FCC INFORMATION TO THE USER  
RADIO AND TELEVISION INTERFERENCE  
This equipment radiates radio frequency energy and if not used properly—that is,  
in strict accordance with the instructions in this manual—may cause interference to  
radio communications and television reception. It has been tested and found to com-  
ply with the limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.  
Operation is subject to the following two conditions:  
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and  
2. This device must accept any interference received, including interfer-  
ence that may cause undesired operation.  
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interfer-  
ence in a residential installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference  
will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful inter-  
ference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the  
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one  
or more of the following measures:  
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
Increase the separation distance between the equipment and the receiver.  
If you are using the equipment with a mains adaptor, plug it into an outlet  
which is on a different circuit from that to which the receiver is connected.  
Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

Approvals And Safety Summary  
For customers in the USA, the following booklet prepared by the Federal Commu-  
nications Commission may be of help: “How to Identify and Resolve Radio-TV  
Interference Problems”. This booklet is available from the US Government Printing  
Office, Washington, DC 20402 - Stock No 004-000-00345-4.  
RADIO FREQUENCY EMISSIONS  
Do not use in aircraft or hospitals. Some equipment in hospitals and aircraft are not  
shielded from radio frequency energy. Do not use the netpad onboard aircraft, or in  
hospitals, without first obtaining permission.  
Do not use near pacemakers. The product may affect the operation of some medi-  
cally implanted devices such as pacemakers, causing them to malfunction. Avoid  
placing your product next to such devices. Keep a minimum distance of 15 cm  
between the device and the product to reduce the risk of interference. If you have  
any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off the netpad and con-  
tact your cardiologist for assistance.  
Note: In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the  
US adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio fre-  
quency energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. The design of this  
product complies with the FCC guidelines and those standards.  
To maintain compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines, if you  
wear the netpad on your body, use the supplied or approved carrying  
case, holster, or other body-worn accessory (see page 13 for details). If  
you do not use a body-worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least 1.5  
cm from your body when transmitting. Use of non-approved accessories  
may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.  
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS  
This equipment was tested for FCC compliance under conditions that included the  
use of shielded cables and connectors between it and the peripherals. It is important  
that you use shielded cable and connectors to reduce the possibility of causing radio  
and television interference. Shielded cables, suitable for the netpad, can be obtained  
from an authorised Psion Teklogix dealer.  
If the user modifies the equipment or its peripherals in any way, and these modifica-  
tions are not approved by Psion Teklogix, the FCC may withdraw the user’s right to  
operate the equipment.

1.4 Caring For The netpad  
Screen  
When used with the approved stylus, the netpad screen is very resistant to wear and  
impact and should last for a considerable time. Use of any object, other than the  
approved stylus, may result in damage to the netpad screen.  
To maintain the life of the netpad screen, keep the screen clean. To clean the screen:  
switch off the netpad and use a soft, clean, dry cloth to gently wipe the screen. (If the  
netpad is set to turn on automatically when the screen is tapped, you should turn this  
preference off before cleaning the screen.)  
Warning:  
Under no circumstances use chemical solvents to clean the screen.  
Charging  
To avoid damage to the netpad or the netpad battery packs, use only Psion Teklogix  
approved chargers and docking stations.  
Backup Battery  
The netpad has a rechargeable backup battery designed to retain data while the main  
battery pack is charging or changed over.  
The backup battery is trickle charged from the main battery pack and has a limited  
lifespan. To maximize the life of the backup battery, avoid excessive discharging and  
recharging of the backup battery by keeping the netpad battery pack fully charged.  
Important: It both the main battery pack and the backup battery are allowed  
to fully discharge, all user data held in RAM will be lost.

(-4°F to 140°F); and -20°C to +55°C (-4°F to 131°F) for scanner variants. Use of the  
netpad outside of these temperature limits may reduce its life.  
Avoid exposing the netpad to sudden changes in temperature, since such exposure  
may result in damage.  
Important: As a safety precaution, charging the netpad battery should be  
limited to the temperature range: -20°C to +60°C (-4°F to 140°F);  
and -20°C to +55°C (-4°F to 131°F) for scanner variants. Outside  
of these limits, the safety circuits of the netpad battery pack will  
not allow the battery to charge.  
Storage Temperature  
The netpad is designed to be stored within the temperature ranges of -25°C to +70°C  
(-13°F to 158°F); and -25°C to +60°C (-13°F to 140°F) for scanner variants. Storage  
of the netpad outside of these temperature limits may reduce its life.  
To prolong the life of the netpad battery packs during normal storage, store the  
netpad (and the battery pack) between +10°C and +35°C (+50°F and +95°F).

Power Management  
2.2.3 Power Management  
The netpad is powered by a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery pack, which under  
optimal operating conditions will provide power for a full shift. The netpad will  
warn you when the main battery charge is low.  
Note: How long your batteries last will depend upon how you use your netpad.  
The netpad will use considerably more battery power when you are  
recording sounds, have the brightness turned up, are using files stored on  
a multimedia card, or are using Infrared.  
You can take steps to help prolong your batterys life:  
Turn the screen brightness down.  
Set automatic switch-off in the Power control panel.  
Use files on the internal disk instead of an MMC, as the netpad requires  
more power to write to the multimedia card.  
The netpad can be powered from AC when used in the docking station (see page 31).  
When the netpad is powered from the docking station, it will also charge the  
battery pack.  
2.2.3.1 Fitting The Battery  
Before you can use the netpad you must fit the battery—slide it into place until it  
clicks, as shown in Figure 2.7.  
Important: Always switch off the netpad before removing the main battery.

