Due to the size and capabilities of the device, you can keep your most important business and personal information up-to-date and close at hand. Microsoft ActiveSync increases the power of your Pocket PC by allowing you to synchronize the information on your desktop or Microsoft Exchange Server with your Pocket PC. Picture yourself in the following situations: While walking with a colleague, your cell phone rings and your boss asks if you two are free this afternoon for an emergency meeting. While your colleague fumbles through his paper organizer, you press a button on your Pocket PC and instantly see a list of today’s appointments and meetings. You are quickly able to tell the boss your available times. For more information on scheduling appointments and meetings, see Chapter 4. You are meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You download the latest movie information from the Internet to your desktop computer and then synchronize it with your Pocket PC. At dinner, you pull out your Pocket PC and review your movie options with your friends. For more information on downloading Web pages to your device, see Chapter 7. A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab your Pocket PC and catch the bus just in time. Because ActiveSync keeps the information on your Pocket PC up-to-date, you leisurely review your task list, make notes about the new books and CDs you want to buy and read and respond to e-mail messages. When you get back to the office, ActiveSync transfers any task changes you made, your notes and your e-mail message responses to your desktop computer. For more information on ActiveSync, see Chapter 7. v In addition, your Pocket PC is a digital camera and a MP3 player as well.

A fully charged battery should provide power for up to 8 hours of use. The operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using the Pocket PC. Some functions, such as using multimedia or operating a SD/MMC card, may consume the battery power considerably. Low Battery Signals and Actions CAUTION: Though your Pocket PC can retain data for 72 hours after its battery runs completely out of power, you must constantly charge the battery of your Pocket PC. This can prevent data loss or damage to the battery caused by the battery’s being kept in a discharged state for too long. When you recharge the battery upon a warning of low power, you should charge for at least 30 minutes. If you unplug the AC adapter soon, you may not have sufficient battery power for your operation. You can monitor the battery power by tapping Settings System tab Power icon. The remaining power is displayed on a status bar in the Power control panel. When the battery is low, your Pocket PC will pop up a warning message. You should save your data and recharge the battery immediately upon a warning of low power; otherwise your Pocket PC will turn off automatically. You need to 31 connect the Pocket PC to external AC power for charging before you can use it again. If the battery completely runs out of power, you will lose any information, programs or settings that you added. Power-Saving Tips Follow these suggestions to maximize the battery’s operating time, particularly when you are relying solely on the battery power for extended time periods. Suspend frequently. By default, the screen backlight will automatically turn off and the Pocket PC will also turn off when it has been idle for a period of time. You can shorten the length of the idle time using Settings System tab Power Advanced tab to set up. Press the power button to turn off your Pocket PC when it is not in use, even for a short time. You can also manually turn off the backlight by pressing and holding the power button. Turn off functions not needed or adjust settings. Lower the volume. Do not enable sounds or light flashing except for the most necessary notifications. (Tap Settings Personal tab Sounds & Notifications icon to set up.) Remove the SD/MMC card, if installed, from the slot if you are not using it. Avoid power-consuming situations such as: When connecting your Pocket PC to your desktop computer (Your Pocket PC will not auto-suspend while it is connected.) When using a modem or other peripheral When monitoring infrared transfers (Although you can set your Pocket PC to constantly monitor the IR port for files sent from other devices, doing so will quickly drain your battery.) When playing sound or music When recording. 32 3.2 Managing Memory Storage and Program Memory Files, settings and data that you add to your Pocket PC are stored in RAM (Random Access Memory). The RAM on your Pocket PC is shared between storage memory and program memory. Storage memory Storage memory is used to store the data you create and additional programs you install. Program memory Program memory is used to run programs on your Pocket PC. Your Pocket PC automatically manages the allocation between storage and program memory. However, in some situations, such as when the memory is running out, your Pocket PC may not be able to automatically adjust the allocation. (For information on solving memory problems, see section 8.4.) Additional Memory You can buy a SD/MMC storage card for backup, storage, archives or to transfer large files to other devices. Files stored on a storage card appear in a folder called SDMMC Disk, listed under My Device in the File Explorer application. Data stored on a storage card will be saved, even if your Pocket PC loses power. To protect your data, you can back up regularly to a storage card. 33 3.3 Customizing Your Pocket PC NOTE: Incorrect settings may cause your system to malfunction.

Tap Inbox on your Pocket PC to switch to the program. Synchronizing E-mail Messages E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. To do this, you need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer. During synchronization, the following occurs: Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your desktop computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your Pocket PC. By default, you receive messages from the past three days only, the first 100 lines of each message file attachments of less than 100 KB in size. Email messages in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC 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 Pocket PC, it is deleted from your desktop computer the next time you synchronize. Email messages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are synchronized only if they have been selected for synchronization in ActiveSync NOTE: You can also synchronize email messages with your desktop computer from a remote location. For more information, see Section 7.2. 53 Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server You can send and receive email messages by connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail server if you can connect to your ISP or local area network. (For information on connection, see Sections 7.4.) Setting up an Email Service You can use multiple email services to receive your messages. For each email service you intend to use, first set up and name the email service. If you use the same service to connect to different mailboxes, set up and name each mailbox connection. In Inbox, tap Acccouts New Account. Follow the directions in the New Service Wizard. For an explanation of a screen, tap at the upper right corner of the screen. NOTE: You cannot add a new service while connected. Tap Accounts disconnect. Disconnect to When you connect to the email server, new messages are downloaded to the Inbox folder on your Pocket PC, messages in the Pocket PC Outbox folder are sent messages that have been deleted on the email server are removed from the Inbox folder on your Pocket PC. Messages that you receive directly from an email server are linked to your email server rather than your desktop computer. When you delete a message on your Pocket PC, it is also deleted from the email server the next time you connect based on the settings you selected in ActiveSync. You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages while connected to the email server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your Pocket PC. When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the email 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. 54 Using the Message List Messages you receive are displayed in the message list. By default, the most recently received messages are displayed first in the list. Select the service and folder you want to display. Select the sort order for messages. Tap to open a message. Tap and hold to display a pop-up menu of actions. Tap to connect and to send and receive e-mail. Tap to connect to the selected service. When you receive a message, tap it to open it.

If you want to attach a file to the message, tap Edit select the desired file. Add Attachment and NOTE: OLE objects cannot be attached to Inbox messages. 57 7. Tap Send when you have finished the message. If you are working offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and is sent the next time you connect. The message is placed in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC and will be delivered in one of two ways: The message is transferred to the Outbox folder in Exchange or Outlook on your desktop computer and sent the next time you synchronize. The message is transferred to your email server the next time you connect. In Inbox, make sure the appropriate service is selected on the Accounts menu. Then tap the Connect button (or Connect on the Accounts menu). Managing Email Messages and Folders Each e-mail service 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 service 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 your Pocket PC. The behaviour of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends on the options you have chosen. Folder Behavior The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, POP3 or IMAP4. If you use ActiveSync, email messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are automatically synchronized with your Pocket PC. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync The folders you create and the messages you move are 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 computer. If you use POP3 and you move email messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the Pocket PC and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server sees that the 58 messages are missing from the Pocket PC 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 Pocket PC. If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the email messages you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your Pocket PC or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders or rename/delete folders when connected. For all services except ActiveSync, you can access folder options by tapping Tools Manage Folders in the message list. 59 5 Companion Programs In addition to Microsoft Pocket Outlook, several programs are built into your Pocket PC. They include Microsoft Pocket Word, Microsoft Pocket Excel, Windows Media Player, Microsoft Reader and additional programs.
