Recording Formats

Your Pocket PC 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 Pocket PC.

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 desktop computer, be sure to choose a recording format that is supported by the software used to play recordings on the other computer.

The PCM format offers the highest quality recording and is compatible with all

Managing Your Pocket PC

This chapter tells you how to effectively manage power, memory, settings, data and programs of your Pocket PC.

3.1 Managing 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

Pocket PC. Some functions, such as using multimedi a or operating a SD/MMC card, may consume the battery power considerably.

Low Battery Signals and Actions

CAUTION:

z

When the battery is very low, your device automatically sets the volume down as a z protection. Under such circumstances, you will not be able to turn up the volume unless the battery is charged to a certain level of power.

When you recharge the battery upon a warning of low power, you should charge for at least 30 minutes. If you unplug the AC adapter soon, you may not have sufficient battery power for your operation.

You can monitor the battery power by tapping

Æ

Settings Æ System

Æ

Power

.

The remaining power is displayed on a status bar in the Power control panel.

When the battery is low, your Pocket PC will pop up a warning message. You should save your data and recharge the battery immediately upon a warning of low power; otherwise your Pocket PC will turn off automatically. You need to connec t the Pocket PC to external AC power for charging before you can use it again.

By connecting directly to an e-mail server through an ISP (Internet Service

Provider) or a network. This method requires an optional modem or network card.

Tap

Æ

Messaging

to switch to the program.

Synchronizing E-mail Messages

E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. To do this, you need to enable Inbox synchronization in ActiveSync For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop computer.

During synchronization, the following occurs: z

Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your desktop computer to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on your Pocket PC. By default, you receive messages from the past three days only, the first 100 lines of each message file attachments of less than 100 KB in size. z

Email messages in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC are transferred to

Exchange or Outlook and then sent from those programs. z The messages on the two computers are linked. When you delete a message on your Pocket PC, it is deleted from your desktop computer the next time you synchronize. z Email messages in subfolders in other e-mail folders in Outlook are synchronized only if they have been selected for synchronization in

ActiveSync.

47

Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server

You can send and receive email messages by connecting to a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail server if you can connect to your ISP or local area network. (For information on connection, see Section 6.2.)

Setting up an Email Service

You can use multiple email services to receive your messages. For each email service you intend to use, first set up and name the email service. If you use the same service to connect to different mailboxes, set up and name each mailbox connection.

In Messaging, tap

Menu

Æ

Tools

Æ

New Account

. Follow the directions in the New

Service Wizard. For an explanation of a screen, tap at the upper right corner of the screen.

When you connect to the email server, new messages are downloaded to the

Inbox folder on your Pocket PC, messages in the Pocket PC Outbox folder are sent messages that have been deleted on the email server are removed from the

Inbox folder on your Pocket PC.

Messages that you receive directly from an email server are linked to your email server rather than your desktop computer. When you delete a message on your

Pocket PC, it is also deleted from the email server the next time you connect based on the settings you selected in ActiveSync.

You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages while connected to the email server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap

Send

, which saves space on your Pocket PC.

When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the email server and then decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete messages you have marked for retrieval and sends the messages you have composed.

Using the Message List

Messages you receive are displayed in the message list. By default, the most recently received messages are displayed first in the list.

7. Tap

Send

when you have finished the message. If you are working offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and is sent the next time you connect.

The message is placed in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC and will be delivered in one of two ways: z

The message is transferred to the Outbox folder in Exchange or Outlook on your desktop computer and sent the next time you synchronize. z The message is transferred to your email server the next time you connect.

Managing Email Messages and Folders

Each e-mail service account has its own folder hierarchy with five default folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts and Sent Items. The messages you receive and send through the mail service are stored in these folders. You can also create additional folders within each hierarchy.

The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on your

Pocket PC. The behaviour of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends on the options you have chosen.

Folder Behavior

The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using

ActiveSync, POP3 or IMAP4. z If you use ActiveSync, email messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are automatically synchronized with your Pocket PC. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the messages you move are mirrored on the server.

For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read the messages while away from your desktop computer.

51

z

If you use POP3 and you move email messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the Pocket PC and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server sees that the messages are missing from the Pocket PC Inbox and deletes them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the Pocket PC. z If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the email messages you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your Pocket PC or desktop computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server, create new folders or rename/delete folders when connected.

For all services except ActiveSync, you can access folder options by tapping

Menu

Æ

Tools

Æ

Manage Folders

in the message list.
