CAUTION: Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your device and working environment from potential damage.

SAFETY: General

• Do not attempt to service the device yourself unless you are a trained service technician. Always follow installation instructions closely.

• If you use an extension power cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of the products plugged in to the extension power cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.

• Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your device. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.

• Keep your device away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your device; do not place your device in a closed-in wall unit or on a bed, sofa, or rug.

• Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the floor, when you use it to run the device or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter inside a carrying case.

• The AC adapter may become hot during normal operation of your device. Use care when handling the adapter during or immediately after operation.

• Do not use your device in a wet environment, for example, near a bath tub, sink, or swimming pool or in a wet basement.

• If your device includes an integrated or optional (PC Card) modem, disconnect the modem cable if an electrical storm is approaching to avoid the remote risk of electric shock from lightning via the telephone line.

• To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical storm. Do not use your device during an electrical storm unless all cables have been disconnected and the device is operating on battery power.

• If your device includes a modem, the cable used with the modem should be manufactured with a minimum wire size of 26 American wire gauge (AWG) and an FCC-compliant RJ-11 modular plug.

• PC Cards may become very warm during normal operation. Use care when removing PC Cards after their continuous operation.

• Before you clean your device, disconnect the device from the electrical outlet. Clean your device with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, which may contain flammable substances.

CAUTION: Safety Instructions 11

FILE LOCATION: N:\systems\DiMaggio\OM\Paper\EN\N6966fi0.fm

SAFETY: Power

• Use only the Dell-provided AC adapter approved for use with this device. Use of another AC adapter may cause a fire or explosion.

• Before you connect the device to an electrical outlet, check the AC adapter voltage rating to ensure that the required voltage and frequency match the available power source.

• To remove the device from all power sources, turn the device off, disconnect the AC adapter from the electrical outlet, and remove the battery installed in the battery bay.

• To help prevent electric shock, plug the AC adapter and device power cables into properly grounded power sources. These power cables may be equipped with 3-prong plugs to provide an earth grounding connection. Do not use adapter plugs or remove the grounding prong from the power cable plug. If you use a power extension cable,

www.dell.com | support.dell.com

use the appropriate type, 2-prong or 3-prong, to mate with the AC adapter power cable.

• Be sure that nothing rests on your AC adapter’s power cable and that the cable is not located where it can be tripped over or stepped on.

• If you are using a multiple-outlet power strip, use caution when plugging the AC adapter’s power cable into the power strip. Some power strips may allow you to insert the plug incorrectly. Incorrect insertion of the power plug could result in permanent damage to your device, as well as risk of electric shock and/or fire. Ensure that the ground prong of the power plug is inserted into the mating ground contact of the power strip.

SAFETY: Battery

• Use only Dell™ battery modules that are approved for use with this device. Use of other types may increase the risk of fire or explosion.

• Do not carry a battery pack in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects (such as car keys or paper clips) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage to the battery pack or cause fire or burns.

• The battery poses a burn hazard if you handle it improperly. Do not disassemble it. Handle a damaged or leaking battery pack with extreme care. If the battery is damaged, electrolyte may leak from the cells and may cause personal injury.

• Keep the battery away from children.

• Do not store or leave your device or battery pack near a heat source such as a radiator, fireplace, stove, electric heater, or other heat-generating appliance or otherwise expose it to temperatures in excess of 60ºC (140ºF). When heated to excessive temperatures, battery cells could explode or vent, posing a risk of fire.

DELL CONFIDENTIAL – PRELIMINARY 7/29/04 - FOR PROOF ONLY

12 CAUTION: Safety Instructions

FILE LOCATION: N:\systems\DiMaggio\OM\Paper\EN\N6966fi0.fm

• Do not dispose of your device’s battery in a fire or with normal household waste. Battery cells may explode. Discard a used battery according to the manufacturer’s instructions or contact your local waste disposal agency for disposal instructions. Dispose of a spent or damaged battery promptly.

