8.2 Scheduling Synchronization
You can schedule Outlook information to be synchronized automatically between your device and the
Exchange Server, or schedule synchronization at regular time intervals. Choose between these two methods, depending on your e-mail volume and which method you think is more cost-effective.
Synchronize automatically using 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 data 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

8.4 E-mail Security
Windows Mobile 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 Mobile-based devices are available only with
Exchange Server 2003 SP2 or a later version that supports S/MIME. If your company is not using one of these products, or you have not completed your first synchronization with the Exchange
Server, 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
1.
In the message list, tap Menu > Go To > Outlook E-mail.
2.
Tap New.
3.
Tap Menu > Message Options.
4.
Select the Encrypt message and Sign message check boxes, and tap OK.
To verify the digital signature on a signed message you receive
1.

2.
At the top of the message, tap View Signature Status.
3.
Tap Menu > Check Certificate.
74 Working With Company E-mails
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.
1.
Tap Start > Programs > ActiveSync.
2.
Tap Menu > Options.
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.
•

FCC RF EXPOSURE INFORMATION
In August 1996, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States with its action in
Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this device complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.
Appendix 127
BODY-WORN OPERATION
Your TITA100 pocket PC phone was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the device kept
1.5 cm from the body. To comply with FCC RF exposure requirements, a minimum separation distance of
1.5 cm must be maintained between the user’s body and the back of the device, including the antenna. Thirdparty belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories containing metallic components should not be used. Bodyworn accessories that cannot maintain 1.5 cm separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the device, and have not been tested for typical body-worn operations may not comply with FCC RF exposure limits and should be avoided.
When carrying the device on you, turning the display in towards the body will minimize RF exposure and maximize antenna efficiency.
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.
FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01-
309 modified the exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act) to require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities.
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing device users find phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated.
Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss.
If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. TITA100 is rated M3.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for best use.
In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage” while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context is defined as a signal quality that is acceptable for normal operation.
The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark is intended to be synonymous with the UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries
128 Appendix
Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and measurement procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.

SAR Information
SAR: 1.130 W/kg @1g (USA)
THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with the High Tech Computer Corp. accessories supplied or designated for this product. Use of other accessories may not ensure compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines.
Your wireless mobile CDMA phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications
Commission of the U.S. Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
•
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992.
•
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986.
•
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996.
•
Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile CDMA phone employs a unit of measurement known as the
Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg*. Tests for SAR are conducted with the device 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 device while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is because the device 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 device 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 (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
The highest SAR value for this model device when tested for use at the ear is 1.130 W/Kg @ 1g and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.922 W/Kg @ 1g. (Body-worn measurements differ among device models, depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of https://gullfoss2.fcc.gov/prod/oet/cf/eas/ reports/GenericSearch.cfm
after searching on FCC ID: NM8TITA100.
Additional information on Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular Telecommunications
& Internet Association (CTIA) web-site as http://www.phonefacts.net
.
Appendix 129
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile CDMA phone used by the public is 1.6 Watts/kg
(W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in measurements.
Normal condition only to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
FCC Enhanced 911 (E911) Rules
BACKGROUND
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) requires wireless carriers to transmit specific latitude and longitude location (Automatic Location Identification = ALI) information as well as “911” calls to Public Safety
Answering Points (PSAPs) to identify the location of the caller in case of emergency.
Generally, the rules require that carriers identify an E911 caller’s location within 50 meters of the actual location for 67 percent of calls and within 150 meters of the actual location for 95 percent of calls.
TITA100’s ALI CAPABILITY
The TITA100 is an ALI-capable pocket PC phone equipped with a GPS (Global Positioning System) receiver supporting a satellite-based GPS ALI-capable network to comply with the FCC’s ALI requirements.
The network compliance with the above FCC requirements is dependent on: (a) the use of digital technology by the wireless network; (b) GPS satellite signals being able to reach the handset (such transmissions do not always work indoors, for example) ; and (c) handset signals reaching wireless “base stations” (atmospheric and environmental conditions may cause variations in handset receiving signal strength).
Also the transmission of the ALI information is subject, in part, to system constraints within the wireless network to which the E911 signal is transmitted and over which UT Starcom has no control.
Finally, customers are advised that the TITA100’s ALI capability is to be used for E911 purposes only.
For more information about placing emergency calls, see Chapter 3.

Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
POSTED FACILITIES
Turn your device OFF where posted notices so require.
Turn Off Your Device Before Flying
AIRCRAFT
FCC regulations prohibit using the transmitting and phone functions of your device while in the air. In addition, most airline regulations prohibit the on-board use of portable PCs (and all other portable electronic devices that could potentially emit stray RF energy), particularly during take-offs and landings, to prevent any possible interference with the reception of signals by airborne electronic navigational devices.
Appendix 133
Turn your device OFF before boarding an aircraft. Always request and obtain prior consent and approval of an authorized airline representative before using your device aboard an aircraft. Always follow the instructions of the airline representative whenever using your device aboard an aircraft, to prevent any possible interference with airborne electronic equipment.
Turn Off Your Device in Dangerous Areas
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted
“Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or articles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your vehicle’s engine.
