Tips on using Smart Dialing
Smart Dialing starts looking for numbers or contacts that match the
sequence you have entered. Below are some tips on how to use Smart
Dialing to quickly find a desired phone number or contact.
To find a phone number
•
Simply enter the first one or two digits to find a phone number in
Call History.
•
Enter the first three digits or more if you want to find a phone
number from the saved contacts on your device and SIM card.
To find a contact name
You can just enter the first letter of a contact’s first name or surname.
Smart Dialing will search for the letter starting from the first character
of a contact name as well as from the character that appears after a
space, dash, or underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap
number “2” which is associated with [a, b, c] on the Phone keypad,
contact names such as the following will be considered matches: “Ben
Miller”, “George Adams”, “John-Carter”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”,
“Thomas_Clark”, “JaneCampbell”.
If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search
further, enter another letter. Using the same example above, if you
continue to tap “3” which is associated with [d, e, f], the matching list
will be narrowed down to the following names: “Ben Miller”, “George
Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”.

Calendar, or Tasks information, as well as media files, such as
pictures, video, and music between your device and your PC.
•
Synchronize Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar appointments,
and Tasks on your device directly with Exchange Server so that
you can stay up-to-date even when your PC is turned off.
•
•
Copy files between your device and your PC without
synchronizing.
Select which types of information are synchronized and specify
how much information is synchronized. For example, you can
choose how many weeks of past Calendar appointments to
synchronize.
•
Add and remove programs on your device. For details, see

synchronizes every time you make a change on either the PC or your
device.
To manually start and stop synchronization
1. Connect your device to the PC:
•
To synchronize Outlook information and other local information
on the PC, including media files, connect your device to the
PC using Bluetooth, infrared (IR) or a USB cable.

or with a combination of one or more PCs and Exchange Server. When
synchronizing with multiple computers, the items that you synchronize
will appear on all of the computers with which they are synchronized.
For example, if you have set up synchronization with two PCs (PC1
and PC2), which have different items, and you synchronize Contacts
and Calendar on your device with both computers, the result is as
follows:

To connect and synchronize your device with a computer via
Bluetooth, your computer must have a Bluetooth adapter or dongle.
4.4 Synchronizing Music, Video, and Pictures
If you want to carry your music or other digital media along with you
while you travel, ActiveSync works with Windows Media Player to
synchronize music, video, and pictures with your device.
Other than selecting the Media information type in ActiveSync to
be synchronized, all media synchronization settings must be set in
Windows Media Player. Before media can be synchronized, you must
do the following:
•
Install Windows Media Player Version 10 on the PC. (Windows
Media Player 10 works only in Windows XP or later versions).
•
Connect your device to the PC with a USB cable. If your device
is currently connected using Bluetooth or infrared, you must end
that connection before media can be synchronized.
•
•
Insert a Micro SD card into your device (32MB or larger is
recommended).
Set up a sync partnership between the Micro SD card and
Windows Media Player.
Change Media synchronization settings
Once you select the Media information type in ActiveSync to be
synchronized, any of your favorite music, video, and picture files in
Windows Media Player playlists can be synchronized. All you have to
do is set up synchronization in Windows Media Player for those media
files.

4.5 Setting Up E-mail Security
Windows Mobile on your device protects your Outlook e-mail through
Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (S/MIME), which allows
you to digitally sign your messages as well as encrypt them.
Using authorization keys and certificates, S/MIME allows you to
digitally sign your e-mail messages to prove your identity to the
recipients. Authorization keys are also used when encrypting
Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security 67
messages to improve privacy and prevent undue tampering or hacking
of your messages. You can encrypt a message with or without a
certificate. However, to read an encrypted message, you need a valid
certificate to decrypt it.
Note
S/MIME encryption and digital signatures for Windows Mobile-based
devices are available only with Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack
2 or a later version that supports S/MIME. If you are not using one
of these products, or have not yet synchronized, these options are
unavailable.
Digitally sign and encrypt all messages
ActiveSync allows you to set up S/MIME e-mail encryption and signing.
You must obtain a valid certificate to sign and encrypt e-mail messages
successfully.
1. Tap Start > Programs > ActiveSync.
2. Tap Menu > Options.
3. Select the E-mail information type, and tap Settings. On the E-
mail Sync Options screen, tap Advanced.
4. Do one or both of the following:
•

