chapter 1

INTRODUCING THE DEVICE

Welcome to the colorful world of the Compaq Aero 2100 Series (referred

to as the "device" throughout this reference guide). Powered by

Microsoft's Windows CE operating system, the Aero 2100 is designed to

provide you quick and convenient access to critical information while

away from your PC. It fits neatly in your pocket and acts as a mobile

extension to your PC, letting you access and organize important

information such as your contacts, schedule and task list wherever you go.

Best of all, the Aero 2100 Series features a bright, high resolution, color

TFT display that greatly enhances the crispness of text and pictures so that

you can view more information at a glance. New reflective technology

ensures the Compaq Aero 2100 Series display is as easy to read in bright

outdoor environments as it is in low-light indoor settings. You can even

make changes to your data or add new data by using the stylus and the

software keyboard or the Jot handwriting recognition system. Because its

Windows CE interface closely emulates the Windows interface on your

PC, the Aero 2100 Series is the most intuitive way to stay productive and

access, organize and exchange information with a Windows-based PC.

This chapter describes the following features:
