Using the Stylus

On your device, use the stylus to select items just as you would use a mouse on your personal computer.

• 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 the stylus in a list to select multiple items. If you select an item by accident, drag the stylus away from the item to deselect.

• Tap and Hold—Tap and hold the stylus on an item to see a pop-up menu for that item. Before the menu appears, you will see a blue circle of dots that indicates you are opening a menu. On the pop-up menu that appears, tap the action you want to perform.

Pop-up Menus

Pop-up menus allow you to perform actions quickly and easily. For example, you can open a pop-up menu in the Contact list and quickly delete a contact, make a copy of a contact, or send an e-mail message to a contact. The actions in pop-up menus vary from program to program. To access a pop-up menu, tap and hold the stylus on any item in a list. A blue circle of dots appears to show you where you are pressing on the screen. When the menu appears, lift the stylus and tap the action you want to perform. Tap anywhere outside the menu to close the menu without selecting any of the options.

An example of a pop-up menu.

Notifications

Your iQue M5 helps you remember appointments, tasks, and alarms in a variety of ways. You may see or hear any of the following notifications:

• A message box that appears on the screen.

• A sound (which you can specify). You can also set the unit to vibrate instead of playing a sound.

• A flashing light on the upper right-hand corner of the iQue M5.

“To change notifications”

in Chapter 10 to change the way your iQue M5 notifies you of upcoming events.

Resetting the iQue M5

You may need to reset your device if it stops responding to stylus taps or button presses or if it stops functioning normally. A “soft” reset is much like rebooting your personal computer.

To reset your device (soft):

Use the stylus to press and quickly release the Reset button on the bottom of your device.

A “hard” reset erases all entries, records, and settings in your device (erases all data stored in RAM).

IMPORTANT: Use a hard reset only if your device malfunctions severely or if a soft reset does not correct your problem.

To reset your device (hard):

1. Press and hold the REC and Contacts buttons while you press the Reset button with the stylus.

2. Release the Reset button first. Then release the REC and Contact buttons. A blue screen appears asking “Delete all your programs, data, and settings in memory?”

3. Press the Que button to select Yes or the Calendar button to select No. If you select Yes, another question appears: “Also delete all your permanent storage?” Select Yes to delete contacts, appointments, and other PIM data. The iQue M5 resets itself.

The Today Screen

When you turn on your device for the first time each day (or after 4 hours of inactivity), you will see the Today screen. You can also display it by tapping Start and then Today. On the Today screen, you can see important information for the day at a glance.

Using Microsoft ® ActiveSync ® , you can synchronize the information on your desktop computer with the information on your iQue

M5. Synchronization compares the data on your iQue M5 with your desktop computer and updates both computers with the most recent information.

With ActiveSync, you can manage what information is stored on your iQue M5:

• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized.

• Control when synchronization happens.

• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and desktop computer.

• Add or remove programs.

• Back up and restore data.

• Synchronize remotely or with an Exchange server.

You should have already installed ActiveSync on your desktop computer and synchronized for the first time. If you have not done this, please refer to the Setup Guide included with the Setup DVD for instructions.

Choosing What Data to Synchronize

Because your iQue M5 has a limited amount of storage space (64 MB RAM), we recommend that you limit the amount of information you synchronize or store. For example, you can limit the number of Calendar appointments you synchronize between your desktop and your iQue M5 to save storage space. You can change these settings on your desktop computer.

To change what types of information to synchronize:

1. Open Microsoft ActiveSync on your desktop computer.

2. Click Options.

3. Click to check the box next to each type of information you want to share between your desktop computer and your iQue M5.

4. Click OK.

To limit how much information is synchronized:

1. From ActiveSync on your desktop computer, click Options.

Choosing When to Synchronize

You may find that you want to synchronize less frequently or only at certain times. You can control how often you would like to synchronize information by changing settings in ActiveSync on your desktop computer.

To change when synchronization happens:

1. Open Microsoft ActiveSync on your desktop computer.

2. Click Options and then the Schedule tab.

3. Click to choose how often you would like to synchronize information. If you choose “Synchronize manually,” you must open ActiveSync and click Sync each time you want to synchronize data.

4. Click OK.

Changing when synchronization happens

Moving Files

You may want to move files or folders between your desktop and your iQue M5 without having to synchronize that information.

This works well for files you do not need to update or for files that you cannot synchronize, like pictures. Moving files and folders onto your iQue M5 is just like moving them from one location to another on your personal computer. For more help, refer to your desktop computer help files.

NOTE: You may have trouble transferring large files (> 50 MB) to your SD card. This is best done with a separate data card reader, rather than transferring them directly to the card in your iQue M5.