5.6 Resetting Your Pocket PC Phone
Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A normal (or soft)
reset of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down
all active programs. This can be useful when your device is running
slower than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft
reset is also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft
reset is performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be
lost.
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard
reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a
system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default
settings — the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it
on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you
customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software
and other pre-installed programs will remain.
To perform a soft reset

The manner in which you download messages depends on the type of
account you have:
•
To send and receive e-mail for an Outlook e-mail account, begin
synchronization through ActiveSync. For more information, see
“Set up Outlook e-mail” in this chapter.
•
To send and receive e-mail messages for an e-mail account that
you have with an ISP or that you access using a VPN server
connection (typically a work account), download messages
through a remote e-mail server. For more information, see “To
download messages from the server” later in this chapter.
•
Text messages are automatically received when phone is turned
on. When your phone is turned off (in flight mode), messages are
held by your service provider until the next time your phone is
turned on.
To download messages from the server
To send and receive e-mail messages for an e-mail account that you
have with an ISP or that you access using a VPN server connection
(typically a work account), you first need to connect to the Internet or
your corporate network, depending on the account.
1. Tap Menu > Go To and tap the account you want to use.
2. Tap Menu > Send/Receive. The messages on your device and
e-mail server are synchronized: new messages are downloaded
to the device Inbox folder, messages in the device Outbox folder
are sent, and messages that have been deleted from the server
are removed from the device Inbox folder.
Mail and Messaging 125
Tip
If you want to read the entire message, tap Menu > Download
Message while in the message window. If you are in the message list,
tap and hold the message, and tap Download Message. The message
will download the next time you send and receive e-mail. This will also
download message attachments if you selected those options when you
set up the e-mail account.
Individually sign and encrypt a message
Encrypting an Outlook e-mail message protects the privacy of
the message by converting it from plain, readable text into cipher
(scrambled) text. Only the recipient who has the authorization key can
decipher the message.
Digitally signing a message applies your certificate with the
authorization key to the message. This proves to the recipient that the
message is from you and not from an imposter or a hacker, and that
the message has not been altered.
To digitally sign and encrypt a new message
1. In the message list, tap Menu > Go To > Outlook E-mail.
2. Tap New.
3. Tap Menu > Message Options.
4. Select the Encrypt message and Sign message check boxes,
and tap OK.
126 Mail and Messaging
Verify the digital signature on a signed message you
receive
To verify a digital signature in the message that you receive, do
the following:
1. Open the Outlook e-mail message that has been digitally signed.
2. At the top of the message, tap View Signature Status.
3. Tap Menu > Check Certificate.
To view the details of the certificate in the message, tap Menu > View
Certificate.
Note
There can be several reasons why a digital signature is not valid.
For example, the sender’s certificate may have expired, it may have
been revoked by the certificate authority, or the server that verifies the
certificate is unavailable. Contact the sender to report the problem.
Manage folders
Each Messaging account has its own folder hierarchy with five default
Messaging folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, and Sent
Items. The messages you receive and send through the account are
stored in these folders. You can also create additional folders within
each hierarchy. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that
have been deleted on the device. The behavior of the Deleted Items
and Sent Items folders depends on the Messaging options you have
chosen.
Mail and Messaging 127
If you use an Outlook e-mail account, e-mail messages in the Inbox
folder in Outlook will be synchronized automatically with your device.
You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them
for synchronization. The folders you create and the messages you
move will then be mirrored on the e-mail 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 to that
folder. You can then read the messages while you are away from your
PC.
If you use a text message account, messages are stored in the Inbox
folder.
If you use a POP3 account and you move e-mail messages to a folder
you created, the link is broken between the messages on the device
and their copies on the e-mail server. The next time you connect, the
e-mail server will detect that the messages are missing from the Inbox
folder on the device and will delete them from the e-mail server. This
prevents 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 device.
If you use an IMAP4 account, the folders you create and the e-mail
messages you move are mirrored on the e-mail server. Therefore,
messages are available to you anytime you connect to your e-mail
server, whether it is from your device or PC. This synchronization of
folders occurs whenever you connect to your e-mail server, create new
folders, or rename/delete folders when connected. You can also set
different download options for each folder.

