SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR DIRECT SUNLIGHT

Keep this product away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures. Do not leave the product or its battery inside a vehicle or in places where the temperature may exceed 60°C (140°F), such as on a car dashboard, window sill, or behind a glass that is exposed to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended periods of time. 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 AIRCRAFTS

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 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.

1.2 About the SIM Card and Battery

Always turn off your device before installing/replacing the battery and SIM card. Follow the instructions in the Quick Start Guide to install a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card provided by your local network service provider and to install the battery.

The SIM card contains your phone number, service details, and phonebook/ message memory. Your device supports both 1.8V and 3V 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.

Battery life estimates (approximations):

• Standby time: Up to 150 - 200 hours for GSM.

• Talk time: Up to 3.5 - 5 hours for GSM.

• Media playback time: Up to 8 hours for WMV;

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 regulation.

Up to

For more information about touch screen calibration, see “Calibrate the device”.

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.

Switch 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.

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.

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.

24 Getting Started

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: Portrait and Landscape. 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.
