Power Management  
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 NETBOOK PRO” 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,  
simulating the standard mouse clicks. For example, you can:  
•
•
•
Single-tap (or single-click) to select an item.

2.5 Power Management  
The NETBOOK PRO is powered by a Lithium Ion rechargeable battery pack (for  
details, see “Battery Life Of The NETBOOK PRO” on page 102). The NETBOOK  
PRO can be powered from AC when used with the AC adaptor. When the  
NETBOOK PRO is powered from the AC adaptor, it will also charge the battery  
pack.  
Note: How long your batteries last will depend upon how you use your NET-  
BOOK PRO. The NETBOOK PRO will use considerably more battery  
power when you have the brightness turned up, are using files stored on a  
memory card, or are using infrared or a communications card.  
You can take steps to help prolong your battery’s life:  
• Turn the screen brightness down.  
• Set the delay time to 10 minutes in the Switch to Suspend option of the  
Battery Power scheme of the Power Schemes tab in the Power Proper-

2.5.1.1 Battery  
To check the battery power status, click on the Battery tab:  
Figure 2.3 Power Properties: Battery  
This tab describes the main and backup batteries, and their state. A warning message  
to change or recharge the battery appears when the main or backup battery levels  
become critically low.  
This tab includes a checkbox, Using multiple main battery packs. When this check-  
box is selected, the NETBOOK PRO calibrates each battery pack anew each time  
the pack is inserted. When this checkbox is not checked, the NETBOOK PRO  
retains the battery calibration information when the battery pack is removed. See  
“Battery Calibration” below for details.  
This tab also displays an indication of charge or discharge current for the main bat-  
tery.The user can see how the current varies as the main battery charges and dis-  
charges, the backlight is adjusted, or a peripheral card is inserted.  
Note: The current measurement displayed may be up to ten seconds old.  
2.5.1.2 Battery Calibration  
The NETBOOK PRO uses ‘battery calibration’ to increase the accuracy of the  
remaining charge indication for its rechargeable battery.  
When a battery pack is first connected, the NETBOOK PRO tracks its discharge and  
charge current and voltage over a full discharge/charge cycle. This enables it to form  
a picture of how the battery behaves, and thus give accurate estimates of how long

the charge will last during day-to-day use. An indicator beside the estimate of  
remaining charge in the main battery displays either ‘Not calibrated’, ‘Calibrating’,  
or nothing:  
•
When the Battery tab of the Power Properties dialog displays the ‘Not cali-  
brated’ message, the NETBOOK PRO has not yet calibrated the battery.  
•
When it displays the ‘Calibrating’ message, the NETBOOK PRO is setting  
up its battery calibration. To do this, it tracks the performance of the battery  
through a complete discharge and charge cycle.  
The percentage capacity estimate of the battery is not very accurate in the 'Not cali-  
brated' state, somewhat more accurate in the 'Calibrating' state, and should be very  
accurate once the battery has been calibrated.  
Note: Psion Teklogix recommends that the battery be fully charged when first  
used, then fully discharged before being charged again.  
When the battery is calibrated, the ‘Calibrating’ indication vanishes. Once the  
battery is calibrated, the NETBOOK PRO continues to refine its estimate every time  
it sees a full charge or discharge cycle. The battery-charge indication is thus adjusted  
for ageing battery packs.  
A calibration cycle will abort if the AC power state is changed (if the power cable is  
plugged in or removed). Calibration during charging can also abort if the unit gets  
too hot.  
The ‘Not calibrated’ indicator will reappear, and calibration of the gauge is lost, if  
any of these four conditions occur:  
•
•
•
•
The unit automatically shuts off due to low battery, when the capacity esti-  
mate is greater than 6%.  
Battery charging ceases (charge current less than 100mA) and the capacity  
estimate is less than 94%.  
Capacity estimate reaches 0% and unit continues to run for more than 15  
minutes.  
Capacity estimate reaches 100% and unit continues to charge with charge  
current greater than 100mA for more than 15 minutes.

