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

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.
