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
1. Begin entering the first few numbers or characters.
2. In the Smart Dialing panel, browse the list by tapping the arrows
( / ) or pressing NAVIGATION up or down to select the desired
contact or phone number. When a contact is selected, it expands to
also show the corresponding phone number.
3. The highlighted item will move one line when you press NAVIGATION
up or down; the highlighted item will scroll one page when you tap
the arrows.

your device with both computers, the result is as follows:
Location New state
PC1 All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC2
are now also on PC1.
PC2 All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that were on PC1
are now also on PC2.
Pocket PC
Phone
All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments from both PC1
and PC2 are on your device.
Notes • Outlook e-mail can be synchronized with only one computer.
• To stop synchronizing with one PC completely, tap Menu > Options, tap
the computer name, then tap Delete.
To resolve ActiveSync connection problem
The desktop Microsoft ActiveSync 4.0 and later versions utilize a network
type of connection with Windows Mobile powered devices, since this allows
faster data transfer than a serial USB connection. When the PC is connected
to the Internet or a local network, in some cases, the PC may disconnect the
ActiveSync connection with your device in favor of the Internet or network
connection. If this happens, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > USB
to PC, then clear the Enable advanced network functionality check box.
This makes ActiveSync utilize a serial USB connection with your device.
The USB to PC ( ) icon appears on the Today Screen when serial USB
connection is used.

Using Outlook with Exchange Server 155
10.2 Working With Company E-mails
Your device gives you instant access to your company e-mails and lets you
manage your messages easier. You can use some or all of the following
mobile messaging features, depending on the version of the Exchange
Server that your company is using. Please check this with your network
administrator.
• Get instant e-mails on your device using Direct Push, or set a
schedule for synchronizing Outlook.
• Use the Fetch Mail feature to download only one e-mail message at a
time without having to wait for a full synchronization.
• Remotely search for an e-mail message that is stored on the Exchange
Server.
• Filter messages that are downloaded to your device.
• Flag Outlook e-mail messages that you created on your device.
• Automatically reply messages with an “out-of-office” status.
• Open links to SharePoint documents.
• Receive, reply to, forward, and compose IRM-protected e-mail.
• Encrypt and digitally sign messages. (See “E-mail Security” for details).
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 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.
![](/img.php?id=791453&img=bg9c.png)
156 Using Outlook with Exchange Server

retrieve your e-mails.
To enable Direct Push via ActiveSync
1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Schedule.
2. Select As items arrive in the Peak times and Off-peak times boxes.
Note When both the GPRS and Wi-Fi connections are turned on at the same time,
the Direct Push feature will always opt for GPRS, for which you could be
charged per your network operator’s service plan.
Using Outlook with Exchange Server 157
Scheduled synchronization
If you do not want to use Direct Push, you can set a regular schedule
for synchronizing Outlook e-mail and information. Set how often to
synchronize during Peak times (which usually refer to your working hours)
when e-mail volume is high, as well as Off-peak times when e-mail volume
is low.
1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Schedule.
2. Select a shorter time interval in the Peak times box for you to be able
to receive e-mails more frequently.
3. Select a longer interval in the Off-peak times box.
Tip To set the days and hours that make up your peak and off-peak times, tap
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 2KB of the message is shown. To download

included in your organization’s Company Directory: First name, Last name,
E-mail name, Display name, E-mail address, or Office location.
10.5 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
Mobile-based 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.
![](/img.php?id=791453&img=bga4.png)
164 Using Outlook with Exchange Server
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. Tap Start > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.
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.
![](/img.php?id=791453&img=bga5.png)
Using Outlook with Exchange Server 165
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:

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.
166 Using Outlook with Exchange Server
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.
1. Tap Start > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.
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.

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).
Experiencing Multimedia 187
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 32MB or larger storage card into your
device, and turn the power back on.

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.

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 harm-ful 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 217
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
• Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories
that do not contain any metal.
• Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate
your local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output
power is far below the international radio frequency exposure limits. 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 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 phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for
the public and to account for any variations in usage.
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.
Your device has an internal antenna. Use only the supplied integral antenna.
Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and
218 Appendix
damage the phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding
the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance with local
regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF
energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always
use your device only in its normal-use position. Do not touch or hold the
antenna area unnecessarily when placing or receiving a phone call. Contact
with the antenna area may impair call quality and cause your device to
operate at a higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the
antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance
and the battery life.
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. (Bodyworn measurements may differ among phone models,
depending upon available accessories and FCC requirements). For body
worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines,
use only original manufacturer approved accessories. When carrying the
phone while it is on, use the specific original manufacturer supplied or
approved carrying case, holster, or other body-worn accessory.

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 the 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 the 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.
