Tips on using Smart Dialing
Smart Dialing starts looking for numbers or contacts that match the
sequence you have entered. Below are some tips on how to use Smart
Dialing to quickly find a desired phone number or contact.
To find a phone number
Using Phone Features 59
• Simply enter the first one or two digits to find a phone number in Call
History.
• Enter the first three digits or more if you want to find a phone number
from the saved contacts on your device and SIM card.
To find a contact name
You can just enter the first letter of a contact’s first name or surname. Smart
Dialing will search for the letter starting from the first character of a contact
name as well as from the character that appears after a space, dash, or
underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap number “2” which is
associated with [a, b, c] on the Phone keypad, contact names such as the
following will be considered matches: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “John-
Carter”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”, “Thomas_Clark”, “JaneCampbell”.
If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search further,
enter another letter. Using the same example above, if you continue to
tap “3” which is associated with [d, e, f], the matching list will be narrowed
down to the following names: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”,
“Dixon, Allan”.

• Synchronize information such as Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar,
or Tasks information, as well as media files such as pictures, video, and
music between your device and your PC.
• Synchronize Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar appointments, and
Tasks on your device directly with Exchange Server so that you can
stay up-to-date even when your PC is turned off.
• Copy files between your device and your PC without synchronizing.
• Select which types of information are synchronized and specify how
much information is synchronized. For example, you can choose how
many weeks of past Calendar appointments to synchronize.
• Add and remove programs on your device. For details, see Chapter 5,
“Adding and Removing Programs.”

5.7 Resetting Your Pocket PC Phone
Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A normal (or soft) reset
of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all
active programs. This can be useful when your device is running slower
than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft reset is
also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is
performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost.
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard
reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system
problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings —
the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs
you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your
device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed
programs will remain.
To perform a soft reset
• Use the stylus to press the RESET button found on the back of the
device. Your device restarts and displays the Today screen.

6.6 Using Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices
with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information within a distance
of about 10 meters without requiring a physical connection. You can even
beam information to a device in a different room, as long as it is within the
Bluetooth signal coverage range.
Bluetooth can be used in the following ways:
• Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and contact
cards, between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.
• Synchronize information between your device and computer via
Bluetooth.
• Use a Bluetooth-enabled headset (or other Bluetooth-enabled hands-
free device such as a car kit) with your device for hands-free phone
conversations.
• Use a Bluetooth service. Once you connect to another device or
computer using Bluetooth, you can locate and use any of the services
available on that device.
• Create a connection between your device and another Bluetooth-
enabled phone to use that phone as a modem.
Note Normally, you will need another phone as a modem only if your Pocket PC
device has no integrated phone capability.
Bluetooth modes
Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:
• On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetooth-
enabled devices, but not vice versa.
• Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send
nor receive information using Bluetooth. You might want to turn
Bluetooth off at times in order to conserve battery power, or in
situations where using a wireless device is prohibited, such as on
board an aircraft and in hospitals.
• Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled
devices can detect your device.