Power Management  
Important: Take care when replacing batteries!  
The netpad will warn you when its main battery is getting low, in  
plenty of time to change/charge it. The backup battery is designed  
to maintain the memory for several hours. However, prolonged reli-  
ance on the backup battery does reduce its life.  
2.2.3.2 Charging The netpad Battery Pack  
To charge the battery, attach the battery pack to the netpad and place the complete  
netpad in a netpad docking station (for instructions, please refer to page 31), or place  
the battery in one of the optional battery chargers. The standard (850 mAH) netpad  
battery will normally be fully charged within 2 to 2.5 hours (3 hours for a 1400  
mAH battery pack).  
2.2.3.3 How Do I Check The Battery Power?  
To check the battery power, open the Battery icon from the Control Panel. The  
Battery tab gives a brief description of the state of the main battery.  
2.2.3.4 Changing Battery Packs  
If you are using your netpad away from the charger and a spare battery pack is avail-  
able, you can change batteries when the battery warning is displayed. To do this:  
1. Switch the netpad off.  
2. Press on the battery pack latch to remove it.  
3. Push in the replacement battery pack.

Multimedia Cards  
2.2.3.5 Prolonging Battery Life  
When your netpad is switched off, it is on “standby” and will continue to use a small  
amount of battery power. If you are going to leave your netpad switched off for a  
long period of time, you are advised to back up your data beforehand because the  
batteries will eventually run out.  
Note: To check the battery power, open the Power icon from the Control Panel.  
2.2.3.6 Internal Backup Battery  
The netpad has a rechargeable backup battery designed to retain data while the main  
battery pack is charging or changed over. The backup battery is trickle charged from  
the main battery pack and has a limited lifespan. To maximize the life of the backup  
battery, avoid excessive discharging and recharging of the backup battery by  
keeping the netpad battery pack fully charged.  
Important: If both the main battery pack and the backup battery are allowed  
to fully discharge, all user data held in RAM will be lost.  
The backup battery is not user replaceable. If the backup battery requires replace-  
ment, the netpad must be returned to a Psion Teklogix approved service centre.  
Important: If both the batteries run out of power you will lose all your infor-  
mation on the internal disk.  
2.2.4 Multimedia Cards  
Multimedia cards (MMCs) are non-volatile memory cards, which fit into a dedi-  
cated slot in the netpad and can be used to store application software and/or data.

2.3 Turning On And Off  
To switch on:  
press the On/Off button on the top.  
Note: If the serial cable is connected to the PC and the netpad, the netpad will  
automatically switch on when ActiveSync on the PC is searching for a  
connection.  
To switch off:  
press the On/Off button to turn off the display. Press and hold to suspend the  
netpad. You can switch off at any time. You do not have to save your informa-  
tion first, as it is automatically saved for you. If you are working with a file on  
the MMC, save the file before switching off the netpad and removing the card.  
Note: If you do not use the netpad, it will automatically switch off after a few  
minutes to save battery power. To continue using the netpad where you left  
off, switch the netpad on again using the On/Off button. The power saving  
options are available via the Control Panel. The automatic switch-off time  
may have different settings, depending on whether the netpad is in the  
docking station or not. The automatic switch-off can also be configured to  
suspend or turn off the display.  
2.4 Finding And Using The Stylus  
The stylus is located in a holder at the right. To remove it, slide the stylus out of the  
top of the netpad. To replace it, push it back in. Tap lightly on the screen using the  
stylus. You can use your fingers to tap on the screen, though it is best to use the  
stylus to avoid fingerprints or smudges on the screen. Do not tap the screen with any  
object that has a sharp tip or you may damage the screen. Don’t use any type of ink  
pen, as the ink may be impossible to remove. See “Caring For The netpad” on  
page 5 for instructions on how to clean the screen.  
You can usually tap on (“click on”) an item with the stylus to select or change it. For  
example, you can:  
Double-tap (or click) a program icon, to open a program.  
Single-tap (or click) the soft keys, for “shortcuts” to system functions.  
Tap-and-hold to right-click. Right-clicking can interrupt the functionality of  
other tap-and-hold items, such as scrollbars.  
Note: If the screen doesnt respond to your taps, you may need to re-calibrate it.  
You can do this by holding down the On/Off button for 3 seconds.

If you find that you cannot exit a program normally, right-click on the taskbar and  
select Task Manager from the context menu. Select the task that appears to be unre-  
sponsive and click on the End Task button.  
If this does not work, or if your netpad appears to have “locked up”, you can always  
perform a “soft reset”. This should restart your netpad while preserving most of  
your information. It is worth trying a soft reset if the keys on the netpad do not  
appear to respond, or if the netpad appears to switch on and you are sure that the bat-  
teries are good, but the screen is otherwise blank.

Reset Button  
Figure 2.12 Reset Button Location  
Press the On/Off button to restart the netpad—you will hear two beeps during boot-  
up to indicate the reset. After a soft reset, any changes to open files will be lost. Your  
other files on the internal disk will almost always be safe. It is possible (although  
unlikely) that performing a soft reset after a program failure may cause the netpad to  
lose the information on the internal disk; it could even prevent the reset from  
working at all. If this happens, you will have to perform a “hard reset”.  
Important: A hard reset resets the netpad completely, and all information on  
the internal disk will be lost.  
To perform a hard reset:  
1. Remove the netpad from the docking station (if applicable).  
2. Remove the main battery.  
3. Press and hold down the On/Off button (on the top of the unit).  
4. While continuing to hold down the On/Off button, press and release the  
Reset button.  
5. Release the On/Off button.  
6. Refit the battery into the netpad—the unit will power up and you will hear  
one beep during boot-up.  
Note: Hard resetting the netpad will delete the partnership on the netpad. You  
may delete and re-create the partnership on the PC, or create another  
partnership with a new name. Refer to ActiveSyncs online help for more  
details on this operation.