Power Properties  
2.5.1.3 Power Saving Schemes  
The Power Schemes tab specifies the settings for the two ‘power schemes’ named  
On AC Power, and On Battery Power. These power schemes group settings to be  
used when the NETBOOK PRO is running on battery power or when it is connected  
to external power.  
Figure 2.4 Power Properties: Schemes  
Note: The Power Properties Schemes settings are cumulative—that is, to deter-  
mine when the NETBOOK PRO enters ‘Suspend’ state, the unit waits for  
the ‘Switch to Dim’ time to elapse, followed by the ‘Switch to Stand-By’  
time, and then, once the ‘Switch to Suspend’ time has elapsed, ‘Suspend’  
state is activated.  
When setting the Switch to Dim, Switch to Stand-By, and Switch to Suspend states,  
keep the following in mind. Because the NETBOOK PRO ‘wakes up’ from the Dim  
and Stand-By states almost instantaneously following any user input (button press,  
screen tap), the timeouts you set will not slow user activity. The sum of the Switch to  
Dim, Switch to Stand-By, and Switch to Suspend timeouts should be selected  
carefully since the NETBOOK PRO will go to sleep (appear off) when this time has  
elapsed, saving battery power.  
Psion Teklogix recommends starting with a total of 10 minutes for this overall  
timeout. Setting any of these timeouts to Never does not affect the other timeout  
options, but will adversely affect the battery run time. If all three timeouts are set to  
Never, the NETBOOK PRO will remain on. To further reduce power consumption,  
carefully consider the duration of time that the display backlight is ON or turned up  
(see “Backlight Properties” on page 30).

the Switch to Stand-By and the Switch to Stand-By options have elapsed without  
any activity. The NETBOOK PRO then begins to monitor the Suspend time.  
Figure 2.6 Power Schemes: Switch To Standby Menu  
Press any button to bring the unit out of Standby state.  
Switch to Suspend  
Once the time specified in the Switch to Dim and the Switch to Stand-By states have  
elapsed, the NETBOOK PRO begins to count down the time specified in the Switch  
to Suspend option. When the time in the Suspend option elapses, the unit enters  
Suspend state.  
In Suspend state, the NETBOOK PRO CPU suspends all activity, turns off the dis-  
play, and goes into a low power state. The state of the device (RAM contents) is pre-  
served.  
Select Suspend from the Start Menu or press the Fn and Esc keys together to put  
the NETBOOK PRO into Suspend state. The NETBOOK PRO may be configured  
to allow entry into Suspend state if external communications connections are active;  
these options can be set in the Advanced tab of the Power Properties dialog.  
Press the Esc/On key to wake up the unit. You can also enable the unit to wake from  
Suspend when a number of external events occur, by checking the appropriate  
option box in the Advanced tab of the Power Properties dialog.  
Note: When the NETBOOK PRO is in suspend state, any network connection is  
broken. To resume, you must re-establish the network connection.

The backup battery preserves the contents of the NETBOOK PRO.  
If you are going to use more than one battery pack, you should indicate this on the  
Battery tab of the Power Properties dialog by selecting the check-box ‘Using multi-  
ple main battery packs’. This option indicates that any time you remove a battery,  
you may be replacing it with a different one. When the battery is removed, the  
NETBOOK PRO discards the current battery capacity information, and starts from  
the ‘Not calibrated’ state for the battery gauge.  
Important: Always switch off the NETBOOK PRO before removing the main  
battery.  
2.5.2.4 Prolonging Battery Life  
When your NETBOOK PRO is switched off, it is in the ‘Suspend’ state and will  
continue to use a small amount of battery power. If you are going to leave your  
NETBOOK PRO switched off for a long period of time, you are advised to back up  
your data beforehand because the batteries will eventually run out. For details on  
battery usage and life, please refer to “Battery Life Of The NETBOOK PRO” on

Performing A Soft Reset  
If this does not work, or your NETBOOK PRO appears to have ‘locked up’, you can  
perform a ‘soft reset’. This should restart your NETBOOK PRO while preserving  
most of your information. After a soft reset, any changes to open files will be lost.  
Files in internal flash storage are preserved.  
It is worth trying a soft reset if the keys on the NETBOOK PRO do not appear to  
respond, or if the NETBOOK PRO appears to switch on and you are sure that the  
batteries are good, but the screen is otherwise blank.  
It is possible, though unlikely, that performing a soft reset after a program failure  
would cause the NETBOOK PRO to lose the information in its internal flash stor-  
age; it could even prevent the reset from working at all. If this happens, you will  
have to perform a ‘hard reset’. This will erase all data in internal storage.  
Important: A hard reset resets the NETBOOK PRO completely. All running  
programs, unsaved information, or programs installed to the  
RAM disk will be lost.  
Anything saved to non-volatile (flash disk) storage will be pre-  
served. Any registry settings that have been written to non-volatile  
storage will be preserved.  
2.9.1 Performing A Soft Reset  
To perform a soft reset:  
1. Do one of the following:  
•
•
Execute the ‘warmboot.exe’ program found in the Windows folder.  
Hold down the Ctrl, Alt, and Delete keys for three seconds.

