In any program that accepts writing—such as the Notes program and the 
Notes tab in Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks—you can use your stylus to write 
directly on the screen. Write the way you do on paper. You can edit and format 
what you have written and convert the information to text later.
To write on the screen, tap the Pen button to switch from tapping to writing 
mode. This action displays lines on the screen to help you write.
Some programs that accept writing may not have the Pen button. See the 
documentation for that program to find out how to switch to writing mode.
If you want to edit or format writing, you must select it first.
To select writing:
)Press and hold the stylus next to the text you want to select until the 
insertion point appears.
*Without lifting, drag the stylus across the text you want to select.
If you write accidentally on the screen, tap Tools, then Undo, and try again. 
You can also select text by tapping the Pen button to deselect it and then 
dragging the stylus across the screen.

You can cut, copy, and paste written text in the same way you work with typed 
text: press and hold the stylus on the selected words and then tap an editing 
command on the pop-up menu, or tap the command on the Edit menu.
To convert writing to text, tap Recognize on the Tools menu.
If you want to convert only certain words, select them before tapping 
Recognize on the Toolsmenu (or press and hold the selected words and then 
tapRecognize on the pop-up menu). If a word is not recognized, it is left as 
writing.

If the conversion is incorrect, you can select different words from a list of 
alternates or return to the original writing. To do so, press and hold the 
incorrect word (tap one word at a time). On the pop-up menu, tap Alternates.
A menu with a list of alternate words appears. Tap the word you want to use, or 
tap the writing at the top of the menu to return to the original writing.
Some tips for getting good recognition are listed below:
• Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Write the cross of the 
“t” and apostrophes below the top line so that they are not confused with 
the word above. Write periods and commas above the line.
For better recognition, use the Tools menu to increase the zoom level to 300%.
• Write the letters of a word close together and leave big gaps between words.
• Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as 
accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.
• If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a “3” to an “8”) 
after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will not be 
included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.

You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. The 
difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items 
and how they can be edited. For example, selected drawings can be resized, 
while writing cannot.
To create a drawing, cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box 
appears. Drawings that do not cross three ruled lines will be treated as writing.
You may want to change the zoom level so that you can more easily work on or 
view your drawing. Tap Tools, then choose a zoom level.
If you want to edit or format a drawing, you must select it first.
To select a drawing, press and hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection 
handle appears. To select multiple drawings, deselect the Pen button and then 
drag to select the drawings you want.
You can cut, copy, and paste selected drawings by pressing and holding the 
selected drawing and then tapping an editing command on the pop-up menu, or 
by tapping the command on the Editmenu. To resize a drawing, make sure the 
Pen button is not selected, and then drag a selection handle.

In any program where you can write or draw on the screen, you can also 
quickly capture thoughts, reminders, and phone numbers by recording a 
message. In Calendar, Tasks, and Contacts, you can include a recording in the 
Notes tab. In the Notes program, you can either create a stand-alone 
recording or include a recording in a written note. If you want to include the 
recording in a note, open the note first. In the Inbox program, you can add a 
recording to an email message.
To create a recording:
)Hold the V37’s microphone about three inches from your mouth.
*Press and hold the record button on the left side of the unit. If the speaker is 
not muted, a beep indicates that your V37 is recording. The notification LED 
at the top of the unit glows red while recording is in progress.
While holding down the record button, speak into the microphone.
/To stop recording, release the record button. Two beeps will sound. The new 
recording appears in the note list or as an embedded icon.
NOTE: You can also make a recording by tapping the Record button on the 
Recording toolbar. 
To play a recording:
• Tap it in the list or tap its icon in the note.

Your V37 supports several formats for voice notes. The formats vary in both the 
quality of the recording and the size of the sound file. When selecting a 
recording format, you should consider the quality you need as well as how 
much storage memory the recording will use on your V37.
Not all recording formats are compatible with other software or computers. If 
you will share your recordings with others or transfer a recording to your PC, be 
sure to choose a recording format that is supported by the software used to 
play recordings on the other computer.
To select a recording format:
)On the Start menu, tap Settings, and then tap the Input icon.
*On the Options tab in the Input control panel, select a voice recording 
format from the drop-down list.
The list of recording formats on your V37 indicates the sample rate, whether 
the format is stereo or mono, and how much storage memory is required per 
second of recording. You may need to experiment with different sample rates 
and formats to determine which format best suits your voice.