SAFETY: Air Travel

• Certain Federal Aviation Administration regulations and/or airline-specific restrictions may apply to the operation of your Dell device while you are on board an aircraft. For example, such regulations/restrictions may prohibit the use of any personal electronic device (PED) that has the capacity for intentional transmission of radio frequency or other electromagnetic signals while on an aircraft.

– In order to best comply with all such restrictions, if your Dell portable device is

equipped with Dell TrueMobile™ or some other wireless communication device, please disable this device before you board the aircraft and follow all instructions provided by airline personnel with regard to such device.

– Additionally, the use of any PED, such as a portable device, may be prohibited in

aircraft during certain critical phases of flight, for example, takeoff and landing. Some airlines may further define the critical flight phase as any time the aircraft is below 3050 m (10,000 ft). Please follow the airline’s specific instructions as to when the use of a PED is allowed.

SAFETY: Electromagnetic Compatibility Instructions

Use shielded signal cables to ensure that you maintain the appropriate electromagnetic compatibility classification for the intended environment. For parallel printers, a cable is available from Dell. If you prefer, you can order a cable from Dell at its worldwide website at www.dell.com.

Static electricity can harm electronic components inside your device. To prevent static damage, discharge static electricity from your body before you touch any of your device’s electronic components, such as a memory module. You can do so by touching an unpainted metal surface.

WARNING:

accessories sold with this product, will expose you to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm.

You can synchronize the information on your computer with the information on your device with ActiveSync. Synchronization compares the data on your device with the data on your computer and updates both with the most recent information. For example:

• Keep Microsoft Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device with Microsoft Outlook data on your computer.

• Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your device and your computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.

NOTE: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of

information. You can change ActiveSync options to synchronize specific types of information.

With ActiveSync, you can also:

• Back up and restore your device data.

• Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and your computer.

• Select a synchronization mode to control when synchronization occurs. For example, you can synchronize continuously or only when you select the synchronize command.

• Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.

To synchronize your data, you need both the Microsoft Windows PC versions of ActiveSync. You must install the Windows version of ActiveSync on your computer using the version is already installed on your device.

NOTE: The device must be powered on for the synchronization process to

Connecting Directly to an E-Mail Server

In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your computer, you can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a modem or network card connected to your device. You need to set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail server. For more information, see "Getting Connected" on page 87.

When you connect to the e-mail server:

• New messages are downloaded to the device

• Messages in the device

• Messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the device

Inbox

folder.

Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server rather than to your computer. When you delete a message on your device, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect depending on the settings you selected in ActiveSync.

When you are working online, you read and respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap which saves space on your device.

After you have downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Messaging downloads the messages you have marked for retrieval and sends the messages you have composed.

Folder Behavior With a Direct Connection to an E-Mail Server

The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you use ActiveSync, POP3, or IMAP4.

•

If you use ActiveSync

, e-mail messages in the

Inbox

folder in Outlook are automatically synchronized with your device. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the messages you move are then mirrored on the server. For example, if you move messages from the to a folder named synchronization, the server creates a copy of the

66 Scheduling and Communicating

folder

FILE LOCATION: N:\systems\DiMaggio\OM\Paper\EN\N6966c60.fm

•

If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created

, the link is broken between the messages on the device and their copies on the e-mail server. The next time you connect, the e-mail server detects that the messages are missing from the device Inbox and deletes them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message. However, you no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created from anywhere except the device.

•

If you use IMAP4

, the folders you create and the e-mail messages you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you any time you connect to your e-mail server, whether it is from your device or computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to the server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when connected.

Notifications

You can set your device to remind you when you have something to do. For example, if you have set up an appointment in Calendar, a task with a due date in Tasks, or an alarm in Clock, you are notified in one of the following ways:

• A message box appears on the screen.

• A sound, which you can specify, is played.

• A light flashes on your device.