2.8.5 Using Menus  
You can usually select a menu command to perform tasks.  
Click on the menu you want to access from the menu bar.  
Tap on the menu names and commands, or use the arrow keys to move  
around the menus. Tap on commands marked with a  
or press the right  
arrow key to see further commands.  
A menu command with three dots at the end means that selecting the command will  
display a “dialogue” where you enter more information (see “Using Dialogues”,  
below).  
If a menu command is grey, it means that it’s not currently available; e.g. you cannot  
Copy unless you have first selected something to copy.  
2.8.6 Using Dialogues  
A “dialogue” appears when you need to make selections and enter further informa-  
tion. You can move between dialogue items by tapping on them, or using the up and  
down arrow keys. Dialogues contain one or more of the following elements:  
Textbox:  
where you just type in your information. When you tap in the textbox, you will  
need to open the on-screen keyboard to enter text.  
Dropdown:  
where you select from a number of options. You will see left and right arrows  
around the current selection; you can change the selection by tapping on the  
arrows, by pressing the left and right arrow keys, or by typing the first letter of  
the option you want.  
Checkbox:  
where you make a choice between selecting an option or not selecting it. Just  
tap on the checkbox, or press the left and right arrow keys to add or remove  
a checkmark.  
Radio buttons:  
where you make one choice from a number of options. Just tap on an option, or  
use the left and right arrow keys to make a selection.  
If an item is grey, it is currently not available. For example, if you do not have a  
transflective display, the Backlight On checkbox in Backlight Properties will be  
greyed out.

2.8.6.1 Dialogue Buttons  
Dialogues usually include standard buttons such as Ok and X. Some buttons have a  
standard keypress equivalent:  
Usually, you can tap the OK button or press the Enter key if you want to  
save information and remove the dialogue.  
Tap the Cancel button, the X button, or press the Esc key if you want to  
close the dialogue without saving the information.  
For dialogues that ask a question, you can tap the Yes button or press the Y  
key for ‘yes’; tap the No button, press the N key, or press the Esc key for ‘no’.  
2.8.7 Copying Information Between Programs  
You can insert information created in one program into a different program.  
For example, you may want to compose text in Wordpad before copying it into  
an e-mail message in the Inbox. If you try to insert an object into a program that is  
not designed to handle that type of object, you will be unable to Paste. Trying to  
copy a file from Windows Explorer into a Wordpad document will not work because  
Wordpad will keep the Paste option greyed out until it detects that text is ready to  
be pasted.

Things To Do First  
4.1 Things To Do First  
This section describes what you may need to do to set up your netpad:  
Customize the screen rotation of the netpad.  
Enter owner information in the Owner control panel, so that your netpad  
can be returned if you lose it.  
Set a password for your machine, so that other people cannot access

Screen rotation on the netpad is accessed from the Rotate icon  
found on the  
Windows taskbar. To rotate the screen, click on the Rotate icon. It will rotate the  
screen in 90° increments.  
Rotation is not fully supported by some programs. For instance, Windows Explorer  
should be closed and re-opened after rotation, otherwise the scroll bars will not  
redraw correctly.  
In auto-hide mode, the taskbar may not be properly displayed after rotation. Menus  
on icons in the system tray should not be activated before the screen is rotated.  
Menus should be closed before rotation.  
Warning:  
Some applications do not support screen rotation and rotating the  
screen may cause some programs to become difficult to use.  
Some programs, such as Control Panel, may not support rotation  
at all.

Things To Do Next  
4.2 Things To Do Next  
This section gives a brief overview of what else you may want to do when you first  
use your netpad.  
4.2.1 Setting Up ActiveSync  
ActiveSync allows you to connect the netpad to a PC serially, or through Infrared or  
radio communication. File transfers, file synchronization and sending e-mail can all  
be done via ActiveSync.  
ActiveSync must be connected serially at least once before other connection types  
are possible. To use ActiveSync with the netpad:  
ActiveSync 3.5 should be installed on your PC.  
Attach the netpad ActiveSync serial cable to the communications port on  
your computer (usually COM1).  
Attach the other end of the serial cable to the netpad port labelled RS-232.  
On the netpad, go into the Control Panel and open PC Connection. Verify  
that the checkbox is checked and that the unit will connect using Serial  
Port 3.  
On the PC, configure the Connection Settings in ActiveSync to use the  
communications port to which you have attached the serial cable. The  
ActiveSync icon in the system tray should be green and the arrows should  
be rotating, indicating the PC is trying to establish a connection.  
On the netpad, click on the Start button, then Programs, then ActiveSync,  
and select direct from the ActiveSync menu. This should bring up a dia-  
logue box indicating that the netpad is attempting to connect.  
A successful connection will be indicated by a blue icon in the netpad’s  
system tray. The netpad and the PC will also play sounds to indicate that  
they are connected, if sound is enabled on the devices.

