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”.

54 Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security
4.1 Setting Up ActiveSync
Microsoft ActiveSync synchronizes information on your device with
information on your PC, such as Outlook content. ActiveSync can also
synchronize over a wireless or cellular network with Microsoft Exchange
Server, if your company or service provider is running Microsoft Exchange
Server with Exchange ActiveSync.
Specifically, you can use ActiveSync to:
• 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.”
To install and set up ActiveSync on the computer
1. Install ActiveSync on your PC, as described in the Getting Started Disc.
2. After ActiveSync is installed, the Synchronization Setup Wizard
automatically starts when you connect your device to the PC. The
wizard will guide you to create a synchronization relationship
between your computer and device. Click Next.
3. Do not select the Synchronize directly with a server running
Microsoft Exchange Server check box if you want to synchronize
your device with a computer. Just click Next, then skip to step 8.

4.2 Synchronizing Information
When you connect your device to the PC using a USB cable or a Bluetooth
connection, ActiveSync will immediately synchronize. While your device
is connected, ActiveSync synchronizes every time you make a change on
either the PC or your device.
To manually start and stop synchronization
1. Connect your device to the PC:
• To synchronize Outlook information and other local information
on the PC, including media files, connect your device to the PC
using Bluetooth or a USB cable.
• If you are synchronizing directly with Exchange Server, you can
use this connection to the PC to "pass through" to the network, or
you can synchronize without connecting to the PC over a cellular
network.
2. In ActiveSync, tap Sync. To end synchronization before it completes,
tap Stop.
Note ActiveSync 4.x utilizes a network type of connection with Windows Mobile
powered devices, since this allows faster data transfer than a serial USB
connection. When the PC is connected to the Internet or a local network, in
some cases, the PC may disconnect the ActiveSync connection with your
device in favor of the Internet or network connection. If this happens, tap
Start > Settings > Connections tab > USB to PC, then clear the Enable
advanced network functionality check box. This makes ActiveSync utilize a
serial USB connection with your device.
The USB to PC ( ) icon appears on the Today Screen when your device
is connected to your computer and you enable a serial USB connection
between them.
Synchronize Outlook information with the computer
If you have set up a synchronization relationship between your device and
the PC, synchronization keeps Outlook information up-to-date on both your
device and PC.
Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security 59
You can also set up your device to synchronize with more than one PC
or with a combination of one or more PCs and Exchange Server. When
synchronizing with multiple computers, the items that you synchronize
will appear on all of the computers with which they are synchronized. For
example, if you have set up synchronization with two PCs (PC1 and PC2),
which have different items, and you synchronize Contacts and Calendar on
your device with both computers, the result is as follows:
Location New state
PC1 All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC2
are now also on PC1.
PC2 All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC1
are now also on PC2.
Pocket PC
Phone
All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments from both PC1
and PC2 are on your device.
Note Outlook e-mail can be synchronized with only one computer.
To change which information is synchronized
ActiveSync synchronizes a limited amount of information by default to save
storage space on your device. You can change the amount of information
that is synchronized by performing the following steps.
Note Before changing synchronization settings on your device, disconnect it from

4.5 Setting Up E-mail Security
Windows Mobile on your device protects your Outlook e-mails through
Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (S/MIME), which allows you to
digitally sign your messages as well as encrypt them.
Using authorization keys and certificates, S/MIME allows you to digitally
sign your e-mail messages to prove your identity to the recipients.
Authorization keys are also used when encrypting messages to improve
privacy and prevent undue tampering or hacking of your messages. You
can encrypt a message with or without a certificate. However, to read an
encrypted message, you need a valid certificate to decrypt it.
Note S/MIME encryption and digital signatures for Windows Mobile-based devices
are available only with Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 or a later version
that supports S/MIME. If you are not using one of these products, or have not
yet synchronized, these options are unavailable.

Download messages
The manner in which you download messages depends on the type of
account you have:
• To send and receive e-mail for an Outlook e-mail account, begin
synchronization through ActiveSync. For more information, see “Set
up Outlook e-mail” in this chapter.
• 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), 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.
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

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.
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.
120 Exchanging Messages and Using Outlook
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.
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.
Exchanging Messages and Using Outlook 121
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.

7.2 MMS Messages
Creating and sharing multimedia messages (MMS) with your friends and
family are easy with your device. You can attach pictures or video, and
an audio clip in an MMS. You can even use the device camera to capture
photos and video clips while composing a new MMS message, and send
them along with your message.
Notes •

To copy contacts to the SIM card
Only one phone number per contact name can be stored on a SIM card.
When you copy a contact that has several phone numbers to your SIM card,
SIM Manager saves each number under a separate name.
To save each number under a different contact name on the SIM card, SIM
Manager appends an indicator at the end of each name. By default, /M, /W
and /H are appended to indicate mobile, work and home phone numbers
respectively. You can edit this indicator first before you start copying
contacts to your SIM card. Indicators of the other types of phone numbers
are left empty for you to define them.

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).
160 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 32MB 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.

190 Appendix
Exposure to radio frequency (RF) signals
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio
frequency (RF) energy. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The
guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by international
standards bodies:
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP).
Report 86. 1986
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1996
• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons,
regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in usage.
Normal conditions only ensure the radiative performance and safety of the
interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are
advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of
personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to
come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
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. The tests are performed in positions and locations (for
example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for
Appendix 191
each model. (Bodyworn measurements may differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). For body
worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines,
use only original manufacturer approved accessories. When carrying the
phone while it is on, use the specific original manufacturer supplied or
approved carrying case, holster, or other body-worn accessory.
SAR Information
• CE: 0.393 mW/g @10g (Head)
1.32 mW/g @10g (Body)
• FCC: 0.448 mW/g @1g (Head)
1.39 mW/g @1g (Body)
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 the 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.
192 Appendix
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 the 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.
Other tips and cautions
• 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.
