4. GPS and GPS Signals
GPS stands for “Global Positioning System”, which is a network of satellites that transmit accurate time and
position information worldwide. GPS receivers receive signals from these satellites and use the information to
determine an exact location. Satellites orbit the earth at approximately 20,200 km (12,000 miles). While a GPS
receiver can detect signals from up to 12 satellites at any time, only three signals are needed to provide a
position or “GPS fix” (latitude and longitude) for vehicle navigation systems.
The PiN GPS antenna receives GPS signals. To receive GPS signals, ensure that the PiN is outdoors, or in a
vehicle outdoors, and the GPS antenna has an unobstructed view of the sky. The PiN can operate in all
weather conditions except when it is snowing.
NOTE: When you start SmartS, the GPS receiver will automatically turn on.
To manually turn the GPS on or off:
Tap
Æ SettingsÆ System tab Æ GPS.
Tap ON or OFF.

5. Microsoft ActiveSync
Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your computer with the
information on your PiN. Synchronization compares the data on your PiN with your computer
and updates both computers with the most recent information.
NOTE: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. Use
ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for specific information types.
Use ActiveSync to:
•
Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your PiN with Microsoft Outlook
data on your computer.
•
Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your PiN and computer.
Your files are automatically converted to the correct format
With ActiveSync, you can also:
•
•
•
Back up and restore your PiN data.
Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your PiN and computer.
Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example,
you can synchronize continually while connected to your computer 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.
Before you begin synchronization, install ActiveSync on your computer from the PiN 570
Companion CD. ActiveSync comes preinstalled on your PiN.
WARNING
Do not connect your PiN to your computer unless you have Microsoft ActiveSync
installed or until prompted to do so during the installation process.

First, check the Hard Reset on the bottom of the PiN. If the button is to the left, then remove the
stylus and use it to move the switch to the right.
Choose a suitable position on the windshield where the PiN will be clearly visible by the driver
without obstructing the view of the road. Clean and dry the suction-cup and the windshield. Do
not touch either area after it is cleaned.
1. Insert the four tabs at the end of the suction-mount arm into the four slots on the PDA
cradle. Ensure that the Close arrow on the suction-mount is pointed toward the top
end of the cradle.
2. Slide the suction-mount arm towards the top of the PDA cradle. The cradle should
click into place.
3. Ensure that a memory card has been placed in the PiN’s memory card slot.
See page 17 for detailed instructions on how to insert the memory card.
4. Open the GPS antenna outwards, so that it has a clear view of the sky.

PiN 570 | User Manual
The soft keyboard can be used in three modes: small, large with gestures enabled, and large without
gestures enabled. The larger modes gives the advantage of larger keys and therefore higher accuracy; the
small mode allows you to view the soft keyboard in a style similar to a standard QWERTY keyboard. The
different keyboard modes are shown on below, and the way to switch between them is set out on page 28.
By default, your PiN displays the small keyboard with on-screen special commands.
If you choose to view the large keyboard without gestures enabled; the special commands remain, but you
must tap the button in the top left-hand corner in order to enter numbers.
If you choose to view the large keyboard with gestures enabled, you can enter numbers without tapping
through to another keyboard, but you can no longer tap to use special commands. You can activate these
commands using the following methods.
1.
2.
To space forward, swipe the stylus horizontally across the keyboard in a forward direction.
To move backwards, swipe the stylus horizontally across the keyboard in a backwards
direction.
3.

Tips for getting good recognition:
•
•
Write neatly.
Write between the lines. Keep the crosses of “t” and apostrophes and periods and commas within the
lines between which you are writing.
•
•
For better recognition, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Tools menu.
Write the individual letters of a word close together. Leave big gaps between words so that the PiN can
tell where words begin and end.
•
Avoid words that cannot be converted. These include hyphenated words, foreign words that use
special characters such as accents, and some punctuation.
NOTE: If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an “8”) after you attempt to
recognize the word, the writing you add will not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.

Drawing on the Screen
You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. The difference between writing

drawings can be resized, while writing cannot.
To create a drawing:
•
Cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears. 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.
NOTE: You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily work on or view your

Support for clip-on keyboards
You may be able to attach a snap-on keyboard to your PiN (see your PiN manufacturer for supported
keyboards for your PiN). Snap-on keyboards allow you to enter text on a physical keyboard, and allows you
to use number of standard keyboard shortcut commands, such as CTRL+C, copy; CTRL+Z, undo; CTRL+V,
paste; etc. Additionally, most Pocket PC applications now support keyboard mnemonics, meaning you may
be able to access menu items without using the stylus on the screen.

