your service provider for a replacement SIM card. There may be fees for this
service.

Your device contains a rechargeable Li-ion polymer battery. This device
is designed to use only manufacturer-specified original batteries and
accessories. Battery performance depends on many factors, including
your wireless service provider’s network configuration, signal strength, the
temperature of the environment in which you operate your device, the

Tips on using Smart Dialing

Smart Dialing starts looking for numbers or contacts that match the
sequence you have entered. Below are some tips on how to use Smart
Dialing to quickly find a desired phone number or contact.

To find a phone number

• Simply enter the first one or two digits to find a phone number in Call

History.

• Enter the first three digits or more if you want to find a phone number

from the saved contacts on your device and SIM card.

To find a contact name

You can just enter the first letter of a contact’s first name or surname. Smart
Dialing will search for the letter starting from the first character of a contact
name as well as from the character that appears after a space, dash, or
underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap number “2” which is
associated with [a, b, c] on the Phone keypad, contact names such as the
following will be considered matches: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “John­Carter”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”, “Thomas_Clark”, “JaneCampbell”.

If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search further,
enter another letter. Using the same example above, if you continue to
tap “3” which is associated with [d, e, f], the matching list will be narrowed
down to the following names: “

Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”,

“Dixon, Allan”.

Make a call or send a text message using Smart Dialing

1. Begin entering the first few numbers or characters.

2. In the Smart Dialing panel, browse the list by tapping the arrows

5.7 Resetting Your Pocket PC Phone

Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A normal (or soft) reset
of your device clears all active programme memory and shuts down all
active programmes. This can be useful when your device is running slower
than normal, or a programme is not performing properly. A soft reset is
also necessary after the installation of some programmes. If a soft reset is
performed when programmes are running, unsaved work will be lost.

You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard
reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a system
problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default settings - the
way it was when you first purchased it and turned it on. Any programmes
you installed, data you entered, and settings you customised on your
device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software and other pre-installed
programmes will remain.

To perform a soft reset

• Use the stylus to press the RESET

button found at the bottom of your
device. Your device restarts and
displays the Today screen.