4.2.1.1 Partnerships  
There are two types of connection provided for by ActiveSync:  
1. Guest - A guest connection allows file transfers. No synchronization is  
performed. If the netpad is password protected, the password prompt  
will appear when connecting as guest.  
2. Partnership - A partnership connection allows for synchronization of  
files, e-mail and other data. If the netpad is password protected, a pass-  
word prompt will appear before allowing synchronization. It is neces-  
sary to establish a partnership before trying to connect to ActiveSync  
via Infrared (IrDA) or Ethernet.

Creating New Files  
5.5.1 Creating New Files  
You can create files from within programs. As a general rule, open the program in which  
you want to create the file, and select New from the File menu. A file name is suggested.  
If you do not wish to use this, type a name of your own before pressing the OK button.  
What names can I use for my files & folders?  
You can use most characters in file and folder names including spaces, for example,  
“1997 Purchase Orders and Invoices”. The only characters which cannot be used in  
a file or folder name are: / < > : \ * ?  
You may encounter difficulties if you use very long file names for files stored in  
folders with long names, which are nested within other folders with long names, and  
so on. If you do exceed the maximum allowed length, rename a folder or file to a  
shorter name.  
5.6 Start Menu - Documents  
A quick way to find a file that has been recently used is to look in the Documents  
menu on the Start menu. The Documents menu will list up to ten of the most recent  
files opened.  
5.7 Changing File Attributes  
You can prevent a file from being accidentally changed by making it a “read-only”  
file. To do this, right-click on the file and select Properties from the context menu.  
Then check the Read-only box.  
Files that have been created on a PC and then transferred to the netpad will also be  
“read-only” files.  
Note: If you transfer a “read-only” file to another machine, it can be viewed,  
and the “read-only” attribute can be removed.

When the memory is nearly full, you will see warning dialogues when running pro-  
grams to indicate that the netpad’s memory is almost full, and there is not enough  
memory to perform some tasks.  
Many actions need just a little free memory in order to work—displaying dialogues,  
menus, etc. These can fail with a message like ‘Memory full’. The netpad will not  
allow you to use all of the available memory; it will always set aside enough  
memory for you to close a program or save an open file to a multimedia card.  
Files saved on the internal disk and “open” programs both use memory. So, if the  
memory is nearly full you should be able to free some memory by closing some pro-  
grams. You can look at the taskbar to see which programs are running, and then  
close the programs or files that you do not need open.  
You can also delete any unwanted files, or move files to a multimedia card or your  
PC to free more memory.

Additional Memory And Programs  
5.9.2 Additional Memory And Programs  
You can insert multimedia cards into the MMC slot on the right-hand side of the  
netpad. You might use them as additional memory for storing files, or to add more  
programs to the netpad. For details, please refer to “Multimedia Cards” on page 16.  
If a multimedia card contains additional programs:  
their icons will be available in the Storage Card folder.  
To delete all the files on a multimedia card:  
put it into the MMC slot. Open the Storage icon from the Control Panel. Select  
the partition to format (usually Part00) and then select the Properties button.  
You will see a Format button along with such buttons as Mount and Dismount.

Chapter 6: Connecting netpad To A PC  
Introduction  
6.1 Introduction  
This chapter explains how to use ActiveSync to copy files between a PC and netpad,  
and how to synchronize items such as Calender, Contacts, Inbox and Tasks files. It  
assumes some basic knowledge of Windows PC operating systems.  
These instructions assume that you have established a link between your PC and  
netpad. See “Setting Up ActiveSync” on page 37 for details on communication  
links.  
Check that a link exists between the netpad and the PC by looking in the  
PC’s System tray in the bottom right-hand corner of your desktop. There  
should be a green circle in the system tray if you have successfully linked,  
as shown.  
If this circle is grey there is no connection.  
Make sure that your link cable is connected.  
On the netpad, check the task tray for the blue monitor icon. If there is no  
icon, your unit is not connected.  
6.2 Using ActiveSync  
ActiveSync allows Windows Explorer to see files on your netpad, using the Explore  
icon in the ActiveSync window. You can copy your netpad files in most of the ways  
you can copy any normal PC file, including copying or moving files to your PC in  
order to print them. The methods outlined in this chapter are representative of ways  
that you might use Explorer, but are not the only possibilities.  
Note: You can change the look of Explorer using options in the View menu;  
therefore, the appearance of your own screen may vary slightly from  
those shown.

Working With Your Files  
6.4 Working With Your Files  
6.4.1 Looking At Files On Your netpad  
Using Windows Explorer, you can open, move, copy and delete files stored on your  
netpad from your PC.  
On the PC, double-click on the Mobile Device  
icon in your PC’s My Computer folder. The  
Mobile Device window opens, displaying icons  
for the files and folders in the My Computer  
folder.  
Double-click on the netpad’s My Computer  
folder under Mobile Device, to display the files  
and folders on the drive. A folder for the multi-  
media card will be present as the Storage Card  
folder.  
6.4.2 Copying A File Using Drag And Drop  
1. Go to the folder you want to copy files from. The left-hand pane of the  
Explorer window shows a list of all the disk drives on your PC, along  
with netpad and network drives (if any). You can expand a branch by  
clicking on the  
symbol next to it, or close the branch by clicking  
on the symbol. The right-hand side of Explorer shows the contents  
of the folder selected on the left.  
2. Use the scroll bar on the right of the left-hand Explorer pane until you  
can see the drive that contains the folder that you want to copy the file  
from. Left-click and hold to drag the file or folder to copy.  
3. Drag the file or folder up the folder list in the left pane, until you can  
see the folder that you wish to copy the file into. If the folder you want  
to copy to is not visible because its branch has not been expanded,  
hover the dragged file over the folder for a second and it should expand.  
This step can be repeated until the folder you want is visible.  
4. Drop the file onto the folder name in the left pane, or into the right pane  
if the folder is open, by releasing the left mouse button.

