CAUTION: Always leave the ON/OFF switch in the ON position for normal operation.
2. Your device will automatically turn on. Charge the battery as described in
the next sub-section.
3. Wait for a few seconds until the startup screen appears. Follow the onscreen
instructions to complete the setup wizard. You will then see the Home
screen.

Connecting to AC Power and Charging the Battery
When charging the battery for the very first time, charge it for at least 8 hours.
1. Fit the converter plug to the AC charger (

Use the included power adapter (for use with power supply model PC11R-050).
Do not charge the battery where the temperature is high (e.g. in direct sunlight).
There is no need to fully discharge the battery before charging. You can charge the
battery before it is discharged.
If you will not use the product for a long period of time, be sure to fully charge the
battery at least once every two weeks. Over discharge of the battery can affect the
charging performance.

1.3 Synchronizing with Your Computer
ActiveSync and Windows Mobile Device Center (WMDC) provide an easy way
to synchronize data on a Windows-based computer with your device.
ActiveSync works on computers that have the Windows XP operating systems.
WMDC works only on computers that have Windows Vista or Windows 7.
ActiveSync and WMDC act as gateways between your device and your
computer for transferring Outlook e-mail, appointments, contacts, and tasks, and
media such as pictures, music, and videos. You can also use the Explore feature
in either program to move files or programs from your computer to your device.
Installing ActiveSync or WMDC
If you‘re using Windows XP or earlier versions of Windows, download and
install the latest ActiveSync. If you‘re using Windows Vista or Windows 7,
download and install the latest Windows Mobile Device Center. (Visit the
Microsoft website to download the program and to obtain operating
instructions.)
NOTE:
Before installation, make sure that you have Microsoft Outlook installed on your
computer.
Connect your device to the computer AFTER Windows Mobile Device Center or
ActiveSync is installed.
ActiveSync connection problems may occur in some specific cases. They are likely
caused by interoperability with desktop firewall applications or applications that manage
network traffic. For troubleshooting information, visit the Microsoft web site.
10
After the software installation, connect your device to your computer with the
USB cable and you are ready to synchronize.
11
1.4 Using an SD/SDHC/MMC Card
Your Pocket PC has a SD/MMC slot where you can insert an optional Secure
Digital or MultiMediaCard storage card. With the removable memory, you can
store or backup your data and exchange data with other devices.
NOTE:
A storage card is also called a memory card.
Make sure that no foreign objects enter the slot.
Keep a SD or MMC card in a well-protected box to avoid dust and humidity when you are
not using it.
To use a card, insert it into the slot, with the
connector pointing to the slot and its label
facing the front of the Pocket PC. Follow the
instructions supplied with the card for more
information.
To remove a card, first make sure that no
application is accessing the card, then slightly
push the top edge of the card to release it and
pull it out of the slot.
