You can view details such as the number of messages to be sent, deleted, and copied, and the number of attachments to be downloaded.  Download message from the server: When you download messages, you need to create two connections: a remote connection and a mail server connection. The remote connection connects you and your ISP or network. The mail server connection downloads messages from your mail server to Inbox on your device. When you select Services> Connect in Inbox, Inbox starts a remote connection using the connection you specified when setting up the current mail service. If you are already connected through a remote connection other than the one you specified in the service, you will be asked if you want to use the current connection. If you choose not to, you will need to disconnect from the current connection before you can check for new messages.  Select the Services menu and make sure that the service you want to use is selected (the selected service has a bullet next to it.)  Select Services> Connect. The messages on your device and mail server are synchronized: new messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder, messages in the device Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been deleted on the server are removed from the device Inbox. Double-tap a message list to open it.  If you read a message and decide that you need the full copy, select File> Get Full Copy while in the message window or Services> Get Full Copy while in list view. This will also download message attachments and meeting requests if you have those options selected in the Inbox Preferences dialog box. You can also choose to download
5-8 full copies of messages by default.  When finished, select Services> Connect to disconnect. You also need to disconnect your dial-up connection by double-tapping the icon in the status bar and selecting Disconnect. Notes:  Receiving entire messages consumes storage memory.  The size column in the Inbox list view displays the local size and server size of a message. Even when a message has been downloaded fully, these numbers may differ because the size of a message can very between the server and the device.  When using IMAP4 to get Outlook + data, you will see the contents of your Journal folder. File editing transactions and documents (such as Task items, e-mail message, and Word documents) attached using drag and drop will appear as shortcuts on the device. A copy of the document will not be moved to your device, and the shortcut on the device cannot be used to access the documents associated with a journal entry to the device, attach the document to the entry rather than dragging and dropping it. Also, be sure to set your IMAP4 service to receive full copies of messages, attachments, and meeting requests. For more information on using Journal, see the Help for the desktop version of Outlook.  Working with Message Attachments:  If you receive messages through a remote mail server, in Inbox on the device, select the Get file attachments and meeting requests (IMAP4) or Get meeting requests (POP3) setting in the Inbox Preferences dialog box. For more information, see Set Inbox preferences. Notes:  Embedded images and OLE objects cannot be received as attachments  Embedded messages can be viewed as an attachment when using IMAP4 to receive e-mail. However, this features does not work if TNEF is enabled so that you can receive meeting requests.  Check attachments status:  An attachment sent with an e-mail message, whether it has been downloaded or not, will appear as an icon at the bottom of the message in its own window pane. If you don’t see this pane, select File> Attachments> Show Attachments. If TNEF is turned on so you can receive meeting requests, you will not see attachments until they are fully downloaded.  To mark an attachment for downloading in a POP3 or IMAP4 service, double-click it. The attachment will be downloaded the next time you
5-9 connect. You can also set Inbox to download attachments automatically when you get a full copy of a message. For more information, see Receive attachments.  Open an attachment:  With the message open, double-tap the attachment’s icon at the bottom of the message. If you don’t see this pane, select File> Attachments> Show Attachments.  Store an attachment:  Select Service> Options> Storage tab.  Select to store attachments on internal RAM or a storage card.  If you use more than one storage card, select it from the list.