Chapter 6: Connecting netpad To A PC  
Copying A File Using Copy And Paste  
If necessary, the file is converted into the correct PC format. The file can be used in  
the same way as any other file on your PC.  
6.4.3 Copying A File Using Copy And Paste  
Using Windows Explorer, you can copy files between your PC and netpad in the  
same way you would copy files to a floppy disk, or another PC on a network.  
ActiveSync can convert files as they are copied so that you can open them on the  
other computer immediately.  
Within Windows, clicking the right mouse button often displays a context-sensitive  
(pop-up) menu – a range of commands relevant to the object that you right-click on.  
In Explorer, you can use these menus to copy files between folders, regardless of  
whether they are on the PC or the netpad.  
1. Open Windows Explorer.  
2. Navigate to, and expand, the Mobile Device branch of the folder list.  
Find the folder that contains the file you wish to copy to the PC and  
click on it so that its contents are shown in the right-hand pane of the  
Explorer window.  
3. Right-click on the file and select Copy from the pop-up menu that  
appears.  
4. Navigate to the folder you want to copy this file to, and select it, so that  
its contents (if any) appear in the right-hand pane of the Explorer  
window. Right-click in the right-hand pane of the Explorer window,  
and select Paste from the pop-up menu.

Chapter 6: Connecting netpad To A PC  
Opening netpad Files From Your PC  
You can use Windows Explorer to manage files and folders stored on your netpad in  
the same way as you can on your PC’s drives.  
Warning:  
When you delete a file on your netpad from your PC, it is perma-  
nently removed from the netpad’s drive. The file cannot be  
retrieved from the Windows Recycle Bin, which only stores files  
deleted from your PC’s drives.  
6.4.4 Opening netpad Files From Your PC  
You can open a file on your netpad using a PC application without first having to  
copy it to your PC drive. You can edit the file on your PC and then save it back to  
your netpad when you have finished. To open a file from Windows Explorer,  
double-click on the file icon or press Enter.  
When you save the file within the PC application, ActiveSync saves the edited file  
back to your netpad.  
6.5 Backing Up Your netpad With ActiveSync  
6.5.1 Performing Your First Backup  
You can use ActiveSync to back up all the files stored on your netpad to your PC.  
Keeping backups of your netpad files on your PC means that you have a separate  
copy of all your work that can be restored to your netpad. For example, you can  
restore backed up files to your netpad if you accidentally delete a file, wish to revert  
back to an older version of a file, or need to restore files if you forget to change  
the batteries.  
To make a backup:  
1. Open ActiveSync on the PC by double-clicking on the green circle in  
the task tray.  
2. Click on the Tools menu, then on Backup/Restore.  
3. Click Back Up Now to start backing up the files on your netpad.  
ActiveSync displays a progress window showing how long the backup  
will take and will inform you when it has completed.

Performing Regular Backups  
6.5.2 Performing Regular Backups  
You can set ActiveSync to automatically backup when the device connects, so you  
do not need to back up your netpad manually.  
6.6 Synchronizing Your netpad  
6.6.1 What Is Synchronization?  
You can use synchronization to manage information that you wish to keep up to  
date on both your PC and netpad, such as appointments or address book entries.  
When you synchronize, ActiveSync checks the information in your PC program  
with the matching program on your netpad, and then updates the files on both your  
PC and netpad to include the new information. To synchronize, you must set up a  
partnership between the netpad and the PC.  
Some examples of synchronization are:  
You add a new appointment in your netpad schedule; the date, time and  
notes for the entry will be copied to your PC scheduler and notify you at the  
appropriate time.  
You change a phone number in your PC address book; it will be amended  
in your netpad’s address book.  
You enter overlapping appointments in your PC and netpad schedules;  
ActiveSync will warn you of the conflict.  
6.6.2 Synchronizing Your netpad  
This section details the set-up and day-to-day use of ActiveSync to synchronize  
files, e-mail, schedules, and so on, on the PC. The instructions assume some famil-  
iarity with the use of Windows, and that you are using ActiveSync (supplied with  
netpad). You must also have a local installation of the e-mail and schedule programs  
to synchronize.  
Partnerships are only necessary for synchronization, not to simply copy files from  
the PC to the netpad. Before creating your partnership, note which types of informa-  
tion you want to synchronize. You can synchronize the Calendar, Channels, Con-  
tacts, Files, Inbox, Pocket Access and Tasks. ActiveSync will tell you which  
desktop applications each of these relates to.

7.4 Internet And E-Mail Settings  
7.4.1 Overview  
Before you can use Internet Explorer (the Internet browser) and Inbox (the e-mail  
application) on your netpad, you need to set up certain details. This section covers  
some general questions that people ask about using e-mail and the Internet, and  
provides a glossary of terms. The later sections list the information you will need  
to know before you start setting up the netpad, and then provide step-by-step  
instructions.  
7.4.1.1 Using The Internet On netpad  
You can use your netpad to:  
Access the Internet and view web pages using the Internet Explorer program.  
View locally stored web pages and graphics files.  
Download files, e.g. additional programs for your netpad.  
7.4.1.2 Using E-mail On netpad  
You can use your netpad to send and receive e-mail messages using either one, or  
both, of the following methods:  
Connecting By Telephone Line To A Remote Mailbox  
This is for making a ‘live’ connection to your e-mail mailbox via a telephone line  
(without needing a PC). For example, you could access your personal mailbox by  
dialing your Internet Service Provider (ISP), or access your work mailbox by dial-  
ling your company's service provider or office mailbox.  
What to do next…  
If you want to access your work mailbox, you will first need to contact your  
network administrator to find out whether you can make a ‘remote’ (dial-up) con-  
nection to your mailbox. See “Types Of E-mail Account” on page 76 to continue.

