Chapter 5: Getting Connected
You can use your Pocket PC Phone to exchange information with other mobile Pocket PC Phones as well as your PC, a network,
or the Internet. You have the following connection options:
?? Use the infrared (IR) port on your Pocket PC Phone to send and receive files between two Pocket PC Phones.
?? Connect to your mobile Internet service provider (ISP). Once connected, you can send and receive e-ma il messages by using
Inbox and view Web or WAP pages by using Microsoft Pocket Internet Explorer. The communication software for creating
a wireless ISP connection is already installed on your Pocket PC Phone. Your service provider will provide software needed
to install other services, such as paging and fax services.
?? Connect to the network at your company or organization where you work. Once connected, you can send and receive e -mail
messages by using Inbox, view Web or WAP pages by using Pocket Internet Explorer, and synchronize with your PC.
?? Connect to the virtual private network (VPN) at the company or organization where you work. Many corporations have a
need to extend their secure corporate Intranet to remote users. In the past, Remote Access Servers (RAS) have been used.
The remote user would need to use a dial-up connection to the corporate RAS server. This was considered secure since the
phone lines were directly connected from the remote user to the RAS server, which is part of the corporate Intranet. But with
the advent of ready access to the Internet for many remote users, using the Internet to access the corporate Intranet was easier
and much less expensive.
The dilemma was how to keep corporate data secure while using the very public Internet. The answer was to implement a
VPN solution. The textbook definition of a VPN is as follows: a combination of tunneling, encryption, authentication, and
access control technologies and services used to carry traffic over the Internet, a managed IP network or a provider's
backbone. The VPN solution requires software on the remote user’s computer as well as a VPN server within the corporate
Intranet.
A tunneling protocol is a method to encrypt the data over the Internet. The encryption key is known to t he remote user and the
server, so anyone trying to access the data along the Internet path would not be able to decrypt the data. There are currently
three tunneling protocols that are used in the majority of VPNs: IP Security (IPSec), the Layer 2 Tunneling Protocol (L2TP)
and the Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol (PPTP). Of the three PPTP is the most widely used. Microsoft supports PPTP
within Windows and the Pocket PC Phone.
The T-Mobile network supports the use of these three protocols with our VPN -ready wireless data service. Our VPN-ready
wireless data rate plans will provide you with a dedicated public Internet protocol address (known as an Internet 3 address or
I3). Be sure to advise your sales representative that you will need a VPN-ready wireless data rate plan.
If you plan to use your Pocket PC Phone to access the Internet only, then our standard Internet-ready wireless data rate plans
will be adequate. Be sure to check with your company’s IT department as to the requirements for your corporate VPN
solution.
Once connected, the added security of a VPN means that you can access the full resources of your company’s network. For
example, you can use File Explorer to access the files of computers on that network.

Managing Messages and Folders
By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service you have created: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox
and Sent Items. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the Pocket PC Phone. The behavior of the
Deleted and Sent Items folders depends on the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap Tools and then Options. On the
Message tab, select your options.
If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools, and then Manage Folders to create new folders. To move a
message to another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message and then tap Move to on the pop-up menu.
Folder behavior with a direct connection to an e-mail server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.
1. If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will automatically be synchronized with your Pocket
PC Phone. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you created and
the messages you moved will then be mirrored on the 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 into that folder. You can then read the messages while away from your PC.
2. If you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder of SMS category.
3. If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the
Pocket PC Phone and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see that the messages
are missing from the Pocket PC Phone Inbox and delete them from the server. This prevents you from 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 Pocket PC Phone.
4. If you use IMAP4, the folders you created and the e-mail messages you moved are mirrored on the server. Therefore,
Page 73
messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your Pocket PC Phone or PC. This
synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server; create new folders, or rename/delete folders
when connected.
Transferring Items Using Infrared
Using infrared (IR), you can send and receive information, such as contacts and appointments, between two Pocket PC Phones.

2. Have the owner of the other Pocket PC Phone send the information to you. Your Pocket PC Phone will automatically receive
it.
Terminal Services Client
Using the Terminal Services Client, you can log onto a Windows NT server-type PC that is running Terminal Services software
and use all of the programs that are available on that PC from your Pocket PC Phone. For example, instead of running Microsoft
Pocket Word, you can run the PC version of Microsoft Word and access all of the .doc files on that PC from your Pocket PC

Chapter 7 : Microsoft ActiveSync
Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your desktop PC with the information on your Pocket PC
Phone. Synchronization compares the data on your Pocket PC Phone with your desktop PC and updates both with the most
recent information. For example:
?? Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your Pocket PC Phone with Microsoft Outlook data on your PC.
?? Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your Pocket PC Phone and PC. Your files are automatically
converted to the correct format.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of
information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off
for specific information types.
With ActiveSync you can also:
?? Back up and restore your Pocket PC Phone data.
?? Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your Pocket PC Phone and PC.
?? Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually
while connected to your PC or only when you choose the synchronize command.
?? Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose
how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you connect your Pocket PC Phone to your PC, set up a
partnership so you can synchronize information between your Pocket PC Phone and your PC, and customize your
synchronization settings. Your first synchronization process will automatically begin when you finish using the wizard.
After your first synchronization, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on your Pocket PC Phone. You will notice that
information you have stored in Microsoft Outlook on your PC has been copied to your Pocket PC Phone, and you did not have to
type a wo rd. Disconnect your Pocket PC Phone from your PC and you are ready to go!
Once you have set up ActiveSync and completed the first synchronization process, you can initiate synchronization from your
Pocket PC Phone. To switch to ActiveSync on your Pocket PC Phone, tap and then tap ActiveSync. Note that if you have a
wireless LAN card, you can synchronize remotely from your Pocket PC Phone.
For information about using ActiveSync on your PC, start ActiveSync on your PC and then see ActiveSync Help.
Page 76
?? For more information about ActiveSync on your
Pocket PC Phone, switch to ActiveSync, tap and
then tap Help.
Synchronizing Files
When you first set up a connection, or by tapping Options in ActiveSync on your desktop PC, under Mobile Pocket PC Phone
you can see the list of programs you can synchronize. This list includes: Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Inbox, Files, Pocket
Access, Favorites and AvantGo channels. Files is a folder specially-created on your desktop PC in My Documents into which
you must place all files (Word, Excel etc.) you wish to synchronize.
To synchronize files
1. Select Files in ActiveSync, and then OK to create a new folder.
2. Use Windows Explorer on your desktop PC to find this folder – usually called “My Documents” pre-fixed by the name you
gave to your connection – then copy files you want to synchronize into this folder.
3. Tap Synchronize in ActiveSync.
For more information about ActiveSync on your Pocket PC Phone, switch to ActiveSync, tap and then tap Help.

Chapter 8: Microsoft Pocket Outlook
Microsoft Pocket Outlook includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Inbox and Notes. You can use these programs individually or
together. For example, e-mail addresses stored in Contacts can be used to address e-mail messages in Inbox.
Using ActiveSync, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange on your PC with your Pocket
PC Phone. You can also synchronize this information directly with a Microsoft Exchange server. Each time you synchronize,
ActiveSync compares the changes you made on your Pocket PC Phone and PC or server, and updates both with the latest
information. For information on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on the PC.
You can switch to any of these programs by tapping them on the menu.

Appendix A: Character Recognizer
Using Character Recognizer, you can write characters directly on your Pocket PC Phone screen with your stylus, just as you
would on a pie ce of paper. The characters you write are translated into typed text. Use Character Recognizer anywhere you want
to enter text - for example, to write a note or to fill in fields in a dialog box.
?? The default writing mode for Character
Recognizer is lowercase (Jot-compatible) mode.
In this mode, you write characters in lowercase.
The chart at the end of this appendix contains
examples of how to write characters in lowercase
mode.
?? You can also choose to write in uppercase
(Graffiti-compatible) mode. In this mode, you
write characters in uppercase. If you prefer to
write in uppercase mode, tap Uppercase Mode
in Options
on the input method menu. Whether a
letter appears in uppercase or lowercase when it
is converted to typed text depends on where in
the input panel you write it -
not on the mode you
have selected.
?? The Character Recognizer input panel is divided
into three writing areas. Letters written in the left
area (labeled ABC) create uppercase letters, and
letters written in the middle area (labeled abc)
create lowercase letters. Use the right area
(labeled 123) for writing numbers, symbols,
special characters and punctuation.
??
The chart is a partial display of the characters you
can write while in lowercase mode (the dot on
each character is the starting point for writing).
Remember that even though you write a letter in
its lowercase form, the case of the text that is
displayed depends on where you write the letter.
For example, if you write a lowercase “a” in the
ABC area, an uppercase “A” is di
splayed on the
screen.
For more information on using Character Recognizer and for demos of all characters, tap on the Character Recognizer input
panel.

