Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone
46 | Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone
4.1 Using ActiveSync
ActiveSync synchronizes information on your device with information on your PC, such
as Outlook content. ActiveSync can also synchronize over a wireless or cellular 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 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.
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 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.
Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone | 47
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.
4.2 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.
48 | Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone
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 files, 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
1. In ActiveSync on the device, tap Menu > Options.
2. Do one or both of the following:
Synchronizing Your Pocket PC Phone | 49

3. To stop synchronizing with one PC completely, tap the PC, and then 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.
1. In ActiveSync on the device, tap Menu > Configure Server. If you have not yet set up
synchronization with Exchange Server, this will say Add Server Source.
2. In Server address, enter the name of the server running Exchange Server, and tap

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 storage card into your device (32MB or larger is recommended).
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.
2. Click the Sync tab.
3. Select the storage card.

5.6 Resetting Your Pocket PC Phone
Occasionally you may need to reset your Pocket PC Phone. 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 left side of your
device. The device restarts, and then displays the Today screen.
To perform a hard reset
Press and hold both SOFT KEYS on the device. 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.

Download 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 4.
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.
Text messages are automatically received when your phone is turned on. When your
phone is turned off (in flight mode), messages are held by your service provider until
the next time your 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 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.
1. Tap Menu > Switch Accounts to select 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
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.

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.

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).
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.
Experiencing Multimedia | 121
To play an item on a network
Use the Open URL command to play a song or video that is stored on the Internet or on a
network server.
1. If you are not on the Playback screen, tap OK to close the current screen and display
the Playback screen.
2. Tap Menu > Open URL.
3. Do one of the following:
In the URL box, enter a network address.
In the History box, tap a URL that you have previously used.
Note To play an item on a network, you must be connected to a network. For more information
about creating a remote connection between your device and a network, see
Connections Help on your device.
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.

SAR Information
SAR: 1.098 W/kg @1g (USA)
THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERN-MENT’S
REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless mobile CDMA 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 set by the Federal
Communications Commission of the U.S. Government. 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 both U.S. and 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 CDMA phone employs
a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg*.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets
the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that
contains no metal and that position the antenna of the CDMA phone
a minimum of 1.5cm from the body. The SAR values of this CDMA
phone are 0.573 W/g (body) and 1.003 W/g (head). Use of other
accessories may not ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure
guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with
Appendix | 141
the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model
device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display
Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on
FCC ID: NM8PA10A. Additional information on Specific Absorption
Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications &
Internet Association (CTIA) web-site as http://www.devicefacts.net.
* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile CDMA phone
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 condition only to 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.
