This may damage the product, overheat the battery, or pose a risk to the vehicle.

PREVENTION OF HEARING LOSS

CAUTION: Permanent hearing loss may occur if earphones or headphones are used at high volume for prolonged periods

of time.

SAFETY IN AIRCRAFT

Due to the possible interference caused by this product to an aircraft’s navigation system and its communications network, using this device’s 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 your phone by switching to Airplane 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, chemical plants, 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, but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling areas, 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.

INTERFERENCE WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONS

This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

HEARING AIDS

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.

NONIONIZING RADIATION

Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.

Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.

6

To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always use your device only in its normal-use position. Contact with the antenna area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.

General Precautions

1.2 Installing the Battery

Always turn off your device before installing or replacing the battery. You also need to remove the back cover before you can install these components.

To remove the back cover

1. Make sure your device is turned off.

2. Hold the device with both hands and the front panel facing

down.

3. Push the back cover up with your thumb until it disengages

from the device and then slide it up to remove.

Battery

Your device comes with a rechargeable Lithium-ion or Lithium-ion polymer battery and is designed to use only manufacturer-specified original batteries and accessories. Battery performance depends on many factors, including 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.

Battery life estimates (approximations):

Standby time: Up to 350 hours

•

Talk time: Up to 210 minutes

•

Note Battery life is subject to network and phone usage.

Warning! To reduce risk of fire or burns:

• Do not attempt to open, disassemble, or service the battery pack.

• Do not crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire or water.

• Do not expose to temperatures above 60oC (140oF).

• Replace only with the battery pack designated for this product.

• Recycle or dispose of used battery as stipulated by local regulations.

To install the battery

1. Align the battery’s exposed copper contacts with the

battery connectors inside the battery compartment.

2. Insert the contact’s side of the battery first and then gently

push the battery into place.

3. Replace the back cover.

1.3 Charging the Battery

New batteries are shipped partially charged. Before you start using your device, it is recommended that you install and charge the battery. Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge cycles.

To charge the battery

1. Connect the USB connector of the AC adapter to the

sync connector on your device.

2. Plug in the AC adapter to an electrical outlet to start

charging the battery.

Note Only the AC adapter and USB sync cable provided with your

device must be used to charge the device.

Charging is indicated by a “breathing” white light around the Navigation Control. As the battery is being charged while the power is on, a charging icon ( ) also appears in the title bar of the Home screen.

After the battery has been fully charged, the Navigation Control LED shows a solid white light and a full battery icon ( ) appears in the title bar of the Home screen.

For more information about the Navigation Control LED, see “LED Alerts” in this chapter.

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.

e-mail account, see Chapter 6.

1.6 Navigating Your Device

There are different ways you can navigate and interact with the interface of your device.

Finger-touch control

A quick and easy way to interact with the home screen and the whole interface of your device is by touch. Basically, the following are the types of actions, called finger gestures, you would do when interacting with your device:

Touch or tap

When selecting items on the screen, such as the Home screen tabs, Start menu, programs and settings icons, and large on-screen buttons, simply touch them with your finger. Apply some pressure with your finger pad when touching an item on the screen.

Tapping means to touch lightly and quickly with your finger pad or fingertip. On screens that display smallersize items, you can more accurately select an item by tapping it with your fingertip.

Swipe

To swipe means to drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen. The following are some instances when you would use swiping:

Flipping on the Home screen

•

Swipe your finger vertically to flip through favorite contacts, messages, music albums, photos, and more. For more information, see “Using the TouchFLO 3D Home Screen” in Chapter 3.

Scrolling

•

When browsing the contacts list, web pages, documents, and certain selection lists on the Home screen (such as the All Programs list), slowly swipe your finger vertically across the screen to scroll. This allows you to scroll by page and to view the content or available selections as you scroll.

The direction of swiping resembles the way you move a printed document as you are reading it. For detailed instructions, see “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3.

Getting Started 21

Slide

Sliding on the touch screen also involves dragging with your finger, but you need to press and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to drag. While dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.

The following are some instances when you would use sliding:

Switching between Home screen tabs

•

Slide your finger left and right to switch between the Home screen tabs. For more information, see “Using the TouchFLO 3D Home screen“ in Chapter 3.

Advancing playback

•

In players that have a progress bar, such as the Home screen’s Music tab and Windows Media® Player Mobile, slide your finger horizontally on their progress bar to advance forward or move backward in the music or video you are playing.

For more information about the Home screen’s Music tab, see “Music” in Chapter 3.

For more information about Windows Media® Player Mobile, see “Using Windows Media® Player Mobile” in Chapter 11.

Flick

Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your finger in light, quicker strokes. This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as when flicking the contacts list. See “Finger scrolling” in Chapter 3 for details.

Finger zooming and panning

In programs such as Album and Opera Mobile, you can use finger gestures when zooming and panning. See Chapter 3, 8 and 11 for details.

Stylus

You can use the stylus to navigate and interact with the touch screen. To use the stylus, pull it out from the stylus compartment at the bottom of the right panel of your device. If the backlight is off, removing the stylus automatically turns the backlight back on.

The stylus is magnetic and sticks to the side when held close to the device. This prevents you from accidentally losing or misplacing the stylus.

Basically, you tap with the stylus to open programs and select items on the screen, and you tap and hold on the screen to open a shortcut menu. You can also use the stylus the same way as what you do with finger gestures, such as swiping, sliding and flicking on the screen.

Navigation Control

On the home screen and in many programs on your device, you can use the Navigation Control for directional control. Press the directional arrows to navigate up, down, left, and right on the screen. When an item has been selected on the screen, press the ENTER button (the center button) to confirm your selection.

The Navigation Control is also touch sensitive and can be used for zooming. Slide your finger clockwise around the Navigation Control to zoom in, counterclockwise to zoom out.

Sliding your finger counterclockwise

22 Getting Started

The following programs allow you to use the Navigation Control for zooming:

Album• Opera Mobile• Camera• Word Mobile and Excel Mobile•

Tip If you purchase and install GPS navigation software on your device, you can also use the Navigation Control for

zooming in the GPS software.

On the Home screen’s Music tab, you can advance forward in the music you are playing by sliding clockwise around the Navigation Control. To move backward in the music, slide counterclockwise. See “Music” in Chapter 3 for details.

1.7 Home Screen

The default home screen of the device is the TouchFLO™ 3D Home screen which allows finger-touch access to the most important functions such as contacts, text messages, e-mail, Internet, and more.
