58 Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security
Synchronize Outlook information with Exchange Server
You can set up synchronization with Exchange Server on your device, if it is available to you through your company or wireless service provider. However, you should first gather information, such as Exchange Server name, domain name, your user name, and password, and then carry on with the steps. (For information about how to check the Exchange server name and domain on your PC, see To install and set up ActiveSync on the computer.)
Before changing synchronization settings on your device, disconnect it from your PC.
To synchronize directly with Exchange Server 1. Do one of the following: Tap Start > Messaging, then tap Menu > Tools > New Account. On the E-mail Setup screen, select Outlook E-mail in the Your e-mail provider list, then tap Next. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Configure Server.

Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security 59
Schedule synchronization with Exchange Server
You can schedule information to be synchronized automatically between your device and the Exchange Server, or schedule synchronization at regular time intervals. Choose between these two methods, depending on your e-mail volume and which method you think is more cost-effective. To receive e-mails and synchronize other information instantly The Direct Push technology (Push E-Mail feature) enables you to receive new e-mails on your device as soon as they arrive in your Inbox on the Exchange Server. With this feature, items such as contacts, calendar and tasks are also immediately updated onto your device when these items have been changed or new entries have been added on the Exchange Server. To make Direct Push work, you need to have a GPRS connection on your device. The Direct Push feature works for your device only if it is connected to a private network (corporate network) that is using Microsoft Exchange Server Service Pack 2 (SP2) with Exchange ActiveSync. You need to perform a full synchronization between your device and the Exchange Server first before Direct Push can be enabled. Using Comm Manager 1. On the Today screen, tap the Comm Manager icon ( ). 2. On the Comm Manager screen, tap the Microsoft Direct Push button. The button will turn to , which indicates that you will receive e-mails as they arrive. When the button is in the state, you need to manually retrieve your e-mails. Using ActiveSync 1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Schedule. 2. Select As items arrive in the Peak times and Off-peak times boxes.

60 Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security
When both the GPRS and Wi-Fi connections are turned on at the same time, the Direct Push feature will always opt for GPRS, for which you could be charged per your network operators service plan.
To schedule synchronization at regular time intervals You can set how often to synchronize during Peak times (which usually refer to your working hours) when e-mail volume is high, as well as Offpeak times when e-mail volume is low. 1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Schedule. 2. Select a shorter time interval in the Peak times box for you to be able to receive e-mails more frequently. 3. Select a longer interval in the Off-peak times box.
Tip To set the days and hours that make up your peak and off-peak times, tap Adjust peak times to fit your schedule.

For more information about creating a Bluetooth partnership, see Bluetooth partnerships in Chapter 6.
Notes To preserve battery power, turn off Bluetooth when not in use. To connect and synchronize your device with a computer via Bluetooth, your computer must have a Bluetooth adapter or dongle.
4.4 Synchronizing Music, Video, and Pictures
If you want to carry your music or other digital media along with you while you travel, ActiveSync works with Windows Media Player to synchronize music, video, and pictures with your device. Other than selecting the Media information type in ActiveSync to be synchronized, all media synchronization settings must be set in Windows Media Player. Before media can be synchronized, you must do the following: Install Windows Media Player Version 10 on the PC. (Windows Media Player 10 works only in Windows XP or later versions). Connect your device to the PC with a USB cable. If your device is currently connected using Bluetooth, you must end that connection before media can be synchronized.

5.7 Resetting Your Pocket PC Phone
Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A normal (or soft) reset of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down all active programs. This can be useful when your device is running slower than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft reset is also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft reset is performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be lost. You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed programs will remain. To perform a soft reset Use the stylus to press the RESET button found on the lower left side of your device. Your device restarts and displays the Today screen.

86 Getting Connected

6.1 Connecting to the Internet
Your device is equipped with powerful networking functions that enable you to connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi, GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) or the mobile phone network. Connecting your device to the Internet through a private or free wireless network is your best choice since this will not incur any cost. Take note, however, that using Wi-Fi on your device will drain battery power faster. For more information about setting up a Wi-Fi connection, see Using Wi-Fi later in this chapter. In times when you are not within the coverage of a wireless network, you can either use GPRS or phone dial-up to connect your device to the Internet or your corporate network. Your device has two groups of connection settings: My ISP (Internet Service Provider) and My Work Network. The My ISP settings are used to connect to the Internet, while My Work Network settings can be used to connect to any private, corporate network. To set up a GPRS connection to the Internet GPRS is a non-voice value-added service that allows information to be sent and received across a mobile telephone network. You can use GPRS to connect to the Internet or to send and receive MMS on your device. You will be billed per KB (Kilobyte) by your wireless service provider when you are sending or receiving information via GPRS. If GPRS settings are not preset on your device, obtain the Access point name from your wireless service provider. Also, check with your wireless service provider if a user name and password are required. 1. Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections. 2. Under My ISP, tap Add a new modem connection. 3.