To move files or folders:

1. Open ActiveSync on your desktop computer.

2. Click Explore. This window shows all files and folders stored on your iQue M5.

3. To move files to your iQue M5, click and drag files or folders from your desktop computer to this window. You can also Cut, Copy, and

Paste to move files.

4. To move files to your desktop computer, click and drag files or folders from this window to your desktop computer. You can also Cut,

Copy, and Paste.

NOTE: ActiveSync may need to convert files when synchronizing between your mobile device and the desktop computer.

A converted file may not contain all the information found in the original file.

Adding and Removing Programs

Programs added to your iQue M5 at the factory are stored in ROM (read-only memory). You cannot remove this software, and you will never accidentally lose ROM contents. All other programs and data files added to your device after factory installation are stored in RAM (random access memory), including any software you load from the Setup DVD.

You can install any program created for your iQue M5, as long as it has enough memory. The program must be compatible with an

ARM processor, or it will not work on your iQue M5. Look for programs online at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile .

To add programs:

1. Be sure this program is compatible with your iQue M5 (ARM processor).

2. Download the program to your desktop computer (or insert the CD or disk that contains the program into your desktop computer). You may see a single *.cab, *.xip, *.exe, or *.zip file, a Setup.exe file, or several versions of files for different device types and processors. Be sure to select the program designed for ARM devices.

3. Read any installation instructions, Read Me files, or documentation that comes with the program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.

4. Connect your device to your desktop computer.

5. Double-click the *.exe file.

NOTE: If the file is an installer, the installation wizard will begin. Follow the directions on the screen. After the software has been installed on your desktop computer, the installer will automatically transfer the software to your device.

NOTE: If the file is not an installer, you will see an error message stating that the program is valid but it is designed for a different type of computer. You will need to move this file to your device. See

“Moving Files.”

6. After installation is complete, tap Programs, and then the program icon to open.

To add programs directly from the Internet:

1. Open Pocket Internet Explorer on your iQue M5 and connect to the Internet to search for programs you want to download.

Backing Up Files and Settings

It is important to back up your iQue M5 files and settings periodically. When you back up files with ActiveSync, you will store an

“image” of what files, folders, and settings are like on your iQue M5. Then, if you lose data for some reason, you can restore your iQue to the last “image” you saved.

You can also back up files and settings on an SD card or in safe storage on your iQue M5. To do so, use Sprite Backup software as

described in Chapter 9.

Backing up files from your iQue M5 to your computer

To back up files and settings:


2. From the Tools menu, choose Backup/Restore.

3. Choose whether you want to do a full backup (saves all information) or an incremental backup (saves any information that has changed since last backup).

4. Choose where you want to save the back up file. If you want to back up your iQue M5 each time you synchronize, check the box next to

“Automatically back up each time the device connects.”

5. Click Back Up Now.

NOTE: Do not use your iQue M5 before you are finished backing up files. If you do, the back up process may fail.

To restore your iQue M5 to the last backup state:


2. From the Tools menu, choose Backup/Restore. Click the Restore tab.

3. Click Restore Now.

NOTE: Any information that has changed on your iQue M5 since your last backup will be erased by the restore process.

Saving vCard (.VCF) Attachments

vCards are electronic business cards—a powerful new means of Personal Data Interchange (PDI) and a way to automate the traditional business card. Using vCards with Pocket PC is easy: when you receive these files as e-mail attachments, simply save them to your Contacts database.

To save vCards as Contacts:

1. Open an email with a vCard attachment (.vcf) and tap the attachment.

2. Tap Yes to save the contact to your Contacts database.

Synchronizing E-mail Messages

E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. You need to enable Inbox synchronization in

ActiveSync. For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see “Choosing What Data to Synchronize,” Chapter 2

.

During synchronization, messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your desktop computer to the

ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your device. By default, you will receive messages from the past three days only, the first 100 lines of each message, and file attachments of less than 100 KB in size. E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from those programs. E-mail messages in subfolders must be selected in

ActiveSync on your desktop computer in order to be transferred.

Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server

In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop computer, you can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server. To connect, you must set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP. For more information, see

“Getting

Connected,” Chapter 6 .

When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to your Inbox folder, messages in the device Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted from the e-mail server are removed from your Inbox folder.

Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server rather than your desktop computer. When you delete a message on your iQue M5, it will also be deleted from the e-mail server the next time you synchronize. See ActiveSync to customize synchronization.

You can connect to one e-mail server or several. Before you connect, specify which server you want to connect to.

To connect directly to an e-mail server:

1. Tap Accounts and then New Account....

2. Enter your e-mail address and tap Next. Messaging tries to configure your e-mail settings automatically based on your e-mail address.

3. Enter your name, account user name and account password. Check Save Password if you want this password to be saved for future connections. Tap Next.