Chapter 7: Configuring Communications  
Overview  
Connecting A PC To Access Your Mailbox  
This is for connecting directly to a PC that can access your mailbox. Using  
ActiveSync's ‘Inbox Synchronization’, you can write e-mails on your netpad,  
and then connect to your PC to send and receive messages.  
How do I do this?  
To access your mailbox via a PC, you will first need to install ActiveSync on the  
PC and set up a partnership to use ‘Inbox Synchronization’.  
7.4.1.3 Types Of E-mail Account  
There are a number of different types of e-mail account. See the list below to find  
out which types of account you can connect to using the e-mail program on  
your netpad.  
Personal Dial-up Account  
This is most likely a dial-up e-mail account which you’ve signed-up for with an  
Internet Service Provider (ISP).  
Which ISPs can I use?  
You can use most ISPs which use ‘Internet standard’ methods for connecting to  
your e-mail account. However, some ISPs (such as America Online) use propri-  
etary methods for connecting, and cannot be accessed by your netpad (i.e. you  
must use a PC). Move on to ‘Setting up your netpad’ to continue.  
This is most likely an e-mail account at your workplace, e.g. using Microsoft  
Exchange or Lotus Notes.  
How do I find out if I can use my account?  
You will need to find out from your network administrator whether you can  
access your e-mail mailbox using this type of account. If you can, move on to  
“Setting Up Your netpad” on page 78 to continue.

Web-based E-mail Account  
This is an e-mail account that you must connect to using a web browser, e.g.  
HotMail or Yahoo! Mail.  
Note: You cant connect to this type of account using the e-mail program.  
To use web-based e-mail, you must first set up your netpad for Internet

You will require an e-mail account before you can access the Internet, and send and  
receive e-mail messages on your netpad.  
To get a personal e-mail account, you must ‘sign-up’ with an Internet  
Service Provider (ISP). ISPs usually provide an e-mail account as part of an  
Internet access package.  
Most ISPs will provide software (e.g. a CD-ROM) which will help you set  
up Internet access and the e-mail account on a PC.  
Important: Some ISPs require that you connect to them using a PC in order  
to sign-up. If you can’t do this, contact the ISP to find out if you  
can sign-up without using a PC. If you have Internet access, see  
www.psion.com/mobile for more details.

DNS  
The Domain Name System is an address book, which allows computers on the  
Internet to find each other by using ‘IP addresses’ and ‘Hostnames’.  
E-mail  
An e-mail (electronic mail) is a text message that is sent over the Internet.  
Hostname  
A human readable version of an IP address, e.g. www.psionteklogix.com could  
be the same as the IP address 194.129.243.153.  
IP address  
A computer’s unique Internet address, e.g. 194.129.243.153, used by computers  
to communicate with each other.  
ISP  
Internet Service Providers are companies that provide you with access to the  
Internet. An ISP ‘account’ normally includes the facility to send and receive e-  
mail using a personal e-mail address.  
POP3/IMAP4  
Internet ‘protocols’ (standards) for receiving e-mail.  
SMTP  
An Internet protocol used for sending e-mail.

Chapter 7: Configuring Communications  
Setting Up Your netpad  
2. A modem.  
You will need a modem to connect your netpad to the telephone net-  
work. You can use the following types of modem with your netpad:  
Standard external PC modems.  
Internal radio modem (GSM variant), see “GSM/GPRS Modem Config-  
uration” on page 68 for details.  
Infrared-enabled mobile phones with built-in modems.  
3. A telephone connection.  
If you are using a standard external modem, you will need to connect  
your modem to a telephone socket. If you are using a mobile phone,  
your network operator will need to enable your SIM (Subscriber Iden-  
tity Module) card so that you can make fax and data calls on your  
phone. If your phone has been enabled for fax and data calls, you  
should have two extra phone numbers. Contact your network operator  
if you are unsure whether your phone's SIM card is ‘data-enabled’.  
7.4.2.2 Getting Help  
If you are having connection problems, you can find information about connecting  
using specific service providers, modems or mobile phones on our web site at  
www.psion.com/mobile.  
7.4.2.3 What Information Do I Need?  
Before you can set up your netpad, you will need to find out some information about  
your modem and your Internet e-mail account by:  
Checking any documentation your ISP supplied about your Internet  
account, or contacting your network administrator at work.  
Checking your ISP’s web site for technical support.  
Contacting your ISP by e-mail or phone for technical support.  
Checking the Psion Teklogix web site at www.psion.com/mobile for  
details of worldwide ISPs and to use the ISP configuration wizard.

