Get to Know Your MobilePro P300
Your MobilePro P300 is a multifunction handheld device designed for ease of use in the office,
on the road, at home, or wherever you are.
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
capabilities or your computer. The CF and SD card slots can be used to expand memory, add
applications, and more.
Also included with the MobilePro is a cradle for holding the MobilePro, a USB synchronizing
cable, and an AC adapter. Use the cradle to charge the battery and to synchronize with your
computer.
Your MobilePro P300 comes with a stylus, a pen-like device that allows you to touch, tap, or
double tap objects on the MobilePro touch screen. The touch, tap, and double tap act just like a
point, click, and double click of a mouse.
The external features of the MobilePro P300 and cradle are shown and described in the
following sections.