Note: Pressing the On/Off button is only necessary if the unit has been reset  
through use of the reset switch.  
After a soft reset, any changes to open files will be lost. Your other files in internal  
storage will almost always be safe. When you use the warmboot.exe program,  
changes made to the registry will be saved.  
2.9.2 Performing A Hard Reset  
To perform a hard reset:  
•
Remove all batteries and AC power.  
Notes:  
1. When performing a hard reset, it is a good idea to remove the backup  
batteries before the main battery, to avoid unnecessary drain of the  
backup batteries.  
2. Hard resetting the NETBOOK PRO will delete the ActiveSync  
partnership on the NETBOOK PRO. You may delete and recreate the  
partnership on the PC, or create another partnership with a new  
name. Refer to ActiveSync’s online help for more detail on this  
operation.

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  
Entering Owner and Password Information  
3.1 Things To Do First  
This section describes what you may need to do to set up your NETBOOK PRO:  
•
•
•
Enter owner information in the Owner control panel, so that your  
NETBOOK PRO can be returned if you lose it.  
Set a password for your machine, so that other people cannot access  
your information.  
Set the current time and date.  
3.1.1 Entering Owner and Password Information  
It is a good idea to enter “owner information”, so that if the NETBOOK PRO is lost,  
it can be returned when found:  
1. Select the Owner icon from the Control Panel. Fill in the fields on the  
Identification tab. Click OK to save your information.  
2. Select the Password icon from the Control Panel. Enter a password in  
the first textbox and confirm it by typing it again in the second textbox.  
The text will be displayed as an asterisk (*) for security.  
3. Click At Power On if you want to display the password request screen  
when switching the machine on after a suspend.  
4. Click OK to save your changes.  
Note: The system password does not protect files stored on memory cards or  
files copied to other machines. However, when connecting via ActiveSync  
to a unit that is password protected, you will be asked to enter the unit’s  
password on the PC.  
Important: Don’t forget your password! If you have forgotten the system  
password then you will have to reset the machine.  
3.1.2 Setting The Time, Date, And Time Zone  
1. In the Control Panel, open the Date/Time icon. The Date/Time Proper-  
ties dialog is also accessible by double-clicking on the system time in  
the system tray.

2. You will see a dialog in which you can set the time, date, and time zone.  
Move the highlight in the date box by tapping on the correct date. Use  
the arrow buttons to change month and year. In the Current Time box,  
type in the time or use the up and down arrows to set the time.  
3. Click on the OK button and the time and date are saved.  
3.2 Things To Do Next  
This section gives a brief overview of what else you may want to do when you first  
use your NETBOOK PRO.  
3.2.1 Setting Up ActiveSync  
ActiveSync allows you to connect the NETBOOK PRO 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 through serial or infrared at least once before other  
connection types (Bluetooth, Ethernet, 802.11) are possible.  
Install the most recent version of ActiveSync on your PC (check the Microsoft  
website for the latest software).  
3.2.1.1 Partnerships  
There are two types of connection provided for by ActiveSync:  
•
Guest - A guest connection allows file transfers. No synchronization is per-  
formed. If the NETBOOK PRO is password protected, the password  
prompt will appear when connecting as guest.  
•
Partnership - A partnership connection allows for synchronization of files,  
e-mail and other data. If the NETBOOK PRO is password protected, a pass-  
word prompt will appear before allowing synchronization. It is necessary to  
establish a partnership before trying to connect to ActiveSync via Ethernet,  
Bluetooth, or 802.11.  
You can disconnect any ActiveSync connection by double-clicking on the blue icon  
in the NETBOOK PRO’s system tray and selecting the Disconnect button from the  
dialog.

Securing Your Information  
3.2.4 Securing Your Information  
There are no known problems with passing the NETBOOK PRO through airport  
security machines and other X-rays.  
There are several things that you can do to secure your files against other hazards.  
•
•
To prevent accidental alterations to the contents of a file, the file can be  
made “read-only”. For more information see Chapter 4: “Files, Folders,  
and Programs”.  
To prevent accidental loss of data, files should be backed up regularly (see  
“Backing Up To A Memory Card” on page 43), in case they become cor-  
rupted or are deleted accidentally.  
•
•
To prevent unauthorized access to sensitive information, a password can be  
set to restrict access to data files.  
Enter owner information so that the NETBOOK PRO can be returned if it is  
lost. See “Entering Owner and Password Information” on page 39.  
Note: It is not possible for anyone to copy information from or to your machine  
using Infrared, unless they are able to access the Infrared ‘Send’ and  
‘Receive’ commands on the NETBOOK PRO.

open.You will be prompted to save your changes.  
You can also close files or programs by selecting the list of open files and programs  
by using the X button in the upper right corner of any window.  
4.5 Creating New Folders  
New folders (or directories) can be created anywhere in the NETBOOK PRO’s  
system.  
A convenient place to keep the user documents is the My Documents folder under  
My Computer. It is possible to create folders inside My Documents, in which to  
store all your files to prevent the My Documents screen from becoming too full.  
Folders can also be created in the flash disk folder or on memory cards. The con-  
tents of these folders will not be lost during a hard reset.  
To create a new folder:  
1. Move to the folder in which you wish to create the new folder.  
2. Select the New folder command from the File menu, and type in the  
folder name. You can also right-click on the blank space in a folder and  
select New folder from the context menu.

