Chapter 1: Getting Started

Welcome Congratulations on purchasing your Pocket PC Terminal. Its compact size and powerful features and functions let you keep your most important business and personal information up-to-date and close at hand. Microsoft ActiveSync increases the power of your Pocket PC Terminal by allowing you to synchronize the information on your desktop or laptop computer with your Pocket PC Terminal. Picture yourself in the following situations: While walking with a colleague, your cell phone rings and the 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 Terminal and instantly see a list of todays 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.

Typing Using the Input Panel Use the input panel to enter information in any program on your Pocket PC Terminal. You can either type using the soft keyboard or write using Character Recognizer. In either case, the characters appear as typed text on the screen. To show or hide the input panel, tap the Input Panel button. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button to see your choices.

Tap to see your choices.

Select an input method.

Input Panel button

When you use the input panel, your Pocket PC Terminal anticipates the word you are typing or writing and displays it above the input panel. When you tap the displayed word, it is inserted into your text at the insertion point. The more you use your Pocket PC Terminal, the more words it learns to anticipate.

Tap here if this is the right word.

To change word suggestion options, such as the number of words suggested at one time, tap , Settings, Personal tab, Input, and then the Word Completion tab.

To type with the soft keyboard 1. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button and then Keyboard. 2. On the soft keyboard that is displayed, tap the keys with your stylus.

To use Character Recognizer 1. Tap the arrow next to the Input Panel button and then Character Recognizer. 2. Write a letter in the box.

When you write a letter, it is converted to typed text that appears on the screen. For specific instructions on using Character Recognizer, see Appendix A.

13

To select typed text If you want to edit or format typed text, you must select it first. Drag the stylus across the text you want to select.

You can cut, copy, and paste text by tapping and holding the selected words and then tapping an editing command on the pop-up menu, or by tapping the command on the Edit menu.

Writing on the Screen In any program that accepts writing, such as the Notes program and the Notes tab in Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks, you can use your stylus to write directly on the screen. Write the way you do on paper. You can edit and format what youve written and convert the information to text at a later time.

To write on the screen Tap the Pen button to switch to writing mode. This action displays lines on the screen to help you write.

Tap the Pen button and use your stylus like a pen.

Some programs that accept writing may not have the Pen button. See the documentation for that program to find out how to switch to writing mode.

To select writing If you want to edit or format writing, you must select it first. 1. Tap and hold the stylus next to the text you want to select until the insertion point appears. 2. Without lifting, drag the stylus across the text you want to select.

If you accidentally write on the screen, tap Edit and then Undo and try again. You can also select text by tapping the Pen button to deselect it and then dragging the stylus across the screen. You can cut, copy, and paste written text in the same way you work with typed text: tap and hold the selected words and then tap an editing command on the pop-up menu, or tap the command on the Edit menu.

14

To convert writing to text Tap Tools and then Recognize. If you want to convert only certain words, select them before tapping Recognize on the Tools menu (or tap and hold the selected words and then tap Recognize on the pop-up menu). If a word is not recognized, it is left as writing.

Select the text you want to convert and tap Recognize on the pop-up menu.

The writing is turned into text.

If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of alternates or return to the original writing. To do so, tap and hold the incorrect word (tap one word at a time). On the pop-up menu, tap Alternates. 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.

Or, tap the word you want to use.

Tap to return to your original writing.

15

Tips for getting good recognition Write neatly. 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.

For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Tools menu. Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that the Pocket PC

Terminal can easily tell where words begin and end. Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some

punctuation cannot be converted. 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.

To create a drawing Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears. 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.

The drawing box indicates the boundaries of the drawing.

Pen button

You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily work on or view your drawing. Tap Tools and then a zoom level.

16

To select a drawing If you want to edit or format a drawing, you must select it first. Tap and hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection handle appears. To select multiple

drawings, deselect the Pen button and then drag to select the drawings you want.

You can cut, copy, and paste selected drawings by tapping and holding the selected drawing and then tapping an editing command on the pop-up menu, or by tapping the command on the Edit menu. To resize a drawing, make sure the Pen button is not selected and drag a selection handle.

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 Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts, you can include a recording in the Notes tab. 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.

To create a recording 1. Hold your Pocket PC Terminals microphone near your mouth or other source of sound. 2. Press and hold the Record hardware button on your Pocket PC Terminal until you hear a beep. 3. While holding down the Record button, make your recording. 4.

Adding or Removing Programs Programs added to your Pocket PC Terminal at the factory are stored in ROM (read-only memory). You cannot remove or modify this software, and youll never accidentally lose ROM contents. Programs and data files added to your Pocket PC Terminal after factory installation are stored in RAM (random access memory). You can install any program created for your Pocket PC Terminal, as long as your Pocket PC Terminal has enough memory. The most popular place to find software for your Pocket PC Terminal is on the World Wide Web.

To add programs Youll need to install the appropriate software for your Pocket PC Terminal on your desktop computer before installing it on your Pocket PC Terminal. 1. Determine your Pocket PC Terminal and processor type so that you know which version of the

software to install. Tap and then Settings. On the System tab, tap About. Tap the Version tab, and make a note of the information in Processor.

