Getting your device ready

Installing the SIM card and battery

Before you can make a phone call using your P527, you need to install a Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card. A SIM card contains your phone number, subscriber details, phonebook, and additional phone memory.

Your P527 comes with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery.

New batteries come partially discharged and should be fully charged before using them. They generally do not reach their rated capacity until they have been charged and discharged at least four (4) times. We recommend that new batteries be charged overnight even though they may indicate that the charge is complete after a few hours. Sometimes charging may stop during the initial charge and it is necessary to remove the battery for approximately

fteen (15) minutes and then put it back on charge.

CAUTION:

Use only an ASUS qualied battery.

To install a SIM card and battery:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover.

NOTE:

When turned on, the device automatically turns off after you open the battery compartment to prevent data loss.

2. Remove the battery.

3. Insert the SIM card with its gold contacts facing down and the notched corner oriented to the upper left corner of the slot as shown.

4. Replace the battery into the compartment with its copper contacts properly aligned to the copper conductor on the device.

5. Replace battery compartment cover.

Charging the battery

The bundled battery pack is shipped partially charged. Charge the battery up to four (4) hours

before using for the rst time.

To charge battery:

1. Connect the AC adapter plug to the mini-USB connector at the bottom of the device.

2. Connect the AC power plug to a grounded wall socket or power strip.

NOTE:

• The notication LED turns red and charging battery icon appears on the status bar indicating that the battery is

charging.

• If your battery gets totally discharged, you need to recharge it for at least twenty minutes before you can turn it back on.

Starting up

Powering your device

Using ActiveSync™

ActiveSync™ allows you to synchronize data in your device with data in your computer. ActiveSync can also synchronize over a wireless or cellular network with Microsoft Exchange Server, provided that your cellular phone service or company is running Microsoft Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync. When synchronized directly with Exchange Server, you can stay up to date even when your PC is turned off.

During synchronization, ActiveSync compares the data in your device with the data in your computer or Exchange Server, and updates all data with recent changes.

You can select and synchronize data in the following locations using ActiveSync:

• Contacts

• Calendar

• Email

• Tasks

• Notes

• Favorites

• Files

• Media

You can also exchange data between your computer and device without synchronizing.

ActiveSync is already installed in your device, but before you can synchronize data with

your computer, you must rst install ActiveSync in your computer. Install ActiveSync from the

Microsoft Getting Started CD that came with your device package.

After you have installed ActiveSync, set up a sync relationship between your device and your computer. ActiveSync recognizes your device and automatically transfers the synchronization settings you have in your device.

If you wish to synchronize your device with Exchange Server through your company or service provider, obtain the name of the Exchange Server, user name, password, and domain name from your network administrator before starting the Sync Setup Wizard.

To install and congure ActiveSync in your computer:

1. Insert the Microsoft Getting Started CD that came with your device package.

2. Follow succeeding screen instructions.

3. After the setup is complete, the Sync Setup Wizard automatically starts when you connect your device to your computer. Follow screen instructions to complete the wizard.

4. From the Sync Setup Wizard, you can:

• Congure an Exchange Server connection to synchronize directly with an Exchange

Server. Acquire from your network administrator the required parameters for input.
