %.
Write the letters of a word close together and leave big gaps between words.
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.
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,

Recording Formats
Your Pocket PC supports several formats for voice notes. The formats vary in
both the quality of the recording and the size of the sound file. When selecting a
recording format, you should consider the quality you need as well as how much
storage memory the recording will use on your Pocket PC.
Not all recording formats are compatible with other software or computers. If
you will share your recordings with others or transfer a recording to your desktop
computer, be sure to choose a recording format that is supported by the software
used to play recordings on the other computer.
The PCM format offers the highest quality recording and is compatible with all
Pocket PC models, other Windows-powered mobile devices, and desktop
computers that use Windows operating systems. The GSM 6.10 format is
compatible with all Pocket PC models and other Windows-powered mobile
devices, but may not work with desktop computers.
To select a recording format:
1. Tap
Settings
Input.

3 Managing Your Pocket PC
This chapter tells you how to effectively manage power, settings, data and
programs of your Pocket PC.
3.1 Managing Power
A fully charged battery should provide power for up to 8 hours of use. The
operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using the
Pocket PC. Some functions, such as using multimedia or operating a SD/MMC
card, heavy usage of the wireless function, frequent backlight usage, and cold
temperatures may consume the battery power considerably.
Low Battery Signals and Actions
CAUTION:
When the battery is very low, your device will automatically disable the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi,
and GPS function as a protection. Under such circumstances, you will not be able to turn
on the Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS function unless the battery is charged to a certain level
of power.
When you recharge the battery upon a warning of low power, you should charge for at
least 30 minutes. If you unplug the AC adapter soon, you may not have sufficient battery
power for your operation.
You can monitor the battery power by tapping
Settings System
Power.
The remaining power is displayed on a status bar in the Power control panel.
When the battery is low, your Pocket PC will pop up a warning message. You
should save your data and recharge the battery immediately upon a warning of
low power; otherwise your Pocket PC will turn off automatically. You need to
connect the Pocket PC to external AC power for charging before you can use it
again.
26
Power-Saving Tips
Follow these suggestions to maximize the battery’s operating time, particularly
when you are relying solely on the battery power for extended time periods.
Suspend frequently.
By default, the screen backlight will automatically turn off and the Pocket
PC will also turn off when it has been idle for a period of time. You can
shorten the length of the idle time using
Settings System
Power
Advanced to set up.
Press the power button to turn off your Pocket PC when it is not in use, even
for a short time.
Use the backlight only when necessary.
Minimize the amount of time the backlight stays on when the Pocket PC is
idle. You can shorten the length of the idle time using
Settings
Backlight to set up. Also, a brighter backlight uses more power than
System
a dim setting.
Turn off functions not needed or adjust settings.
Lower the volume.
Do not enable sounds or light flashing except for the most necessary
notifications. (Tap
Settings Personal
Sounds & Notifications to
set up.)
Avoid power-consuming situations such as:
When using a modem or other peripheral
When playing sound or music
When recording.
When using or monitoring wireless signals
When working in cold temperatures, keep the unit as warm as possible. If
feasible, keep the unit inside your coat or in a vehicle when not in use.

4.5 Messaging: Sending and Receiving E-mail
Messages
You can use Messaging to send and receive email messages in two ways:
By synchronizing email messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft
Outlook on your desktop computer.
By connecting directly to an e-mail server through an ISP (Internet Service
Provider) or a network. This method requires an optional modem or network
card.
Tap
Messaging to switch to the program.
Synchronizing E-mail Messages
E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization
process. To do this, you need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync For
information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the
desktop computer.
During synchronization, the following occurs:
Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your
desktop computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your Pocket PC. By
default, you receive messages from the past three days only, the first 100
lines of each message file attachments of less than 100 KB in size.
Email messages in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC 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 Pocket PC, it is deleted from your desktop computer the next time
you synchronize.
Email messages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are
synchronized only if they have been selected for synchronization in
ActiveSync.
45
Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server
You can send and receive email messages by connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4
e-mail server if you can connect to your ISP or local area network. (For
information on connection, see Section 6.1.)
Setting up an Email Service
You can use multiple email services to receive your messages. For each email
service you intend to use, first set up and name the email service. If you use the
same service to connect to different mailboxes, set up and name each mailbox
connection.
In Messaging, tap Menu Tools New Account. Follow the directions in the New
Service Wizard. For an explanation of a screen, tap at the upper right corner
of the screen.
When you connect to the email server, new messages are downloaded to the
Inbox folder on your Pocket PC, messages in the Pocket PC Outbox folder are
sent, and messages that have been deleted on the email server are removed from
the Inbox folder on your Pocket PC.
Messages that you receive directly from an email server are linked to your email
server rather than your desktop computer. When you delete a message on your
Pocket PC, it is also deleted from the email server the next time you connect
based on the settings you selected in ActiveSync.
You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to
messages while connected to the email server. Messages are sent as soon as you
tap Send, which saves space on your Pocket PC.
When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or
partial messages, you can disconnect from the email server and then decide
which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox
downloads the complete messages you have marked for retrieval and sends the
messages you have composed.
46
Using the Message List
Messages you receive are displayed in the message list. By default, the most
recently received messages are displayed first in the list.
Select the service and folder
you want to display.
Select the sort order for messages.
Tap to open a message.
Tap and hold to display the shortcut
menu.
When you receive a message, tap it to open it.
Tap to return to the message list.
47
When you connect to your email server or synchronize with your desktop
computer or server, by default, you will receive messages from the last three
days only, the first 100 lines of each new message file attachments of less than
100 KB in size. The original messages remain on the server or your desktop
computer.
You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in full during your next
synchronization or email server connection. In the message list, tap and hold the
message you want to retrieve. On the shortcut 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.
Change options for Inbox synchronization using ActiveSync options. For
more information, see ActiveSync Help.
Change options for direct email server connections in Messaging on your
Pocket PC. Tap Menu Options and tap the account you want to change. Tap
and hold the account and tap Delete to remove an account.

1. In the message list, tap Menu
Switch Accounts and select the account.
2. Tap New.
3. In the To field, enter an email address of one or more recipients, separating
them with a semicolon. If the address is already in your contact list, you can

NOTE: OLE objects cannot be attached to Inbox messages.
7. Tap Send when you have finished the message. If you are working offline,
the message is moved to the Outbox folder and is sent the next time you
connect.
The message is placed in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC and will be
delivered in one of two ways:
The message is transferred to the Outbox folder in Exchange or Outlook on
your desktop computer and sent the next time you synchronize.
The message is transferred to your email server the next time you connect.
49
Managing Email Messages and Folders
Each e-mail service 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 service 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 your
Pocket PC. The behaviour of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends on the
options you have chosen.
Folder Behavior
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
ActiveSync, POP3, or IMAP4.
If you use ActiveSync, email messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are
automatically synchronized with your Pocket PC. You can select to
synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The
folders you create and the messages you move are 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 desktop
computer.
If you use POP3 and you move email messages to a folder you created, the
link is broken between the messages on the Pocket PC and their copies on
the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server sees that the
messages are missing from the Pocket PC Inbox and deletes them from the
server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it
also means that you no longer have access to messages that you move to
folders created from anywhere except the Pocket PC.
If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the email 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 Pocket PC or
desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you
connect to your mail server, create new folders or rename/delete folders
when connected.
For all services except ActiveSync, you can access folder options by tapping
Tools
Manage Folders in the message list.

5 More Programs
In addition to Microsoft Pocket Outlook, there are other programs built into your
Pocket PC. This chapter tells you how to use these programs.
5.1 Microsoft ActiveSync
NOTE: ActiveSync is already installed on your Pocket PC. You need to install ActiveSync
on your desktop computer. (For information on installing ActiveSync, see Section 1.4.)
When you have established the connection between your Pocket PC and your
desktop computer, you can synchronize the information between the two with
ActiveSync. Synchronization compares the data on the two sides and updates
both computers with the most recent information. For example, you can:
Keep your Pocket Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks databases
up-to-date by synchronizing your Pocket PC with Microsoft Outlook data on
your desktop computer.
Synchronize email messages in your Pocket PC Inbox with email messages
in Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer.
Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your Pocket
PC and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to the
correct format.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
Back up and restore your Pocket PC data.
Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your Pocket PC and desktop
computer.
Add and remove programs on your Pocket PC.
Pass through your desktop computer to a network or the Internet.
51
Synchronizing Data
Once you have created a synchronization relationship and completed the first
synchronization, you can initiate synchronization from your Pocket PC.
1. Connect your Pocket PC to your desktop computer.
2. On your Pocket PC, tap
Programs
ActiveSync.
3. Tap Sync to begin synchronization.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of
information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for
specific information types. You can:
Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode.
For example, you can synchronize continually while the Pocket PC is
connected or only when you choose 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.