2. Download the program to your desktop computer (or insert the CD or disk that contains the program into your desktop computer). You may see a single *.exe file, a *.zip file, a Setup.exe file, or several versions of files for different Pocket PC types and processors. Be sure to select the program designed for the Pocket PC Terminal and your Pocket PC Terminal processor type.

3. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that comes with the program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.

4. Connect your Pocket PC Terminal and desktop computer. 5. Double-click the *.exe file. If the file is an installer, the installation wizard will begin. Follow the directions on the screen.

Once the software has been installed on your desktop computer, the installer will automatically transfer the software to your Pocket PC Terminal.

If the file is not an installer, you will see an error message stating that the program is valid but it is designed for a different type of computer. You will need to move this file to your Pocket PC Terminal. If you cannot find any installation instructions for the program in the Read Me file or documentation, use ActiveSync Explorer to copy the program file to the Program Files folder on your Pocket PC Terminal. For more information on copying files using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help.

Once installation is complete, tap , Programs, and then the program icon to switch to it.

19

To add a program to the Start menu Tap , Settings, Menus, the Start Menu tab, and then the check box for the program. If you do not see the program listed, you can either use File Explorer on the Pocket PC Terminal to move the program to the Start Menu folder or use ActiveSync on the desktop computer to create a shortcut to the program and place the shortcut in the Start Menu folder.

Using File Explorer on the Pocket PC Terminal Tap , Programs, File Explorer, and locate the program (tap the folder list, labeled My Documents by default, and then My Device to see a list of all folders on the Pocket PC Terminal). Tap and hold the program and tap Cut on the pop-up menu. Open the Start Menu folder located in the Windows folder, tap and hold a blank area of the window, and tap Paste on the pop-up menu. The program will now appear on the menu. For more information on using File Explorer, see Find and Organize Information earlier in this chapter.

Using ActiveSync on the desktop computer Use the Explorer in ActiveSync to explore your Pocket PC Terminal files and locate the program. Right-click the program, and then click Create Shortcut. Move the shortcut to the Start Menu folder in the Windows folder. The shortcut now appears on the menu. For more information, see ActiveSync Help.

To remove programs Tap and then Settings. On the System tab, tap Remove Programs. If the program does not appear in the list of installed programs, use File Explorer on your Pocket PC Terminal to locate the program, tap and hold the program, and then tap Delete on the pop-up menu.

20

Chapter 3: Microsoft ActiveSync Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your desktop computer with the information on your Pocket PC Terminal. Synchronization compares the data on your Pocket PC Terminal with your desktop computer and updates both computers with the most recent information. For example: Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your Pocket PC Terminal with your

choice of Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Schedule+, or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop computer.

Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel documents between your Pocket PC Terminal and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.

By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information, for example, e-mail messages. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for specific information types.

With ActiveSync, you can also: Back up and restore your Pocket PC Terminal data. Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your Pocket PC Terminal and desktop computer. Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you

can synchronize continually while the Pocket PC Terminal is connected to your desktop computer (using a cable), or only when you choose the synchronize command.

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.

For information on installing ActiveSync, see the documentation accompanying the ActiveSync CD. For information on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.

21

Chapter 4: Microsoft Pocket Outlook Microsoft Pocket Outlook includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Inbox, and Notes. You can use these programs individually or together. For example, e-mail addresses stored in Contacts can be used to address e-mail messages in Inbox. Using ActiveSync, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook, Microsoft Schedule+, or Microsoft Exchange on your desktop computer with your Pocket PC Terminal. Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the changes you made on your Pocket PC Terminal and desktop computer and updates both computers with the latest information. For information on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer. You can switch to any of these programs by tapping them on the menu.

Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail Messages

Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in either of these ways: Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook on your desktop

computer. Send 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. First, youll need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync options. For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.

During synchronization: E-mail messages are copied from the Inbox folder of Exchange or Outlook on your desktop

computer to the Inbox folder on your Pocket PC Terminal. The e-mail messages on the two computers are linked, so when you delete an e-mail message on your Pocket PC Terminal, its also deleted from your desktop computer the next time you synchronize.

E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC Terminal are transferred to Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those programs.

You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your desktop computer from a remote location. For more information, see Chapter 7.

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 Pocket PC Terminal. Youll 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 Chapter 7. When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the Pocket PC Inbox folder, messages in the Pocket PC Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the Pocket PC Inbox. 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 message on your Pocket PC Terminal, its also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect. You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your Pocket PC Terminal. When working offline, once youve downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete messages youve marked for retrieval and sends the messages youve composed.

29

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.

Tap to connect and to send and receive e-mail.

Tap to connect to the selected service.

Select the sort order from messages.

Tap and hold to display a pop-up menu of actions.

Tap to open a message.

When you receive a message, tap it in the list to open it. Unread messages are displayed in bold.

Tap to view the previous or next message.

Tap to replay to or forward this message.

Tap to return to the message list.

