1.1.1 About ActiveSync

The Microsoft PC connectivity software, ActiveSync, can be used to connect the NETBOOK PRO to PCs running Win- dows 95/98/ME/2000/XP or NT 4.0. By connecting the NETBOOK PRO to a PC with a cable and running Active- Sync on the PC, you can:

•View your NETBOOK PRO files from Windows Explorer by using the Mobile Device icon in the PC’s My Computer window.

•Drag and drop files between the NETBOOK PRO and the PC in the same way that you would between PC drives, and they will be automatically converted to the appropriate file format at the same time.

•Synchronize e-mail and your address book on the NETBOOK PRO with the PC to keep them in step with each other.

•Back up your NETBOOK PRO files to the PC, then restore them from the PC to the NETBOOK PRO again, if needed.

For detailed information, please refer to the documentation supplied with Microsoft Active Sync or the NETBOOK PRO

Win CE User Manual.

1.2 Caring For The NETBOOK PRO

Screen

When used with the approved stylus, the NETBOOK PRO screen is very resistant to wear and impact and should last for a considerable time. Use of any object, other than the approved stylus, may result in damage to the NETBOOK PRO screen.

To maintain the life of the NETBOOK PRO screen, keep the screen clean. To clean the screen: switch off the NETBOOK PRO and use a soft, clean, dry cloth to gently wipe the screen. (If the NETBOOK PRO is set to turn on automati- cally when the screen is tapped, you should turn this prefer- ence off before cleaning the screen.)

Warning: Under no circumstances use chemical solvents to clean the screen.

Charging

To avoid damage to the NETBOOK PRO or the NETBOOK PRO battery packs, use only Psion Teklogix approved charg- ers and docking stations.

Backup Battery

The NETBOOK PRO has a backup battery designed to retain data while the main battery pack is charging or changed over.

The backup battery is a pair of AAA alkaline batteries.These may be replaced by the user. See “Internal Backup Battery” on page 10.

Important: If both the main battery pack and the backup battery are allowed to fully discharge, all user data held in RAM will be lost.

Do not use rechargeable cells as backup bat- teries. For maximum data retention time in backup mode, use only non-rechargable cells as backup batteries.
