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,

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.

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.

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.
Page 26
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

connection with your device in favor of the Internet or network connection.
If this happens, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > USB to PC, then
clear the Enable advanced network functionality check box. This makes
