FAQ:
| 1. | My Pocket PC cannot boot. What shall I do about it? | | | (1) Make sure the Pocket PC battery you use still has enough power.
(2) Plug your Pocket PC into the charger cradle, and make sure the red charging indicator lights up. Press the Power Button.
(3) If you have done the above but your Pocket PC still cannot boot, proceed with the following step: Remove the Pocket PC backcover, and check the battery lock is in place. If not, the system cannot be started.
|
| 2. | My Pocket PC often has a picture freeze or the system does not respond. What shall I do about it? | | | (1) You may reset your Pocket PC or re-activate the whole system to release unnecessary resources so that the system can return to normal.
(2) If you have reset your Pocket PC but it still cannot operate normally, then you need to carry out a cold boot to solve this problem.
How to carry out a cold boot: Tap and hold the Power Button with one hand, and press the “Reset” Button once with the pen tip held in the other hand, then release the Power button at the same time. After a cold boot, the programs installed or added by yourself, self-made setting values, and self-made data (e.g., “Contacts” and “Calendar”) will all disappear and return to their original factory default values. As a result, we suggest you copy your data to the SD card or Flash Disk on a regular basis. Data stored in these locations will not vanish because of a cold boot.
|
| 3. | Why doesn`t my Pocket PC not make any sound? | | | (1) Tap the speaker icon on the top right of the screen, then select the sound control option or adjust the volume of the incoming call sound.
(2) Alternatively, you may use the volume control key at the side of your Pocket PC by pushing it up or down to control the volume.
|
| 4. | Why does my Pocket PC screen automatically become dark? | | | Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Backlight, and then the Battery power or External power tab. You may find that if you use battery power, the backlight automatically shuts down after 30 seconds by default; the external power shuts down after 1 minute by default. If you think these times are too short, you may extend them as needed.
|
| 5. | When I want to open a program or file, a warning message saying "not enough memory" pops up. What should I do about it? | | | Because your Pocket PC`s memory is shared by storage memory and program memory, the following methods are available. You may choose the one that works best for you
(1) Remove the programs you installed or that are not frequently used to release program memory space.
(2) Delete data that is not used frequently or is unnecessary to release storage memory space.
|
| 6. | The characters on the screen are too small to read. How can I enlarge them? | | | Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Screen, and then the Text size tab. You may adjust the text size as you wish. Besides, you can also change the screen from portrait to landscape desplay mode. Try and change them so that you can read more smoothly.
|
| 7. | The contact point of my stylus is not quite precise. What shall I do about it? | | | Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Screen, and then Align Screen button. Fix the screen in place, and the touch screen can respond to the operation of your stylus more precisely.
|
| 8. | The hardware key of my Pocket PC doesn’t make any response or calls the wrong program. What should I do about it? | | | Tap Start > Settings > Personal tab, and then Buttons. Check each button for correct setup.
|
| 9. | My Pocket PC`s Activesync cannot be executed or make a connection. What should I do about it? | | | (1) Make sure the charger cradle as well as the USB cable provided along with the product are already connected up to your PC end.
(2) Make sure you have installed the latest version Activesync 3.7.1. The CD accompanying the product contains the software. If you have lost the CD, you may download it from the Microsoft Website.
(3) Make sure you are not executing at the same time another program that also uses the serial port you selected for operation during installation.
(4) If your Activesync is still not working, remove the Activesync software at the PC end and install it once again.
