Low Battery Shutdown
If your computer shuts down because of low battery conditions, your com-
puter will not operate. This is done to ensure that data is protected. Al-
though the battery will 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 super capacitor, 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.
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 72 hours at room temperature if the
main battery remains in the mobile computer. The configuration and time
are lost if:
SThe battery discharges beyond this level.
SThe battery is removed when the computer is not in suspend mode.
SA cold reset is performed on the computer.

who is calling. She asks if you two are free this afternoon for an emer-
gency meeting. While your colleague fumbles through his paper orga-
nizer, you press a button on your 700 Series Computer and instantly see
a list of today’ s appointments and meetings. You are quickly able to tell
your manager your available times, and make a note of the new meeting
while on the call. You hang up, send an e-mail with a schedule request
for the three of you at the desired location. For more information on
scheduling appointments and meetings, see Microsoft Pocket Outlook”

alternates or return to the original writing. To do so, tap and hold the in-
correct word (tap one word at a time). On the pop-up menu, tap Alterna-
tes. A menu with a list of alternate words appears. Tap the word you want
to use, or tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original
writing.
Tips for getting good recognition:
SWrite neatly.
SWrite on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross
of the “t” and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not con-
fused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the line.
SFor better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the
Tools menu.
SWrite the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so
that the 700 Series Computer can easily tell where words begin and end.
SHyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as ac-
cents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.
SIf 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 will
not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.

Microsoft ActiveSync
Visit the following Microsoft Web site for the latest in updates, technical
information, and samples:
Shttp://www.microsoft.com/mobile/pocketpc/downloads/activesync.asp
Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your
desktop computer with the information on your 700 Series Computer.
Synchronization compares the data on your 700 Series Computer with
your desktop computer and updates both computers with the most recent
information. For example:
SKeep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your 700 Series
Computer with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop computer.
SSynchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your
700 Series Computer and desktop computer. 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:
SBack up and restore your 700 Series Computer data.
SCopy (rather than synchronize) files between your 700 Series Computer
and desktop computer.
SControl when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
mode. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to
your desktop computer or only when you choose the synchronize com-
mand.
SSelect 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
computer from the Pocket PC Companion CD. For more information on
installing ActiveSync, see your Quick Start card. ActiveSync is already
installed on your 700 Series Computer.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you con-
nect your 700 Series Computer to your desktop computer, set up a part-
nership so you can synchronize information between your 700 Series
Computer and your desktop computer, and customize your synchroniza-
tion 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 700 Series Computer. You will notice that information you
have stored in Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer has been
copied to your 700 Series Computer, and you did not have to type a word.
Disconnect your 700 Series Computer from your computer and you are
ready to go!

Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages
Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in either of these ways:
SSynchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft
Outlook on your desktop computer.
SSend and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail
server through an Internet Service Provider (ISP) or a network.
Synchronizing E-mail Messages
E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization
process. You will need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync. For
information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the
desktop computer. During synchronization:
SMessages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on
your desktop computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your 700
Series Computer. By default, you will receive messages from the past
three days only, the first 100 lines of each message, and file attachments
of less than 100 KB in size.
SE-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your 700 Series Computer are
transferred to Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those pro-
grams.
SE-mail messages in subfolders must be selected in ActiveSync on your
desktop computer in order to be transferred.
Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server
In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop computer,
you can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server
using a modem or network card connected to your 700 Series Computer.
You will 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 “Getting Con-
nected” on page 67.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to
the 700 Series Computer Inbox folder, messages in the 700 Series Com-
puter Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted on the
e-mail server are removed from the 700 Series Computer Inbox folder.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your
e-mail server rather than your desktop computer. When you delete a mes-
sage on your 700 Series 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 re-
spond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent
as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your 700 Series Computer.
When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or
partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then de-
cide 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.

Managing E-mail 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
700 Series Computer. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders
depends on the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap Tools
Options the Message tab, then select your options.
If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools
Manage Folders to create new folders. To move a message to another fold-
er, 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.
SIf you use ActiveSync:
E-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will automatically be
synchronized with your 700 Series Computer. You can select to syn-
chronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The
folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on
the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox fold-
er to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family for syn-
chronization, 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 computer.
SIf you use SMS:
Messages are stored in the Inbox folder.
SIf you use POP3:
and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken
between the messages on the 700 Series Computer and their copies on
the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see that
the messages are missing from the 700 Series Computer Inbox and de-
lete them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate cop-
ies 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
700 Series Computer.
SIf you use IMAP4:
The folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored
on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you con-
nect to your mail server, whether it is from your 700 Series Computer
or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever
you connect to your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete
folders when connected.
