Introduction
The Philips Velo™ 1 is a handheld PC (H/PC), a kind of computer
that you can carry with you and use almost anywhere. It allows you
to keep track of your appointments, take files with you, send and
receive e-mail, connect to the World Wide Web, and much more.
Your package includes the following compact discs:
wThe Microsoft
® Windows® CE compact disc. This CD
contains Windows CE
® Services 2.0 with ActiveSync™
software for your desktop computer. With Windows CE
Services, you can browse the contents of your Velo 1 from
your desktop computer using My Computer or Windows
Explorer. ActiveSync enables you to synchronize files and
e-mail messages, as well as PIM data, and offers continuous
background synchronization. The Windows CE Services
compact disc also includes optional system extensions for
Windows 95 or Windows NT
® and optional Microsoft
programs for your Velo 1.
wThe Philips Velo 1 Upgrade compact disc. This disc
includes programs and components of the Velo 1 applica-
tions and operating system.
Important: You’ll need to install the software on both of these CDs.
Instructions for installing the software on these discs are provided in this
booklet.
This booklet is designed to get you up and running with your Velo 1
as quickly as possible. It also provides a brief overview of the
operating system features and programs.
For additional help with installation, contact Philips technical support
at 1-888-275-8356, or visit Philips on the World Wide Web at:

Philips Velo™1 User’s Guide
Step 1:  Set Up Your Velo 1 for the Upgrade
Important: If you purchased the Velo 1 with 12 MB of DRAM and
the Microsoft Windows CE 2.0 Upgrade Card already installed, go to
page 13.
If you purchased the Microsoft Windows CE 2.0 Upgrade Kit, you
will complete these steps:
• Save your Velo 1 data
• Remove all the batteries from your Velo 1.
• Install the Windows CE 2.0 ROM Miniature Card.
• Install more RAM in your Velo 1.
• Reinsert all the batteries.
1a: Save your Velo 1 data.
Before you install the Windows CE 2.0 ROM Miniature Card, you
must back up all data on your Velo 1. When you install the ROM
Miniature Card, all programs, settings, files, and PIM data
(Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks information) on your Velo 1 will be
erased. Many of these items cannot be restored from a
backup file unless you follow the procedures below, which
explain how to back up all information on your Velo 1 to ensure
that no data is lost. After you have installed the upgrades on both
your Velo 1 and desktop computer, you will restore your data as
described in “Step 5: Retrieve Your Data.”
Programs — After you complete the upgrade, you will need to
reinstall any programs you’ve added to your Velo 1 from the
original source. In some cases, existing programs may not be
compatible with Windows CE 2.0. Check with the program’s
manufacturer to find out if you need a new version.
Settings — Program and device settings will be lost during the
upgrade. Before you upgrade, write down any important settings,
such as TCP/IP and network settings for remote connections,
settings for Inbox services, alarms and reminders, desktop
patterns, and sound schemes. 
						

							9
Files — Documents and data files can be backed up using H/PC
Explorer; however, because Windows CE 2.0 and its components
require more storage memory than the original version, you may not
have enough memory to complete the upgrade. To ensure that
no data is lost, you should back up or copy individual files,
including data on a flash miniature card, if you have one,
onto your desktop computer.
To back up individual files
1On your desktop computer, create a new folder in which
to save the backed-up files.
2Connect your Velo 1 to your desktop computer, and start
H/PC Explorer.
3In H/PC Explorer, select the files and folders you want to
back up, and drag them to the folder you created, or use
the Cut and Paste commands to move the files from your
Velo 1 to the backup folder.
PIM data — PIM data can be preserved by synchronizing your
Velo 1 with Microsoft Schedule+ or Microsoft Outlook™ on your
desktop computer immediately before upgrading.
To synchronize PIM data
1Connect your Velo 1 to your desktop computer and start
H/PC Explorer.
If you have set H/PC Explorer to synchronize on
connecting, synchronization will take place automatically.
2If you have not set H/PC Explorer to synchronize on
connecting, in H/PC Explorer on your desktop computer,
click Synchronize Now on the Tools menu.