Chapter 4: Files, Folders, and Programs  
Creating New Files  
If you use NETBOOK PRO files with a PC, you may wish to create folders that  
match equivalent folders on your PC. This will make transferring files between the  
NETBOOK PRO and PC easier.  
4.5.1 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,  
“2002 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.  
4.6 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.  
4.7 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.

Chapter 4: Files, Folders, and Programs  
Managing Folders  
Files that have been created on a PC and then transferred to the NETBOOK PRO  
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.  
4.8 Managing Folders  
To move one or more folders or files from one location to another:  
1. First highlight the file(s) or folder(s) to select them. Drag with the  
stylus to select more than one file.  
To select all the files/folders in the current folder, use the Select all  
command on the Edit menu. To deselect items, press the Esc key.  
2. Select the Cut command from the Edit menu. A dotted line appears  
around the file/folder icon(s).  
3. Go to the folder into which the highlighted items are to be moved.  
4. Select the Paste command from the Edit menu.  
Note: Moving a folder also moves all the files within that folder.  
To copy a file or folder, or multiple files/folders to a different folder:  
follow the earlier instructions, but select the Copy as opposed to the Cut  
command from the Edit menu.  
To make a copy of a file or folder within the same folder:  
highlight it and select the Copy command followed by the Paste command. A  
new file is automatically created for you using the following naming convention  
(with Wordpad as the example): Copy of Doc1, etc. You can rename the file or  
folder later if you wish.  
To rename a single file or folder:  
right-click, select Rename from the context menu, and then type in a new name.  
To remove one or more files or folders:  
first highlight them and then either press the Delete key, or select the Delete  
command from the File menu. You can also right-click and select Delete.

Memory-Card Folders  
Important: If you are deleting folders, remember that the entire contents of  
the folders (including all the other folders contained within them  
and all their files) will also be deleted.  
4.9 Memory-Card Folders  
Each memory card appears as a separate folder in My Computer.  
Folder For MMC/SD Card  
Folder For First CF/PCMCIA Card  
Folder For Second CF/PCMCIA Card  
The MMC/SD card has folder name 'MMC Card'. In the Storage Manager, it has  
device name 'SMC1:' (see section 4.12 on page 56 for details about the Storage  
Manager).  
CompactFlash and PCMCIA cards are treated identically by the system. Whichever  
of them is inserted first is assigned folder name 'Storage Card' and device name  
'DSK2:'. Whichever is inserted second is assigned folder name 'Storage Card2' and  
device name 'DSK3:'. These folder and device names remain constant while the  
cards are connected (if one is removed, the names for the other do not change), but if  
both the CF and PCMCIA cards are removed and replaced in reverse order, the des-  
ignations will be swapped.  
Note: This assumes that there is only one partition on each card.

The Flash Folder  
4.10 The Flash Folder  
The Flash folder, accessed from the My Computer icon on the desktop, can be used  
both to store data securely in case of power loss, and to install .cab (cabinet) files.  
Folder For Internal Flash Storage  
Data stored in this directory will still exist even if the main battery and backup  
battery are discharged. Data will also remain in this directory after a “soft” or “hard”  
reset. The size of storage is limited—to see the amount of space available in this  
folder, right-click on the Flash icon in My Computer, and select Properties in the  
dropdown menu.  
The Flash folder can also be used to store .cab files that you want installed automat-  
ically following a cold boot. Place any .cab files you want installed into the Flash  
folder named Auto Restore. If there are some files you don’t want installed auto-  
matically with a cold boot but want to keep secure, either back those up to your PC  
or place in another folder within the Flash folder.  
The Flash folder has device name ‘DSK1:’ in the Storage Manager.

