Product Reference Guide
Charging Considerations
It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are charging the
Lithium-Ion battery pack. The process is most efficient at normal room temperature or
slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the stated range of 18°C to
25°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could damage the batteries and
shorten their charging life cycle.
Storage and Safety Precautions
Although charged, Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their
capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens they will
require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored at temperatures
between-20°C to 60°C, however they may be depleted more rapidly at the high end of this
range. It is recommended to store batteries within normal room temperature ranges.

Installing and Removing Software
Any program created for your PA966 can be installed as long as there is sufficient memory
or storage space.
First install the software on your desktop computer and then connect the PA966 to your
desktop computer. Some software programs provide their own setup instructions. Most
software programs use Application Manager to install and remove software on the PA966.
In the Mobile Device window, click Tools, and then click Application Manager.
ۖ
33
Product Reference Guide
Windows Explorer opens the Mobile Device window for your device.
Application Manager detects the software that
is available but not yet installed on the PA966.
System software and programs added to the
PA966 at the factory are stored in FlashROM.
You cannot remove or modify this software, and
you’ll never accidentally lose FlashROM
contents.
Software programs and data files added to your
PA966 after factory installation can be stored in
RAM or Flash Memory.
InBox
Following is an overview of InBox. Step-by-Step information on how to use this program
can be found in the Help function on the PA966. To view Help, tap Start, and then Help.
Sending and Receiving E-Mail with InBox
Use InBox to send and receive e-mail messages using any of these methods:
Send and receive messages using a dial-up connection to a service provider or your
corporate network.
Note: You can send and receive messages with Inbox, but this function cannot be
synchronized with Outlook.
Sending Mail Remotely
In addition to exchanging mail messages with your desktop computer, you can send and
receive mail from a remote mail server by setting up an e-mail account with a service
provider.
34
Product Reference Guide
Note: If you’re setting up an Internet mail account with an ISP (Internet Service Provider),
the ISP must use a POP3 mail server and an SMTP mail gateway.
For dial-up connections, you’ll require an internal PCMCIA type modem card or external
modem for the PA966. You’ll also need to set up the remote connection on the PA966
using the Connections program.
Setting Up Remote Mail
You can use multiple mail services to
obtain mail. For each mail service
you will access, first set up and
name each mail service. If you will
use the same service to connect to
different mailboxes, set up and name
each mailbox connection.
In the InBox on the PA966, tap
Compose, Options, the Services
tab, and then the Add button. A
setup wizard will walk you through
the steps.
The software for creating an Internet Mail connection to an ISP is pre-installed on the PA966.
Work Remotely
Mail received via dial-up connection appears in the InBox folder on the PA966, together
with the mail you synchronize with your desktop computer. Messages received remotely
are linked to your mail server rather than to your desktop computer.
You can work online, which means that you read and respond to messages while connected to the server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on
your device.
35
Product Reference Guide
You can also work offline. Once you’ve downloaded new message headers or partial
messages, you can disconnect from the server and then decide which message to download completely. The next time you connect, InBox automatically downloads the complete
messages you’ve marked for retrieval and sends the messages you’ve composed.
Receiving Messages
Messages received by synchronizing with your desktop computer and through remote
connections appear together in your InBox. Double-tap a message to read it.
When you connect to your Internet mail service, the InBox downloads only the first 100
lines of each new message to the InBox folder by default. No mail attachments are
downloaded. When you synchronize with your desktop computer, only the first 50 lines of
each new message remains on the mail server or your desktop computer.
You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in their
entirety the next time you synchronize or connect to your mail
service. Select the message, tap Service, and then tap
Retrieve Full Copy. The icons in the InBox messages list give
you a visual indication of the message status.
Specify your downloading preferences when setting up the
service or selecting your synchronization options. You can
change them at any time.
To change InBox delivery options for mail synchronization: In the Mobile Devices
window on your desktop computer select your WinCE icon, click Tools, and then click
ActiveSync Options. Select Message and then click Options. (For the Options
button to be available, you must have previously enabled message synchronization.)
To change InBox delivery options for remote mail: In InBox on your PA966, tap
Service and then tap the service name. Then tap Service again and tap Properties.
You’ll need to download a full message before you can view its attachments.
36
Product Reference Guide
Sending Messages
To compose a new message, tap the New Message button on the command bar. Enter
an e-mail address in the To field or select a name from the Address Book. All e-mail
addresses entered in the e-mail fields in Contacts appear in the Address Book.
To send your message, tap File and Send. Messages are placed in your OutBox folder
on the PA966 and will be delivered to their destination in one of two ways:
They are transferred to the OutBox folder in Exchange or Outlook on your desktop
computer the next time you synchronize.
They are transmitted to your mail server the next time you connect remotely. In
InBox, make sure the appropriate service is selected on the Service menu. Then tap
Connect.
