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 changing the zoom level to 300 percent using the Tools menu.
Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that the device can easily determine where words begin and end.
Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.

Drawing on the Screen You can draw on the screen the same way that you write on the screen; however, selecting and editing drawings is different than selecting and editing written text. For example, selected drawings can be resized, while written text cannot.
Creating a Drawing
NOTE: To zoom in or out on your drawing, tap Tools and tap a zoom level.
Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears. Subsequent strokes that touch or are inside of the drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings that do not cross three ruled lines are treated as written text.

You can synchronize the information on your computer with the information on your device with ActiveSync. Synchronization compares the data on your device with the data on your computer and updates both with the most recent information. For example:
Keep Microsoft Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device with Microsoft Outlook data on your computer.
Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your device and your computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.
NOTE: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. You can change ActiveSync options to synchronize specific types of information.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
Back up and restore your device data.
NOTICE: If you are upgrading to Pocket PC 2003 from Pocket PC 2002, do not use the Data Backup utility on your device or the Backup/Restore option in ActiveSync to back up your files. You cannot recover your data after you install the upgrade if you do so. Follow the instructions included with the Pocket PC 2003 System Update to back up your data.
Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and your computer.
Select a synchronization mode to control when synchronization occurs. For example, you can synchronize continuously or only when you select 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.

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 Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange on your computer with your device. You can also synchronize this information directly with an Exchange server. Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the changes you made on your device and computer or server and updates both computers with the latest information. For information on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on your computer.

Calendar Use Calendar to schedule appointments, including meetings and other events. You can check your appointments in one of several views (Agenda, Day, Week, Month, and Year) and easily switch views by using the view menu. Tap the today icon to view the current date.

Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages:
Synchronize e-mail messages using Exchange or Outlook on your computer.
Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail server through an ISP or a network.
Synchronizing E-Mail Messages
You can synchronize e-mail messages along with the rest of your data if you enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync. For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on your computer.
NOTE: You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your computer from a remote location. For more information, see "Getting Connected" on page 105.
During synchronization:
Messages are copied from the e-mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your device. By default, you receive:
Messages from the past 3 days
The first 100 lines of each message
File attachments of less than 100 KB in size
E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Exchange or Outlook on your computer, and then sent from those programs.
E-mail messages in subfolders on your computer must be selected in ActiveSync to be transferred.

Connecting Directly to an E-Mail Server
In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your 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 device. You 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 "Getting Connected" on page 105.
When you connect to the e-mail server:
New messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder.
Messages in the device Outbox folder are sent.
Messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the device Inbox folder.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server rather than to your computer. When you delete a message on your device, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect depending on the settings you selected in ActiveSync.
When you are 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 device.
After you have 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 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.
When you receive a message, tap to open it. Unread messages are displayed in bold.

5 Tap Send when you have finished the message.
If you are working offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and sent the next time you connect.
Managing E-Mail Messages and Folders
By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service you have created: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox, or Sent Items. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the device. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends on the options you have selected.To change the options, tap Tools in the message list and tap Options. On the Message tab, select your options.
To create a new folder, tap Tools, and tap Manage Folders. To move a message to another folder, tap and hold the message in the message list and tap Move to on the pop-up menu.
Folder Behavior With a Direct Connection to an E-Mail Server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you use ActiveSync, POP3, or IMAP4.
If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are automatically synchronized with your device. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the messages you move are then mirrored on the server. For example, if you move 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 computer.

the link is broken between the messages on the device and their copies on the e-mail server. The next time you connect, the e-mail server detects that the messages are missing from the device Inbox and deletes them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message. However, you no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the device.
If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you any time you connect to your e-mail server, whether it is from your device or computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to the server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected.
Notifications You can set your device to remind you when you have something to do. For example, if you have set up an appointment in Calendar, a task with a due date in Tasks, or an alarm in Clock, you are notified in one of the following ways:
A message box appears on the screen.
A sound, which you can specify, is played.
A light flashes on your device.
To configure the reminders and sounds for your device:
1 Tap the Start button and tap Settings.
2 On the Personal tab, tap Sounds & Notifications.
Volume tab Adjust the volume and enable sounds.