A-21 A.3.15 OCR-A, OCR-B, US Currency Use this section to program the imager to read machine readable fonts used in optical character recognition (OCR). The imager reads 6 to 60 point OCR typeface. OCR Mode  OCR-A  OCR-B  U.S. Currency Serial Number (Money)  MICR E-13B  SEMI Font You can either select an OCR default, or create your own custom template for the type of OCR format you intend to read. See "OCR Templates" if you want to create a custom “template” or character string that defines the length and content of OCR strings that will be read with your imager.
A-22 Note: Setting the template and check character options are essential for OCR reading. OCR Off turns off all OCR capability in the scanner, so the scanner will be able to scan linear, stacked, matrix, and composite bar codes, but not OCR fonts. In addition, any OCR templates you have created are erased. The 8 digit default templates are reinstated for any future use of the OCR-A, OCR-B, or U.S. Currency fonts. If you select OCR-A, OCR-B, or U.S. Currency you can scan characters in that font. The default setting allows you to scan any 8 digit combination. If you have created an OCR template, character combinations that fit the template can be scanned (see Creating an OCR Template). OCR Direction The OCR Direction setting can be used to prevent misreads of character strings that could be interpreted differently in different orientations when you know the orientation of the characters that are being read in relation to the imager (e.g., 80086996 could read as 80086996 or 96698008). Default = Left-to-Right (LtoR) OCR Templates You can create a custom “template”, or character string that defines the length and content of OCR strings that will be read with your imager. There are several choices when creating a custom template for your application. You can create a template for a single format, you can string together several formats, and you can create a template for a user-defined variable. These choices are described in detail below. Creating an OCR Template A single template allows you to program the imager to read any combination of characters in the order you specify. Refer to examples that follow the Template Characters table below. Template Characters\ a represents any alphanumeric character (digit or letter) c represents a check character position d represents any digit e represents any available OCR character g represents character from user-defined variable “g” h represents character from user-defined variable “h” l represents any uppercase letter t marks the start of a new template
A-23 r multi row indicator All other characters represent themselves. Spaces can be used. Note: In MICR E13 B templates, TOAD characters (capital letters T, O, A, and D), represent Transit, On Us, Amount, and Dash. Note: OCR templates default to eight digits, no check character. To Add an OCR Template 1. Turn on the OCR font you want to read. 2. Begin building the template. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol. 3. Scan the characters for the string. Use the Template Characters chart above to determine what characters you need to create your format. Use the OCR Programming Chart (after the Sample Codes in the back of this manual) to scan the characters for your template. Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits. The template would be: To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol, and then scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual eight times. Scan Save OCR Template. This would let you read any string of eight digits, for example: Character Match Sequences On the ASCII Conversion Chart (Code Page 1252), page A-4, find the Hex value that represents the character(s) you want to match. Use the Programming Chart (inside the back cover) to scan the numbers that represent these characters. Example: You need to read three digits, three specific characters (ABC), three digits. The template would be: To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol. Scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual three times. Then scan 414243 from the inside back cover (the hex characters for “A,” “B,” and “C”), and scan the d three more times. Scan Save
A-24 OCR Template. This would let you read any string of three digits, “ABC,” then any string of three digits, for example: Adding Spaces You may also need to put spaces in your template. Example: You need to read three digits, space, three specific characters (ABC), space, three digits. The template would be: To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol. Scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual three times, and then scan 2041424320 from the Programming Chart on the inside back covers (the hex characters for “space,” “A,” “B,” “C,” “space”). Scan the d three more times, and then scan Save OCR Template. This would let you read any string of three digits, space, “ABC,” space, and then any string of three digits. For example: Note: If using Quick*View to program, use the space bar to designate a space and not the hex value of 20. 4. Exit OCR Template Editor Scan Save OCR Template to save your entries. Discard OCR Template exits without saving any OCR Template changes. Stringing Together Multiple Formats (Creating “Or” Statements) You may want to program the imager to accept many OCR formats. To do this, you would string together each format with a “t.” This tells the imager to read optical characters that match any one of the formats in the template. Example: You need to read any combination of eight digits, or a combination of four digits, two uppercase letters, and two digits. The template would be: To create this template, you would enable the OCR-A font. Scan the Enter OCR Template symbol. Scan the d from the OCR Programming Chart in the back of this manual eight times, then scan the t to create the “or” statement. Then you would scan the characters for the second template. Scan d four times, scan l two times, then scan
A-25 d two more times. Scan Save OCR Template. This would let you read either type of format, for example: You can string together as many templates as you need. OCR Template Codes Note: Reading more than three rows of OCR is not recommended. Contact the factory if you have an application that requires reading four or more rows of OCR. † One or more two-digit numbers and Save are required after reading this programming symbol. Refer to the Programming Chart on the inside the back cover of this manual. Exit Selections

Then, click OK. ● Delete to delete the fast call contact from the list. ● Extract from Contacts to retrieve the properties of the contact from your Contacts ● Dial to call the selected contact.
B-15 B.4.3 Receiving a call Ringer The dialer issues a ringing sound to alert you to a caller trying to reach you. The tune played at this time can depend on how the caller is recorded in your Contacts folder. You can in fact specify contacts in your folder (Work, Friends, Family, etc.) and list your callers in one of them. Refer to the user manual for your digital assistant for further information on this subject. The application may be configured to play different tunes depending on the category of the caller. If this is the case, the application searches in the Contacts folder for an entry associated with the number, it then determines its category and, having done so, plays the tune you have configured for it. Warning! This will only work if the caller does not withhold his or her number. Information If the caller's number has not been withheld and if the caller is listed in Contacts, the dialer will display his or her name. If he or she is not listed, only the number will be displayed. If the caller's number has been withheld, the dialer will then display Number Withheld. Accepting / Rejecting a call Click the green button to accept the call and click the red button to reject it. Receiving SMS messages SMS messages are downloaded automatically as soon as your communications equipment informs the application that messages have been received. If the message received has high priority, its content is displayed automatically; otherwise you have to operate the Envelope button to read it.
B-16 B.4.4 Logs The application records dates, durations and caller identifiers as the dialer is used, dividing them into three categories: missed calls, received calls and outgoing calls. You can look up details of these lists by pressing the Logs button. This will take you to a tabbed box listing the calls logged by category and, under the Voice counters tab, the various cumulative totals recorded, with a facility for resetting the counters. B.5 Internet connection The Internet connection button enables connections to be made to Internet and to start up applications associated with it (see connections). Warning! On most equipment, the fact of connecting to the Internet prevents the dialer from being used. Use the red button to disconnect the Internet access session.

B.6 SMS What is the 'Short Message Service' (SMS)? The Short Message Service enables you to send messages in text format (160 characters maximum) over a mobile phone network. This service requires a specific subscription. Short messages are first sent to the SMS Center, which is part of the mobile phone network, which then forward them to the recipients. Received messages are stored in the memory. You cannot receive any more new messages once this memory is full. For this reason, ensure you delete them regularly or configure the application so it transfers them to your assistant. Configuring Configuring the service center 1. Starting from the main interface, select Tools > Settings and click the Network Operator link. 2. Select your country and mobile telephony operator. The number of the default
B-18 Service Center is displayed. If it is not the number sent by your network operator, you can change it manually. 3. You can also use the Automatic detection button for the application to interrogate your equipment and configure these settings. 4. Enter the number for the answering machine suggested by your network operator. It will be used by the dialer. 5. Click OK to confirm. Configuring SMS messages 1. Starting from the main interface, select Tools > Settings and click the SMS link. Sending: Validity period: if your message cannot be delivered immediately, the service center can record it and resend it later. This list specifies for how long your message will be repeated. Message type: to be used in very specific cases, this option configures the message format in line with the service center and the recipient.
B-19 Receiving: Transferring SMS messages received: they may be either copied or moved from the communications equipment to the digital assistant. If you opt for the "copy" mode (option unchecked), messages received will accumulate in the communications equipment until it fills up and you risk losing messages to come.
