backup to ensure that it is readable by the backup program prior to deleting earlier ones. It is not
necessary to actually execute the restore to verify that the file can be read.
Using Help
This was only an introduction to the many programs and features available within the
WayPoint
tm
Pocket PC PDA. And, of course, you can customize it by adding more programs of
your own choosing. The unit has an extensive help system built-in that can be used to explore the
loaded programs and to review their operation when a manual is not present.
• From the TODAY screen you can tap Start and then select Help to view the full list of
available help files.
• From within most applications you can get context sensitive help by tapping Start and
selecting Help with the application running.
Once inside of help you can use the View command to reach the full installed help database or
jump to the table of contents. There is a Find command to search the help file you are using.
However, most of the time ‘help’ is designed with a table of contents and logical links so that a
search is not necessary. The arrows on the command bar can be used to return back to the
previous entry in the help tree.
The “WayPoint Pocket PC Reference Manual” and this manual are included as a tagged PDF
files on the CD-ROM. Supplying pre-tagged PDF files permits users without ActiveSync to read
the file in reflow mode on their PDA using an acrobat reader that supports reflow such as the
one from Adobe. These files can be downloaded to the PDA for more extensive help.
ActiveSync
The installation quick start guide includes the optional installation of ActiveSync for PC users.
The use of ActiveSync is covered in the WayPoint Pocket PC Reference manual but a few tips
on its installation are covered here. ActiveSync is optional and is not needed by your WayPoint
PDA.
Users wishing to sync their WayPoint PDA with information on a PC will need to install
ActiveSync from the included CD-ROM. They will need a copy of Outlook to perform syncs of
their contact list and other PIM data. A copy of Outlook is also on the CD-ROM.
Users that already have Outlook 2002 or later or ActiveSync 3.7 or later already installed will not
need to reinstall these products, however the WayPoint PDA will probably not be recognized by
the previously installed copy of ActiveSync since it is a new product.
If your PDA is not recognized by ActiveSync when you plug it in then place the WayPoint CD-
ROM in your CD drive and have it search the CD-ROM for the correct driver. Using the driver
from the CD will permit your existing ActiveSync installation to work with the new WayPoint
unit.
