•

The phone should be only connected to products that bear the USB-IF logo or have completed the USB-IF compliance program.

•

Do not use a battery that appears damaged, deformed, or discolored, or the one that has any rust on its casing, overheats, or emits a foul odor.

•

Always keep the battery out of the reach of babies and small children, to avoid swallowing of the battery. Consult the doctor immediately if the battery is swallowed.

•

Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725-2006. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.

•

Replace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725-2006. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.

•

Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service centre for inspection.

•

If the battery leaks:

•

Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with skin or clothing. If already in contact, flush the affected area immediately with clean water and seek medical advice.

•

Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with eyes. If already in contact, DO NOT rub; rinse with clean water immediately and seek medical advice.

•

Take extra precautions to keep a leaking battery away from fire as there is a danger of ignition or explosion.

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: 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.

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.

ROAD SAFETY

Vehicle drivers in motion are not permitted to use telephony services with handheld devices, except in the case of emergency. In some countries, using hands-free devices as an alternative is allowed.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE

Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel frame of a building).

•

Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.

•

Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not contain any metal.

•

Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

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.

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.

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 250 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.

Note To remove the microSD card, press it to eject it from the slot.

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.

Getting Started 19

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.

1.4 Starting Up

After installing and charging the battery, you can now power on and start using your device.

20 Getting Started

Switch to Sleep mode when not in use

Press and immediately release the POWER button to turn off the display temporarily and switch 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 automatically goes into Sleep mode when you leave the device idle after a certain period of time. You will still be able to receive messages and calls while your device is in Sleep mode. Pressing the POWER button again, removing the stylus, or incoming calls/messages will wake up your device.

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 Today screen items, 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 or the stylus.

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

•

If you have TouchFLO 3D enabled, you can swipe your finger vertically on the Home screen 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.

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 the 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.

Getting Started 21

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 clockwise

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

Album• Opera Mobile• Camera•

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.

Word Mobile and Excel Mobile•

Sliding your finger counterclockwise

To find a contact name or number

You can just enter the first letter of the name or number of a contact. Smart Dial will search for contact phone numbers and the first character of a contact name as well as from the character that appears after a space, dash, or underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap number “2” on the phone keypad, which is associated with [a, b, and c] on the Phone keypad, contact names such as the following will be considered matches: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “John-Carter”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”, “Thomas_Clark”, “JaneCampbell”.

If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search further, enter another letter. Using the same example above, if you continue to tap “3” which is associated with [d, e, f], the matching list will be narrowed down to the following names: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”.

message. Tapping an attachment opens the attachment if it has been fully downloaded or marks it for download the next time you send and receive e-mail.

You can set automatic download of file attachments. See “Customize e-mail settings” in this chapter for details.

To reply to or forward a message

1. Open the message and tap Menu > Reply, Menu > Reply All, or Menu > Forward.

2. Enter your response, then tap Send.

Notes • You can receive and view HTML e-mails from any type of e-mail account. The HTML format is retained, without

72 Working With Company E-mails and Meeting Appointments

7.1 Synchronizing with the Exchange Server

To keep up-to-date with your company e-mails and meeting schedules while you’re out of the office, you can connect your device to the Internet through Wi-Fi or a data connection and synchronize with your company’s Exchange Server.

Set up an Exchange Server connection

Before you can synchronize or access information on the Exchange Server, you need to set up an Exchange Server connection on your device. You need to get the following information from your network administrator and enter them on your device:

Exchange Server name (must be Outlook Web Access server name)

•

Domain name

•

User name and password that you use at work

If you have not synchronized your device with your computer, follow these steps to set up an Exchange Server connection.

1. Add a new e-mail account. See “Add an e-mail account” in Chapter 6 for instructions.

2. Enter the E-mail address and Password for the e-mail account and select the Save password option.

Tap Next.

3. Clear the Try to get e-mail settings automatically from the Internet option and tap Next.

4. In Your e-mail provider, select Exchange server and tap Next.

5. Tap Next again.

6. Select the Attempt to detect Exchange Server Settings automatically option and tap Next.

7. Enter the Domain name and tap Next.

8. In Server address, enter the Exchange Server address and tap Next.

9. Select the items that you want to sync with the Exchange Server.

Tips • To change synchronization settings of an information item, for example, E-mail, select the item, then

tap Settings.

• To change the rules for resolving synchronization conflicts, tap Menu > Advanced.

10. Tap Finish.

Notes • If you synchronized e-mails with your computer before, open ActiveSync on your device, then tap Menu >

Add Server Source to set up an Exchange Server connection. When prompted to select information types for synchronization, you must first clear the E-mail check box under the Windows PC item before you can select E-mail under Exchange Server.

• To change Exchange Server settings, open ActiveSync on your device, then tap Menu > Configure Server.

Start synchronization

Before you start synchronizing with the Exchange Server, make sure your device has been set up with a WiFi or data connection to the Internet so that you can synchronize over the air. For more information about connections, see Chapter 8.

After you finish setting up an Exchange Server connection, your device automatically starts synchronization.

To manually start synchronization, you can do one of the following:

•

On the TouchFLO 3D Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then touch Sync Data; or

•

Tap Start > Programs > ActiveSync and then tap Sync.

Note If you connect your device to your office computer via a USB or Bluetooth connection, you can use this connection

to the computer to “pass through” to the network and download Outlook e-mails and other information to your device.

Working With Company E-mails and Meeting Appointments 73

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, slide to the Settings tab on the TouchFLO 3D Home screen and then

touch Communications.

2. On the Comm Manager screen, touch Microsoft Direct Push.

To turn on Direct Push in ActiveSync

1. Tap Start > Programs > ActiveSync and then tap Menu > Schedule.

2. Select As items arrive in the Peak times and Off-peak times boxes.

Note When Direct Push is off, you need to manually retrieve your e-mails.

Scheduled synchronization

If you do not want to use Direct Push, you can set a regular schedule for synchronizing Outlook e-mail and information.

1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Schedule.

2. Select a shorter time interval in the Peak times box for you to be able to receive e-mails more

frequently. (Peak times usually refer to your working hours when e-mail volume is high).

3. Select a longer interval in the Off-peak times box.

Tip To set the days and hours that make up your peak and off-peak times, tap the peak times link at the bottom of the

screen.

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. On the TouchFLO 3D Home screen, slide to the Email tab, select your Outlook account, and then tap

Inbox.

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 Get the rest of this message.

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

74 Working With Company E-mails and Meeting Appointments

Notes • For information about changing e-mail sync options such as setting the download size for e-mail, see "Customize

e-mail settings" in Chapter 6.

• When you receive an e-mail that contains a link to a document such as a PDF or Microsoft Office document located on SharePoint or an internal file server, you can tap the link to view the document on your device.

4. Choose the date range of messages to search from.

5. In the Look in list, specify whether to search in the Inbox, Sent Items, or All Folders.

6. Tap Search.

Tip To clear the search results and return to the message list, tap Menu > Clear Results.

Flag your messages

Flags serve as a reminder for you to follow-up on important issues or requests contained in e-mail messages. Flagging messages, which has been a useful feature on desktop Outlook E-mail, can also be done in Outlook Mobile on your device. You can flag received e-mail messages on your device.

Requirement Flags are enabled only if e-mails are synchronized with Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or higher.

Flags are disabled or hidden if e-mails are synchronized with earlier versions of Microsoft Exchange Server.

98 Navigating on the Road

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.
