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.

24 Getting Started

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.

Your device also automatically goes into Sleep mode when you leave the device idle after a certain amount of time.

26 Getting Started

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.

• To change the orientation, tap Start > Settings > System tab >

Screen, and select the orientation you want.

• To smooth the edges of screen fonts for many programs, on the

ClearType tab, select the Enable ClearType check box.

• To increase the readability or to see more content on the screen, on

the Text Size tab, adjust the text size by moving the slider.