Checking System Memory Use  
4.11 Checking System Memory Use  
To display the amount of system memory (RAM) remaining:  
double-click the System icon in the Control Panel and select the Memory tab.  
You can see the amount of free memory in the slider bar.  
4.11.1 What Happens When System Memory Is Full?  
When the system memory is nearly full, you will see warning dialogs when running  
programs to indicate that the NETBOOK PRO’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 dialogs, menus, etc. These can fail with a  
message like ‘Memory full’. The NETBOOK PRO 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 flash memory, files saved on memory cards, and ‘open’  
programs do not use system memory.  
Applications running from RAM, or files stored outside the Flash folder or memory  
cards, do use system memory. To free memory, close these files, delete any  
unwanted files, or move files to a multimedia card or your PC.  
4.11.2 Additional Memory And Programs  
You can insert memory cards into the slots of the NETBOOK PRO. You might use  
them as additional memory for storing files, or to add more programs to the  
NETBOOK PRO. For details, please refer to “Memory Cards” on page 24.  
If a memory card contains additional programs:  
their icons will be available in the card’s folder.

cards, PCMCIA flash cards and microdrives, and CompactFlash cards and micro-  
drives.  
4.12.1 Formatting A Memory Card  
Formatting a memory card bulk-erases it. Once a card is erased, partitions may be  
created in it, similarly to those on a hard drive.  
Memory-card devices are normally ‘mounted’ (made available to the system)  
automatically when they are inserted. They must be dismounted before they can be  
formatted.  
To format an entire memory card:  
1. Select Start, Control Panel.  
2. Double-click on the Storage Manager icon. The Storage Manager  
opens:

Chapter 5: Using The PC Connection  
Introduction  
5.1 Introduction  
This chapter explains how to use ActiveSync to copy files between a PC and the  
NETBOOK PRO, and to ‘synchronize’ files between the two devices. It assumes  
®
some basic knowledge of Windows PC operating systems.  
These instructions assume that you have established a link between your PC and  
NETBOOK PRO. See “Setting Up ActiveSync” on page 40 for details on communi-  
cation links.  
•
Check that a link exists between the NETBOOK PRO 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 suc-  
cessfully linked, as shown.  
If this circle is grey there is no connection.  
•
•
Make sure that your link cable is connected.  
On the NETBOOK PRO, check the taskbar for the blue monitor icon. If  
there is no icon, your unit is not connected.  
5.2 Using ActiveSync  
ActiveSync allows Windows Explorer to see files on your NETBOOK PRO, using  
the Explore icon in the ActiveSync window. You can copy your NETBOOK PRO  
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 possibili-  
ties.

Getting Help  
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.  
5.3 Getting Help  
5.3.1 Where Can I Find More Help?  
ActiveSync includes comprehensive online help, which describes all of the applica-  
tion's features and functionality. Please consult the online help for further informa-  
tion or guidance on using ActiveSync.  
You can display the help topics by double-clicking on the ActiveSync icon on the  
PC system tray and selecting Help from the menu, then Microsoft ActiveSync  
Help.  
Note: You can display help for a particular task or dialog by pressing the  
F1 key.  
5.3.2 Tips On Using ActiveSync Help  
From the Help window, you can find the information you require as follows:  
From the Contents tab  
you can select a topic from a structured list, e.g. how to perform a particular  
task, or troubleshooting information about how to solve a problem. To find the  
topic you want, double-click on the topic to find the general area of interest, and  
then choose the topic you want to display.  
From the Index page  
you can find the topic you want by entering any word linked to the subject, such  
as ‘backup’ to find topics containing information about how to back up  
your NETBOOK PRO.  
From the Find page  
you can search for an exact word or phrase contained within a topic, such as  
‘serial port’ to find all the topics in the online Help containing this phrase.

Working With Your Files  
5.4 Working With Your Files  
5.4.1 Looking At Files On Your NETBOOK PRO  
Using Windows Explorer, you can open, move, copy and delete files stored on your  
NETBOOK PRO 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 NETBOOK PRO’s My  
Computer folder under Mobile Device, to  
display the files and folders on the drive. There  
will be a folder for each inserted memory card.  
5.4.2 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 NETBOOK PRO 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 5: Using The PC Connection  
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.  
5.4.3 Copying A File Using Copy And Paste  
Using Windows Explorer, you can copy files between your PC and NETBOOK  
PRO in the same way you would copy files to a floppy disk, or another PC on a net-  
work. 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 NETBOOK PRO.  
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 5: Using The PC Connection  
Opening NETBOOK PRO Files From Your PC  
You can use Windows Explorer to manage files and folders stored on your  
NETBOOK PRO in the same way as you can on your PC’s drives.  
Warning:  
When you delete a file on your NETBOOK PRO using your PC, it  
is permanently removed from the NETBOOK PRO’s internal stor-  
age. The file cannot be retrieved from the PC’s Windows Recycle  
Bin, which only stores files deleted from the PC’s drives.  
5.4.4 Opening NETBOOK PRO Files From Your PC  
You can open a file on your NETBOOK PRO 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 NETBOOK PRO when you have finished. To open a file from  
Windows Explorer, navigate to the Mobile Device section of the file tree, locate the  
file, then double-click on the file icon or press Enter.  
When you save the file from within the PC application, ActiveSync transfers the  
saved file back to your NETBOOK PRO.  
5.5 Backing Up Your NETBOOK PRO With ActiveSync  
5.5.1 Performing Your First Backup  
You can use ActiveSync to back up all the files stored on your NETBOOK PRO to  
your PC. Keeping backups of your NETBOOK PRO files on your PC means that  
you have a separate copy of all your work that can be restored to your NETBOOK  
PRO. For example, you can restore backed up files to your NETBOOK PRO 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 taskbar.  
2. Click on the Tools menu, then on Backup/Restore.  
3. Click Back Up Now to start backing up the files on your NETBOOK  
PRO. ActiveSync displays a progress window showing how long the  
backup will take and will inform you when it has completed.

