8.2 Working With Company E-mails

Your device gives you instant access to your company e-mails and lets you manage your messages easier. Direct Push, Fetch Mail, Remote e-mail search, and e-mail flags are just some of the tools you can use to manage your e-mails.

Note Some messaging features depend on the MIcrosoft Exchange Server version used in your company. Please check with your network administrator for the availability of these features.

Automatic synchronization through Direct Push

Direct Push technology (push e-mail feature) enables you to receive new e-mails on your device as soon as they arrive in your Inbox on the Exchange

Server. With this feature, items such as contacts, calendar and tasks are also immediately updated onto your device when these items have been changed or new entries have been added on the Exchange Server. To make

Direct Push work, you need to have a GPRS/EDGE connection on your device.

You need to perform a full synchronization between your device and the

Exchange Server first before Direct Push can be enabled.

Requirement The Direct Push feature works for your device only if your company is using Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2)

with Exchange ActiveSync or higher version or an equivalent push e-mail solution.

To enable Direct Push via Comm Manager

Adjust peak times to fit your schedule.


Instant download through Fetch Mail

The Fetch Mail feature downloads an entire e-mail immediately without the need for you to perform a full Send/Receive action. This limits the download to just the e-mail message that you want and helps save data cost.

Requirement Fetch Mail works for your device only if your company is using

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or higher.

1. Tap Start > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.

2. Tap an e-mail message to open it.

3. By default, only the first few kilobytes of the message is shown. To download the whole e-mail, scroll to the bottom of the message then tap Get the rest of this message.

8.5 E-mail Security

Windows Mobile® on your device protects your Outlook e-mails through

Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (S/MIME), which allows you to digitally sign and encrypt your messages.

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.

Encryption protects the privacy of your message by converting it from plain, readable text into cipher (scrambled) text. Only the recipient who has the authorization key can decipher the message.

Requirement S/MIME encryption and digital signatures for Windows Mobilebased devices are available only with Exchange Server 2003 SP2 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.


Note You can encrypt a message with or without a certificate. However, to read an encrypted message, you need a valid certificate to decrypt it.

To individually sign and encrypt a new message


2. Tap Menu > New to create a new message.

3. Tap Menu > Message Options.

4. From the Security list, select whether to encrypt only, sign the message only, or do both.

5. Tap OK.

To verify the digital signature on a signed message you receive

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.

To digitally sign and encrypt all messages

You can set up ActiveSync to digitally sign and encrypt all outgoing messages. You must obtain a valid certificate to sign and encrypt e-mail messages successfully.



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:

• To sign all your outgoing e-mail messages so that recipients can be certain that the messages were sent by you and have not been altered in any way, select the Sign all outgoing e-mail messages check box.

• To encrypt all your outgoing e-mail messages so that the contents of your messages are protected from being viewed by anyone other than the intended recipients, select the Encrypt all

outgoing e-mail messages check box.

5. Tap Choose Certificate to select a certificate for signing or encrypting outgoing e-mail messages.


Set permissions on an e-mail message

Another way of protecting your e-mail messages is to send messages with restricted permissons using Information Rights Management (IRM).

Requirement This works only with a Microsoft Outlook e-mail account and if your company is using RMS Server SP1.


2. Create a message, then tap Menu > Message Options.

3. In Permissions, do one of the following:

• To allow anyone to read the message, select Unrestricted access.

• To prevent the message from being forwarded, printed, or copied, select Do not forward.

9.6 Using Bluetooth

Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information within a distance of about 10 meters without requiring a physical connection. You can even beam information to a device in a different room, as long as it is within the

Bluetooth signal coverage range.

Bluetooth can be used in the following ways:

• Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and contact cards, between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.

• Synchronize information between your device and computer via

Bluetooth.

• Use a Bluetooth-enabled headset (or other Bluetooth-enabled handsfree device such as a car kit) with your device for hands-free phone conversations.

• Use a Bluetooth service. Once you connect to another device or computer using Bluetooth, you can locate and use any of the services available on that device.

• Create a connection between your device and another Bluetoothenabled phone to use that phone as a modem.

Note Normally, you will need another phone as a modem only if your Pocket PC device has no integrated phone capability.


Bluetooth modes

Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:

• On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetoothenabled devices, but not vice versa.

• Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive information using Bluetooth. You might want to turn

Bluetooth off at times in order to conserve battery power, or in situations where using a wireless device is prohibited, such as on board an aircraft and in hospitals.

• Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices can detect your device.

About the screens and menus

Windows Media Player Mobile 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).


Copy media 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. Power off your device. Insert a 32-MB or larger storage card into your device, and turn the power back on.

2. On your PC, start Windows Media Player.

3. Connect your device to your PC.

4. If you have not set up synchronization between your device and PC, the Device Setup Wizard opens on your PC.

5. 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.

6. Click Finish.

7. 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 6 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:

• Click the Library tab.

• In the rightmost pane, click the drop-down list and select Sync

List.

Playlist


• In the Playlist which is the leftmost pane, select a desired playlist.

• In the File List which is the middle pane, multi-select desired files then drag them to the Sync List.

14.5 Resetting Your PDA 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

• Use the stylus to press the RESET button found on the back of the device. Your device restarts and displays the Today screen.

RESET button

To perform a hard reset

Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Please ensure any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up before a hard reset is performed.

1. Slide the Volume slider down and at the same time, use the stylus to press the RESET button at the back of your device.

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 235

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

Corporation 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 bodyworn 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.

SAR Information

• 0.482 W/Kg@1g (FCC)

236 Appendix

Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) 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.

Pacemakers

• 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.