4. Choose whether this account is POP3 or IMAP4 (IMAP4 should be used for standard IMAP and Exchange Server accounts). Enter a name for this account. Tap Next.

Try these tips for good recognition:

• Write neatly.

• 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, try increasing the zoom level to 300% using the Tools menu.

• Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so the device can easily tell where words begin and end.

• Note that hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.

• Note that you cannot change words that have already been recognized by writing over them with the stylus.

Drawing on the Screen

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, whereas writing cannot.

To create a drawing, select the Pen icon and simply cross three ruled lines on your first stroke. A drawing box appears.

Subsequent strokes inside or touching the drawing box become part of the drawing. Drawings that do not cross three ruled lines will be treated as writing.

To edit a drawing:

1. Tap and hold the stylus on the drawing until the selection handle (looks like a “+”) appears.

2. Drag the selection handle to select the drawing.

3. Tap and drag to move the drawing.

4. Tap the Edit menu or tap and hold on the drawing to cut, copy, or paste the drawing.

Recording a Message

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, Contacts, and Tasks, 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 Messaging, you can add a recording to an e-mail message.

Recording in Notes.

To create a recording:

1. Hold the microphone on your iQue M5 near your mouth or other source of sound.

2. Press and hold the Record hardware button on your device until you hear a beep.

What is Bluetooth Wireless Technology?

Bluetooth wireless technology uses radio signals to send and receive information quickly and securely from many different types of devices, including computers, phones, and printers. Using Bluetooth wireless technology, you can synchronize your iQue M5 with your personal computer, exchange or print files, connect to a network, or browse the Internet. To communicate, devices with

Bluetooth technology do not have to be in the same room, but they must be within 30 feet (10 meters) of each other.

About BTExplorer

BTExplorer is the software on your iQue M5 that helps you connect to other devices with Bluetooth technology. BTExplorer has two modes: Wizard mode (the default setting) and Explorer mode. Both modes allow you to create and maintain connections with other devices, but Wizard mode is designed to simplify this process.

Using either mode, you can view and connect to “services” on other devices with Bluetooth technology. (A service is a type of

Bluetooth wireless connection, like a serial port connection or a network connection.) After you create a connection, you can save it as a favorite, much like you would save favorites in your Web browser. Then you can use your favorites to connect to devices quickly and easily.

NOTE: You can only connect to devices that offer services compatible with your iQue M5. If a device does not offer a service that your iQue M5 can use, the devices will not connect to each other.

Enabling BTExplorer

Before you can use Bluetooth wireless technology, you must turn on the Bluetooth wireless transmitter and open BTExplorer. You can do this easily from the icon on the Today screen.

To enable the Bluetooth wireless transmitter:

1. Tap and hold on the Bluetooth icon at the bottom right of the screen. A menu appears.

2. Tap Enable Bluetooth. The Bluetooth icon changes from to , and the blue LED light at the top of your iQue M5 begins to blink.

Tap Enable Bluetooth on the menu that appears.

To open BTExplorer:

1. Tap the icon.

2. Tap Show BTExplorer.

NOTE: When you open BTExplorer, you also automatically enable the Bluetooth wireless transmitter.

Sprite Backup helps you protect the data on your iQue M5 from loss due to hardware failure, drained battery, or accidental deletion.

Use Sprite Backup to save a backup copy of your data in a safe location. Then if you erase or overwrite data or lose all battery power, you can easily restore the data from your backup copy.

Use Sprite Backup to protect your data in the following ways:

• Back up and restore all data on your iQue M5.

• Back up and restore selected files, folders, mail items, and databases.

• Back up data automatically when your battery is running low.

• Schedule automatic regular backups.

Sprite Backup can operate in two different modes: Basic Mode and Advanced Mode. Basic Mode, the default mode, has a straightforward interface that displays the date and time of your last backup and allows you to back up and restore all data on your iQue

M5 with a single tap. Advanced Mode is designed for users with specific backup requirements. Advanced Mode allows you to select items to exclude from backups, enable encryption and compression, and maintain existing backup files automatically.

To switch from Basic Mode to Advanced Mode:

Tap Options and then Switch to Advanced Mode.

Backing Up Data in Basic Mode

As mentioned previously, Basic Mode allows you to back up all data on your iQue M5 with a single tap. The backup process may take several minutes, depending on how much data is stored on your iQue. After the backup operation begins, do not remove any storage cards or attempt to use any other programs until the operation is complete.

To back up data in Basic Mode:

1. Tap Backup Now on the Sprite Backup main screen.

2. Wait while Sprite Backup saves data. When the “Operation Completed” message appears, tap OK. Tap View Report to view the backup report (see

“Viewing Backup History” ).

