NOTICE  
This unit is equipped with a battery pack and backup battery. It is possible that the Unitech  
PA962 may not power-on due to battery discharge as a result of storage.  
In the above situation, plug the PA962 to the RS232 or USB cable which is with DC in port or  
put the unit into the Unitech PA960/PA962 Cradle (with 12V/2AAC-DC adapter), and recharge  
the unit for 16 hours in order to fully charge its backup battery.  
The backup battery will charge from external power or the main battery (if the main battery still  
has enough power to turn on). In the event the main battery is fully charged, refrain from using  
the PA962 for 16 hours in order for the main battery to fully charge the backup battery.  
Backing-up data by backup battery only without the main battery installed in battery compart-  
ment may take as long as 6 hours. Therefore, in order to prevent data protection failure due to  
backup battery failure, do not leave the PA962 without the rechargeable battery pack installed,  
or without connection to AC power for an extended period of time.

Charging Considerations  
It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are charg-  
ing the Lithium-Ion battery pack. The process is most efficient at normal room  
temperature or slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the  
stated range of -5°C to 50°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range  
could damage the batteries and shorten their charging life cycle.  
Storage and Safety Precautions  
Although charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months,  
their capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this hap-  
pens they will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored  
at temperatures between-20°C to 60°C, however they may be depleted more  
rapidly at the high end of this range. It is recommended to store batteries within  
normal room temperature ranges.

System software and programs added to  
the PA960 at the factory are stored in  
FlashROM. You cannot remove or modify  
this software, and youll never accidentally  
lose FlashROM contents.  
Software programs and data files added to  
your PA962 after factory installation can be  
stored in RAM or Flash Memory.  
InBox  
Following is an overview of InBox. Step-by-Step information on how to use this  
program can be found in the Help function on the PA962. To view Help, tap Start,  
and then Help.  
Sending and Receiving E-Mail with InBox  
Use InBox to send and receive e-mail messages using any of these methods:  
=
Send and receive messages using a dial-up connection to a service provider  
or your corporate network.  
=
Send and receive messages using a wireless network card to a local area  
network (LAN).  
Note: You can send and receive messages with Inbox, but this function cannot  
be synchronized with Outlook.  
Sending Mail Remotely  
In addition to exchanging mail messages with your desktop computer, you can  
send and receive mail from a remote mail server by setting up an e-mail account  
with a service provider.  
34  
Unitech PA962  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
Note: If youre setting up an Internet mail account with an ISP (Internet Service  
Provider), the ISP must use a POP3 mail server and an SMTP mail gateway.  
For dial-up connections, youll require an internal PCMCIA type modem card or  
external modem for the PA962. Youll also need to set up the remote connection  
on the PA962 using the Connections program.  
For wireless connections, youll require an RF card for the PA962. Youll also  
need to set up the remote connection on the PA962 via the Network setting.  
Setting Up Remote Mail  
You can use multiple mail ser-  
vices to obtain mail. For each  
mail service you will access, first  
set up and name each mail  
service. If you will use the same  
service to connect to different  
mailboxes, set up and name each  
mailbox connection.  
In the InBox on the PA962, tap  
Compose, Options, the Ser-  
vices tab, and then the Add  
button. A setup wizard will walk  
you through the steps.  
The software for creating an Internet Mail connection to an ISP is pre-installed on  
the PA962.  
Work Remotely  
Mail received via dial-up connection appears in the InBox folder on the PA962,  
together with the mail you synchronize with your desktop computer. Messages  
received remotely are linked to your mail server rather than to your desktop  
computer.  
You can work online, which means that you read and respond to messages while  
connected to the server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which  
saves space on your device.  
35  
Product Reference Guide  
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.  
You can also work offline. Once youve downloaded new message headers or  
partial messages, you can disconnect from the server and then decide which  
message to download completely. The next time you connect, InBox automati-  
cally downloads the complete messages youve marked for retrieval and sends  
the messages youve composed.  
Receiving Messages  
Messages received by synchronizing with your desktop computer and through  
remote connections appear together in your InBox. Double-tap a message to read  
it.  
When you connect to your Internet mail service, the InBox downloads only the first  
100 lines of each new message to the InBox folder by default. No mail attach-  
ments are downloaded. When you synchronize with your desktop computer, only  
the first 50 lines of each new message remains on the mail server or your desk-  
top computer.  
You can mark the messages that you want to retrieve in  
their entirety the next time you synchronize or connect to  
your mail service. Select the message, tap Service, and  
then tap Retrieve Full Copy. The icons in the InBox  
messages list give you a visual indication of the message  
status.  
Specify your downloading preferences when setting up  
the service or selecting your synchronization options.  
You can change them at any time.  
=
To change InBox delivery options for mail synchronization: in the Mobile  
Devices window on your desktop computer select your WinCE icon, click  
Tools, and then click ActiveSync Options. Select Message and then click  
Options. (For the Options button to be available, you must have previously  
enabled message synchronization.)  
=
To change InBox delivery options for remote mail: in InBox on your PA962, tap  
Service and then tap the service name. Then tap Service again and tap  
Properties.  
Youll need to download a full message before you can view its attachments.

Sending Messages  
To compose a new message, tap the New Message button on the command bar.  
Enter an e-mail address in the To field or select a name from the Address Book.  
All e-mail addresses entered in the e-mail fields in Contacts appear in the Address  
Book.  
To send your message, tap File and Send. Messages are placed in your OutBox  
folder on the PA962 and will be delivered to their destination in one of two ways:  
=
They are transferred to the OutBox folder in Exchange or Outlook on your  
desktop computer the next time you synchronize.  
=
They are transmitted to your mail server the next time you connect remotely.  
In InBox, make sure the appropriate service is selected on the Service menu.  
Then tap Connect.  
RF Communication  
Windows CE can support TCP/IP protocol, so the user can easily connect to the  
Internet by Modem or RF. The following chapter is an introduction on how to  
connect the PA962 to a network via TCP/IP.  
There are several PCMCIA RF cards available on the market. These cards  
provide the PA962 with wireless communications. Currently, Unitech provides  
Cisco 350, Agere (Lucent OEM 802.11b card) support for the PA962 with the  
drivers pre-installed. By selecting a supported card for the PA962 RF communi-  
cation will be plug-and-play.  
RF networks look and operate similarly to Ethernet networks. The only differ-  
ence is that a radio transmission replaces the hard-wire connection between  
the various nodes. This means all of your existing applications that currently  
operate over Ethernet will also function utilizing WLAN without any special  
wireless network software. This picture illustrates a typical network topology  
including the PA962 with RF.