7.4.3.2 Setting Up Dialling  
When you connect to the Internet, your netpad will need to dial your service pro-  
vider’s telephone. You can set up different dialling ‘locations’ so that your netpad  
knows how to dial the number correctly, e.g. if you're dialling from the ‘office’ loca-  
tion, you might need to add a ‘9’ before the number you want to dial.  
To set a dialling location:  
1. Open the Control Panel by clicking on Start, then Settings, and then  
Control Panel.  
2. Open the Dialing icon  
to display the dialing settings.  
3. The netpad comes with two default locations, Home and Work. Adjust  
these to suit your needs by selecting the location in the dropdown box  
and editing the associated information. For more control over dialing  
patterns, push the Dialing Patterns button.  
If you don’t want to use any of these pre-defined locations, you can add a new loca-  
tion. It will appear selected in the drop-down list, ready to edit.  
4. Tap on New and enter the name of the new location.  
5. The dropdown will display the new location. Edit as described above.  
6. Tap OK when you have finished setting up your dialing location.

Chapter 9: Troubleshooting the netpad  
General Troubleshooting Tips  
9.1 General Troubleshooting Tips  
You should read this chapter if you have any questions or experience problems  
using your netpad.  
9.1.1 Times Aren’t Correct In The Time Program  
This is likely to be because of “daylight saving” or “summer time” settings (where  
clocks are put forward for the summer months).  
The dates that clocks are set to change vary from country to country, and sometimes  
even within a country; some countries do not use summer times at all. Therefore, the  
netpad clock will not change automatically on the date that the clocks change. You  
will need to make sure that each zone is set to use its “summer time” setting when  
the clocks change in those countries.  
9.1.2 If You Forget Your Password  
If you forget the machine password, you will not be able to use the netpad until  
you perform a “hard reset”. All the files on the internal disk will be lost and  
cannot be retrieved.  
9.1.3 The netpad Doesn’t Turn On/Off  
If the netpad doesn’t seem to turn on:  
Check the screen contrast to make sure it isn’t set too low.  
Recharge the main battery. If you continue to use the netpad when the main  
battery is low, it will eventually not have enough power and the netpad will  
switch off. You will not be able to switch it on again until you place the  
netpad in the docking station to recharge the battery or replace the main  
battery with a charged one.  
If the netpad doesn't seem to turn off:  
Check the automatic switch off time using the Power icon from the  
Control Panel.

How To Reset The netpad  
9.1.4 How To Reset The netpad  
If you find that you cannot exit a program normally, right-click on the taskbar and  
select Task Manager from the context menu. Select the task that appears to be unre-  
sponsive and click on the End Task button.  
If this does not work, or if your netpad appears to have “locked up”, you can always  
perform a “soft reset”. This should restart your netpad while preserving most of  
your information.  
It is worth trying a soft reset if the keys on the netpad do not appear to respond, or if  
the netpad appears to switch on and you are sure that the batteries are good, but the  
screen is otherwise blank.  
To perform a soft reset:  
gently press the stylus onto the reset switch. This is located inside the Card Slot  
door cover to the side of the MMC slot.  
Card Slot Door Latch  
MMC Card  
Reset  
Button  
After a soft reset, any changes to open files will be lost. Your other files on the inter-  
nal disk will almost always be safe.  
It is possible (although unlikely) that a program failure causes the reset to lose the  
information on the Internal disk; it could even prevent the reset from working at all.  
If this happens, you will have to perform a “hard reset”.  
To perform a hard reset:  
1. Remove the netpad from the docking station.  
2. Remove the main battery.  
3. Press and hold down the On/Off button (on the top of the unit).

4. While continuing to hold down the On/Off button, press and release the  
Reset button.  
5. Release the On/Off button.  
Important: A hard reset resets the netpad completely, and all information on  
the Internal disk will be lost.  
9.1.5 Can’t Place The netpad In The Docking Station  
If you are having difficulty putting the netpad in the docking station, you may be  
attempting to insert it upside down. Push the netpad into the docking station until  
you hear a click.

Using Windows95/98/NT 4.0  
This section is a guide to troubleshooting connection problems between a netpad  
and a PC running Windows 95/98/NT 4.0 and ActiveSync. It also presumes you  
have already gone through the online help documents that come with ActiveSync,  
and still have no success in linking. A basic knowledge of using the netpad and  
Windows 95/98/NT 4.0 is necessary. For information about using Windows  
95/98/NT 4.0, check your Windows manual or contact the Windows 95/98/NT 4.0  
helpline.

Basic Troubleshooting For Your netpad  
9.2.2 Basic Troubleshooting For Your netpad  
1. Close down all applications. To see all active programs, look on the  
taskbar. Each program running will have a button. The programs can be  
activated then closed normally, or if necessary, you can right-click on  
the program’s taskbar button and choose Close from the context menu.  
2. Check that the PC Connection setting in the Control Panel is enabled  
and set to the correct serial port. Note that a partnership must already  
exist for the Infrared port to use ActiveSync correctly.  
3. Perform a soft reset on the netpad.  
9.2.3 Basic Troubleshooting For Your PC  
1. Close down any other open applications in Windows.  
2. If you have a laptop:  
Make sure you have no PC Cards (PCMCIA cards) plugged in.  
Most laptops have power-saving features that disable the COM ports.  
Turn these power saving options OFF.  
If your PC has an Infrared port, make sure it is disabled and your  
serial/COM ports are enabled. Psion Teklogix can support you with any  
of these issues. Check the laptop’s manual or contact the manufacturers  
support department to get these issues rectified.  
3. The ActiveSync Connection server icon is in the bottom right-hand  
corner of your PC Screen. When you are not connected, it is a grey  
circle. When you have made a successful connection, it becomes a  
green circle.  
Right-click the ActiveSync icon and  
choose Connection Settings from the  
context menu.

