Synchronizing Your Pocket PC
30 | Synchronizing Your Pocket PC
3.1 Using ActiveSync
ActiveSync synchronizes information on your device with information
on your PC, such as Outlook content. ActiveSync can also synchronize
over a wireless network with Microsoft Exchange Server, if your
company or service provider is running Microsoft Exchange Server with
Exchange ActiveSync. When you synchronize, ActiveSync compares
the information on your device with the information on your PC and/or
Exchange Server and updates all locations with the most recent
information.
With ActiveSync, you can:
•
Synchronize information, such as Outlook E-mail, Contacts,
Calendar, or Tasks information on your device with your PC, as
well as pictures, video, and music.
•
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.
•
Exchange fi les 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.
Before you can synchronize information with a PC, you must first install
ActiveSync on your PC and create a synchronization relationship
between your device and the PC. You can install ActiveSync from the
Getting Started disc that comes with your device. ActiveSync is already
installed on your device.
Once you have installed ActiveSync and set up a synchronization
relationship, ActiveSync on the PC recognizes your device when you
connect it, and automatically transfers the synchronization settings you
specified on your device.
You may be able to synchronize your device with Exchange Server
through your company or wireless service provider. If you plan to
Synchronizing Your Pocket PC | 31
do so, obtain the name of the Exchange Server, your user name,
password, and domain name from your administrator before starting
the Sync Setup Wizard.
To install and set up ActiveSync
1.
Install ActiveSync on your PC, as described on the Getting
Started disc. After Setup completes, the Sync Setup Wizard
automatically starts when you connect your device to the PC.
2.
Follow the instructions on the screen to complete the wizard. In
the Sync Setup Wizard, do one or both of the following:
•
Create a synchronization relationship between your PC and
the device.
•
Configure an Exchange Server connection to synchronize
directly with Exchange Server.
3.
Choose information types to synchronize.
Note When you finish the wizard, ActiveSync synchronizes your device
automatically. Once synchronization completes, you can disconnect
your device from your PC.
3.2 Synchronizing Information
When you connect your device to the PC using a USB or serial cable,
an infrared connection, or a Bluetooth connection, ActiveSync will
immediately synchronize. While the device is connected, ActiveSync
synchronizes every time you make a change on either the PC or the
device.
Synchronizing Outlook information
If you have set up a synchronization relationship between your device
and the PC, synchronization keeps Outlook information up-to-date
on both computers. ActiveSync synchronizes a limited amount of
information by default to save storage space on your device. You can
change the amount of information synchronized for a given information
type in Settings for the information type.
32 | Synchronizing Your Pocket PC
You can 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 the 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.
Device All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments from both PC1
and PC2 are on the device.
Note Outlook e-mail can be synchronized with only one computer.
To start and stop synchronization
•
To synchronize Outlook information and other local information
on the PC, including media fi les, connect your device to the PC
using Bluetooth, infrared (IR) or a cable or cradle.
•
If you are synchronizing directly with Exchange Server, you can
use this connection to the PC to "pass though" to the network, or
you can synchronize without connecting to the PC over a cellular
or Wi-Fi network.
•
In ActiveSync, tap
Sync
.
•
To end synchronization before it completes, tap
Stop
.
To change which information is synchronized

If you cannot select a check box, you might have to clear the
check box for the same information type elsewhere in the list.
•
Clear the check box for any items you want to stop
synchronizing.
3.
To stop synchronizing with one PC completely, tap the PC and
tap
Delete
.
Notes Outlook e-mail can be synchronized with only one computer.
To change available synchronization settings, select the type of
information and tap Settings.
To synchronize directly with Exchange Server
You can set up synchronization with Exchange Server on your device,
if it is available to you through your company or wireless service
provider. However, you should first ask your administrator for the
following information and then carry on with the steps: Exchange
Server name, your user name, password, and domain name.

3.4 Synchronizing Music, Video, and Pictures
If you want to carry your music or other digital media with you along
while you travel, ActiveSync works with Windows Media Player to
synchronize music, video, and pictures with your device.
Other than selecting the Media information type in ActiveSync to
be synchronized, all media synchronization settings must be set in
Windows Media Player. Before media can be synchronized, you must
do the following:
•
Install Windows Media Player Version 10 on the PC.
•
Connect your device to the PC with a USB cable. If the device
is currently connected using Bluetooth or infrared, you must end
that connection before media can be synchronized.
•
Insert a 32-MB or larger storage card into your device.
•
Set up a sync partnership between the storage card and
Windows Media Player.
Change Media synchronization settings
Once you select the Media information type in ActiveSync to be
synchronized, any of your favorite music, video, and picture files in
Windows Media Player playlists can be synchronized. All you have to
do is set up synchronization in Windows Media Player for those media
files.
To set up a sync relationship with a storage card
1.
Open Windows Media Player.

