Your Velo 1 uses Microsoft Windows CE, which is based on the
Microsoft Windows 95 operating system. It includes familiar
components such as the Start button and Start menu, taskbar,
desktop, browser, menu bar and toolbar, Control Panel, and
shortcuts.

manage your schedule, retrieve and store information,

Web. These programs work alone and in conjunction with your
desktop computer. You can synchronize Schedule+ information
and transfer files between your handheld PC (H/PC) and your
desktop computer to ensure you’re always working with current
information.

Tips for Using Your Velo 1
• Press the Power button to turn your H/PC on and off. If you go
several minutes without working on your Velo 1, it will preserve
your work and suspend itself, shutting off automatically. Just press
the Power button to start working right where you left off.
• You should use the supplied stylus to touch the screen. There’s no
harm in using your fingertip, but many features require the stylus for
finer pointing.
Warning:  Don’t use sharp implements, such as keys or pens, to
touch the screen. These objects can damage the screen.
• The Velo 1 includes a built-in modem for connecting to a
telephone line. You can use the modem to explore the Internet,
send and receive e–mail, send faxes, and connect to other
services. Simply plug a standard telephone line into the RJ-11 jack
to the left of the screen (see the figure on page 37).
Note: The built-in modem is designed for use only in the U.S. To use
the built-in modem on your Velo 1, you must select Internal modem
on COM 4 when creating a new dial-up connection.
