Setting Up the Handheld
The Grayhill Handheld is shipped with a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery, which is not installed at
time of shipment. Some initial setup is required.
Charging the Handheld
Before using your Handheld for the first time, charge its battery for about three (3) hours, connecting
the Handheld to an electrical outlet using the Grayhill Charging cable.
A completely charged battery will power the Handheld for eight (6-8) hours of maximum power
consumption, depending upon the type of battery ordered with the system.
Charging the Battery Using the AC Adapter
Attach the AC adapter to the Handheld’s external connector, then connect the power cord to an
electrical outlet. Refer to Figure 5.
WARNING: Use only a Grayhill-approved AC adapter with the Handheld. Use of another AC adapter
may cause a fire or an explosion. Always connect the AC adapter first to the Handheld. Use the adapter
with a properly grounded supply to avoid electric shock. Before plugging the power cord into the wall
socket, make sure its voltage and frequency match that of the AC adapter. If using an extension cord with
the AC adapter provided, ensure that the total current rating of the product does not exceed the current
rating of the extension cord.

Field Swapping the Battery
The Handheld is designed to permit quick field swapping of the battery. It features ride-through technology that allows
users a full 45 seconds to swap the battery without requiring a hard-boot of the system.
Battery Charging and Usage Tips
The batteries that may be used with the handheld utilize smart charging and smart gauging technology. To see the status
of the battery during discharge or charge, tap the Battery Icon in the lower portion of the display or simply open the
Battery control panel applet. To avoid damaging the battery when the handheld is not in use for more than 24 hours, the
battery should always be removed from the unit. Likewise, it should never be stored fully discharged or charged; rather,
it is recommended that the battery be stored at roughly 50% capacity. Should the battery discharge completely and not be
re-charged for long periods of time, its built-in recovery technology will minimize damage during re-charge. During this
interval, the unit is in "Zero Volt Discharge" recovery mode and it may seem that the battery is taking longer than usual to
charge. In fact, it may take several hours for the battery to recover and re-charge depending upon its state of discharge.

Wired Communications
Wired data communications allow transfer of files for storage on your desktop or laptop; and installation of software
components on the Handheld.
Installing ActiveSync on Your Computer
ActiveSync is pre-installed on your Handheld, but may not be installed on your desktop or laptop computer. Run a search
for ActiveSync on your regular computer if unsure whether or not it is installed on the computer.
If the ActiveSync application is not present on your regular computer, install ActiveSync from the Handheld Product CD.
You can also download the most current version of ActiveSync from
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync/activesync45.mspx

ActiveSync should be installed. We recommend the default folder. Click Next.
Choosing the ActiveSync Partnership Type
ActiveSync offers two ways to connect from the Handheld to your computer. These different types of connections are
called partnerships. When installing, the next ActiveSync dialog asks you to choose either the Standard Partnership or
the Guest Partnership. There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of partnership (see Table, following page).

Standard Partnership
If ease of connecting and storing data is what you want, choose the Standard Partnership to have your data automatically
synchronized each time you connect using ActiveSync. You can establish one Standard Partnership with your regular
computer, or you can establish two Standard Partnerships – perhaps one with your desktop computer, and one with your
laptop.
Guest Partnership
Choose a Guest Partnership if you share a computer with someone else, or if you are borrowing someone else’s computer.
You can set up multiple Guest Partnerships. If you can’t decide on a partnership type, establish a Guest Partnership while
you evaluate the benefits of a Standard Partnership. Remember that, with a Guest Partnership, you can opt for a Standard
Partnership connection each time you connect.
Indicating Your Partnership Choice
Once you have decided on the partnership type, click the checkbox next to the appropriate category, and click Next.
Choosing a Name for Your Handheld
Enter a unique name for your Handheld in the next dialog box, and click Next.
Selecting Information for Synchronization
If you have selected a Standard Partnership, the next dialog will ask you to indicate data type targets, such as the
Calendar, Inbox, etc., that you would like automatically synchronized. Select the checkboxes next to data types you want
ActiveSync to automatically synchronize. Deselect the checkboxes next to data types that are not to be automatically
synchronized. To customize settings for each program, select the data type, then click the Settings… button. When
finished, click Next.