4.6 Resetting Your Pocket PC
Occasionally you may need to reset your Pocket PC. A normal (or soft)
reset of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down
all active programs. This can be useful when the 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 the device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software
and other pre-installed programs will remain.
To perform a soft reset
•
Use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button on the
bottom of your device.
The device restarts and displays the Today screen.
To perform a hard reset
•
Press and hold both SOFT KEYS shown enclosed by circles in
the picture below. Keep these keys pressed, and at the same
time, use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button
on the left side of your device. Press either 0 to restore to factory
default or X to exit the hard reset process.

5.5 Using Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology.
Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over 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 range.
The software included with your device allows you to use Bluetooth in
the following ways:
•
Beam information, such as fi les, appointments, tasks, and contact
cards, between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.
•
Create a dial-up modem connection between your device and a
Bluetooth-enabled phone, and then beam information using the
Bluetooth phone as a modem.

Bluetooth partnerships
A Bluetooth partnership is a relationship that you create between your
device and another Bluetooth-enabled device in order to exchange
information in a secure manner. Creating a partnership between two
devices involves entering the same personal identification number
(PIN) on both devices. Creating a partnership between two devices is
a one-time process. Once a partnership is created, the devices can
recognize the partnership and exchange information without entering a
PIN again. Make sure the two devices are within a range of 10 meters
from one another, and Bluetooth is turned on and in discoverable
mode.

Use a Bluetooth device as a modem
You can use a phone that has Bluetooth capabilities as a modem for
your device.
To do so, create a Bluetooth modem connection on your device and
then send information to another device by using Bluetooth. The device
relays the information over the network and then sends back to your
device any information that you had requested over the connection.
Once you create a modem connection to the Bluetooth phone, you can
reuse it whenever you want to use the phone as a modem. Make sure
that your device and the destination device are turned on, Bluetooth is
turned on, and that the devices are within close range.

Downloading messages
The manner in which you download messages depends 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
"Synchronizing Outlook information" in Chapter 3.
•
To send and receive e-mail messages for an e-mail account
that you have with an Internet Service Provider (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.
To download messages from the server
To send and receive e-mail messages for an e-mail account that you
have with an Internet Service Provider (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.

Tips 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 Menu > 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.
Exchanging Messages and Using Outlook | 75
Managing 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
76 | Exchanging Messages and Using Outlook
folders, or rename/delete folders when connected. You can also set
different download options for each folder.

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
“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).
To play items on your device
Use the library to find and play songs, videos, and playlists that are
stored on your device or removable storage card.
1.
If you are not on the Library screen, tap
Menu
>
Library
.
2.
On the Library screen, tap the Library arrow (near the top of the
screen), and then tap the library that you want use (for example,
My Device or Storage Card).
3.
Tap a category (for example, My Music or My Playlists), tap and
hold the item that you want to play (such as a song, album, or
artist name), and then tap
Play
.
Note To play a file that is stored on your device but is not in a library, on the
Library screen, tap Menu > Open File. Tap and hold the item that you
want to play (such as a file or a folder), and then tap Play.
98 | Experiencing Multimedia
Copy 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.
When synchronizing 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.
For more information about synchronizing files to mobile devices, see
desktop Player Help on the PC.
Note Audio files copy faster if the desktop Player is configured to
automatically set the quality level for audio files copied to your device.
For more information, see desktop Player Help on the PC.

Federal Communications Commission Notice
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 harm-ful 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.
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 device and its antenna(s) used for this transmitter must not be
co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or
transmitter.

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.
Important Health and Safety Information
Retain and follow all product safety and operating instructions. Observe
all warnings in the operating instructions on the product.
To reduce the risk of bodily injury, electric shock, fire, and damage to
the equipment, observe the following precautions.
Safety Precautions for RF Exposure
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
specified by the FCC with the device 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 device while operation can be well below the maximum value. This
is because the device 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 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 each model.
(Body-worn measurements may differ among 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 device while it is on, use the specific original manufacturer supplied
or approved carrying case, holster, or other body-worn accessory.

Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed
and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure
to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Govern-ment. These limits are part of
comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy
for the gen-eral population. The guidelines are based on the safety
standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards
bodies:
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992
Appendix | 115
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measure-ment (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.
In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for portable devices used by the
public is 1.6 Watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The
standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in usage.
Normal condi-tions only ensure the radiative performance and safety
of the interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equip-ment,
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.
SAR Information
SAR(1g) = 0.460mW/g; SAR(10g) = 0.221mW/g.