Performing Regular Backups  
5.5.2 Performing Regular Backups  
You can set ActiveSync to automatically backup when the device connects, so you  
do not need to back up your NETBOOK PRO manually.  
5.6 Synchronizing Your NETBOOK PRO  
5.6.1 What Is Synchronization?  
You can use synchronization to manage information that you wish to keep up to date  
on both your PC and NETBOOK PRO. When you synchronize, ActiveSync checks  
the information in your PC program with the matching information on your  
NETBOOK PRO, and then updates the files on both your PC and NETBOOK PRO  
to include the new information. To synchronize, you must set up a partnership  
between the NETBOOK PRO and the PC.  
5.6.2 Synchronizing Your NETBOOK PRO  
This section details the set-up and day-to-day use of ActiveSync to synchronize files  
on the PC. The instructions assume some familiarity with the use of Windows, and  
that you are using ActiveSync.  
Partnerships are only necessary for synchronization, not to simply copy files from  
the PC to the NETBOOK PRO.  
5.6.2.1 Creating The Partnership  
1. Make sure that your NETBOOK PRO is connected to the PC via the  
serial cable.  
2. Set the PC to listen on the port the serial cable is connected to.  
3. On the NETBOOK PRO, check the PC Connection control panel to  
make sure it is set to send to the correct port.

ActiveSync for its data synchronization. See “On-Schedule Outlook Sync”  
on page 73.  
7. Click Next.  
8. ActiveSync will display the Setup Complete screen with further infor-  
mation on using ActiveSync. Click Finish.

Using An Existing Partnership  
5.6.3 Using An Existing Partnership  
Once you have set up the partnership as above, you can use it whenever you wish.  
When the NETBOOK PRO and the PC are connected afterward, it will automati-  
cally use the current partnership.  
To force synchronization, make sure the NETBOOK PRO and the PC are already  
connected. Press the Sync button in the PC’s ActiveSync window. To stop synchro-  
nization, click on the Stop button.  
Note: Hard resetting the NETBOOK PRO will delete the partnership on the  
NETBOOK PRO. You may delete and re-create the partnership on the PC,  
or create another partnership with a new name. Refer to ActiveSync’s  
online help for more details on this operation.  
5.7 On-Schedule Outlook Sync  
The NETBOOK PRO includes Pocket On-Schedule, a full-featured email, schedule,  
and contact-management program. Pocket On-Schedule comes with On-Schedule  
Outlook Sync, which enables it to synchronize information with Microsoft Outlook  
running on Windows 2000. On-Schedule Outlook Sync runs on your PC and uses  
the ActiveSync connection to communicate with the NETBOOK PRO.  
To use On-Schedule Outlook Sync, you must be running Windows 2000 and  
Microsoft Outlook, and you must have already established a partnership through  
ActiveSync with the NETBOOK PRO.  
On-Schedule Outlook Sync can be installed from the CD that accompanies the  
NETBOOK PRO. After installation, help for the program is available from Start,  
Programs, On-Schedule, On-Schedule Outlook Sync Help.  
Help for Pocket On-Schedule itself is available on the NETBOOK PRO by selecting  
Start, Programs, Pocket On-Schedule to open the program, then selecting File,  
Help Contents. The manuals for both Pocket On-Schedule and On-Schedule  
Outlook Sync can also be found on the CD.

6.4 Bluetooth Radio Configuration  
Bluetooth is a global standard for wireless connectivity for digital devices. The tech-  
nology is based on a short-range radio link that operates in the ISM band at 2.4 GHz.  
When two Bluetooth-equipped devices come within 10 meters’ range of each other,  
they can establish a connection. Because Bluetooth uses a radio-based link, it  
doesn't require a line-of-sight connection in order to communicate.  
Note: The Bluetooth radio card uses an internal antenna.  
The following menus provide the configuration settings for the Bluetooth radio  
card. For details on setting up a modem through the serial port, please refer to “Con-  
necting The Modem” on page 94.

