For better recognition, use the Tools menu to increase the zoom level to 300%. Write the letters of a word close together and leave big gaps between words. Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents and some punctuation cannot be converted. If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing a "3" to an "8") after you attempt to recognize the word, the writing you add will not be included if you attempt to recognize the writing again.
Drawing on the Screen
You can draw on the screen in the same way that you write on the screen. The difference between writing and drawing on the screen is how you select items and how they can be edited. For example, selected drawings can be resized, while writing cannot.
22
Creating a Drawing

Recording Formats
Your Yakumo alpha GPS supports several formats for voice notes. The formats vary in both the quality of the recording and the size of the sound file.

Managing the Yakumo Managing Your Yakumo alpha GPS alpha GPS
This chapter tells you how to effectively manage power, memory, settings, data and programs of your Yakumo alpha GPS.
3.1 Power Management
You must maintain a continuous power supply to your Yakumo alpha GPS to retain your data, including any information, programs or settings that you have added to your Yakumo alpha GPS. A fully charged battery should provide power for up to 8 hours of use. The operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using the Yakumo alpha GPS. Some functions, such as using multimedia or operating an SD/MMC card, may consume a considerable amount of battery power.
Low Battery Signals and Actions
Caution: Though your Yakumo alpha GPS can retain data for 72 hours after its battery runs completely out of power, you must constantly charge the battery of your Yakumo alpha GPS. This can prevent data loss or damage to the battery caused by the battery's being kept in a discharged state for too long. When you recharge the battery upon a warning of low power, you should charge for at least 30 minutes. If you unplug the AC adapter too soon, you may not have sufficient battery power for operation.
You can monitor the battery power by tapping Settings System tab Power icon. The remaining power is displayed on a status bar in the Power control panel. When the battery is low, your Yakumo alpha GPS will pop up a warning message. You should save your data and recharge the battery immediately upon a warning of low power; otherwise your Yakumo alpha GPS will turn off automatically. You will need to connect the Yakumo alpha GPS to external AC power for charging
27
before you can use it again. If the battery completely runs out of power, you will lose all information, programs and/or settings that you have added.
28
Power-Saving Tips
Follow these suggestions to maximize the battery's operating time, particularly when you are relying solely on battery power for extended time periods. Suspend frequently. By default, the screen backlight will automatically turn off and the Yakumo alpha GPS will also turn off when it has been idle for a period of time. You can Settings System tab Power shorten the length of the idle time using Advanced tab to set up. Press the power button to turn off your Yakumo alpha GPS when it is not in use, even for a short time. You can also manually turn off the backlight by pressing and holding the power button. Turn off functions not needed or adjust settings. Lower the volume. Do not enable sounds or light flashing except for the most necessary Settings Personal tab Sounds & Notifications notifications. (Tap icon to set up.) Remove the SD/MMC card, if installed, from the slot if you are not using it. Avoid power-consuming situations such as: When connecting your Yakumo alpha GPS to your desktop computer (Your Yakumo alpha GPS will not auto-suspend while it is connected.) When using a modem or other peripheral When monitoring infrared transfers (Although you can set your Yakumo alpha GPS to constantly monitor the IR port for files sent from other devices, doing so will quickly drain your battery.) When playing sound or music When recording.
29
3.2 Managing Memory
Storage and Program Memory
Caution: Files, settings and data that you add to your Yakumo alpha GPS are stored in RAM (Random Access Memory).
The RAM on your Yakumo alpha GPS is shared between storage memory and program memory. The RAM of your Yakumo alpha GPS is divided into a storage memory and a program memory. Storage memory Storage memory is used to store the data you create and additional programs you install. Program memory Program memory is used to run programs on your Yakumo alpha GPS. Your Yakumo alpha GPS automatically manages the allocation between storage and program memory. However, in some situations, such as when the memory is running out, your Yakumo alpha GPS may not be able to automatically adjust the allocation. (For information on solving memory problems, see section 7.4.)
Additional Memory
You can buy an SD/MMC storage card for backup, storage, archives or to transfer large files to other devices. Files stored on a storage card appear in a folder called SDMMC Disk, listed under My Device in the File Explorer application. Data stored on a storage card will be saved, even if your Yakumo alpha GPS loses power. To protect your data, you can back up regularly to a storage card. (For back up details, see section 3.5.)

3.5 Backing Up Data
To prevent loss of data, you should back up your Yakumo alpha GPS frequently. Your Yakumo alpha GPS comes with two programs for backing up data: Microsoft ActiveSync. ActiveSync enables you to back up data to your desktop computer. You can back up all data on your Yakumo alpha GPS or only your PIM databases (Calendar, Contacts and Tasks). You can set ActiveSync to back up automatically each time you connect or you can back up manually, whenever you choose. For more information, see ActiveSync Help on your desktop computer. Backup Restore A utility called Backup Restore is supplied with your Yakumo alpha GPS to let you easily back up data.
3.6 Adding or Removing Programs
Programs added to your Yakumo alpha GPS at the factory are stored in ROM (Read-Only Memory). You cannot remove the programs and you will never accidentally lose ROM contents. All other programs and data files added to your Yakumo alpha GPS after factory installations are stored in RAM. You can install any program created for your Yakumo alpha GPS as long as your Yakumo alpha GPS has enough memory. The most popular place to find software for your Yakumo alpha GPS is on the Pocket PC Web site (http://www.pocketpc.com).
Adding Programs
