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. Ű 23 Product Reference Guide Chapter 4.

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. Ű 33 Product Reference Guide Windows Explorer opens thethe Mobile Device Application Manager detects software thatwindow for your device. 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 youâll 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. Send and receive messages using a wireless network card to a local area network (LAN). 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 youâre 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, youâll require an internal PCMCIA type modem card or external modem for the PA966. Youâll also need to set up the remote connection on the PA966 using the Connections program. For wireless connections, youâll require a RF card for the PA966. Youâll also need to set up the remote connection on the PA966 via the Network setting. 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. Ű 35 Product Reference Guide You can also work offline. Once youâve 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 youâve marked for retrieval and sends the messages youâve 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. Youâll 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. RF Communication Windows CE can support TCP/IP protocol, so the user can easily connect to the Internet by Modem or RF. The following chapter is an introduction on how to connect the PA966 to a network via TCP/IP. PA966 come with a built-in RF card. The driver and the utility are also built in the firmware. RF networks look and operate similarly to Ethernet networks. The only difference is that a radio transmission replaces the hard-wire connection between the various nodes. This means all of your existing applications that currently operate over Ethernet will also function utilizing WLAN without any special wireless network software. This picture illustrates a typical network topology including the PA966 with RF. Ű 37 Product Reference Guide Setting the RF Communication Installing the Wireless Local Area Network (WLAN) Card 1. Double tap Summit Client Utility. Power off the PA966. Remove the stylus, using the screw driver in the stylus to remove the screw, and then open the PCMCIA compartment. Attach the snap-on antenna to the RF card if required (only the Cisco card comes with a preinstalled antenna). Attach pulling-tag to antenna. PCMCIA card front side Insert the RF card into the PCMCIA slot. RF Card Cushion 2. Under âMainâ tab, for Active Profile, select âThirdPartyConfigâ. Remove the protective backing from the sticky side of the RF Card Cushion and install the Tap âOKâ. cushion along the inside upper edge of the PCMCIA Cover as shown. The RF Card Cushion prevents damage to the RF card antenna in case the PA966 is accidentally dropped. Re-attach cover to the PA966 Setting Up the Wireless Card The PA966 is pre-loaded with connection software from Cisco. The PA966 will automatically detect these RF cards and then display the following screen during the first-time installation.