Internet And E-Mail Settings  
6.5 Internet And E-Mail Settings  
6.5.1 Overview  
Before you can use Internet Explorer (the Internet browser) and Inbox (the e-mail  
application) on your NETBOOK PRO, 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 NETBOOK PRO, and then provide  
step-by-step instructions.  
6.5.1.1 Using The Internet On The NETBOOK PRO  
You can use your NETBOOK PRO 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 NETBOOK PRO.  
6.5.1.2 Using E-mail On The NETBOOK PRO  
You can use your NETBOOK PRO to send and receive e-mail messages by con-  
necting to a remote mailbox:  
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 dialing  
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 90 to continue.

Chapter 6: Configuring Communications  
Overview  
6.5.1.3 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 NETBOOK PRO.  
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 NETBOOK PRO  
(i.e. you must use a PC). Move on to ‘Setting up your NETBOOK PRO’ to con-  
tinue.  
Remote (e.g. Office) E-mail Account  
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 NETBOOK PRO” on page 92 to continue.  
Web-based E-mail Account  
This is an e-mail account that you must connect to using a web browser, such as  
HotMail or Yahoo! Mail.  
Note: You can’t connect to this type of account using the e-mail program.  
To use web-based e-mail, you must first set up your NETBOOK PRO for  
Internet access. You will need to use the Internet Explorer program to  
access your e-mail provider’s web site.  
6.5.1.4 If You Don’t Have An Internet/E-mail Account  
You will require an e-mail account before you can access the Internet, and send and  
receive e-mail messages on your NETBOOK PRO.

Chapter 6: Configuring Communications  
Overview  
•
•
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.  
6.5.1.5 Glossary Of Terms  
DNS  
The Domain Name System (DNS) is an Internet service that translates domain  
(or ‘host’) names into IP addresses. Domain names are alphabetic but the Inter-  
net is based on numeric IP addresses. Therefore when a domain name is used, a  
DNS service must translate the name into the corresponding IP address. For  
example, the domain name www.psionteklogix.com might translate into the IP  
address 194.129.243.153.  
Hostname (or Domain Name)  
A unique identifier in alphabetic characters for a network device.  
The hostname corresponds to the device’s numeric IP address. For example,  
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.  
TCP/IP  
An Internet protocol used by computers to communicate with each other.

6.5.2 Setting Up Your NETBOOK PRO  
6.5.2.1 How To Use Internet Explorer/Inbox  
To access the Internet, and send and receive e-mail on your NETBOOK PRO you  
must have the following:  
1. An appropriate e-mail account.  
To access the Internet and use e-mail, you will need a standard  
e-mail account.  
2. A modem.  
You will need a modem to connect your NETBOOK PRO to the tele-  
phone network. You can use the following types of modem with your  
NETBOOK PRO:  
•
•
•
Standard external PC modems.  
PCMCIA- and CF-card modems.  
GSM radio modem, see “GSM/GPRS Radio Configuration” on page 80  
for details. These are available as PCMCIA and CF cards.  
•
Infrared-enabled or Bluetooth-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 account 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 account  
is ‘data-enabled’.

General Tips  
7.1 General Tips  
You should read this chapter if you have any questions or experience problems  
using your NETBOOK PRO.  
7.1.1 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  
NETBOOK PRO 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.  
7.1.2 If You Forget Your Password  
If you forget the power-on password, you will not be able to use the NETBOOK  
PRO unless you reload the operating system. To do this:  
1. Press a thin object such as an unfolded paper clip onto the reset switch.  
The NETBOOK PRO turns off.  
2. Press and hold the Ctrl, D, and On keys simultaneously. The  
NETBOOK PRO’s boot loader appears.  
3. Press the ! (exclamation mark) key. The NETBOOK PRO reloads its  
operating system and displays the Desktop.  
Warning:  
All installed programs and files in internal storage, except for those  
in the Flash folder, will be lost and cannot be retrieved. Registry  
entries will also be deleted.  
7.1.3 The NETBOOK PRO Doesn’t Turn On/Off

