The MobilePro is powered by the Microsoft Windows Powered Pocket PC 2002 operating
system. Data synchronizing between the MobilePro and your computer is provided by Microsoft
ActiveSync.
Standard features include a 206-MHz Intel®Strong ARM processor, 32-MB synchronous
dynamic random access memory (SDRAM), reflective LCD panel with 65K color, touch screen
with automatic backlighting, internal speaker, microphone, an internal rechargeable Lithium Ion
battery, and a removable LCD cover. Touch screen backlighting and brightness levels are
adjustable.
The MobilePro includes an infrared (IR) port, CompactFlash (CF) card slot, and Secure Digital
(SD) card slot. You can use the IR port to transfer data between other handheld devices with IR

Your MobilePro P300 contains a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery. The battery must be charged
before you use the MobilePro the first time and periodically recharged thereafter. As the battery
is rechargeable, you do not need to constantly replace batteries.
Battery power is monitored by your MobilePro P300. Warning messages and battery low icons

You can leave the MobilePro in the cradle and the AC adapter connected to keep your battery
charged.
Note Whenever possible, keep your MobilePro connected to the AC adapter and a power
source. Doing so keeps the battery charged.

Your MobilePro is now ready to use. The following sections describe the MobilePro’s three
basic screens and how to use them for performing functions. Also included is information for
installing ActiveSync on your computer.
Learn the Basics
There are three basic screens you need to know about to get started. These are the Today screen,
the Navigation Bar screen, and the My Menu screen.
The first screen that you normally see on startup is the Today screen. This screen displays your
important events (for example, current date and time, your name, upcoming appointments,
unread messages, tasks).
Tapping or tapping Start on the Today screen with the stylus takes you to the Navigation Bar
screen. At the Navigation Bar, you can select and access the programs available on your
MobilePro. Tap Start to go back to the Today screen.
The My Menu screen is opened by pressing or tapping the My Menu button on the front of the
MobilePro. Using My Menu is a fast and easy way to access many of the tasks and programs
available on the MobilePro.
Your actions on these basic screens are controlled with the stylus. The stylus is used as follows.
!Tap — touch the screen once with the stylus to open programs and select options.
!Drag — hold the stylus on the screen and drag across the screen to select text and images.
Drag in a list to select multiple items.
!Tap and Hold — tap and hold the stylus on an item to see a list of actions available for that
item. On the displayed pop-up menu, tap the action that you want to perform.
See the following sections for more information on using the Today screen, Navigation Bar, My
Menu screen, and stylus.

Get Started 1-13
Today Screen
The Today screen normally appears whenever you power up the MobilePro. On the Today
screen, you can see at a glance your important information for the day. The following figure
shows a typical Today screen and what you can do from it.
Typical Today Screen
At the top of the screen is the Start bar. The bar displays the current time and any active
program. The bar also allows you to switch to programs and close screens.
From the Today screen, you can select any of the listed activities by tapping on your selection
with the stylus. For example, if you just activated your MobilePro, you might want to enter your
name as the owner. Do this as follows.
1. At the Today screen, tap Tap here to set owner information.
2. At the Owner Information screen, tap the keyboard icon at the lower right of the screen. The
keyboard is displayed.
3. Tap once in the Name field. A blinking cursor appears, indicating that you can enter data.
4. Use the keyboard to tap in your name, just as you would with your computer keyboard.
5. If you make a mistake and need to remove a letter(s) or remove a word(s), you can
!correct minor mistakes by placing the cursor after the letter or letters to be deleted and
pressing the backspace arrow on the keyboard to delete the letter or letters.
!highlight a whole word(s) with the stylus and pressing and holding the stylus on the
word(s). A pop-up menu gives options to Undo, Cut, Copy, Paste, Clear, or Select All.
6. When done, click OK. Your changes are saved and the Today screen is displayed with your
name as the owner.
At the bottom of the Today screen is the Command Bar. Tapping New on the bar lists several
tasks that you can tap to open. Use this as a short cut to open any of the listed tasks.
By using the stylus and several control buttons, you can open tasks from the Today screen and
Navigation Bar and enter or read data at selected screens.

1-14 Get Started
Navigation Bar Screen
To switch to the Navigation Bar screen, tap or tap Start at the top of the Today screen. The
Navigation Bar is displayed on the Today screen.
From the Navigation Bar, you can select any one of the listed activities by tapping on your
selection with the stylus. You can also use the navigation buttons on the front of the MobilePro
or the scroll dial on the side of the MobilePro to scroll up or down, then open the highlighted
program by pressing the dial.
Typical Navigation Bar Screen
The Start bar at the top of the screen displays the time and one or more status icons. The bar also
displays the icon which you can tap to return to the Today screen.
To select a program from the Navigation Bar (for example, Contacts), tap or tap Contacts.
You can also tap the Contacts button on the front of the MobilePro. Note the Contacts command
bar at the bottom of the screen.
The Contacts command bar has a New button for creating a new contact, a View button for
changing the way the contacts are displayed (by name, by company), a Tools button for
beaming contacts and changing various settings, and an input panel button. Tapping the input
panel button displays a keyboard which you can use to create or edit a contact.
You can also input information by writing data on the screen. Tap the triangle in the lower right
corner of the screen, and tap Block Recognizer, Letter Recognizer, or Transcriber. For
information on using each input device, tap ?(Help) to open a help screen.
Close the open activity by tapping Xin the upper right corner of the screen. If you changed
anything, tap the appropriate program command to save the changes.
Many of the programs available on your MobilePro are selected and used in a manner similar to
that described for Contacts.
The following table lists some of the programs that might be on your MobilePro. To see what
you actually have on your MobilePro, tap Start to open the Navigation Bar screen to see a list.
To see additional programs, tap Programs. Also look on the Companion CD and SD card for
more programs that you might want to install.