(typically a work account), download messages through a remote
e-mail server. For more information, see “To download messages from
the server” later in this chapter.
• Text messages are automatically received when the phone is turned
on. When the phone is turned off, messages are held by your service
provider until the next time the phone is turned on.
134 Exchanging Messages and Using Outlook
To download messages from the server
To send and receive e-mail messages for an e-mail account that you have
with an ISP or that you access using a VPN server connection (typically a
work account), you first need to connect to the Internet or your corporate
network, depending on the account.
1. Tap Menu > Go To and tap the account you want to use.
2. Tap Menu > Send/Receive. The messages on your device and e-mail
server are synchronized: new messages are downloaded to the device
Inbox folder, messages in the device Outbox folder are sent, and
messages that have been deleted from the server are removed from
the device Inbox folder.
Tip If you want to read the entire message, tap Menu > Download Message
while in the message window. If you are in the message list, tap and hold
the message, and tap Download Message. The message will download
the next time you send and receive e-mail. This will also download message
attachments if you selected those options when you set up the e-mail
account.
Copy text messages from and to the SIM card
1. Tap Start > Messaging.
2. Tap Menu > Go To > Text Messages.
3. In the message list, select the text message you want to copy.
4. Do one of the following:
• To copy a text message to the SIM card, tap Menu > Copy to SIM.
• To copy a text message from the SIM card to your device, tap
Menu > Copy to Inbox.
Note Text messages stored on your SIM card are automatically displayed in the
Inbox folder. Copying them to your device results in duplicate messages in
the Inbox folder when your SIM card is in use.
Individually sign and encrypt a message
Encrypting an Outlook e-mail message protects the privacy of the message
by converting it from plain, readable text into cipher (scrambled) text. Only
the recipient who has the authorization key can decipher the message.
Exchanging Messages and Using Outlook 135
Digitally signing a message applies your certificate with the authorization
key to the message. This proves to the recipient that the message is from
you and not from an imposter or a hacker, and that the message has not
been altered.
To digitally sign and encrypt a new message
1. In the message list, tap Menu > Go To > Outlook E-mail.
2. Tap New.
3. Tap Menu > Message Options.
4. Select the Encrypt message and Sign message check boxes, and tap
OK.
Verify the digital signature on a signed message you
receive
1. Open the Outlook e-mail message that has been digitally signed.
2. At the top of the message, tap View Signature Status.
3. Tap Menu > Check Certificate.
To view the details of the certificate in the message, tap Menu > View
Certificate.
Note There can be several reasons why a digital signature is not valid. For example,
the sender’s certificate may have expired, it may have been revoked by the
certificate authority, or the server that verifies the certificate is unavailable.
Contact the sender to report the problem.
136 Exchanging Messages and Using Outlook
Manage folders
Each Messaging account has its own folder hierarchy with five default
Messaging folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, and Sent Items.
The messages you receive and send through the account 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 the
device. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends
on the Messaging options you have chosen.
If you use an Outlook e-mail account, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in
Outlook will be synchronized automatically with your device. You can select
to synchronize additional folders by designating them for synchronization.
The folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored
on the e-mail 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 to that folder. You can then read the messages while you are
away from your PC.
If you use a text message account, messages are stored in the Inbox folder.
If you use a POP3 account and you move e-mail messages to a folder you
created, the link is broken between the messages on the device and their
copies on the e-mail server. The next time you connect, the e-mail server
will detect that the messages are missing from the Inbox folder on the
device and will delete them from the e-mail server. This prevents having
duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer
have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere
except the device.
If you use an IMAP4 account, the folders you create and the e-mail
messages you move are mirrored on the e-mail server. Therefore, messages
are available to you anytime you connect to your e-mail server, whether it
is from your device or PC. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever
you connect to your e-mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete
folders when connected. You can also set different download options for
each folder.

8.1 Guidelines and Preparation for Using GPS
• Do not operate the GPS system while driving.
• The plotted GPS route is only for driving references. It should not
affect actual driving behavior.
• Please use the GPS system cautiously. Users shall be liable for any
damages resulting from negligent operation of the system.
• When using inside a vehicle, please utilize the car holder to mount
the Pocket PC securely in place. Please avoid the areas shown in the
following diagram:
1. Do not place where it will block the driver’s vision.
2. Do not place at where the air bags are.
3. Do not place anywhere in the vehicle without securing in the
holder.
4. Do not place where the air bags could deploy.
• The GPS signal cannot pass through solid non-transparent objects.
Signal reception may be affected due to obstructions such as high-
rise buildings, tunnels, bridges, forests, bad weather (rainy or cloudy
days), etc.
Using GPS 159
• Signal reception may be affected by obstructions such as high-rise
buildings, tunnels, bridges, forests, weather (rainy or cloudy days),
etc. If the vehicle’s visor contains metal, it will be difficult for the GPS
signal to pass through. To have better signal reception, try connecting
your device to an external GPS antenna.
• The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated by the US
Defense Department. The Department is responsible for the accuracy
and maintenance of the system. Any changes that the Department
makes may affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.
• Wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or radar-
detecting devices) may interfere with the satellite signal, resulting in
unstable signal reception.
• Please do not leave your Pocket PC in the vehicle and expose to direct
sunlight to avoid overheating the battery that could pose damage to
the device or risk to the vehicle.
8.2 Downloading Satellite Data via QuickGPS
Before you start to use your device for GPS navigation, open the QuickGPS
program first to download Ephemeris data (current satellite position and
timing information) onto your device. This data is needed to determine the
GPS position of your current location.
QuickGPS downloads Ephemeris data from a Web server, instead of from
the satellites, using the Internet connection on your device, which can
be via ActiveSync, Wi-Fi, or GPRS. This significantly speeds up the time for
determining your GPS position.
To open QuickGPS
• Tap the QuickGPS icon ( ) on the Today screen; or
• Tap Start > Programs > QuickGPS.
To download data
• Tap Download on the QuickGPS screen.
160 Using GPS
On the screen, initially, you will see the Valid time of the downloaded
data to be 3 days. As days and time pass, the remaining days and time
of validity will be shown.
To speed up GPS positioning, download the latest Ephemeris data
when the validity of the data expires.
Download options
To configure download times, tap Menu > Options and choose from the
following options:
• Remind me when data expires. Enables your device to display
a reminder message when the validity of the Ephemeris data has
expired.
When you see the reminder message, tap Menu to dismiss the
reminder or to set the snooze time so that you will be reminded
again. Tap OK to open the QuickGPS program and download the
latest data.
Using GPS 161
• Autodownload when data expires. Allows Ephemeris data to be
automatically updated onto your device when the data has expired.
• Autodownload when connected to PC via ActiveSync. Allows
Ephemeris data to be automatically downloaded via ActiveSync to
your device when your device is connected to your computer. Your
computer must be connected to the Internet in order to download
data.
Note The Ephemeris data are stored on HTC Web servers. QuickGPS is
preconfigured to connect to these servers.
8.3 Using GPS Software
Your device is preinstalled with the GPS software.
To open the GPS software