Device Conflicts  
Make sure that the correct connection type is checked.  
It is possible for ActiveSync to conflict with a modem or mouse. Symp-  
toms are the mouse pointer intermittently locking up or software that  
uses the modem intermittently freezing. Check your PC’s device  
manager for conflicts.  
4. If you are using Windows NT 4.0, check that you have at least  
Service Pack 3 installed. If necessary, install it or contact your Systems  
Administrator.  
9.2.4 Device Conflicts  
To check for device conflicts:  
1. Click on the Start button, select Settings and then Control Panel.  
2. Double-click on the System icon.  
3. On the Device manager page of the System properties dialogue, check  
for icons marked with a  
symbol.

Device Conflicts  
Note: This symbol means that the marked device is conflicting with another  
device. If a modem or COM port is conflicting, this could be a cause of  
ActiveSync not connecting. Contact the person or organization that sup-  
ports your PC to resolve the conflict.  
4. There is no Device Manager in Windows NT 4.0. The closest is a list of  
IRQs, I/O ports and DMA channels. These are accessed by the Start  
button, selecting Programs, then Administrative Tools (Common),  
then Windows NT Diagnostics. Select the Resources page in the  
Windows NT Diagnostics dialogue box. If you do not have this option  
or you are in any doubt about it, you should contact your Systems  
Administrator.

Fax/Modem On COM 1/2/3/4  
9.2.5 Fax/Modem On COM 1/2/3/4  
If you have a Fax/Modem using COM Port 3 or 4, and ActiveSync on COM 1 or 2  
(or vice versa), you may have trouble when trying to connect with the netpad.  
Because of the way a PC handles COM ports, COM1 and COM3 are ‘linked’, as are  
COM2 and COM4. Specifically, they share the same Interrupt Request (IRQ).  
In practice, this means that if you have a modem on COM3, it may conflict with the  
netpad on COM1 (and the same applies for COM4 and COM2). The solution is to  
try using ActiveSync on a different port or to assign a different IRQ.  
You can check the COM port properties by following the steps above to get to the  
Device Manager page and double-clicking on the COM port.  
Again, if you are in any doubt about whether you are able to do this safely, you  
should contact the person or organization that supports your PC.

Temp Folder  
If you have an external modem and have unplugged it to use the Psion Teklogix  
serial cable on the same port, you will not get a connection. Windows 95/98/NT 4.0  
reserves this port for use with the modem and so you will have to use another port.  
9.2.6 Temp Folder  
The ActiveSync connection can be affected if you have not specified, or have incor-  
rectly specified, your Temp folder. To specify this:  
1. Click Start and  
select Run. Type  
sysedit in the dia-  
logue and click OK.  
A screen with multiple windows is displayed.

Temp Folder  
2. Click on the AUTOEXEC.BAT title bar.  
3. Look in this window to see if it has a line that starts SET TEMP=. If  
this line exists, check that the folder that it points to exists, and create  
the folder if not.  
If this line doesn’t exist, place the cursor on a new line and type SET  
TEMP=C:\TEMP.  
Close the window and choose Yes when asked if you want to save the  
changes.  
4. Create a folder on the root of your C drive and call it Temp.  
5. Finally, restart your PC.

Troubleshooting ActiveSync Synchronization Problems  
9.3 Troubleshooting ActiveSync  
Synchronization Problems  
This section discusses various problems that may be encountered when synchroniz-  
ing using a partnership.  
Some familiarity with these applications, Windows 95/98/NT 4.0, and your netpad  
is assumed. You will also need a full installation of your PC PIM.  
Note: This section should be used in conjunction with the manual to setting up a  
synchronization for each application.  
The majority of synchronization problems are caused by setting up a synchroniza-  
tion incorrectly. Please make sure you have read the appropriate sections in  
Chapter 6: “Connecting netpad To A PC” first. These explain the correct way to set  
up a synchronization.  
9.3.1 Basic Troubleshooting For Synchronization Problems  
Some common causes of sychronization errors include incorrect settings, and  
e-mail issues.  
Incorrect settings can result from the wrong program being associated with a partic-  
ular synchronization event. If you have Outlook installed on your PC, ActiveSync  
will most likely automatically assume that Tasks, E-mails, etc., should all be associ-  
ated with Outlook. Verify that the programs you are using are associated with the  
type of synchronization you require.  
E-mail issues usually stem from conflicts in address books, and conflicting settings  
in ActiveSync itself. To verify that e-mails get synchronized to and from the netpad  
correctly, verify that the e-mail addresses in the netpad outbox are valid. ActiveSync  
will provide some error text on synchronization to help you detect such problems.  
Conflicting settings in ActiveSync can result in e-mails being transferred as headers  
only, or without attachments. Check the settings for the ActiveSync service in Inbox  
on the netpad to resolve this issue.

Chapter 9: Troubleshooting the netpad  
Other Things To Try  
9.3.2 Other Things To Try  
1. Delete and recreate your partnership in ActiveSync.  
When ActiveSync connects to a machine using a partnership for the  
first time, it uses the name “WindowsCE”. Every subsequent partner-  
ship created after the first asks you to enter a name for that machine.  
Partnerships register details about your netpad on your PC. Sometimes  
this information can become corrupt.  
Open ActiveSync by double-clicking on the ActiveSync icon in the  
PC’s system tray. This will bring up the ActiveSync dialogue.  
Click on the File menu and select Delete Partnership from the menu.  
The Delete Partnership menu item will not be available if there are no  
partnerships.  
If you have deleted all the partnerships, the next time you connect your  
netpad, the partnership will be created as “WindowsCE”.  
2. Make a new backup and recreate any synchronizations.
