IMPORTANT SAFETY

INFORMATION

Please read these safety instructions and the operation instructions provided in this manual before operating the iPAQ BlackBerry H1100 Handheld or its charging cradle. Retain these instructions for future use.

Remember to follow any special regulations governing the use of the iPAQ BlackBerry H1100 Handheld and always switch it off in areas where radio devices are forbidden, or when it may cause interference or danger. Any safety laws and regulations pertaining to the use of cell phones and two-way radios will likely apply to your use of the handheld. We encourage you to follow such laws and regulations at all times. In particular, please observe all restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants, where blasting operations are in progress or in any other area in which restrictions on radio transmissions are imposed. In addition, the iPAQ BlackBerry H1100 Handheld should not be used in locations that may be hazardous including, without limitation, locations in which hazardous or combustible gases may be present.

The iPAQ BlackBerry H1100 Handheld is not an FAA-approved electronic device for use on aircraft. Switch off the handheld when in an aircraft. The effect of the use of the handheld in an aircraft is unknown. Such use may affect aircraft instrumentation, communication and performance, may disrupt the network, and may be illegal.

Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including the handheld, may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices, including pacemakers. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device if you have any

questions. Additionally, while most modern equipment is adequately shielded from radio signals such that your handheld will not interfere with the operation of such equipment, certain electronic equipment, including automotive systems, may not be shielded against the radio signals from your handheld. You should check with the manufacturer of your motor vehicle or the manufacturer’s representative to determine whether the use of the handheld will present any safety issues.

Avoid using the handheld in any environment requiring your full attention, such as when driving a vehicle. If you need to use your handheld while driving, have a passenger in the vehicle use the handheld for you, or find a safe location to halt your vehicle prior to using the handheld. Do not use the charging cradle as a means of storing your handheld while in a vehicle.

WARNING Do not use any cradle, charging unit, or any other accessory or attachment that is not manufactured by RIM or supplied by Compaq or an authorized Compaq accessories supplier. Use of any accessory or attachment that is not supplied or approved for use by Compaq in conjunction with the handheld is not permitted as it may cause hazards.

Do not place the iPAQ BlackBerry H1100 Handheld or its charging cradle on any unstable surface, such as a cart, stand, tripod, bracket, or table. It may fall, causing serious injury to a child or adult, and serious damage to the handheld.

Discard the handheld properly. As the unit contains a lithium battery, neither the handheld nor the lithium battery should be disposed of in fire. Dispose of the handheld containing the lithium battery in accordance with the laws and regulations in your area governing disposal of such cell types. Contact Compaq if you have any questions concerning disposal of the handheld or the lithium cell.

The handheld should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the marking label. Refer to the operating instructions starting on page 23 for more information on the battery and power supply. Do not overload wall outlets, extension cords, or integral convenience receptacles as this may result in a risk of fire or electric shock.

Never push objects of any kind into the iPAQ BlackBerry H1100 Handheld through openings as they may short-out parts and this may result in a fire or electric shock. Never spill liquid of any kind on the handheld or its charging cradle. Unplug the charging cradle from the wall before cleaning. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.

WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose the handheld, charging cradle, or the adapter to rain or moisture.

WARNING To reduce risk of fire or burns, do not disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire or water. Replace only with the appropriate Compaq spare.

WARNING To reduce the risk of electrical shock, fire or damage to the equipment, do not use converter kits sold for appliances to power the cradle.

CAUTION Ensure that the electrical outlet you plug the AC Adapter into is easily accessible to you at all times. When you want to disconnect power from the cradle, unplug the AC Adapter from the electrical outlet.

Unplug the charging cradle from the wall and refer the handheld and charging cradle for service to qualified personnel if:

the power supply cord or plug is damaged

liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the handheld or charging cradle

objects have fallen into the handheld or charging cradle

the handheld or charging cradle has been exposed to rain or water

the handheld or charging cradle has been dropped or damaged in any way

the handheld or charging cradle does not operate normally by following the instructions contained in this manual

the handheld or charging cradle exhibits a distinct change in performance.

IMPORTANT UL SAFETY

INSTRUCTIONS

Read these instructions. Keep these instructions. Heed all warnings. Follow all instructions.

Do not use this apparatus near water. Clean only with a dry cloth.

Do not install near any heat sources, such as radiators, heat registers, stoves, or other apparatus (including amplifiers) that produce heat.

