5 Tips to Make the Most of Your PDA

Read the manual. PDAs are all about efficiency, so learning about all of its features from the start can help speed data entry and lookup. Even if you've been using your PDA for a while, you might learn something new.

Set up a synchronization schedule. Synchronize your PDA with your PC at least once a day, perhaps when you arrive at the office or return home each day. Synchronizing makes data entry easier and acts as a backup in case your PDA is lost or stolen.

Secure your device. Use your PDA's password and data encryption features. Or switch to a device that offers biometric recognition based on fingerprints or facial characteristics, or signature recognition that requires you to literally sign on. If you trade in or give away your device, be sure to sanitize your data.

Go wireless. With a wireless connection, you can use your PDA to access your corporate network and email anytime you're near a Wi-Fi hotspot. For security, implement WEP (wireless encryption protocol).

Stay productive with accessories. PDAs can connect to full-size keyboards, portable printers, and Bluetooth mobile connectivity devices to help keep you productive while away from the office.
