Tips on using Smart Dialing
Smart Dialing starts looking for numbers or contacts that match the
sequence you have entered. Below are some tips on how to use Smart
Dialing to quickly find a desired phone number or contact.
To find a phone number
• Simply enter the first one or two digits to find a phone number in
Call History.
• Enter the first three digits or more if you want to find a phone
number from the saved contacts on your device and SIM card.
To find a contact name
You can just enter the first letter of a contact’s first name or surname.
Smart Dialing will search for the letter starting from the first character
of a contact name as well as from the character that appears after a
space, dash, or underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap
number “2” which is associated with [a, b, c] on the Phone keypad,
contact names such as the following will be considered matches: “Ben
Miller”, “George Adams”, “John-Carter”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”,
“Thomas_Clark”, “JaneCampbell”.
If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search
further, enter another letter. Using the same example above, if you
continue to tap “3” which is associated with [d, e, f], the matching list
will be narrowed down to the following names: “Ben Miller”, “George
Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”.
Make a call or send a text message using Smart
Dialing

4.2 Synchronizing Information
When you connect your device to the PC using a USB cable, an
infrared connection, or a Bluetooth connection, ActiveSync will
immediately synchronize. While your device is connected, ActiveSync
synchronizes every time you make a change on either the PC or your
device.
To manually start and stop synchronization
1. Connect your device to the PC:
• To synchronize Outlook information and other local information
on the PC, including media files, connect your device to the
PC using Bluetooth, infrared (IR) or a cable.
• If you are synchronizing directly with Exchange Server, you
can use this connection to the PC to "pass through" to the
network, or you can synchronize without connecting to the PC
over a cellular network.
2. In ActiveSync, tap Sync. To end synchronization before it
completes, tap Stop.
Synchronize Outlook information with the computer
If you have set up a synchronization relationship between your device
and the PC, synchronization keeps Outlook information up-to-date on
both your device and PC.
You can also set up your device to synchronize with more than one PC
or with a combination of one or more PCs and Exchange Server. When
synchronizing with multiple computers, the items that you synchronize
will appear on all of the computers with which they are synchronized.
For example, if you have set up synchronization with two PCs (PC1
and PC2), which have different items, and you synchronize Contacts
and Calendar on your device with both computers, the result is as
follows:
Synchronizing Information and Setting Up E-mail Security | 63

To receive e-mails and synchronize other information instantly
The 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 connection on your device.
The Direct Push feature works for your device only if it is connected to
a private network (corporate network) that is using Microsoft Exchange
Server Service Pack 2 (SP2) with Exchange ActiveSync. You need to
perform a full synchronization between your device and the Exchange
Server first before Direct Push can be enabled.
Using Comm Manager

5.5 Protecting Your Pocket PC Phone
There are two kinds of protection that you can set for your device:
• You can protect your SIM card from unauthorized use by
assigning a PIN (personal identification number). Your first PIN
will be given to you by your wireless service provider; you can
change the PIN later.
• Additionally, you can prevent unauthorized access to any part of

5.6 Resetting Your Pocket PC 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 lightly press and hold the RESET button on
the bottom of your device. Your device restarts and displays the
Today screen.
RESET button
Warning! Always turn off your device before performing a soft reset.

6.1 Connecting to the Internet
Your device is equipped with powerful networking functions that enable
you to connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi, GPRS (General Packet
Radio Service) or the mobile phone network
Connecting your device to the Internet through a private or free
wireless network is your best choice since this will not incur any cost.
Take note, however, that using Wi-Fi on your device will drain battery
power faster. For more information about setting up a Wi-Fi connection,
see “Using Wi-Fi” later in this chapter.
In times when you are not within the coverage of a wireless network,
you can either use GPRS or phone dial-up to connect your device to
the Internet or your corporate network. Your device has two groups of
connection settings: ISP (Internet Service Provider) and WAP. The ISP
settings are used to connect to the Internet, while WAP settings can be
used to connect to any private, corporate network.
To set up a GPRS connection to the Internet
GPRS is a non-voice value-added service that allows information to
be sent and received across a mobile telephone network. You can use
GPRS to connect to the Internet or to send and receive MMS on your
device. You will be billed per KB (Kilobyte) by your wireless service
provider when you are sending or receiving information via GPRS.
If GPRS settings are not preset on your device, obtain the Access
point name from your wireless service provider. Also, check with your
wireless service provider if a user name and password are required.
1. Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Connections.
2. In ISP, tap Add a new modem connection.
Getting Connected | 91
3. On the Make New Connection screen, enter a name for the
connection.

To set up a network card
You can insert and use a network card on your device to connect
directly to a local area network (LAN) at your home or workplace. Once
connected, you can view the Internet or intranet, or download e-mail on
your device. Ensure you purchase and configure a network card that is

automatically so that you can configure the network card. If it
does not appear, or to change settings later, tap Start > Settings
> Connections tab > Network Cards.
3. To enter specific server information, tap the appropriate network
adapter in the Tap an adapter to modify settings list, and
then tap Name Servers. Most networks use DHCP dynamic IP
addressing, so you should not have to change these settings
unless you have been instructed to do so.
4. If necessary, connect the network card to the network by using a
network cable. For information, see the documentation that came
with your network card.
5. To start a connection, insert the network card, and begin using a
desired program, such as Internet Explorer Mobile, to browse the
Internet. Your device will connect automatically.
Note If you use your network card with two networks, such as a private
network at work and one at home for the Internet, you will need to

6.4 Using Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology.
Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over 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
hands-free 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 Bluetooth-
enabled 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
Bluetooth-enabled 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
the radio off at times in order to conserve battery power, or in
situations where radio use is prohibited, such as on board an
aircraft and in hospitals.
• Discoverable. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-
enabled devices within a range of 10 meters can detect your
device.
Getting Connected | 99
Note By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, then turn off your
device, Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your device again,

information in a secure manner. Creating a partnership between two
devices involves entering the same passkey on both devices.
Creating a partnership between two devices is a one-time process.
Once a partnership is created, the devices can recognize the
partnership and exchange information without entering a passkey
again. Make sure the two devices are within a range of 10 meters from
one another, and Bluetooth is turned on and in discoverable mode.
To create a Bluetooth partnership
1. On your device, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab >
