phone function on board an airplane is against the law in most countries. If
you want to use this device when on board an aircraft, remember to turn off
the phone by switching to Flight Mode.
ENVIRONMENT RESTRICTIONS
Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or
where blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially explosive
atmospheres such as fuelling areas, fuel storehouses, below deck on
boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the
air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.
Please be aware that sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire
resulting in bodily injury or even death.
EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where
flammable materials exist, the product should be turned off and the user
should obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an
explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Users are advised
not to use the equipment at refueling points such as service or gas stations,
and are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio
equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations
are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often,

1.2 About the USIM/SIM Card and Battery
Always turn off your device before installing/replacing the battery and
USIM/SIM card. Follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide to install
a 3G USIM (Universal Subscriber Identity Module) or a SIM (Subscriber
Identity Module) card provided by your local network service provider and
to install the battery.
The USIM/SIM card contains your phone number, service details, and
phonebook/message memory. Your device supports both 1.8V and 3V
USIM/SIM cards. Some legacy SIM cards will not function with your device.
You should consult with 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
features and/or settings you select and use, items attached to connecting
ports, and your voice, data, and other program usage patterns.

Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles. You
can charge the battery in two ways:
Getting Started 25
•
Charging the device’s battery by using the power adapter.
• Connecting your device to a PC via the provided USB Sync cable.
Warning! • Do not remove the battery from the device while you are charging it
using the AC or car adapter.
• As a safety precaution, the battery stops charging when it overheats.
Your device will use the power from the AC or car adapter to
function.
Low battery
When the low-battery warning appears, do the following:
• Immediately save your current data.
• Connect the power adapter to charge the battery.
• Turn off your device.
1.3 Starting Up
Turn your device on and off
To turn on your device, press and hold the POWER button. When you turn
on your device for the first time, a Quick Start Wizard will guide you through
the calibration process and the setup of regional settings, date and time,
password, Outlook e-mail, and POP3/IMAP4 e-mail accounts. For more
information about touch screen calibration, see “Calibrate the device.”
For information about setting up Outlook e-mail and POP3/IMAP4 e-mail
accounts, see Chapter 7.
To turn off your device, press and hold the POWER button for a few seconds.
A message will then be displayed, prompting you whether or not to turn off
the device completely.
Switching your device to Sleep mode
Quickly pressing the POWER button turns off the display temporarily and
switches your device to Sleep mode. Sleep mode suspends your device to a
low power state while the display is off in order to save battery power.
26 Getting Started
Your device also automatically goes into Sleep mode when you leave the
device idle after a certain amount of time.
When the keyboard is attached to the LCD screen, pressing the POWER
button toggles between turning on and off the subdisplay screen.
To specify the timeout period before your device goes into Sleep mode
1. Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Power > Advanced tab.
2. Under On battery power, make sure the Turn off device if not used
for check box is selected.
3. Select the battery timeout period, then tap OK.
You will still be able to receive messages and calls while your device is in
Sleep mode. Pressing the POWER button again or new incoming calls/
messages will wake up your device.
Calibrate the device
Calibrating the device screen involves tapping the center of a cross with the
stylus as the cross moves around the screen. This process ensures that when
you tap the screen with your stylus, the tapped item is activated.
If your device does not accurately respond to screen taps, follow these steps
to re-calibrate it:
1. Tap Start > Settings > System tab > Screen.
2. On the General tab, tap Align Screen, then follow the on-screen
instructions to complete the calibration.
Manage screen settings
The device’s display has two orientation modes: Landscape and Portrait.
Portrait mode allows you to get a better view or a better operation of
certain programs, while Landscape mode may be optimal for viewing
lengthy files.
