This chapter tells you how to effectively manage power, memory, settings, data and programs of your Pocket PC. 3.1 Managing Power You must maintain a continuous power supply to your Pocket PC to retain your data, including any information, programs or settings that you added to your Pocket PC. A fully charged battery should provide power for up to 12 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 multimedia or operating a SD/MMC or CompactFlash card, may consume the battery power considerably. Low Battery Signals and Actions CAUTION: � Though your Pocket PC can retain data for 72 hours after its battery runs completely out of power, you must constantly charge the battery of your Pocket PC. This can prevent data loss or damage to the battery caused by the battery’s being kept in a discharged state for too long. � When you recharge the battery upon a warning of low power, you should charge for at least 30 minutes to one hour. 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 � Settings � System tab � Power icon. 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

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: � The message is transferred to the Outbox folder in Exchange or Outlook on your desktop computer and sent the next time you synchronize. � The message is transferred to your email server the next time you connect. In Inbox, make sure the appropriate service is selected on the Accounts menu. Then tap the Connect button (or Connect on the Accounts menu). 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. � 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. � 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

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. � 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 Tools � Manage Folders in the message list.

In addition to Microsoft Pocket Outlook, several programs are built into your Pocket PC. They include Microsoft ActiveSync, Microsoft Pocket Word, Microsoft Pocket Excel, Windows Media Player, Microsoft Reader, Pictures and additional programs. This chapter tells you how to use these programs. 5.1 Microsoft ActiveSync NOTE: ActiveSync is already installed on your Pocket PC. You need to install ActiveSync on your desktop computer.
