External Headset Jack
The external headset jack connects a mobile phone style headset to your
mobile computer for use in noisy environments. The jack is a 2.5 mm,
three-conductor jack, with autosensing of the headset jack insertion which
disables the internal speaker and microphone. The external headset jack is
located on the top of the mobile computer next to the scanner.
Headset Jack
Battery
The CN2B Computer comes with an 8.64 Watt-hour, 3.7V, 2150maH,
replaceable LiIon battery. To view the status of this battery, tap Start > Settings > the System tab > the Power icon > the Power tab to view the current status of both the main battery and the backup battery. Tap ok to exit.
If your computer shuts down because of low battery conditions, your computer does not operate. This is done to ensure that data is protected.
Although the battery does protect the data against loss for several hours,
you should connect your computer to a power source when you first detect
a low battery condition.
Your computer contains an internal supercapacitor, a temporary power
storage device, that protects data for up to ten minutes. This is to give you
time to replace the main battery pack before that data is lost. Be sure to put
the computer in a suspend mode before doing so.
CN2B Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 1 — Introduction
The lithium-ion battery pack that is used in this device may present a
fire or chemical burn hazard if it is mistreated. Do not disassemble it,
heat it above 100°C (212°F), or incinerate it.
Removing the main battery when the backup battery low or critically
low icon appears on the status bar may cause your CN2B to cold boot
and you may lose data.
If you fail to replace the battery immediately, you may lose important
data or applications.
If you have at least one device in your CN2B Computer (radio, scanner, or
imager), the battery power fail level is set so that after the system shuts
down in a low battery condition, there is still sufficient charge to allow the
unit to remain configured, keep proper time, and maintain DRAM
(Dynamic Random Access Memory) for at least 23 to 32 hours at room
temperature if the main battery remains in the mobile computer.
The configuration and time are lost if:
• The battery discharges beyond this level.
• The battery is removed when the computer is not in suspend mode.
• A cold reset is performed on the computer.
You can modify RAM maintenance in a limited way. On the CN2B Computer, tap Start > Settings > the System tab > the Power icon > the Battery
tab. Drag the top slider bar to the right to change the suspend voltage to
favor suspend time over rundown time, then click ok to exit.

Resetting Your CN2B Computer
Performing a Warm-Boot
Performing a warm-boot may be necessary to correct conditions where an
application stops responding to the system. It does, however, unload all
running programs.
Press and hold the I/O key for ten seconds, then the CN2B Computer continues from the screen you were at before you performed the warm-boot.
Performing a Cold-Boot
In some cases where the CN2B Computer completely stops responding, it
may be necessary to perform a cold-boot. Because this may result in data
loss, this procedure is not recommended unless all other recovery methods
have failed.
Note: This deletes all programs and data stored in RAM including the
Object Store. Make sure data is backed up to your host computer or a storage card before performing a cold-boot.

Or tap the word you want to use
Tips for getting good recognition:
• Write neatly.
• Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross of
the “t” and apostrophes below the top line so they are not confused with
the word above. Write periods and commas above the baseline.
• For better recognition, increase the zoom level to 300% by using the
Tools menu. Recognition does not work well below a 150% zoom level.
28
CN2B Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile 2003
• Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so
the CN2B Computer can easily tell where words begin and end.
• Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as
accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.
• If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an
“8”) after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add is not
included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.
Drawing on the Screen
You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen.
The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select
items and how they are edited. For example, you can resize selected drawings, while you cannot resize writing.
Creating a Drawing
• After your first stroke, wait for a drawing box to appear around the area
you marked. Subsequent strokes in or touching the drawing box become
part of the drawing. Drawings that do not cross the borders of the box
are considered writing.
The drawing box indicates the boundary
Note: You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily
work on or view your drawing. Tap Tools and then a zoom level.
Selecting a Drawing
If you want to edit or format a drawing, you must select it first. Tap and
hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection handle appears. To select
multiple drawings, deselect the Pen icon and then drag to select the drawings you want.
You can cut, copy, and paste selected drawings by tapping and holding the
selected drawing and then tapping an editing command on the pop-up
menu, or by tapping the command on the Edit menu. To resize a drawing,
make sure the Pen icon is not selected, and drag a selection handle.

Microsoft ActiveSync
Visit the following Microsoft Web site for the latest in updates, technical
information, and samples:
www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/resources/communities/default.mspx
Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your
desktop with the information on your CN2B Computer. Synchronization
compares the data on your CN2B Computer with your desktop and
updates both computers with the most recent information. For example:
• Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your CN2B
Computer with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop.
• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
CN2B Computer and desktop. Your files are automatically converted to
the correct format.
Note: 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 CN2B Computer data.
• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your CN2B Computer and
desktop.
• Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to
your desktop 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.
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your desktop from
the Windows Mobile Companion CD. For more information on installing
ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already installed on
your CN2B Computer.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you connect your CN2B Computer to your desktop, set up a partnership so you
can synchronize information between your CN2B Computer and your
desktop, and customize your synchronization settings. Your first synchronization process automatically begins when finished using the wizard.
After your first synchronization, look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on
your CN2B Computer. Notice that information you have stored in
Microsoft Outlook on your desktop was copied to your CN2B Computer,
and you did not have to type a word. Disconnect the CN2B Computer
from your computer and you are ready to go!

Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile 2003
Once you have set up ActiveSync and completed the first synchronization
process, you can initiate synchronization from your CN2B Computer. To
switch to ActiveSync on your CN2B Computer, tap Start > ActiveSync.
Note that if you have a wireless LAN card, you can synchronize remotely
from your CN2B Computer.
For information about using ActiveSync on your desktop, start ActiveSync
on your desktop, and then see ActiveSync Help.