When using Inbox, use My Text to quickly insert preset or frequently used 
messages into the text entry area. To insert a message, tap My Text, and then 
tap a message.
NOTE: After inserting a My Text message, you can add text to it before you 
send the message.
To edit a My Text message, on the Tools menu, tap Edit My Text Messages.
Select the message you wish to edit and make desired changes.

This chapter tells you how to effectively manage power and memory, and how 
to add/remove programs and back up your data.

.
It is important to maintain a continuous power supply to the V37 to prevent 
data or files stored in RAM from being damaged. Your V37 can operate either on 
external AC power or internal battery power. Note that you will lose any 
information, programs or settings that you have added if the battery completely 
runs out of power.
A fully charged battery should provide power for up to 8 hours of use. The 
operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using the 
V37. Using some functions, such as some of the multimedia features or a 
Secure Digital card, may consume extra battery power.
You should recharge the battery when a warning of low power is displayed on 
your V37, or the V37 will turn off automatically. You will need to connect the 
V37 to external AC power for charging before you can use it again.
See Chapter 1 for information about powering on your V37.
To check the remaining power:
)On the Start menu, tap Settings.
*On the System tab, tap the Power icon.
The remaining power is displayed on a status bar in the Power control panel.
.;


Follow these suggestions to maximize the battery’s operating time:
•Turn off the backlight. Press and hold the power button to turn off the 
backlight, or use the Backlight control panel to set the backlight to turn off 
automatically after a short period of inactivity. 
						

							*
			
	

			

•Suspend frequently. Use the Power control panel to shorten the length of 
continuous idle time before your V37 auto-suspends. Press the power button 
to turn off your V37 when it is not in use, even for a short time.
•Always use AC power when connecting your V37 to your PC. Note 
that your V37 will not auto-suspend while it is connected.
•Turn off sounds. Use the Sounds & Notifications control panel to turn off all 
but the most necessary system sounds.
•Avoid using memory card accessories while on battery power. Some 
memory cards use considerable power and will quickly drain your battery.
•Do not “listen” for infrared transfers. Although you can set your Pocket 
PC to constantly monitor the IR port for files sent from other devices, doing 
so will quickly drain your batteries.

!
Your V37 uses two kinds of memory: storage and program memory (RAM), and 
optional memory cards.
!!
RAM (Random Access Memory) on your V37 is shared between storage memory 
and program memory. “Storage memory” is used to store the data you create 
and additional programs you install. “Program memory” is used to run 
programs on your V37. Your V37 automatically manages the allocation between 
storage and program memory. However, in some situations, such as when the 
memory is running out, your V37 may not be able to automatically adjust the 
allocation.
!


Memory cards are small, removable flash storage cards that enable you to 
expand the memory of your V37. You can use memory cards for backup 
storage, archives, or to transfer large files to other devices. Your V37 supports  
Secure Digital memory cards. Memory cards can be purchased from a variety of 
third-party vendors.

The V37 has 64 MB of SDRAM memory:
• For the USA and European models: 27.5 MB is used by the Pocket PC 2002 
Operating System, applications, and drivers.
For the Asian models: 35.5 MB is used by the Pocket PC 2002 Operating 
System, applications, and drivers.
• The remaining memory is available for user applications and file storage: 
36.5MB for the USA and Europe V37 models and 28.5MB for the Asian V37 
models.

Memory Map for 64MB SDRAM :
NOTE:  The USA and European V37 models have  an additional  36 MB of Flash 
ROM memory available for  file  storage called My Flash Disk.
The Asian V37 models have an additional 31 MB of Flash ROM memory available 
for file storage. This additional Flash ROM is smaller because the Asian 
operating systems require more space.