E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. You will need to
enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync. For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see Installing
ActiveSync on Your Computer on page 15.
During synchronization:
•
Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your desktop computer to the
ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your PiN. By default, you will receive messages from the past three days
only, the first 100 lines of each message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size.

Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server
In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop computer, you can send and receive e-mail
messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a modem or network card connected to your PiN. You will
need to set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail server. For more
information, see Chapter 16.
When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the PiN Inbox folder, messages in
the PiN Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from
the PiN Inbox folder.
Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server rather than your
computer. When you delete a message on your PiN, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time
you connect based on your ActiveSync settings.
You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages while connected to
the e-mail server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your PiN.

Managing E-mail Messages and Folders
By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service you have created: Inbox, Deleted
Items, Drafts, Outbox and Sent Items. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted
on the PiN. The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends on the options you have chosen. In
the message list, tap Tools Æ Options Æ Message tab, then select your options.
If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Tools Æ Manage Folders to create new
folders.
Folder behavior with a direct connection to an e-mail server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, SMS, POP3 or IMAP4.
•
If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will automatically be
synchronized with your PiN. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for
ActiveSync. The folders you create and the messages you move will then be mirrored on the server.
For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have
designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the
messages into that folder. You can then read the messages while away from your desktop computer.
•
•
If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the
messages on the PiN and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server
will see that the messages are missing from the PiN Inbox and delete them from the server. This
prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer have
access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the PiN.
If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored on the
server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is
from your PiN or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to
your mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected.

During synchronization, the list of favorite links in your desktop computer’s Mobile Favorites folder is
synchronized with Pocket Internet Explorer on your PiN. Both computers are updated with changes made to
either list each time you synchronize. Unless you mark the favorite link as a mobile favorite, only the link will
be downloaded to your PiN, and you will need to connect to your ISP or network to view the content.
Mobile Favorites
If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later on your desktop computer, you can download mobile
favorites to your PiN. Synchronizing mobile favorites downloads Web content to your PiN so that you can
view pages while you are disconnected from your ISP and desktop computer.
Use the Internet Explorer plug-in installed with ActiveSync to create mobile favorites quickly.

Battery
Please read and follow the handling instructions for the battery before use. Improper use of the battery may
cause heat, fire, explosion, damage or capacity deterioration of the battery. However, the manufacturer will
not guarantee against any accident caused by the usage which is not written here.
DANGER
•
•
Do not dip or wet the battery in water, seawater, or other liquid. If the protecting pin assembled in the
battery is damaged, the battery may be charged with an abnormal current and voltage, which may
result in the cause of heat generation, explosion, or fire of the battery.
The battery has a predetermined polarity. If the battery will not connect well to the charger or
equipment, do not try to connect the battery forcefully. Check the polarity first. In the case the battery is
connected in reverse, it is charged reversely and may cause acid leakage, heat generation, explosion,
or fire due to an abnormal chemical reaction.
•
•
Do not put the battery into a fire or heat it. In such a case, the insulator in the battery may be melted,
the safety vent and structure may be damaged, all of which may cause heat generation, explosion, or
fire.
Do not connect the battery reversed in positive (+) and negative (-) terminals in the charger or
equipment. In the case the battery is connected in reverse, it is charged reversely during charge, and
causes an excessive current during discharge, and may cause heat generation, explosion, or fire due to
an abnormal chemical reaction.
•
Do not let the battery terminals ( + and - ) contact a wire or any metal ( like a metal necklace or a
hairpin ) with which it carried or stored together. In such a case, the battery is shorted and causes an
excessive current, which may result in heat generation, explosion, or fire.
•
•
Do not apply heavy impact to the battery, or throw or drop it. Strong impact may damage the
protecting pin, which may result in heat generation, explosion, or fire of the battery.
Do not drive a nail in, hit with a hammer, or stamp on the battery. In such a case, the battery may be
deformed and shorted, and the protecting pin may be damaged, which may cause heat generation,
explosion, or fire of the battery.
•
Do not solder the battery directly. Heat applied during soldering may damage the insulator or the safety
vent and mechanism, which may result in acid leakage, heat generation, explosion, or fire of the
battery.
•
•
Do not disassemble or alter the battery. The battery contains a safety mechanism and a protecting pin
in order to avoid any danger. If these are damaged, heat, explosion or fire may be caused.
Charge the battery every 6 months to the amount specified by the manufacturer, even if the battery is
not used. An excessive over-discharge may cause an abnormal chemical reaction, which may result in
the cause of acid leakage, or fire of the battery.
