The following instructions tell you how to install the ActiveSyncTM software.

Important installation notes

• Before installing ActiveSyncTM, make sure that the cradle is not yet connected to your computer. Connect the cradle only after you have finished installing ActiveSyncTM.

• If you don’t have Microsoft® Outlook® 98 installed, please install Microsoft® Outlook® 2000 now.

• It is recommended that users choosing to install Outlook 2000 from the ET180 Pocket PC Phone Installation CD do so before installing ActiveSyncTM.

• Do not copy the ActiveSyncTM files to your computer’s hard disk. You must use the ET180 Pocket PC Phone Installation CD to place the files in their proper locations and to decompress the files.

To install the Microsoft® ActiveSyncTM software

1 Exit any open programs, including those th at r un at sta rt up , a nd di sa ble any virus-

Installing the battery pack

Your ET180 uses a high-density removable and rechargeable 1480 mAH Lithium Ion polymer battery pack. Refer to the succeeding section for instructions on how to install the battery pack to your device.

WARNING! There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery pack is handled improperly. DO NOT disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose the battery pack in fire or water. DO NOT attempt to open or service the battery pack. Dispose of used batteries according to local recycling guidelines in your area.

A backup battery cell is embedded into your device to prevent data loss in instances when the removable battery pack is removed or completely discharged. This backup battery cell will support the system for a maximum of 30 minutes only.

NOTE: To enable the internal battery cell to provide backup power supply, charge your device, without the main battery pack, for at least four (4) hours for a minimum capacity of 30 minutes of backup power supply. To achieve it's full capacity of ____ backup power supply, charge it in the same way for at least 14 hours.

For information on conserving power consumption to make your battery pack last longer, refer to page 109.

To install the battery pack

1 Align the battery marker on the battery pack with the one located on the device. 2 Slide in the battery pack into the battery bay until it clicks into place.

To uninstall the battery pack

1 If the device is on, press the power button to turn it off.

Wait for five (5) seconds to allow the device to completely enter sleep mode.

2 Press down the battery release switch, then 3 Slide out the battery pack from its bay.

Connecting the USB cradle

The cradle that comes with your device enables you to charge your device, as well as synchronise the information on your device with those in your computer using ActiveSyncTM technology .

The dual-pocket design also allows simu l t aneous charging of the device and a n opt ional spare battery pack if you have purchased one.

To connect the cradle

1 Connect the AC adapter cord to the power socket at the back of the cradle. 2 Plug the AC adapter into any AC current outlet.

Charging your ET180

For initial use, you need to charge your device for about 4 hours. After that, you can charge it for a few minutes each day to recharge the battery to full capacity. Normally, you can use your device for ____ straight hours of operation before you need to recharge the battery.
