Windows Ce Overview; Starting Windows Ce - Juniper Allegro CE Owner's Manual

Windows CE Overview

This chapter describes the operation of the Allegro CE using
Microsoft ™ Windows ™ CE (3.0 and CE .NET). Each operating system
has a similar look and feel to a desktop PC Windows operating
system. Windows CE is designed for small, portable hand-held
computers like the Allegro. Windows CE gives the Allegro the ability
to communicate and share information with Windows-based
computers and the Internet by using ActiveSync.
Windows CE offers the following features:
❏ Compact operating system and application file sizes
❏ Advanced power management
❏ Communication flexibility
❏ Graphic user interface similar to Windows 98/2000
❏ Packaged programs, including PTab Spreadsheet, Pocket Word,
and Internet Explorer
❏ Multiple applications can run simultaneously
Windows CE has the same Windows interface you are familiar with if
you have used Windows on your desktop PC. You will find that you
already have much of the knowledge you need to use Windows CE
effectively. This chapter was written with the assumption that you
have a working knowledge of Windows.

Starting Windows CE

The first time you insert the battery pack into the Allegro you must
fully charge the batteries (see the Quick Start Guide). While the
Allegro is charging, you can turn it on. The Allegro loads and opens
to Windows CE. It takes a moment for the desktop to appear and
remain on the display. Various screens appear during the loading
process that do not require any action.
