Configuring the Pocket PC
You can already choose from a large number of programs when you use the Pocket PC for the first
time. In addition, proven default settings are defined for the menu structure, energy management,
memory management and security functions.
But, of course, you can add and remove programs and configure the Pocket PC as desired.
This chapter shows you how to
●
optimise the energy management of your Pocket PC
●
adjust the menus to your personal needs
●
use the security functions
●
change the time and use the alarm functions
For information on removing and adding programs, please refer to the documentation from the
software manufacturer and the
ActiveSync
help file, that you can call at any time after installing
ActiveSync
on your notebook/PC.
We describe the configuration of the
FSC SpeedMenu
in the "Editing FSC SpeedMenu" chapter in this
manual and in the
FSC SpeedMenu
help on your Pocket PC.
Optimising energy management
General information on energy management
The battery operating time is considerably dependent on the applications used. Please consider that
a particularly large amount of energy is required to play sound files or make sound recordings.
Therefore, if you want to work for up to 12 hours without a power connection, limit the use of energy-
intensive applications.
Data exchange with a PC or notebook also consumes additional battery power. Therefore, always
connect your Pocket PC to an electrical outlet during data exchange if possible.
We also recommend that you reduce the display brightness to effectively save energy and therefore
appreciably increase the time you can work with the battery.
