Welcome
Congratulations on your selection of our Palm-size PC.
Your new Palm-size PC comes with Microsoft Windows CE preinstalled, which means
it can be used in conjunction with a Microsoft Windows based personal computer. You
can use the Palm-size PC’s powerful software capabilities to take along the latest
version of your appointments, contacts, and other data, while using your desktop or
laptop for major input and editing work. You can even send and receive e-mail while
on the go.
Picture yourself in the following situations.
• You’re on a business trip and receive valuable feedback from an important client.
You can use Calendar to schedule a meeting with your colleagues back at the office.
Next, you can use Contacts to look up e-mail addresses and send messages
informing everyone about the meeting.
• You’re at a meeting taking notes and drawing diagrams with Note Taker. Afterwards,
you send copies of your notes to your colleagues by attaching them to an e-mail
message. When you get back to the office, you clean up and edit your notes after
uploading them to your desktop computer.
• While driving home from work, you suddenly remember two or three important
phone calls you need to make the first thing tomorrow. While stopped at a red light,
you reach for your Palm-size PC and use Voice Recorder to record a reminder for
later playback.
• You’re meeting friends for dinner and a movie tonight. You use Internet Explorer 4.0
on your desktop computer to get the latest movie information, which you then
download to your Palm-size PC. Later over dinner, you use your Palm-size PC to go
over the movie information with your friends to decide which movie you want to
see.
These are just some of the many ways you can use the software capabilities of your
new Palm-size PC in your daily life. In addition, there are a number of other additional
programs you can install to tailor the Palm-size PC to your specific data management
needs.

what program you are currently using. The following explanation describes the
Calendar command bar, which you can display by tapping Start and then Calendar.

recognition, or draw graphics on the screen using the stylus.
You can use the stylus to draw graphics on the screen for input into Note Taker, and for
notes you attach to entries in Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks.
You get the option of entering text by typing with the on-screen keyboard or by
handwriting using the Palm-size PC’s built-in character recognizer. These options are

Recording Formats
Voice Recorder normally records data in TrueSpeech, which requires a relatively small
file. A 10-second TrueSpeech recording uses only about 10 Kbytes of memory, but
with quality that is quite sufficient for normal human speech. When higher quality
recording is required, you can change to PCM format by tapping Tools and then
Recording Format. Tap the Format L button and select PCM from the list that
appears. PCM recordings are saved as .wav files, which can be uploaded to a desktop
computer for playback, editing, and archiving.

If recording quality is not a factor, you can get maximum recording time by changing
the format to Mobile Voice, which compresses files so they are about one third the size
of TrueSpeech files.
Note
• A desktop computer must have Windows CE Services installed in order to play back
Mobile Voice files. See Chapter 6 for more information about installing Windows
CE Services.
• The slider does not move in real time during recording and playback of a Mobile

• If there is no text in the note but the note is inside a folder, the note is given the
folder name followed by a sequential number. Notes stored in a folder names Sales,
for example, would be named Sales1, Sales2, etc.
• If there is no text in the note and the note is not inside a folder, the note is given the
name Note followed by a sequential number.
To change the name of a note, to move the note into a folder, or to change the file
format of a note, tap File and then Save As.
Each Note Taker note is a separate file saved in Note Taker (.pwi) format, which
synchronizes with Microsoft Word files as described under “How Data is

Card Backup Tool
Card Backup Tool lets you quickly and easily back up your Palm-size PC memory data
to a memory card. Backed up data lets you easily restore your system should it start to
malfunction due to some data error.
Backed Up Data
Card Backup Tool backs up the following three types of data in Palm-size PC memory.
• Files
Files are created using Voice Recorder, Note Taker, and other applications and add-
on programs. Files transferred from your desktop computer to the Palm-size PC are
also backed up.
• The Registry
The registry contains setup data for Windows CE and built-in applications.
• Database Data
Database data is Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, and Inbox data.
Time Required for Backup
Depending on the volume of data you are backing up (or restoring), the backup
operation can take anywhere from about 10 seconds to a number of minutes. To back
up 4MB of data, for example takes three or four minutes. To check how much data is
on your system, tap Start, Settings, and then System. On the dialog that appears, tap
the Memory tab. The value under Storage memory indicates how much data is stored
in memory. See Palm-size PC online help for more information.
Important!
The restore operation can take a very long time if you do not have enough storage
memory allocated. When this happens, quit the restore operation, increase the size of
the storage memory, and then try the restore operation again.