Do not defeat the safety purpose of the polarized or grounding-type plug. A polarized plug has two blades with one wider than the other. A grounding-type plug has two blades and a third grounding prong. The wide blade or the third prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet, consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched particularly at plugs, convenience receptacles, and the point where they exit from the apparatus.

Only use attachments/accessories specified by the manufacturer.

Unplug this apparatus during lightning storms or when used for long periods of time.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the apparatus has been damaged in any way, such as when the power-supply cord or plug has been damaged, liquid has been spilled or objects have fallen into the apparatus, it has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally, or has been dropped.

WARNING To reduce the risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

Adjust only those controls that are covered in this manual. An improper adjustment of other controls may result in damage and will often require extensive work by a qualified technician to restore the handheld or charging cradle to its normal operation.

Failure to observe all safety instructions contained in this manual will void the Limited Warranty, and may lead to suspension or denial of services to the offender, or legal action, or both.

Get to know your handheld

This chapter will help you get acquainted with your handheld before you start sending and receiving email.

Handheld components

Figure 1: Front view of handheld

Here are some details on the handheld’s main components:

LCD screen

The LCD screen is your interface with functions such as composing and reading messages, setting tasks and appointments, viewing and editing contact information, customizing device options, and

performing basic mathematical calculations. The Home screen displays the current signal strength and battery level of the handheld.

In low light conditions, you can increase the readability of the LCD by using the backlighting feature. To activate backlighting, press the silver key once. The backlight will shut off automatically if you do not press any keys or use the trackwheel for more than 20 seconds. (You can manually turn off the backlighting by pressing the silver key again.)

Keyboard and trackwheel

The 33-key QWERTY keyboard provides access to all of the regular alphabetic characters; numeric characters, a symbols library, punctuation, and special characters can be generated using the orange ALT key in combination with the other keys. For easy typing, hold the device in both hands and use your thumbs. Roll and click the trackwheel for navigation and selection.

A trackwheel that clicks!

The trackwheel on the handheld has a unique feature for greater usability and performance: it clicks! Pressing down on the trackwheel with your thumb is comparable to the clicking function of your PC mouse. Click to open menus and to select functions and menu options.

Holster (belt clip)

A holster, equipped with a belt clip, accompanies the handheld. While in the holster, the handheld is protected and wearable. You can choose different forms of message notification based on whether the handheld is in or out of the holster.

When you receive a new message and remove the handheld from the holster within five seconds, notification (based on how you’ve

set it) stops and the most recently received message will be open. If you pull the handheld out of the holster and quickly replace it, notification stops but the message will remain marked unread. See “Setting message notification” on page 39 for information on notification options.

Serial port

The serial port on the bottom of the handheld fits into the prongs of the docking cradle. You must connect the docking cradle to your PC to use the Desktop Software (provided on the CD with your package).

The Desktop Software supports standard USB-to-serial port converters. See Chapter 3, “Using the Desktop Software”, for more information on installation procedures and serial connection details.

Docking cradle

The docking cradle provides a link between the handheld and your PC, so that you may use the Desktop Software provided with your package. See Chapter 3, “Using the Desktop Software” for more information on the cradle and the capabilities of the Desktop Software.

Charger

The handheld is designed to operate for one week or more on a full charge; exact battery life, however, will depend on factors such as usage and quality of coverage. The handheld contains an internal lithium cell. The docking cradle (see description above) is also used to recharge this cell.

To charge the handheld, connect the AC adapter to the cradle's serial port connector, plug into a wall outlet, and insert the handheld into the cradle. The Desktop Software does not need to be running for charging to occur, nor does the cradle need to be

connected to your PC. When the handheld is charging, the battery icon will change to a charging icon. Once the handheld is fully charged, the battery icon will replace the charging icon. See page 35 for a list of handheld status icons.

The handheld can be kept at a full charge by “topping up” the battery every day for 10-15 minutes. From an empty battery, a full charge can be achieved in approximately 3 hours. It is not necessary to drain the battery completely before recharging.

If the battery level becomes too low, the signal strength bars (located in the top right corner of the Home screen, next to the battery icon) will be replaced by “BAT”. This is an indication that it is time to recharge the handheld. In this state, all radio functions, such as sending and receiving email, will be disabled until the battery is recharged.

Turning on your handheld

When you receive your handheld, you must first insert it into the charging cradle and allow it to charge to full battery power. (You can view the strength of the battery in the top right corner of the Home screen.) See page 53 for more information on connecting your handheld to your PC.
