Chapter 1: Getting Started
Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing your Pocket PC Terminal. Its compact size and powerful features
and functions let you keep your most important business and personal information up-to-date and
close at hand. Microsoft

ActiveSync
®
increases the power of your Pocket PC Terminal by
allowing you to synchronize the information on your desktop or laptop computer with your
Pocket PC Terminal. Picture yourself in the following situations:
• While walking with a colleague, your cell phone rings and the boss 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 Pocket PC Terminal and instantly see a list of today’s
appointments and meetings. You are quickly able to tell the boss your available times. For more
information on scheduling appointments and meetings, see Chapter 4.
• You’re meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You download the latest movie
information from the Internet to your desktop computer and then synchronize it with your
Pocket PC Terminal. At dinner, you pull out your Pocket PC Terminal and review your movie
options with your friends. For more information on downloading Web pages, see Chapter 6.
• A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab your Pocket PC
Terminal and catch the bus just in time. Because ActiveSync keeps the information on your
Pocket PC Terminal 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 desktop computer. For more information on ActiveSync, see
Chapter 3.
