Chapter 1: Getting Started 
Welcome 
Congratulations on purchasing a Pocket PC phone. The integrated wireless voice and data capabilities mean that as well as 
keeping your important PIM information up-to-date and close at hand, you can make calls, send and receive email, and look up 
valuable information from the Internet or your company’s network anytime, anywhere. Also, with Microsoft ActiveSync, 
the power of your device is increased by allowing you to synchronize the information on your PC with your device. Picture 
yourself in the following situations: 
 
•  While walking with a colleague, your Pocket PC device rings. You look at the caller ID and see it’s your manager who is 
calling. She asks if you two are free this afternoon for an emergency meeting. While your colleague fumbles through his 
paper organizer, you press a button on your device and instantly see a list of today’s appointments and meetings. You are 
quickly able to tell your manager your available times, and make a note of the new meeting while on the call. You hang up; 
send e-mail with a schedule request for the three of you at the desired location. 
•  meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You download the latest movie information from the Internet to your 
PC and then synchronize it with your device. At dinner, you pull out your Pocket PC device and review your movie 
options with your friends. A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab your Pocket PC device 
and catch the bus just in time. Because ActiveSync keeps the information on your device up-to-date, you leisurely review 
your task list, make notes about the new books and CDs you want to buy, and read and respond to e-mail messages. When 
you get back to the office, ActiveSync transfers any task changes you made, your notes, and your e-mail message 
responses to your PC.
