AC Adapter
● Never use a voltage that is different from that for which the AC adapter is
rated. Also, do not plug the unit into a power outlet that is shared by other
devices. Doing so creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.
● Never modify the power cord or excessively bend, twist, or pull it. Doing so
creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.
● Do not allow the power cord to become damaged. Do not place heavy objects
on the power cord or expose it to heat. A damaged power cord creates the
danger of fire and electrical shock.
● Never touch the AC adapter while your hands are wet. Doing so creates the
danger of electrical shock.
● Should the power cord ever become seriously damaged (internal wiring
exposed or shorted), contact your original dealer or an authorized IRIS
service provider to request for servicing. Continued use of a seriously
damaged power cord creates the danger of fire and electrical shock.
● Use only the AC adapter specified for this unit. Use of another type of AC
adapter can damage the battery pack and create the danger of fire and
personal injury.
Warning
● Never charge the battery pack near a stove, under direct sunlight, in an
automobile parked in the sun, or any other area subject to high temperatures.
High temperature can cause the battery pack's safety mechanism to operate
making it impossible to achieve a full charge. Heat can also cause an
abnormal chemical reaction, which creates the danger of fire and explosion.
● Never pierce the battery pack with nails, hit it with a hammer, step on it, or
throw it. Doing so can cause internal shorting, which creates the danger of
fire and explosion.
● Never use a battery pack whose exterior is extremely damaged or deformed.
Use of such a battery pack creates the danger of fire, overheating, and
explosion.
● Never use the battery pack with any device other than this product. Doing
so will cause abnormal current that damages the battery pack and creates
the danger of fire.
● Never expose the battery pack to direct flame, do not throw it into fire, fresh
water, or seawater. Doing so can damage the built in safety and protection
mechanisms, and cause battery fluid to ignite, creating the danger of fire
and explosion.
● If the battery pack does not achieve full charge after the normal charge
time, stop charging. Continued charging creates the danger of fire,
overheating, and explosion.

can create the danger of fire.
● Be sure to unplug the AC adapter from the wall outlet before attempting to
move the unit to another location.
● Be sure to grasp the AC adapter when unplugging it from a wall outlet.
Pulling on the power cord can damage it, and create the danger of fire and
electrical shock.
● Keep the power cord away from stoves and other sources of heat. Heat can
melt the insulation of the power cord and create the danger of fire and
electrical shock.
Display Screen Precautions
● Never apply strong pressure to the LCD screen or subject it to strong impact.

computer. Double click to launch the setup file located at CD-ROM drive
ActiveSync folder. (E.g:
d:\
ActiveSync x.x.x\MSASYNC.exe).
After installation is completed, the setup wizard tells you to connect your device to your
computer, helps you set up a partnership, and guides you through your first syncronization.
During synchronization, ActiveSync compares the changes you’ve made to the data on
your device and desktop computer and updates both computers with the latest information.
After the first synchronization, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on your
device. You will notice the information you have stored in Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft
Schedule on your desktop computer has been copied to your device and you did not
have to type a word. Disconnect your device from your computer and you are ready to
go!
At any time, you can view the synchronization status by double-clicking the ActiveSync
icon placed on the taskbar during setup or by selecting Microsoft ActiveSync from the