About the screens and menus
Windows Media Player Mobile has three primary screens:
• Playback screen. The default screen that displays the playback
controls (such as Play, Pause, Next, Previous, and Volume) and the
video window. You can change the appearance of this screen by
choosing a different skin.
• Now Playing screen. The screen that displays the Now Playing
playlist. This special playlist indicates the current file being played and
any files that are “queued up” to play next.
• Library screen. The screen that lets you quickly find your audio files,
video files, and playlists. It contains categories such as My Music, My
Videos, My TV, and My Playlists.
At the bottom of each screen, you can open a Menu. The commands on
this menu vary, depending upon which screen you are viewing. For more
information about the commands in these menus, see Help on your device.
About licenses and protected files
Some content (such as digital media files downloaded from the Internet,
CD tracks, and videos) have associated licenses that protect them from
being unlawfully distributed or shared. Licenses are created and managed
by using digital rights management (DRM), which is the technology for
securing content and managing its access rights. Some licenses may
prevent you from playing files that have been copied to your device. Files
that have licenses associated with them are called “protected files.”
If you want to copy a protected file from your PC to your device, use the
desktop Player to synchronize the file to your device (instead of dragging
the file from a folder on your PC to a folder on your device, for example).
This will ensure that the license is copied along with the protected file. For
more information about synchronizing files to your device and other mobile
devices, see desktop Player Help.
Note You can view the protection status for a file by checking its file properties
(tapping Menu > Properties).
186 Experiencing Multimedia
Copy media files to your device
Use the latest version of the desktop Player (Windows Media Player 10 or
later) to synchronize digital media files to your device (instead of dragging a
file from a folder on your PC to a folder on your device, for example). Using
the desktop Player ensures that licenses are copied with protected files.
Always synchronize the files to a storage card that is inserted into your
device. Do not synchronize to a storage card that is inserted into a storage
card reader. In addition, do not synchronize to the internal storage location
(RAM) in your device.
To synchronize content to your device automatically
1. Power off your device. Insert a 32-MB or larger storage card into your
device, and turn the power back on.
2. On your PC, start Windows Media Player.
3. Connect your device to your PC.
4. If you have not set up synchronization between your device and PC,
the Device Setup Wizard opens on your PC.
5. In the wizard, click Automatic, select the Customize the playlists
that will be synchronized check box, and then select the playlists
that you want to synchronize.
6. Click Finish.
7. The files begin synchronizing to your device. The next time you
connect your device to your PC while the desktop version of Windows
Media Player is running, synchronization will start automatically.
To synchronize and copy content manually to your device
1. If you have not set up synchronization between your device and
PC, follow steps 1 to 6 in “To synchronize content to your device
automatically”, except that you should click Manual synchronization.
2. To choose files to synchronize and copy to your device, do the
following:
• Click the Library tab.
• In the rightmost pane, click the drop-down list and select Sync
List.

Federal Communications Commission Notice
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject
to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful
interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received,
including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a
Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are
designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or TV reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for
help.
Appendix 219
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications
made to the device that are not expressly approved by High Tech Computer
Corporation may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Safety Precautions for RF Exposure
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified by
the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified power level in
all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest
certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operation can
be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed
to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to
reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station
antenna, the lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for
sale to the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement for
safe exposure. This phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure
guidelines when used with an accessory that contains no metal and that
positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. For body-worn
operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines, use
only High Tech computer, Corp. approved accessories. When carrying the
phone while it is on, use the specific High Tech Computer Corp. supplied or
approved carrying case, holster, or other body-worn accessory.
Use of non High Tech Computer Corp. approved accessories may violate
FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

• 0.482 W/Kg@1g (FCC)
220 Appendix
Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) safety
information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider,
or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted
in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Pacemakers
• Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel
frame of a building).
• Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as
microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.
• Avoid using your phone after a dramatic change in temperature.