3. Tap OK when the pop-up message appears to restart your iQue M5.

Basic Mode also allows you to restore all data quickly and easily. Restoring data may take several minutes, depending on how much data is stored in the backup file. After the restore operation begins, do not remove any storage cards or attempt to use any other programs until the operation is complete.

To restore data in Basic Mode:

1. Tap Restore Now on the Sprite Backup main screen.

2. Wait while Sprite Backup restores data. When the “Operation Completed” message appears, tap OK.


Restoring data in Basic Mode.

Tips for Using Basic Mode

Keep the following tips in mind when using Basic Mode:

• Basic Mode automatically uses any options you set in Advanced mode, such as compression and encryption settings. If you want to reset Sprite Backup settings, tap Options and then Reset Sprite Backup Settings. Note that this action does not cancel any scheduled backups or deactivate battery monitoring.

• If you want to restore data using a backup file other than the default file, you must switch to Advanced Mode. See

“Backing

Up Data in Advanced Mode.”

• Basic Mode automatically determines where to store backup files. The file is saved on a storage card if present, in Safe storage, or in main memory. If you want to save the backup file in a different location, you must switch to Advanced Mode.

See “Backing Up Data in Advanced Mode.”

Synchronizing after Restoring Data

When you try to synchronize your iQue M5 with your computer after restoring data from a Sprite Backup operation, you may receive a message like this: “The following information type on your mobile device has items that have not been synchronized with this computer before.” This message is expected and unavoidable, even though you have already synchronized data with your computer in the past. Choose Combine to add the information on your PC to that on your iQue M5. Replace removes all entries from your iQue M5 and resynchronizes everything. In most cases, we recommend that you choose Combine; if you choose

Replace, you may important delete information that you just restored from Sprite Backup.

Backing Up Data in Advanced Mode

In Advanced Mode, the backup page is separated into two sections. The top section contains a list of all the files you can include in your backup file. The bottom section displays the name of your last backup file and the location where it is saved.

Remember, after you have begun the back up process, do not remove any storage cards or attempt to use any other programs until the operation is complete.

To back up files in Advanced Mode:

1. Select which items you want to include in your backup file by tapping each item to remove or add a red checkmark. To expand the file list, tap the [+] next to each item.

• A red checkmark means all items and sub-items in a list are included in the backup file.

• A gray checkmark means some sub-items are not included in the backup file.

• No checkmark means the item and sub-items are not included in the backup file.

2. Tap the Browse icon . Then tap the Name field and enter a name for the backup file, if you wish. Tap the Location drop-down menu and choose a location where you want to save the backup file.

3. Tap the Backup File Description field and enter a description for the backup file, if you wish. Then tap OK.

4. Tap Backup.

Setting Options for Backup

Set specific backup options to further customize the way Sprite Backup saves your files. You can compress, encrypt, automatically name and maintain backup files, and configure many other backup options.

Compress Backup—Compresses all new backup files so that they take up less storage space. Backup operations take longer when you choose this option, especially if you are backing up files that are already compressed, such as image or music files.

Encrypt Backup—Encrypts and password-protects all new backup files. When you create an encrypted backup file, you must enter a password that is alphanumeric and between six and fifteen characters long. When you restore the backup file, you must reenter the password. Note that encryption only applies to manual backup operations (not scheduled or automatic backups).

Stop Processes Before Backup—Causes Sprite Backup to close all applications that are open before beginning a backup operation.

It is a good idea to leave this option checked because it ensures that Sprite Backup can back up all necessary files.

Exclude Specific file types—Excludes all files of the type you specify from all backup operations.

Name Backup Files Automatically—Automatically creates a name for each backup file based on the current date.

Maintain prior backup files—Manages the amount of space taken up by existing backup files. This option prevents saved backup files from taking up large amounts of space.

Create self-restoring Backup Files—Creates all new backup files as self-restoring files, which means you can restore files on a

Pocket PC without having Sprite Backup installed. These files run automatically from File Explorer and are larger than ordinary backup files.

To set backup options in Advanced Mode:

1. Tap Options and then Backup Options.

2. Change settings as necessary.

3. To restore default settings, tap Default.

4. Tap OK.

• Check “Maximum amount of space to use in the destination folder...” to limit the amount of space taken up by backup files to the amount you specify. Sprite Backup deletes old backup files (oldest first) if necessary to create space for new backup files.

• Check “Maximum number of backup files to keep...” to limit the number of files that Sprite Backup saves in the destination folder.

Sprite backup deletes old backup files (oldest first) to ensure that there are no more than the specified number of files present.

Automatic Menu Handling—Allows Sprite Backup to automatically correct any problems that may arise when restoring the Start

Menu. Specifically, Sprite Backup prevents unmovable duplicate menu items from appearing in the Start Menu after restoring data.

Deselect this option only if you want to restore individual Start Menu items rather than the entire Start Menu.
