You can perform three basic actions using the stylus:  
Tap—Lightly touch the screen to select or open an item. Lift the  
stylus after you tap an item. Tapping is equivalent to clicking an  
item with the mouse on your computer.

item across the screen without lifting the stylus until you have  
completed the selection. Dragging is equivalent to dragging with  
the left mouse button pressed on your computer.  
Tap and hold—Hold the stylus pointer on an item for a short  
time until a menu displays. Tapping and holding is equivalent to  
right-clicking your computer mouse button. When you tap and  
hold, a circle of red dots appears around the stylus to indicate that  
the menu will soon pop up.

Files, Notes, and AvantGo).  
Note: When you synchronize files, you can drag and drop the  
selected files from your computer to the synchronized folder on  
your iPAQ Pocket PC. If you named your device “PC1” when you  
created your partnership, then the synchronized folder is named  
“PC1.” When you synchronize, the files move to and from your  
iPAQ Pocket PC.  
Using the Serial Infrared (IR) Connection  
As an alternative to using the desktop cradle, you can synchronize  
your iPAQ Pocket PC and your computer using an infrared  
connection if you have an infrared port or an infrared USB

option works only on computers that have Microsoft Windows  
98SE, Me, 2000, or XP operating systems installed.  
To set up an infrared connection to a computer:  
1. Synchronize your iPAQ Pocket PC with your computer using  
the desktop cradle before the first time you establish an  
ActiveSync connection via infrared.  
2. Follow your computer manufacturer’s instructions to install  
and set up an infrared port.

Managing the Battery  
Installing the Battery  
The Pocket PC has a small internal backup battery that allows  
you to change the main battery without losing RAM data  
(user-installed programs and data) as long as it is replaced  
immediately.  
It is recommended that you fully charge the iPAQ Pocket PC  
battery before setting up the unit, and recharge regularly. Your  
Pocket PC uses some power to maintain files in RAM and the  
clock. While working at your desk, keep the Pocket PC and  
Charger Adapter connected through the desktop cradle. When  
you travel, it is recommended that you carry the AC Adapter,  
Charger Adapter plug, or an optional spare battery with you.  
Your iPAQ Pocket PC is shipped with the battery partially  
charged.

Pairing Devices  
You can pair devices so they must exchange a computer generated  
security key prior to each connection. The security key is also  
called a “Link Key.” It is generated from a unique Bluetooth  
device address, a random number, and a user-defined password.  
After two devices are paired, they have a trusted relationship with  
each other that can be verified using a link key. No additional  
input is needed from the user. Therefore, connections and  
activities can be performed between the paired devices without  
constant authorization from the user.  
To pair devices:  
1. From the Today screen, tap Start > Bluetooth Manager.
