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: Avoid potential hearing loss

Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of preventable hearing loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth® or other wireless devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the ear), hypersensitivity to sound and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss and other potential hearing problems varies.

The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on the nature of the sound, the device, the device settings and the headphones. You should follow some commonsense recommendations when using any portable audio device:

Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can hear adequately.

•

When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near you or if

•

the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.

Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen to your portable

•

device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background environmental noise.

Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required before your hearing

•

could be affected.

Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock concerts, that might

•

cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.

Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in your ears, hear

•

muffled speech or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

1.5 Navigating on 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 Today screen and the whole interface of your device is by touch. Basically, the following are the types of actions, called finger gestures, you would use when interacting with your device:

Touch or tap

When selecting items on the screen, such as the 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.

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.

Scrolling

When browsing the contacts list, web pages, and documents, 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 19

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.

Advancing playback

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

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.

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 Today 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 clockwise

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.

7.2 Working With Company E-mails

Your device gives you instant access to your company e-mails and lets you manage your messages easier. Direct Push, Fetch Mail, Remote e-mail search, and e-mail flags are just some of the tools you can use to manage your e-mails.

Note Some messaging features depend on the Microsoft Exchange Server version used in your company. Check with

your network administrator for the availability of these features.

Automatic synchronization through Direct Push

Direct Push technology (push e-mail feature) enables you to receive new e-mails on your device as soon as they

arrive in your Inbox on the Exchange Server. Items such as contacts, calendar and tasks are also immediately updated onto your device when these items have been changed or new entries have been added on the Exchange Server. To make Direct Push work, you need to have a Wi-Fi or data connection on your device.

You need to perform a full synchronization between your device and the Exchange Server first before Direct Push can be enabled.

Requirement The Direct Push feature works for your device only if your company is using Microsoft Exchange

Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) with Exchange ActiveSync or higher version.

You can turn on Direct Push in the Comm Manager or ActiveSync.

To turn on Direct Push in Comm Manager

1. To open the Comm Manager, tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Comm Manager.

2. On the Comm Manager screen, touch

Off-peak times box.

Instant download through Fetch Mail

The Fetch Mail feature downloads an entire e-mail immediately without the need for you to perform a full Send/Receive action. This limits the download to just the e-mail message that you want and helps save data cost.

Requirement Fetch Mail works for your device only if your company is using Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or

higher.

1. Tap Start > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.

2. Open an e-mail message.

3. By default, only the first few words of the message is shown. To download the whole e-mail, finger-

scroll to the end of the message, then tap

4. Wait for the remainder of the message body to download.

On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetooth-enabled devices, but not vice versa.

•

Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices can detect your device.

•

Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive information using Bluetooth.

•

Notes • By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, then turn off your device, Bluetooth also turns off. When you

turn on your device again, Bluetooth automatically turns on.

• Turn off Bluetooth when not in use to conserve battery power, or in places where using a wireless device is prohibited, such as on board an aircraft and in hospitals.

Supported Profiles

Your device supports the following Bluetooth profiles:

GAP (generic access profile) AVRCP (audio/video remote control profile)

SPP (serial port profile) HID (human interface device profile)

OPP (object push profile) Service discovery application profile

GOEP (generic object exchange profile) FTP (file transfer profile)

ActiveSync-Over-Bluetooth (legacy application via SPP) BPP (basic printing profile)

10.1 Guidelines and Preparation for Using GPS

If you install a GPS software on your device, please follow these guidelines before and when using your device as a GPS device.

Do not operate the GPS system while driving. The plotted GPS route is only for driving reference. It

•

should not interfere with actual driving behavior.

When using the device inside a vehicle, use the car holder to mount the device securely in place. Avoid

•

placing the device in the areas shown in the following diagram:

1 Do not place where it will block the driver’s vision.

2 Do not place where air bags could deploy.

3 Do not place anywhere in the vehicle without securing the device in the holder.

•

Please use the GPS system cautiously. Users shall be liable for any damages resulting from negligent operation of the system.

The GPS signal cannot pass through solid non-transparent objects. Signal reception may be affected by

•

obstructions such as high-rise buildings, tunnels, bridges, forests, weather (rainy or cloudy days), etc. If the vehicle’s visor contains metal, it will be difficult for the GPS signal to pass through.

Wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or radar-detecting devices) may interfere

•

with the satellite signal, resulting in unstable signal reception.

The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated by the US Defense Department. The

•

Department is responsible for the accuracy and maintenance of the system. Any changes that the Department makes may affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.

Do not leave your device in a vehicle or expose the device to direct sunlight to avoid overheating the

•

battery, which could pose damage to the device or risk to the vehicle.
