text.
21
Some tips for getting good recognition are listed below:
z Write neatly.
z Write 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 confused with the
word above. Write periods and commas above the line.
z For better recognition, use Menu Æ Zoom to increase the zoom level to 300%.
z Write the letters of a word close together and leave big gaps between words.
z Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents
some punctuation cannot be converted.
z 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 will not be
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 can be edited. For example, selected drawings can be resized,
while writing cannot.
Tap to return to your original
writing.
Or, tap the word you want to use.
22
Creating a Drawing
1. Tap Menu Æ Draw to enable drawing mode. A check (√) appears before the
command.

box appears.
3. Subsequent strokes in or touching the drawing box become part of the
drawing. Drawings that do not cross three ruled lines will be treated as
writing.
NOTE: You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily work on or view
your drawing. Tap Menu Æ Zoom and then choose a zoom level.
Editing Your Drawing
If you want to edit or format a drawing, you must select it first.
1. Tap Menu Æ Draw to disable drawing mode. The check (√) before the
command should disappear.
2. Tap and hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection handle appears.
3. Tap and hold the selected drawing and then tap an editing command (cut,
copy or paste) on the shortcut menu.
4. To resize a drawing, drag a selection handle.

the boundaries of the
drawing.
23
Recording a Message
In any program where you can write or draw on the screen, you can also quickly
capture thoughts, reminders and phone numbers by recording a message. In the
Notes program, you can either create a stand-alone recording or include a
recording in a written note. If you want to include the recording in a note, open
the note first. In the Messaging program, you can add a recording to an email
message.

24
Recording Formats
Your Pocket PC supports several formats for voice notes. The formats vary in
both the quality of the recording and the size of the sound file. When selecting a
recording format, you should consider the quality you need as well as how much
storage memory the recording will use on your Pocket PC.
Not all recording formats are compatible with other software or computers. If
you will share your recordings with others or transfer a recording to your desktop
computer, be sure to choose a recording format that is supported by the software
used to play recordings on the other computer.
The PCM format offers the highest quality recording and is compatible with all
Pocket PC models, other Windows-powered mobile devices and desktop
computers that use Windows operating systems. The GSM 6.10 format is
compatible with all Pocket PC models and other Windows-powered mobile
devices, but may not work with desktop computers.
To select a recording format:
1. Tap Æ Settings Æ Input.
2. On the Options tab in the Input control panel, select a voice recording format
from the drop-down list.
The list of recording formats on your Pocket PC indicates the sample rate,
whether the format is stereo or mono and how much storage memory is required
per second of recording. You may need to experiment with different sample rates
and formats to determine which format best suits your voice.
Using My Text
When using Messaging or MSN Messenger, use My Text to quickly insert preset
or frequently used messages into the text entry area. To insert a message, tap
Menu Æ My Text and then tap a message.
25
NOTE: After inserting a My Text message, you can add text to it before you send the
message.
To edit a My Text message, tap Menu Æ My Text Æ Edit My Text Messages. Select
the message you wish to edit and make desired changes.
2.9 Locking Your Pocket PC
When not using your Pocket PC, you can use the lock function so that accidental
touching of the device does not cause your Pocket PC to operate.
To lock your Pocket PC, tap Device unlocked on the Today screen. Your Pocket
PC will not respond to any tapping of the screen (except the left soft key Unlock)
or pressing of the buttons (except the power button).

3 Managing Your Pocket PC
This chapter tells you how to effectively manage power, memory, settings, data
and programs of your Pocket PC.
3.1 Managing Power
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:
z When the battery is very low, your device automatically sets the volume down as a
protection. Under such circumstances, you will not be able to turn up the volume unless
the battery is charged to a certain level of power.

4.5 Messaging: Sending and Receiving E-mail
Messages
You can use Messaging to send and receive email messages in two ways:

Outlook on your desktop computer.
z By connecting directly to an e-mail server through an ISP (Internet Service
Provider) or a network. This method requires an optional modem or network
card.
Tap Æ Messaging 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:
z 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.
z Email messages in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC are transferred to
Exchange or Outlook and then sent from those programs.
z 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.
z Email messages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are
synchronized only if they have been selected for synchronization in
ActiveSync.
46
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 Section 6.1.)
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 Messaging, tap Menu Æ Tools Æ 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.
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.
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.
47
When you receive a message, tap it to open it.
When you connect to your email server or synchronize with your desktop
computer or server, by default, you will receive messages from the last three
days only, the first 100 lines of each new message file attachments of less than
100KB in size. The original messages remain on the server or your desktop
computer.
Select the sort order for messages.
Tap to open a message.
Tap and hold to display the shortcut
menu.
Select the service and folde
r
you want to display.
Tap to return to the message list.
48
You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in full during your next
synchronization or email server connection. In the message list, tap and hold the
message you want to retrieve. On the shortcut menu, tap Mark for Download. The
icons in the Inbox message list give you visual indications of message status.
You specify your downloading preferences when you set up the service or select
your synchronization options. You can change them at any time.
z Change options for Inbox synchronization using ActiveSync options. For
more information, see ActiveSync Help.
z Change options for direct email server connections in Messaging on your
Pocket PC. Tap Menu Æ Options and tap the account you want to change. Tap
and hold the account and tap Delete to remove an account.
Composing and Sending Messages
1. In the message list, tap Menu Æ Switch Accounts and select the account.
2. Tap New.
3. In the To field, enter an email address of one or more recipients, separating
them with a semicolon. If the address is already in your contact list, you can
tap To to select the e-mail address.
4. Enter your message. To quickly enter common messages, tap Menu Æ My
Text and select the desired message.
49
5. To check spelling, tap Menu Æ Spell Check.
6. If you want to attach a file to the message, tap Menu Æ Insert and select the
desired file.
NOTE: OLE objects cannot be attached to Inbox messages.
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:
z The message is transferred to the Outbox folder in Exchange or Outlook on
your desktop computer and sent the next time you synchronize.
z The message is transferred to your email server the next time you connect.
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.
z 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.
50
z 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
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.
z 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
Menu Æ Tools Æ Manage Folders in the message list.
51
5 More Programs
In addition to Microsoft Pocket Outlook, there are other programs built into your
Pocket PC. This chapter tells you how to use these programs.
5.1 Microsoft ActiveSync
NOTE: ActiveSync is already installed on your Pocket PC. You need to install ActiveSync
on your desktop computer. (For information on installing ActiveSync, see section 1.4.)
When you have established the connection between your Pocket PC and your
desktop computer, you can synchronize the information between the two with
ActiveSync. Synchronization compares the data on the two sides and updates
both computers with the most recent information. For example, you can:
z Keep your Pocket Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks databases
up-to-date by synchronizing your Pocket PC with Microsoft Outlook data on
your desktop computer.
z Synchronize email messages in your Pocket PC Inbox with email messages
in Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer.
z Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your Pocket
PC and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to the
correct format.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
z Back up and restore your Pocket PC data.
z Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your Pocket PC and desktop
computer.
z Add and remove programs on your Pocket PC.
z Pass through your desktop computer to a network or the Internet.
52
Synchronizing Data
Once you have created a synchronization relationship and completed the first
synchronization, you can initiate synchronization from your Pocket PC.
1. Connect your Pocket PC to your desktop computer.
2. On your Pocket PC, tap Æ Programs Æ ActiveSync.
3. Tap Sync to begin synchronization.
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of
information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for
specific information types. You can:
z Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode.
For example, you can synchronize continually while the Pocket PC is
connected or only when you choose the synchronize command.
z 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.

Favorite Links
During synchronization, the list of favorite links in the Mobile Favorites folder
on your desktop computer is synchronized with Pocket Internet Explorer on your
Pocket PC. Both computers are updated with changes made to either list each
time you synchronize. Unless you mark the favorite link as a mobile favorite,
only the link (and not the page) will be downloaded to your Pocket PC, and you
must connect to your ISP or network to view the content. For more information
on synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.
Mobile Favorites
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5 or later on your desktop computer,
you can download mobile favorites to your Pocket PC. When you synchronize
your desktop computer and Pocket PC, the content of your mobile favorites is
downloaded to your Pocket PC so that you can view pages while you are not
connected to your ISP or your network.
Use the Internet Explorer plug-in installed with ActiveSync to create mobile
favorites quickly.
To create a mobile favorite:
1. In Internet Explorer on your desktop computer, click Tools, and then click
Create Mobile Favorite.
z To change the link name, enter a new name in the Name box.
z To change how often the mobile favorite is updated, select a desired
update schedule under Update.
2. Click OK. Internet Explorer downloads the latest version of the page to your
desktop computer.
3. If you want to download the pages that are linked to the mobile favorite you
just created, right-click the mobile favorite and then click Properties. On the
Download tab, specify the number of links deep you want to download. To
conserve memory on your Pocket PC, download only one level of links.
4. Synchronize your Pocket PC and desktop computer. Mobile favorites that
are stored in the Mobile Favorites folder in Internet Explorer are
downloaded to your Pocket PC.
67
NOTE: If you do not specify an update schedule, you must manually download content to
keep the information updated on your desktop computer and Pocket PC. Before
synchronizing, in Internet Explorer on your desktop computer, click Synchronize on the
Tools menu. You will see the last time content was downloaded to the desktop computer,
and you can manually download content if needed.
CAUTION: You can add a button to the Internet Explorer toolbar for creating mobile
favorites. In Internet Explorer on your desktop computer, on the View menu, click
Toolbars, and then click Customize.
Conserving Memory
Mobile favorites take up storage memory on your Pocket PC. Follow these tips
to minimize the amount of memory used:
z Use ActiveSync settings to turn off photos and sounds for the Mobile
Favorites information type or to stop some mobile favorites from being
downloaded to your Pocket PC. For more information, see ActiveSync Help.
z Limit the number of downloaded linked pages. In Internet Explorer on the
desktop computer, right-click the mobile favorite you want to change, and
then click Properties. On the Download tab, specify 0 or 1 for the number of
linked pages you want to download.