Appendix B: Troubleshooting
Resetting the Pocket PC Phone and Clearing Memory
Yo u can perform a soft reset or a full reset, depending on the situation. A full reset, in the sense that you will lose all data and any
software you have installed yourself, is similar to reinstalling your operating system (OS) on your desktop PC. A soft reset is
similar to restarting your desktop PC.
If your Pocket PC Phone responds slowly, stops responding or freezes, try soft resetting it. A soft reset causes the Pocket PC
Phone to restart and re-adjust memory allocation. Unsaved data in open windows may be lost.
To perform a soft reset
?? Use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button for about two seconds. (For details on finding soft reset, see “Chapter 2,
Bottom Edge Components.”)
To perform a full reset
Warning: Clearing memory deletes all data and restores the Pocket PC Phone to its default settings. Programs installed at the
factory remain, while data you have created and programs you have installed are erased.
1. Unscrew the stylus and use the smaller point of the top-half.
2. Press t
he battery switch once to turn it off, and then once more to
turn it back on.
Use ActiveSync to keep a backup of your Pocket PC Phone data so that if you need to clear memory, you
can restore the data on your Pocket PC Phone. For more information, see A ctiveSync Help.
Battery loses power
When the battery is low, you will see a battery icon ( - main battery low, - main battery very low) in the status bar of the
Page 95
screen, and a pop-up screen will tell you to recharge the battery as soon as possible. The battery is split into two portions: main
battery and backup battery. When the main battery portion is discharged, your Pocket PC Phone will power off. However, the
backup battery portion will preserve your data for 72 hrs. If the backup battery portion is discharged, you run the risk of losing the
data on your Pocket PC Phone.
You want your Pocket PC Phone battery charge to last as long as possible, especially when you are on the road. Under normal
conditions, you can get many hours of use from a single set of batteries or from a full charge. Here are a few tips to help you get
the most from them.
Use external power whenever possible
Use the AC adapter to plug your Pocket PC Phone into external power whenever possible, especially when:
?? Establishing a remote connection.
?? Using the front light feature of your Pocket PC Phone display.
?? Connectin g to a PC.
?? Letting the notification light flash for extended periods.
Shorten auto suspend time
While on battery power, your Pocket PC Phone automatically suspends operation if you have not touched the hardware buttons or
used the stylus for a specified period. Maximize battery life by shortening the time. Tap and then Settings. On the System
tab, tap Power, and then adjust the On battery power setting.
To turn off sounds you do not need
The Pocket PC Phone produces sounds in response to a number of events, such as warnings, appointments, screen taps and
hardware button presses. To optimize battery life, turn off any sounds you do not need. Tap and then Settings. On the
Personal tab, tap Sounds & Notification and clear check boxes on the Volume and Notifications tabs.
To turn off notification light
Tap and then Settings. On the Personal tab, tap Sounds & Reminders. On the Reminders tab, clear the Flash light for
check box.
If you forget your password
If you forget your password, you will need to clear memory on the Pocket PC Phone. See Resetting the Pocket PC Phone and
Clearing Memory earlier in this appendix.
If you run out of phone memory
Memory on your Pocket PC Phone is shared between storage memory and program memory. Storage memory is used to store the
information you create and programs you install. Program memory is used to run programs on your Pocket PC Phone. Your
Pocket PC Phone automatically manages the allocation between storage and program memory. However, in some situations, such
as when memory is low, your Pocket PC Phone may not be able to automatically adjust the allocation. If you receive a message
stating that storage or program memory is unavailable, try the following solutions.
Finding Space in Storage Memory
?? Move data to a MMC/SD storage card.
?? Tap , Programs, and then File Explorer. Tap and hold the file you want to move, and tap Cut. Browse to the My
Documents folder in the storage card folder, tap Edit and then tap Paste. Files stored in folders other than My Documents, or
stored in folders within folders in My Documents, may not show up in the list view of some programs. When using Notes,
Pocket Word, or Pocket Excel, you can also move files by opening the item and tapping Tools or Edit and then
Rename/Move.
?? Move e-mail attachments. In Inbox, tap Tools and then Options. On the Storage tab, select Store attachments on storage
card. All attachments are moved to the storage card, and new attachments are automatically stored on the storage card.
?? Set programs such as Notes, Pocket Word, and Pocket Excel to automatically save new items on the storage card. In the
Page 96
program, tap Tools and then Options.
?? If you are copying files from your PC or another Pocket PC Phone to your Pocket PC Phone, try adjusting the slider in the
Memory setting. Tap and then Settings. On the System tab, tap Memory and check whether the slider can be adjusted
manually before copying files.

Modifications not expressly approved by Future Internet Ltd. Co. could
void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
Statement according FCC part 15.105
NOTE: 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

RF eposure
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 (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model. (Body-worn measurements may
differ among phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences
between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe
exposure.
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.
Health and Safety Information
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 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 phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate,
or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg *.
*In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones 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.