About the screens and menus
Windows Media Player has three primary screens:
•
Playback screen. The default screen that displays the playback
controls (such as Play, Pause, Next, Previous, and Volume) and
the video window. You can change the appearance of this screen
by choosing a different skin.
•
•
Now Playing screen. The screen that displays the Now Playing
playlist. This special playlist indicates the current file being played
and any files that are “queued up” to play next.
Library screen. The screen that lets you quickly find your audio
files, video files, and playlists. It contains categories such as My
Music, My Videos, My TV, and My Playlists.
At the bottom of each screen, you can open a Menu. The commands
on this menu vary, depending upon which screen you are viewing. For
more information about the commands in these menus, see Help on
your device.
About licenses and protected files
Some content (such as digital media files downloaded from the
Internet, CD tracks, and videos) have associated licenses that protect
them from being unlawfully distributed or shared. Licenses are created
and managed by using digital rights management (DRM), which is the
technology for securing content and managing its access rights. Some
licenses may prevent you from playing files that have been copied to
your device. Files that have licenses associated with them are called
“protected files.”
If you want to copy a protected file from your PC to your device, use
the desktop Player to synchronize the file to your device (instead of
dragging the file from a folder on your PC to a folder on your device,
for example). This will ensure that the license is copied along with the
protected file. For more information about synchronizing files to your
device and other mobile devices, see desktop Player Help.
Note
You can view the protection status for a file by checking its file
properties (tapping Menu > Properties).
176 Experiencing Multimedia
Copy files to your device
Use the latest version of the desktop Player (Windows Media Player
10 or later) to synchronize digital media files to your device (instead of
dragging a file from a folder on your PC to a folder on your device, for
example). Using the desktop Player ensures that licenses are copied
with protected files.
Always synchronize the files to a storage card that is inserted into
your device. Do not synchronize to a storage card that is inserted into
a storage card reader. In addition, do not synchronize to the internal
storage location (RAM) in your device.
To synchronize content to your device automatically
1. On your PC, start Windows Media Player.
2. Insert a 32 MB or larger storage card into your device, and then
connect your device to your PC.
3. If you have not set up synchronization between your device and
PC, the Device Setup Wizard opens on your PC.
4. In the wizard, click Automatic, select the Customize the
playlists that will be synchronized check box, and then select
the playlists that you want to synchronize.
5. Click Finish.
6. The files begin synchronizing to your device. The next time
you connect your device to your PC while the desktop version
of Windows Media Player is running, synchronization will start
automatically.
To synchronize and copy content manually to your device
1. If you have not set up synchronization between your device
and PC, follow steps 1 to 5 in “To synchronize content to your
device automatically”, except that you should click Manual
synchronization.
2. To choose files to synchronize and copy to your device, do the
following:

Federal Communications Commission Notice
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause
harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference
received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for
a Class B digital device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These
limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates,
uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed
and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful
interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee
that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this
equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or TV reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment on and off, the user
is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the
following measures:
•
•
•
Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
•
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television
technician for help.
Appendix 197
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or
modifications made to the device that are not expressly approved by
High Tech Computer Corp. may void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
Safety Precautions for RF Exposure
Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions
specified by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is
determined at the highest certified power level, the actual SAR level
of the phone while operation can be well below the maximum value.
This is because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power
levels so as to use only the power required to reach the network. In
general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the
lower the power output. Before a phone model is available for sale to
the public, it must be tested and certified to the FCC that it does not
exceed the limit established by the government-adopted requirement
for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations
(for example, at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the
FCC for each model. (Body-worn measurements may differ among
phone models, depending upon available accessories and FCC
requirements). For body-worn operation, to maintain compliance with
FCC RF exposure guidelines, use only High Tech Computer Corp.
approved accessories. When carrying the phone while it is on, use the
specific High Tech Computer Corp. supplied or approved carrying case,
holster, or other body-worn accessory.
Use of non High Tech Computer Corp. approved accessories may
violate FCC RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

safety information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference
with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with
the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless
Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
•
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
•
•
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the
potential for interference. If you have any reason to suspect that
interference is taking place, turn your phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In
the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service
provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from
external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in
obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted
in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may
be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy
.
Other tips and cautions
•
•
•
Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the
steel frame of a building).
Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources,
such as microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.
Avoid using your phone after a dramatic change in temperature.
