8 700 Series Color Mobile Computer User’s Manual
Introduction
Congratulations on purchasing a Pocket PC. Due to the size and capabili-
ties of this 700 Series Color Mobile Computer, you can keep your most
important business and personal information up-to-date and close at hand.
Microsoft ActiveSync increases the power of your 700 Series Computer by
allowing you to synchronize the information on your desktop or laptop
computer with your 700 Series Computer. Picture yourself in the follow-
ing situations:
S A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab
your 700 Color Pocket PC Mobile Computer and catch the bus just in
time. Because ActiveSync keeps the information on your 700 Series
Computer 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 trans-
fers any task changes you made, your notes, and your e-mail message
responses to your desktop computer. For more information on Active-
Sync, see “Microsoft ActiveSync” on page 29.
S While walking with a colleague, your 700 Color Pocket PC Mobile
Computer rings. You look at the caller ID and see it is your manager
who is calling. She asks if you two are free this afternoon for an emer-
gency meeting. While your colleague fumbles through his paper orga-
nizer, you press a button on your 700 Series Computer 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 an e-mail with a schedule request
for the three of you at the desired location. For more information on
scheduling appointments and meetings, see “Microsoft Pocket Outlook”
on page 31.
S You are meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You
download the latest movie information from the Internet to your desk-
top computer and then synchronize it with your 700 Series Computer.
At dinner, you pull out your 700 Color Pocket PC Mobile Computer
and review your movie options with your friends. For more information
on downloading Web pages to your 700 Series Computer, see “Pocket
Internet Explorer” on page 62.