Tap to delete this message.

Tap to show or hide the complete header.

30

When you connect to your e-mail server or synchronize with your desktop computer, Inbox downloads only the first 100 lines of each new message by default. No e-mail attachments are downloaded. The original messages remain on the e-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 e-mail server. In the message list, tap and hold the message you want to retrieve. On the pop-up menu, tap Get Full Copy. The icons in the Inbox message list give you visual indications of message status. Youll need to download a full message before you can view its attachments. Attachments appear as icons in a window pane at the bottom of the message. Tapping an attachment icon opens the attachment if it has been fully downloaded or marks it for download the next time you synchronize or connect to your e-mail server. You specify your downloading preferences when you set up the service or select your synchronization options. You can change them at any time. Change options for Inbox synchronization using ActiveSync options. For more information, see

ActiveSync Help. Change options for direct e-mail server connections in Inbox on your Pocket PC Terminal. Tap

Tools and then tap Options. On the Service tab, tap the service you want to change.

Composing E-mail Messages

To compose an e-mail message 1. Tap New. 2. Enter an e-mail address in To, or select a name from the contact list by tapping the Address

Book button.

All e-mail addresses entered in the e-mail fields in Contacts appear in the Address Book.

Tap to check names in the To, Cc, and Bcc boxes with names in Contacts and/or an online address book.

Tap to attach a file.

Tap to display the Address Book.

Tap to show or hide the complete header.

Tap to send the message.

31

3. Compose your message. 4. Tap Send when youve finished the message. The message is placed in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC Terminal and will be delivered in one of two ways. They are transferred to the Outbox folder in Exchange or Outlook on your desktop computer

and sent the next time you synchronize. They are transferred to your e-mail server the next time you connect. In Inbox, make sure the

appropriate service is selected on the Services menu. Then tap the Connect button (or Connect on the Services menu).

Managing E-mail Messages and Folders By default, messages are displayed in one of four folders for each service youve created: Inbox, Deleted (local), Outbox, and Sent. The Deleted folder contains messages that have been deleted on the Pocket PC Terminal. If you are using IMAP4, you may see a Deleted Items folder. This folder is for messages deleted on the e-mail server. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent folders depends on the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap Tools and then Options. On the Message tab, select your options. If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools, and then New Folder to create new folders. To move or copy a message to another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message and then tap Move to or Copy to on the pop-up menu.

Folder behavior with ActiveSync If you move e-mail messages into a folder you create, the link is broken between these e-mail messages and their copies on the desktop computer. When you synchronize next, the e-mail messages in the folder you created will not be synchronized. In addition, e-mail messages that are missing from the Pocket PC Inbox folder will be deleted from the Inbox folder on the desktop computer so that both Inbox folders match. This prevents you from getting duplicate copies of an e-mail message, but it also means that you will no longer have access to the e-mail messages you move out of Inbox except from the Pocket PC Terminal.

Folder behavior with a direct connection to an e-mail server The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using POP3 or IMAP4. If you are using POP3, folders will behave like they do when using ActiveSync. If you are using IMAP4, the folders you create and the messages you move are mirrored on the e- mail server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder called Family, the e-mail server will create a copy of the Family folder and move the messages into that folder. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your e-mail server, whether it is from your Pocket PC Terminal, laptop computer, or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs when you create a new folder, move e-mail messages into a folder, or tap Synchronize Folders on the Services menu. If you want to view the messages in a folder while disconnected from your e-mail server, select the folder and then tap Folder Available Offline on the Services menu. This downloads the e-mail message in the folder to your Pocket PC Terminal.

Appendix A: Character Recognizer Using Character Recognizer, you can write characters directly on your Pocket PC Terminal screen with your stylus, just as you would on a piece of paper. The characters you write are translated into typed text. Use Character Recognizer anywhere you want to enter text, for example, to write a note or to fill in fields in a dialog box. The default writing mode for Character Recognizer is lowercase (Jot-compatible) mode. In this mode, you write characters in lowercase. The chart at the end of this appendix contains examples of how to write characters in lowercase mode. You can also choose to write in uppercase (Graffiti- compatible) mode. In this mode, you write characters in uppercase. If you prefer to write in uppercase mode, tap Uppercase Mode in Options on the input method menu. Whether a letter appears in uppercase or lowercase when it is converted to typed text depends on where in the input panel you write it, not on the mode you have selected. The Character Recognizer input panel is divided into three writing areas. Letters written in the left area (labeled ABC) creates uppercase letters, and letters written in the middle area (labeled abc) creates lowercase letters. Use the right area (labeled 123) for writing numbers, symbols, special characters, and punctuation.

The letter you write is converted to typed text that appears on the screen.

Tap to show or hide the input panel.

Tap to select an input method or change options.

The following chart is a partial display of the characters you can write while in lowercase mode (the dot on each character is the starting point for writing). Remember that even though you write a letter in its lowercase form, the case of the text that is displayed depends on where you write the letter. For example, if you write a lowercase a in the ABC area, an uppercase A is displayed on the screen.
