    							Page 61  Using Key Lock  
    Key Lock enables you to lock the buttons on your Pocket PC Phone so that only the On/Off button will turn your Pocket PC 
    Phone on. Locking your Pocket PC Phone in this way ensures you cannot switch the Pocket PC Phone on by accident, and 
    consume unnecessary power. 
      
      
    Enabling Key Lock when you are using your phone features will slow down your ability to answer a call.

    1. Tap Phone, To o l s, Options, and then More. 
     
    2. Under 
    Hardware Key Lock, select 
    Lock all buttons except Power button, and then 
    OK. 
     
    Enabling Broadcast Channels 
    You can choose to receive real-time news and information, such as traffic news and weather reports. 
    To enable Broadcast Channels 
      
    1. Tap Phone, To o l s, Options, and then More.

    inserted, and in some cases that the PIN has been entered as well.

    phone service provider may save additional local emergency numbers in the 
    Smart Card.

    1.  Tap and hold the 0 key until the + sign appears. The + replaces the international 
    prefix of the country from where you are calling.

    code (without the leading zero) and phone number.

    Favorite Links 
    During synchronization, the list of favorite links in the Mobile Favorites folder on your desktop PC is synchronized with Pocket 
    Internet Explorer on your Pocket PC Phone. Both your PC and your Pocket PC Phone are updated with changes made to either list 
    each time you synchronize. Unless you mark the favorite link as a mobile favorite, only the link will be downloaded to your 
    Pocket PC Phone, and you will need to connect to your ISP or network to view the content. For more information on 
    synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop PC. 
    Mobile Favorites  
    If you are using Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.0 or later on your desktop PC, you can download mobile favorites to your Pocket 
    PC Phone. Synchronizing mobile favorites downloads Web content to your Pocket PC Phone so that you can view pages while 
    you are disconnected from your ISP and desktop PC.

    with your Pocket PC Phone, in Internet Explorer on your desktop PC, click To o l s and then 
    Synchronize. You will see the last time content was downloaded to the desktop PC, and you can

     Inbox: Sending and Receiving E-mail or SMS 
    Use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in either of these ways:  
     
    • Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft Exchange or Microsoft Outlook on your desktop PC. 
    • 
    Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail server through an Internet service provider (ISP) or a 
    network. 
    You also can use Inbox to send and receive SMS text messages.  Inbox supports 8 bits data with class 0, 1, 2, 3 plus Unstructured 
    Supplementary Service Data (USSD). 
     
      
    						
    							Page 70  Synchronizing E-mail Messages 
    E-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general synchronization process. You will need to enable Inbox 
    synchronization in ActiveSync. For information on enabling Inbox synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on the desktop PC. 
     
    During synchronization: 
     
    • Messages are copied from the mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your desktop PC to the ActiveSync folder in Inbox on 
    your Pocket PC Phone.  By default you will receive messages from the past five days only, and only the first 100 lines of each 
    message. 
     
    • 
    E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your Pocket PC Phone are transferred to Exchange or Outlook, and then sent from 
    those programs. 
    • 
    E-mail messages in folders must be selected in ActiveSync on your desktop PC in order to be transferred. 
     
    Connecting Directly to an E-mail Server 
    In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your desktop PC, you can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to 
    an e-mail server using a modem or network card connected to your Pocket PC Phone. You will need to set up a remote connection 
    to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail server.  
     
    When you connect to the e-mail server, new messages are downloaded to the Pocket PC Phone Inbox folder, messages in the 
    Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the Inbox folder. 
    Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server rather than your PC. When you delete a 
    message on your Pocket PC Phone, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect - based on the settings you 
    selected in ActiveSync. 
     
    You can work online or offline. When working online, you read and respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. 
    Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your Pocket PC Phone. 
    When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail 
    server and then decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete 
    messages you have marked for retrieval and sends the messages you have composed. 
     
    Using the Message List 
      
    • Messages you receive are displayed in the message list. 
    By default, the most recently received messages are 
    displayed in the list first.
