Preface
Congratulations on purchasing Clio, the ideal PC Companion
powered by the Microsoft®Windows®CE operating system. The
size and capabilities of this device let you keep your most impor-
tant business and personal information up-to-date and close at
hand. Windows ActiveSync®with CE Services increases the
power of Clio by letting you synchronize the information on your
desktop or laptop computer with this device. Picture yourself in
the following situations:
•You’re on a business trip, getting important customer
feedback that you want to discuss with your colleagues back
in the office. Using Calendar, Contacts, and Inbox, you
schedule a meeting and send it to your colleagues while still
on the road.
•You are on the road taking customer orders. Using Pocket
Access, you create records for each customer with their order
information. At night, you connect to your network and
update the global database with your new orders. You also
download updates to the product information database you use
when making sales.
•You glance at the time and realize that you are going to be late
for the bus. You grab Clio and catch the bus just in time.
Because ActiveSync keeps the information on your device
always up-to-date, while on the bus, you leisurely read and
respond to the e-mail messages you did not have a chance to
get to during the day. Once at home, you use your device to
dial into the network at your company and send your replies.

•During a few spare minutes in the airport, you check your e-
mail and send a note to your daughter wishing her luck at the
gymnastics meet.

1Getting Acquainted with Clio
Before you start using Clio, you will need to charge the unit until
the orange indicator light on the front turns to green, indicating a
fully charged battery.
This chapter will show you how to:
1. Attach to AC power and charge the batteries.
When attached to AC power, the battery pack and backup
battery charge automatically, even when Clio is in use. Refer
to “Attaching to AC Power” on page 1-3.
Important: The first time you charge Clio, be sure that
your device remains connected to AC power
for twelve hours to fully charge both batteries.
You may use Clio during this time, but do not
remove it from the AC connection. This is only
required the first time you charge Clio.
2. Calibrate and personalize Clio.
Refer to “Calibrating and Personalizing the Device” on page
1-4.
