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.

Creating a Drawing

1. To create a drawing, cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears. 2. 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.

Recording Formats

Your Pocket PC supports several formats for voice notes. The formats vary in both the quality of the recording and the size of the sound file.

Not all recording formats are compatible with other software or computers. If you will share your recordings with others or transfer a recording to your desktop computer, be sure to choose a recording format that is supported by the software used to play recordings on the other computer. The PCM format offers the highest quality recording and is compatible with all Pocket PC models, other Windows-powered mobile devices and desktop computers that use Windows operating systems.

3 Managing Your Pocket PC
This chapter tells you how to effectively manage power, memory, settings, data and programs of your Pocket PC.

3.1 Managing Power

You must maintain a continuous power supply to your Pocket PC to retain your data, including any information, programs or settings that you added to your Pocket PC. A fully charged battery should provide power for up to 8 hours of use. The operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using the Pocket PC. Some functions, such as using multimedia or operating a SD/MMC card, may consume the battery power considerably.
Low Battery Signals and Actions
CAUTION: Though your Pocket PC can retain data for 72 hours after its battery runs completely out of power, you must constantly charge the battery of your Pocket PC. This can prevent data loss or damage to the battery caused by the batterys being kept in a discharged state for too long. When you recharge the battery upon a warning of low power, you should charge for at least 30 minutes. If you unplug the AC adapter soon, you may not have sufficient battery power for your operation.

CAUTION: Do not shut down or restart your desktop computer while your Pocket PC is connected. Turn off your Pocket PC or disconnect the cable before you shut down your desktop computer.
You can connect your Pocket PC to a desktop computer in several ways: Use the ActiveSync cable or USB cradle (optional) (See step 8 of section 1.4 for information.) Use the IR port in place of using a cable. IR ports can be found on many notebook computers; however, on a desktop computer, you may need to install and configure an IR port. To install the port, follow the manufacturers instructions. (For complete instructions on connecting to your desktop computer by infrared, refer to ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer.) Use a network or dial-up connection. You can synchronize while connected to your desktop computer by a dial-up connection or over a LAN (Local Area Network).

Synchronizing Data

Once you have created a partnership and completed the first synchronization, you can initiate synchronization from your Pocket PC.
To Synchronize from Your Pocket PC

For example, you can synchronize continually while the Pocket PC is connected 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 setting ActiveSync options and using ActiveSync on your desktop computer, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer. For information on using ActiveSync on your Pocket PC, see ActiveSync Help on the Pocket PC.
To Synchronize from a Remote Location
You can also synchronize by dialing in to your desktop computer or connecting over a network. This can be useful if you need to synchronize files or PIM information while traveling. Before you leave, you must configure both your Pocket PC and your desktop computer. On your Pocket PC, you need to create a partnership between your Pocket PC and the desktop computer using one of the direct connection methods (USB
cable or infrared connection). You must also configure a connection on your Pocket PC as described in section 6.1. On your desktop computer, you need to ensure the following: The desktop computer or network server is configured to allow your Pocket PC to connect. Depending on the version of Windows running on the desktop computer, you may need to install and configure Remote Access Services or Dial-Up Networking on the desktop computer. ActiveSync is configured to allow a network connection. For more information, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer. If you are using a modem on your desktop computer, turn the modem on before you leave. Leave your desktop computer on and be sure you logged on under the same user name that you used when you created the partnership. Your PIM program and email program (Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange) should be running correctly.
