upstrokes. Enter another upstroke to return to lower case.
When entering special characters or punctuation, first tap in the right side of the writing area, then enter the
character.

Writing Tips
Write neatly.
Write on the lines and draw descenders below the line. Cross off the “t” and write apostrophes below the top
line so they are not confused with the word above. Write periods and commas above the line.
For better recognition, increase the zoom level to 300% using Menu > Zoom.
Leave large gaps between words so the device can easily tell where words begin and end.
Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot

Optimizing Battery Life
Under normal conditions, the device offers many hours of use from a single charge. To extend battery life as much

Use external power whenever possible, especially when:
using the backlight
connecting to a host computer
using accessories.
Set the device to turn off when idle. While on battery power, the device automatically turns off, or suspends
operation, if not used for three minutes. Maximize battery life by shortening this time.
By default, the device produces sounds in response to a number of events, such as warnings, appointments,
and key presses. To optimize battery life, turn off unnecessary sounds. See Sounds & Notifications on page
2-22.

For more information on e-mail synchronization options, see To configure ActiveSync e-mail synchronization

Downloading Messages
The manner in which messages are downloaded in your device depends on the type account you have.
E-mail messages in an Outlook E-mail account can be downloaded during ActiveSync synchronization.
E-mail messages in a Windows Live Hotmail account can be downloaded when signed into Windows Live.
E-mail messages in an e-mail account provided by your ISP, or that you access using a virtual private
network (VPN) server can be downloaded from a remote e-mail server.
Text messages are automatically received by your device when the phone function is turned on. When the
phone function is disabled, messages are held by your mobile phone service provider until the next time you
turn the phone function on.
Synchronizing Outlook E-mail Messages
Outlook e-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general ActiveSync synchronization process.
During ActiveSync synchronization:
Only the first 500 bytes (or characters, including spaces) of each new message sent to you within the last
three days.
Messages are copied from the Outlook Inbox folder on your computer, or from a Microsoft Exchange server,
to the Outlook E-mail Inbox folder on your device.

The messages on your device and on your computer are linked. When you delete a message on your device,
it is also deleted from your computer the next time you synchronize, and vice versa.

If you receive long messages often and want to synchronize them in full, select a larger size in the

If you want to synchronize more past messages, increase the interval in the Download the past
drop-down list.
If you want to include e-mail attachments, select the Include file attachments checkbox. To limit the size
of synchronized attachments, select the Only if smaller than checkbox and enter a size limit.
Attachments larger than this limit are not synchronized with your device.
If you want to synchronize folders other than Inbox, click Select Folders, then select the subfolders that
you want to synchronize.
The Deleted Items folder synchronizes only one direction, from the device to the computer. Items in the
Deleted Items folder on your computer do not appear on your device.
5. Click OK twice.
Synchronizing POP3/IMAP4 E-mail Messages
POP3/IMAP4 e-mail messages are downloaded using an e-mail server connection. During e-mail server
synchronization:
New e-mail messages are downloaded to that account’s Inbox folder.
E-mail messages in that account’s Outbox folder are sent.
E-mail messages that have been deleted in the e-mail server are removed from your device’s Inbox folder.
If you are using a POP3 account and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken
between the messages on your device and their copies on the e-mail server. The next time you connect, the
e-mail server sees that the messages are missing from the device’s Inbox and delete them from the server.
This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no longer have
access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except your device.
If you are using an IMAP4 account, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored
on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to your e-mail server, whether
it is from your device or from your computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to
your mail server, create new folders or rename/delete folders when connected.
