See "Adding Programs Using Microsoft ActiveSync" on page 107 for more information. Synchronize data on your device with data on your computer. ActiveSync Help on your computer ActiveSync Help on your device
For information on synchronizing your data, see the following resources:

Using the Cradle

NOTE: Depending on the configuration of your device, the cradle is optional. You can use the cradle to: Synchronize the data on your device with the data on your computer. Connect the device to an electrical outlet to conserve battery power. Charge the main battery. See "Using the Battery" on page 42 for more information. Charge a spare battery. Please note that the spare battery is optional. NOTE: Before connecting your device to a computer for the first time, install ActiveSync on the computer using the Dell Getting Started CD. To connect your device to the cradle: 1 Connect the AC adapter to the cradle and to an electrical outlet. 2 Place the Axim in the docking cradle near your computer. 3 Connect the USB sync cable to the cradle and the computer.

Confirming Backup

Confirm that all the data you want is backed up on your host computer. Any data not backed up before you upgrade to Windows Mobile Version 5.0 for Pocket PC Premium Edition is lost. Check the following items: E-mail inbox in Outlook Calendar entries in Outlook Contacts in Outlook Task entries in Outlook Notes in Outlook Favorites Files that have been synchronized and placed automatically in the Pocket_PC My Documents folder Files that have been manually dragged to the Other Axim Files folder on your host computer Previous ROM dragged to the Other Axim Files folder
You have several options for entering information: Use the input panel to enter typed text using the soft keyboard or another input method. Write directly on the screen using the stylus. Draw pictures on the screen with the stylus. Speak into your device microphone to record a message.
Use Microsoft ActiveSync to synchronize or copy information from your computer to your device. For more information, see ActiveSync Help on your computer. NOTE: Some of the functions mentioned in this section may not be supported by the operating system in some languages.
Entering Text Using the Input Panel
Use the input panel to enter information into any program on your device. You can type using the soft keyboard or write with the stylus using Letter Recognizer, Block Recognizer, or Transcriber. The characters appear as typed text on the screen.

input panel icon

To show or hide the input panel, tap the input panel icon. Tap the arrow next to the input panel icon to change the input method. When you use the input panel, your device anticipates the word you are typing or writing and displays it above the input panel. When you tap the displayed word, the word is inserted at the insertion point. The more you use your device, the more words it learns to anticipate.

suggested words

To change word suggestion options, for example, the number of words suggested: 1 Tap Start Settings Personal Input. 2 Tap the Word Completion tab. 3 Select the desired settings and tap OK.
Typing With the Soft Keyboard
1 Tap the input selection arrow and tap Keyboard. 2 Tap the keys on the soft keyboard with your stylus.

Letter Recognizer

Letter Recognizer allows you to use your stylus to write letters on the screen as you would write them on paper. NOTE: Letter Recognizer is included with the English, French, German, Italian, and Spanish operating systems. Other versions do not support Letter Recognizer. 1 Tap the input selection arrow and tap Letter Recognizer. 2 Write characters, numbers, and symbols in the designated writing area. Enter capital letters by writing in the ABC (left) area of the box. Enter lower case letters by writing in the abc (middle) area of the box. Enter numbers by writing in the 123 (right) area of the box. Enter punctuation and symbols by tapping in any area of the box and then writing the desired character.

If you want to convert only certain words, select them before tapping Recognize (or tap and hold the selected words and then tap Recognize on the pop-up menu). If a word is not recognized, it is not converted to print-style text. If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of alternatives or return to the original written text: 1 Tap and hold the incorrect word. 2 On the pop-up menu, tap Alternates. A menu with a list of alternative words appears. 3 Tap the correct word, or tap the written text at the top of the menu to return to the original written text.

alternate words

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 by tapping Menu Zoom. 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. You cannot convert hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation. You cannot add written text to a word to change it after the word has been recognized. You must delete the written word and write the new word.
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 Menu Zoom 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.

drawing box

Editing a Drawing
To edit or format a drawing, you must first select it: 1 Tap and hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection handles appear. To select multiple drawings, drag to select the drawings. 2 You can cut, copy, and paste selected drawings by tapping and holding the selected drawings and then tapping an editing command on the pop-up menu. You can also tap Menu Edit at the bottom of the screen to select editing commands. To resize a drawing, drag a selection handle.