Simplified Uppercase Character Set
You can select this character set in the Options dialog described under “Options” on
page 112. Since you write uppercase letters only, there are fewer stroke options with
this set. This also simplifies input and makes it possible for you to write faster.
The tables in this section show how to write Simplified Uppercase Character Set
letters, numbers, punctuation marks, editing marks, and symbols. Alternative writing
methods are shown for each character. A dot indicates where a stroke begins, and a
stroke that does not have a dot can be written in either direction. Stroke sequence is

Tips and Troubleshooting
Tips
This section provides you with useful tips about using batteries and protecting your
Palm-size PC data.
Conserving Battery power
Conserving battery power is important, especially when you are on the go. Under
normal conditions, a fully charged batteries supply enough power to provide you with
many hours of use. Here are a few tips to make a charge last even longer.
Use the AC adapter whenever possible.
Powering your Palm-size PC with the AC adapter helps to conserve battery power. Use
of the AC adapter is especially recommended whenever you are performing any of the
following high-power drain operations.
• When using a dial-up connection
• When connected to a desktop computer
• When using a CompactFlash card or other peripheral
Shorten the auto power off trigger time.
Under initial default settings, your Palm-size PC automatically turns off power if you
do not perform any operation for about three minutes. You can conserve battery power
by shortening this time. Tap Start, Settings, and then Power. On the dialog that
appears, tap the Power Off tab and make the setting you want.
Turn off sounds you don’t need.
Under initial default settings, your Palm-size PC emits sounds for various events, such
as warnings, the arrival of appointment times, screen taps, and button presses. You can
conserve battery power by turning off sounds you don’t need. Tap Start, Settings, and
then Volume & Sounds. On the dialog that appears, make the settings you want.

Charge batteries as soon as possible after the low battery warning
appears.
Charge the main batteries as soon as possible after
appears in the Taskbar to warn
you that main battery power is running low. Continued use while main battery power is
low runs down the backup battery.
When
appears in the Taskbar, replace the backup battery as soon as possible.
Remember that you must keep batteries fresh to protect against loss of data in Palm-
size PC memory. See “Appendix C” on page 129 for more information about the
battery icons that appear in the Taskbar.
Reduce screen brightness.
A brighter screen backlight setting uses more battery power. Tap Start, Programs,
Utility, and then Brightness. On the dialog that appears, tap the Brightness tab and
then reduce the brightness setting.
Adjust the auto dimming settings.
You can shorten the amount of time the system waits after the last operation before
dimming the screen.
Tap Start, Programs, Utility, and then Brightness. On the dialog that appears, tap the
Auto Dim tab. Following the instructions that appear on the screen to make auto
dimming settings.
Protecting Important Data
You can protect your data in two different ways. The first is using a password to keep
important data confidential. The second way is to back up data on your desktop
computer in case of Palm-size PC damage or malfunction.
Use a password to keep data confidential.
Once you register a password, no one will be able to access Windows CE without
entering the password. Tap Start, Settings, and then Password to display the dialog
for registering a password. After you input the password you want to use and check the
Enable password protection at power on option, you will have to input the password
each time you turn on your Palm-size PC.
Important!
Make sure you use a password you can remember easily or make a written note of it
somewhere. If you forget your password, you will not be able to use your Palm-size
PC. You will have to perform a full reset, which deletes all data in Palm-size PC
memory, and start all over again.

Back up data to protect against accidental loss.
You can back up your Palm-size PC data on your desktop computer, which provides
you with a means to recover if Palm-size PC data is corrupted or accidentally deleted.
Periodic backups using Windows CE Services are strongly recommended to protect
your important data. For more information, see Chapter 7 of this User’s Guide.
Note that software named “Card Backup Tool” also comes bundled with your Palm-
size PC. With this software you can quickly and easily back up Palm-size PC onto a
CompactFlash card.
Other Tips

On the Service menu of the Inbox, tap Properties and input your name and e-mail
address into the Return address box using the following format.
YOUR NAME <[email protected]>
Addressee mail address
Normally, you only need to input a mail address into the To: field of a mail message,
like [email protected]. Some system however require pointed brackets around [To:] mail
addresses. For example :<[email protected]>. Check with your service provider for further
information.
