1.3 Synchronizing with Your Computer
ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) provide an easy way
to synchronize data on a Windows-based computer with your device.
ActiveSync works on computers that have the Windows XP operating systems.
WMDC works only on computers that have Windows Vista or Windows 7.
ActiveSync and WMDC act as gateways between your device and your
computer for transferring Outlook e-mail, appointments, contacts, and tasks, and
media such as pictures, music, and videos. You can also use the Explore feature
in either program to move files or programs from your computer to your device.
Installing ActiveSync or WMDC
If you‘re using Windows XP or earlier versions of Windows, download and
install the latest ActiveSync. If you‘re using Windows Vista or Windows 7,
download and install the latest Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1. (Visit the
Microsoft website to download the program and to obtain operating
instructions.)
NOTE:
Before installation, make sure that you have Microsoft Outlook installed on your
computer.
Connect your device to the computer AFTER Windows Mobile Device Center or
ActiveSync is installed.
ActiveSync connection problems may occur in some specific cases. They are likely
caused by interoperability with desktop firewall applications or applications that manage
network traffic. For troubleshooting information, visit the Microsoft web site.
10
After the software installation, connect your device to your computer with the
USB cable and you are ready to synchronize.
11
1.4 Using an SD/SDHC/MMC Card
Your Pocket PC has a SD/MMC slot where you can insert an optional Secure
Digital or MultiMediaCard storage card. With the removable memory, you can
store or backup your data and exchange data with other devices.
NOTE:
A storage card is also called a memory card.
Make sure that no foreign objects enter the slot.
Keep a SD or MMC card in a well-protected box to avoid dust and humidity when you are
not using it.
To use a card, insert it into the slot, with the
connector pointing to the slot and its label
facing the front of the Pocket PC. Follow the
instructions supplied with the card for more
information.
To remove a card, first make sure that no
application is accessing the card, then slightly

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, may consume the battery power considerably.
Low Battery Signals and Actions
CAUTION: When you recharge the battery upon a warning of low power, you should
charge for at least 30 minutes. If you unplug the AC charger 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 and a
beep will sound. 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.
24
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. You can also manually turn off the backlight by pressing
and holding the power button.
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:
Using a modem or other peripheral
Playing sound or music
Recording
Using or monitoring wireless signals

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.
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. To create folders, tap Menu
Tools Manage Folders.