Regulatory Notices Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free space or conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the functioning of a radio navigation or other safety service or seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio communications service. Radio communications services include but are not limited to AM/FM commercial broadcast, television, cellular services, radar, air-traffic control, pager, and Personal Communication Services (PCS). These licensed services, along with unintentional radiators such as digital devices, including computers, contribute to the electromagnetic environment.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) is the ability of items of electronic equipment to function properly together in the electronic environment. While this computer has been designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory agency limits for EMI, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference with radio communications services, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
Reorient the receiving antenna.
Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver.
Move the computer away from the receiver.
Maximum shock:
operating 200 G
storage 400 G

the receiver are on different branch circuits.
If necessary, consult a Dell Technical Support representative or an experienced radio/television technician for additional suggestions.
Dell computers are designed, tested, and classified for their intended electromagnetic environment. These electromagnetic environment classifications generally refer to the following harmonized definitions:
Class A is typically for business or industrial environments.
Class B is typically for residential environments.
Information Technology Equipment (ITE), including devices, expansion cards, printers, input/output (I/O) devices, monitors, and so on, that are integrated into or connected to the computer should match the electromagnetic environment classification of the computer.
A Notice About Shielded Signal Cables: Use only shielded cables for connecting devices to any Dell device to reduce the possibility of interference with radio communications services. Using shielded cables ensures that you maintain the appropriate EMC classification for the intended environment. For parallel printers, a cable is available from Dell. If you prefer, you can order a cable from Dell on the World Wide Web at accessories.us.dell.com/sna/category.asp?category_id=4117.
Most Dell computers are classified for Class B environments. However, the inclusion of certain options can change the rating of some configurations to Class A. To determine the electromagnetic classification for your computer or device, see the following sections specific for each regulatory agency. Each section provides country-specific EMC/EMI or product safety information.

What do I do if I need warranty service? Before the warranty expires, please call us at the relevant number listed in the following table. Please also have your Dell Service Tag or order number available.
What will Dell do? During the 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other limited warranties: During the 90 days of the 90-day limited warranty and the first year of all other limited warranties, we will repair any Dell-branded hardware products returned to us that prove to be defective in materials or workmanship. If we are not able to repair the product, we will replace it with a comparable product that is new or refurbished.
When you contact us, we will issue a Return Material Authorization Number for you to include with your return. You must return the products to us in their original or equivalent packaging, prepay shipping charges, and insure the shipment or accept the risk if the product is lost or damaged in shipment. We will return the repaired or replacement products to you. We will pay to ship the repaired or replaced products to you if you use an address in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the product to you freight collect.

We are not responsible for any of your confidential, proprietary, or personal information; lost or corrupted data; or damaged or lost removable media.
During the remaining years: For the remaining period of the limited warranty, we will replace any defective part with new or refurbished parts, if we agree that it needs to be replaced. When you contact us, we will require a valid credit card number at the time you request a replacement part, but we will not charge you for the replacement part as long as you return the original part to us within 30 days after we ship the replacement part to you. If we do not receive the original part within 30 days, we will charge to your credit card the then-current standard price for that part.
We will pay to ship the part to you if you use an address in the United States (excluding Puerto Rico and U.S. possessions and territories). Otherwise, we will ship the part freight collect. We will also include a prepaid shipping container with each replacement part for your use in returning the replaced part to us.
NOTE: Before you replace parts, make sure to back up the data on the hard drive(s) and any other storage device(s) in the product(s). We are not responsible for lost or corrupted data.
What if I purchased a service contract? If your service contract is with Dell, service will be provided to you under the terms of the service agreement. Please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain service.
If you purchased through us a service contract with one of our third-party service providers, please refer to that contract for details on how to obtain service.
How will you fix my product? We use new and refurbished parts made by various manufacturers in performing warranty repairs and in building replacement parts and systems. Refurbished parts and systems are parts or systems that have been returned to Dell, some of which were never used by a customer. All parts and systems are inspected and tested for quality. Replacement parts and systems are covered for the remaining period of the limited warranty for the product you bought. Dell owns all parts removed from repaired products.
May I transfer the limited warranty? Limited warranties on systems may be transferred if the current owner transfers ownership of the system and records the transfer with us. The limited warranty on Dell-branded memory may not be transferred. You may record your transfer by going to Dell's website:
