Important Customer Information

Important Information

This guide provides important information on the use and operation of your phone. Please read all the information carefully prior to using the phone for the best performance and to prevent any damage to or misuse of the phone. Any unapproved changes or modiﬁcations will void your warranty.

Technical Details

The AS740 is an all digital phone that operates on both Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) frequencies: Cellular services at 800 MHz and Personal Communication Services (PCS) at 1.9 GHz.

CDMA technology uses a feature called DSSS (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) that enables the phone to keep communication from being crossed and to use one frequency channel by multiple users in the same speciﬁc area. This results in a 10-fold capacity increase when compared with analog mode. In addition, features such as soft / softer handoff, hard handoff, and dynamic RF power control technologies combine to reduce call interruptions.

The Cellular and PCS CDMA networks consist of MSO (Mobile Switching Ofﬁce), BSC (Base Station Controller), BTS (Base Station Transmission System), and MS (Mobile Station).

* TSB-74: Protocol between an IS- 95A system and ANSI J-STD- 008

Its battery life is twice as long as IS-95. High-speed data transmission is also possible.

The Basics

Getting started with your Android

phone

The ﬁrst time you power on your phone, you’re

prompted to touch the Android logo to begin using your phone.

You will be offered a chance to learn about your phone, you will be prompted to create or to sign into your Google Account, and you will be asked to make some initial decisions about how you

want to use Android and Google features.

Touch to begin.

Your Google account

You must sign into a Google Account to use GmailTM, Google TalkTM, Google Calendar

, and other Google Apps; to download applications

from Android Market

; to back up your settings to Google servers; and

to take advantage of other Google services on your phone.

If you don’t have a Google Account, you will be prompted to create one. If you have an enterprise account through your company or other organization, your IT department may have special instructions on how to sign into that account.

IMPORTANT

Some applications, such as Calendar, work only with the ﬁrst Google Account you

add. If you plan to use more than one Google Account with your phone, be sure to sign into the one you want to use with such applications ﬁrst. When you sign in, your contacts, Gmail messages, Calendar events, and other information from these applications and services on the web are synchronized with your phone. If you don’t sign into a Google Account during setup, you will be prompted to sign in or to create a Google Account the ﬁrst time you start an application that requires one, such as Gmail or Android Market.

s If you want to use the backup feature to restore your settings to this phone from

another phone that was running Android release 2.0 or later, you must sign into your Google Account now, during setup. If you wait until after setup is complete, your settings will not be restored.
