USB Cradle 
  
• 
Your Pocket PC Phone comes with a USB cradle. This allows you to 
recharge your Pocket PC Phone, as well as synchronize information 
between your Pocket PC Phone and a PC using ActiveSync.  
 To synchronize, plug the USB cradle into an available USB port 
on your PC. 
 
Temperature and Battery Life 
Your Pocket PC Phone contains a rechargeable Lithium Polymer battery, which is housed permanently in your Pocket PC Phone. 
After a few years of continual use and recharging the battery will become unusable and should be changed through a service 
center. While you are using your Pocket PC Phone the amount of power consumed depends on whether you are talking on the 
phone, using the PIM and Internet functions or the Pocket PC Phone is on standby. The estimates for battery life (talk time: 4~5 
hours, PIM: 15-17 hours and standby: 150 -170 hours) are based on only using one function. Since you will be continually 
swapping between functions, these estimates will vary.

 Your Pocket PC Phone contains a Lithium Polymer battery pack. There is a risk of fire and burns if the 
battery pack is handled improperly. Do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose 
of in fire or water. Do not attempt to open or service the battery pack. Replace only with the battery pack 
designated for this product. Dispose of batteries properly. 
 
Recharging the Battery 
Remembering to charge your battery is extremely important, as your Pocket PC Phone does not have a hard drive. All your data 
and any new programs you install are stored in Random Access Memory (RAM). In the event that the battery loses all its power, 
personal data and newly installed software programs will be wiped off.   Only the default programs installed when you bought the 
Pocket PC Phone will remain. You can recharge your Pocket PC Phone in the following ways: 
 
  
• Place your Pocket PC Phone in the 
cradle and connect the cradle to an 
external power source. The first time 
you use it initially charge for three to 
four hours. Then place your Pocket PC 
Phone in the cradle for a short time each 
day to recharge to its full capacity.  
  
• 
You can plug the AC adapter into the 
optional USB/Serial cable head and then 
connect your Pocket PC Phone directly 
to an external power source.

and then connect your Pocket 
PC Phone directly to an external 
power source. 
 
When Your Battery Is Low 
Your Pocket PC Phone has only one battery; however, a portion of that battery is saved as backup. If the battery gets very low, 
your Pocket PC Phone displays a warning message. If this occurs, save any unsaved data you are working on, perform 
synchronization with your PC and then turn off your Pocket PC Phone. Do not try to restart your Pocket PC Phone until you have 
connected to external power. If your Pocket PC Phone does shut down, the backup portion of your battery will protect your data 
for approximately 72 hours.  
 
Optional Accessories 
SD and MMC Cards 
Your Pocket PC Phone has an expansion slot compatible with a range of SD and MMC memory cards, which are primarily used 
to back up or transfer files and data.  
 
Inserting or removing a memory card 
 
  
 
1.    Push the memory card into the bottom slot until it clicks into place. 
The card is secure when it is not protruding from the base. 
 
 
External Battery 
You can purchase an optional External Battery to increase the battery life of your Pocket PC Phone by up to another 4 hours, and 
standby time by another 150 hours. The External Battery can be charged with either your Pocket PC Phone or with an External 
Battery charger. Charging with the External Battery charger should take about two and a half hours; when it is attached to the 
Pocket PC Phone, total charging for the External Battery and Pocket PC Phone should be approximately five hours.  
  
						

							Page 14  Attaching the External Battery 
 
  
 
1.  Remove the rubber cap protecting the Pocket PC Phone 
connector for the External Battery.  The cap is situated just 
below the right screw on the back of the Pocket PC Phone.
2.  Hook the External Battery into the embedded slot near the 
base of the back of your Pocket PC Phone (see picture to the 
left). 
3.  Tighten the screws at the top of the External Battery into 
your Pocket PC Phone.

Chapter 3: Knowing Your Pocket PC Phone 
Resetting the Pocket PC Phone and Clearing Memory  
You can perform a soft reset or a full reset – a soft reset restarts your Pocket PC Phone and a full reset switches the battery off. The 
result of a soft reset is that some data may be lost in programs that are open.  The result of a full reset is wiping all the data and 
new programs you have added - and returning the Pocket PC Phone to factory settings – which will only have the software that 
was present when you bought it. Therefore, it is important not to think about a full reset as you would restarting, shutting down or 
even switching off your desktop PC, but rather like a complete crash requiring you to wipe your operating system (OS). The 
importance of backing up data to an SD card or your computer cannot be stressed enough - in the event you have to perform a full 
reset your data will not be lost.   
To perform a soft reset 
If your Pocket PC Phone responds slowly, stops responding or freezes, try soft resetting it. A soft reset causes the Pocket PC 
Phone to restart and re-adjust memory allocation. Unsaved data in open windows may be lost. 
 
• Use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button for about two seconds. (For details on finding soft reset, see “Chapter 2, 
Bottom Edge Components.”) 
To perform a full reset 
 
 Clearing memory deletes all data and restores the Pocket PC Phone to its default settings. Programs installed at the 
factory remain, while data you have created and programs you have installed are erased. 
  
  
1.  Unscrew the stylus and use the smaller point of the top-half.

2.  Press the battery switch once to turn it off, and then once 
more to turn it back on. 
Backing Up Files 
Because any new programs or data are stored in RAM and will be lost if you have to perform a full reset, or your Pocket PC Phone 
loses all power for any other reason, it is absolutely paramount that you back up files to your computer or a memory card. When 
you are at your desktop PC you can synchronize with your computer to back up files. However, if you are unable to access your 
desktop PC, you will need to back up files to a SD or MMC card. In this case, you can back up individual files in Word or Excel 
or all files in SD backup. 
To save Word or Excel files to a memory card 
 
 
 
  
 
 
1.  In application programs (e.g. Pocket Word or Excel) press To o l s ,  
Options. 
 
2.  Tap the drop-down menu box under Save To and select Storage Card.  
						

							Page 18  Back up or restore your system using SD Backup 
 
 
 
1.  Push the memory card into the slot until it clicks into place (see 
Chapter 2, “Inserting or removing a memory card”). The card is 
secure when it is not protruding from the base. 
 
2. Tap 
, Programs,  (SD Backup) then the Backup or Restore
tab. 
 
3. Tap Open, Storage Card. 
 
4.  Make sure there are no application programs running in the 
background, and then tap St art. 
 
 
 
Screen Tapping Calibration and Recalibration 
When you first start up your Pocket PC Phone, you will be asked to calibrate the screen by tapping the center of a cross with your 
stylus as it moves around the screen. This process ensures when you tap the screen with your stylus the item tapped is activated.  
If you are using your Pocket PC Phone and you discover tapping an item does not bring up the appropriate response, your Pocket 
PC Phone has lost its calibration. 
 
To recalibrate the screen 
 
   
• 
Tap Settings, System and then Screen. 
• 
As described above, tap the center of the cross to with your 
stylus as it moves around the screen.  
• Tap. Touch the screen once with the stylus to open items and 
select options. 
• 
Drag. Hold the stylus on the screen and drag across the screen 
to select text and images. Drag in a list to select multiple items.
• Tap and hold. Tap and hold the stylus on an item to see a list o
f 
actions available for that item. On the pop-up menu that 
appears, tap the action you want to perform.

Programs, and then the program name. 
  
You can also switch to some programs by pressing a program button. Your Pocket PC Phone has one or more program buttons 
located on the front or side of the Pocket PC Phone. The icons on the buttons identify the programs they switch to.  
 
 Some programs have abbreviated labels for check boxes and drop-down 
menus. To see the full spelling of an abbreviated label, tap and hold the