For more information about ActiveSync on your CN2B Computer, switch

Microsoft Pocket Outlook
Microsoft Pocket Outlook includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Inbox, and
Notes. You can use these programs individually or together. For example,
you can use e-mail addresses stored in Contacts to address e-mail messages
in Inbox.
Using ActiveSync, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook
or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop with your CN2B Computer. You
can also synchronize this information directly with a Microsoft Exchange
server. Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the changes you
made on your CN2B Computer and desktop or server and updates both
computers with the latest information. For information on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop.
You can switch to any program by tapping it on the Start menu.
Calendar: Scheduling Appointments and Meetings
To switch to Calendar on the CN2B Computer, tap Start > Calendar.
Use Calendar to schedule appointments, including meetings and other
events. You can check your appointments in one of several views (Day,
Week, Month, Year, and Agenda) and set Calendar to remind you of
appointments with a sound or other method. Appointments for the day can
display on the Today screen.

Synchronizing Calendar
Calendar items stored on your device can be synchronized with calendar
items on your desktop or Microsoft Exchange Server. (Note you can only
synchronize information directly with an Exchange Server if your company
is running Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2002 or later.) Calendar
synchronization is automatically selected in ActiveSync.
Calendar items entered on one computer are copied to the other during
synchronization. Handwritten notes and drawings are saved as metafiles
(pictures). For information on synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the
desktop.
Why Use Categories in the Calendar?
Use categories to group related tasks, contacts, and appointments. Then,
use these groupings to quickly display only the information you want. For
example, you can share your device with another by assigning appointments to a category with a special project’s name. You can then use this category to filter Calendar and only display appointments for that project.
Note: In Month View, the day of an appointment assigned to the Holiday
category appears in red.

What’s an All Day Event?
An appointment can either be a normal appointment or an all day event,
which lasts the full day or spans many days. Examples include a trade show,
a vacation, or a seminar. You can also use all day events to schedule an
annual event, such as a birthday or anniversary. In this case, change the Status box to Free (you may need to scroll to see it) so that it does not show
time as busy in your calendar. All day events do not occupy blocks of time
in Calendar; they appear in banners at the top of the calendar.
Note: You cannot modify or create all-day events with attendees on the
device. If you create all-day events with attendees on your desktop, use
ActiveSync to copy such events to the device. Then, view them in Calendar.
For more information on copying files, see ActiveSync Help. To use the
device to schedule an appointment with attendees lasting all day, set type to
“Normal,” then adjust the date and time appropriately.
This describes the all-day event
What’s a Recurrence Pattern?
If you have an appointment or task that you do on a regular basis, such as a
weekly team meeting or a monthly status report, enter the item once and
set a recurrence pattern for it. If the default patterns in the list are not what
you need, you can create your own pattern using the wizard.

Synchronizing E-mail Messages
After selecting Inbox for synchronization in ActiveSync, e-mail messages
are synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. During
synchronization:
• Messages are copied from the Inbox folder on your desktop or the
Microsoft Exchange server to the Inbox folder on your CN2B Computer. (Note that you can only synchronize information directly with an
Exchange Server if your company is running Microsoft Mobile Information Server 2002 or later.) By default, you receive messages from the last
three days only, the first 100 lines of each new message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size.
• Messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to
Exchange or Outlook and then sent from those programs.
• The messages on the two computers are linked. When you delete a message on your CN2B Computer, it is deleted from your desktop the next
time you synchronize.
• Messages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are synchronized only if they were selected for synchronization in ActiveSync.
For information on initiating Inbox synchronization or changing synchronization settings, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop or select Start > Help
> Connections to see Connections Help.
Managing E-mail Messages and Folders
Each e-mail account and SMS account has its own folder hierarchy with
five default folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, and Sent Items.
The messages you receive and send through the mail account are stored in
these folders. You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy.
The Deleted Items folder contains messages that were deleted on the
device. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends
on the Inbox options you have chosen.
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using
ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.
• If you use ActiveSync,
e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook automatically synchronize with your device. You can select to synchronize additional folders by
designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the messages you move are then 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 desktop.
• If you use SMS,
messages are stored in the Inbox folder.
56
CN2B Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Chapter 2 — Windows Mobile 2003
• If you use POP3
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 mail server.
The next time you connect, the mail server sees that the messages are
missing from the device Inbox and deletes them from the server. This
prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also
means that you no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the CN2B Computer.
• If you use IMAP4,
the folders created and the e-mail messages moved are mirrored on the
server. Thus, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your
mail server, whether it is from your CN2B Computer or desktop. This
synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail
server, create new folders, or rename or delete folders when connected.
For all accounts except ActiveSync, you can access folder options by tapping Tools > Manage Folders.
Connecting to a Mail Server
In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop, you can
send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a
network card connected to your CN2B Computer. You need to set up a
remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail
server. For more information, see “Remote Access (Modems)” on page 101.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to
the CN2B Computer Inbox folder, messages in the CN2B Computer Outbox folder are sent, and messages that were deleted on the e-mail server are
removed from the CN2B Computer Inbox folder.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your
e-mail server rather than your desktop. When you delete a message on your
CN2B Computer, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you
connect based on the settings selected in ActiveSync.
You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and
respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent
as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your CN2B Computer.
When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or
partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide
which messages to download completely. The next time you connect,
Inbox downloads the complete messages you have marked for retrieval and
sends the messages you have composed.