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting And Tips  
Resetting The NETBOOK PRO  
•
Recharge the main battery. If you continue to use the NETBOOK PRO  
when the main battery is low, it will eventually not have enough power and  
the NETBOOK PRO will switch off. You will not be able to switch it on  
again until you reconnect the AC power to recharge the battery, or replace  
the main battery with a charged one.  
If the NETBOOK PRO doesn't seem to turn off:  
•
Check the automatic switch off time using the Power icon from the  
Control Panel. See “Power Management” on page 14.  
7.1.4 Resetting The NETBOOK PRO  
If you find that you cannot exit a program normally, right-click or alt-tap on the  
taskbar and select Task Manager from the context menu. Select the task that  
appears to be unresponsive and click on the End Task button.  
Press Alt Tab or Ctrl Alt Delete briefly to bring up the task manager. This is useful  
when a misbehaving program is monopolizing system resources and slowing the  
system.  
Note: If you hold Ctrl Alt Delete for more than 3 seconds, the NETBOOK PRO  
will soft reset.  
If this does not work, or if your NETBOOK PRO appears to have “locked up”, you  
can always perform a “reset”. For instructions, please see “Performing A Soft  
Reset” on page 31. This should restart your NETBOOK PRO while preserving most  
of your information.  
It is worth trying a reset if the keys on the NETBOOK PRO do not appear to  
respond, or if the NETBOOK PRO appears to switch on and you are sure that the  
batteries are good, but the screen is otherwise blank.  
7.1.5 Battery Life Of The NETBOOK PRO  
Many variables affect NETBOOK PRO power consumption and battery life. Unlike  
batteries using other chemistries, Lithium Ion batteries do not suddenly fail unless  
they have been abused in some way. The battery capacity gradually reduces over the  
lifetime of the battery. Typically, the capacity of a NETBOOK PRO battery pack  
will decline by approximately 15-20% of initial capacity over 400 charge/discharge  
cycles. The battery capacity also declines slowly with aging, i.e. in storage.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting And Tips  
ActiveSync Connection Problems Using Windows® 95/98/NT 4.0  
Conventionally, the NETBOOK PRO battery pack is considered to have reached  
'end-of-life' when its capacity has declined to 50% of the pack’s initial capacity.  
Therefore, a NETBOOK PRO battery pack will typically reach its ‘end of life’ after  
approximately 1000 charging/discharge cycles (although the battery will still work  
for some time after this point).  
7.1.5.1 Charging Times  
The standard NETBOOK PRO battery charging solution does not use trickle charg-  
ing or fast charging. The NETBOOK PRO battery pack is charged at a constant rate.  
The actual charge time experienced is dependant on capacity of the battery pack and  
the ambient temperature. The approximate charging time is 3 to 4 hours.  
7.2 ActiveSync Connection Problems  
Using Windows® 95/98/NT 4.0  
This section is a guide to troubleshooting connection problems between a  
®
NETBOOK PRO 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 NETBOOK PRO 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 helpline.  
7.2.1 Tips When Installing ActiveSync  
Close any other programs that are running. This includes virus checkers, uninstall-  
ers, floating toolbars etc. If you need to re-install ActiveSync, make sure you unin-  
stall the previous version first.  
1. Click on the Start button and select Settings, then Control Panel.  
2. Double click the Add/Remove Programs icon. Select ActiveSync in  
the list and then click the Add/Remove button.  
Important: You must re-start your PC before re-installing ActiveSync or you  
will experience problems.

.
7.2.2 Basic Troubleshooting For Your NETBOOK PRO  
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 NETBOOK PRO.  
7.2.3 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.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting And Tips  
Basic Troubleshooting For Your PC  
•
•
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.  
•
Make sure that the correct connection  
type is checked.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting And Tips  
Device Conflicts  
•
It is possible for ActiveSync to conflict with a modem or mouse.  
Symptoms 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.  
7.2.4 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 dialog, check for  
icons marked with a  
symbol.  
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.

Device Conflicts  
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 dialog box. If you do not have this option or  
you are in any doubt about it, you should contact your Systems Admin-  
istrator.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting And Tips  
Fax/Modem On COM 1/2/3/4  
7.2.5 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 NETBOOK  
PRO.  
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  
NETBOOK PRO 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.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting And Tips  
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.  
7.2.6 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 dialog  
and click OK.

Temp Folder  
A screen with multiple windows is displayed.  
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. Select 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.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting And Tips  
Troubleshooting ActiveSync Synchronization Problems  
7.3 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  
NETBOOK PRO 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 5: “Using The PC Connection” first. These explain the correct way to set  
up a synchronization.  
7.3.1 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  
NETBOOK PRO correctly, verify that the e-mail addresses in the NETBOOK PRO  
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 NETBOOK PRO to resolve this issue.

Chapter 7: Troubleshooting And Tips  
Other Things To Try  
7.3.2 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 NETBOOK PRO 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 dialog.  
•
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  
NETBOOK PRO, the partnership will be created as “WindowsCE”.  
2. Make a new backup and recreate any synchronizations.
