Safety Precautions
General Guidelines for Your Smartphone
Avoid placing the Smartphone in a location subject to extreme temperatures, high
humidity, or heavy dust.
The Smartphone and its accessories are not waterproof. Please keep them in a dry place.
Do not knock, shake, or toss the Smartphone. Doing so may cause leakage, overheating,
or fire.
Do not disassemble the Smartphone or its accessories without authorized permission.
Do not place the Smartphone near the edge of a surface, especially when the vibration
function of the Smartphone is turned on. The Smartphone may move and drop due to the
vibration.
Keep the Smartphone in place when driving. Do not place it on the passenger seat or
where it can break loose in a collision or sudden stop.
Do not delete files in the Windows folder of the Smartphone. Doing so may cause
malfunction.
Guidelines for Using the Phone Feature
Use the Smartphone in a normal position. Do not cover the antenna unnecessarily; doing
so may affect the communication quality and consume more power.
Use a phone headset or pull over your car first if using the Smartphone when driving.
Your Smartphone produces the electromagnetic wave with the specific absorption rate
(SAR) of 1.02W/kg, lower than the standard value of 1.6W/kg. However, to reduce the
effects of the electromagnetic wave on the human body, please use the phone feature with
care. For example, make short calls as possible as you can.
Your Smartphone is a low-power RF (radio frequency) device. It receives and sends out
RF signals when the phone feature is turned on. Therefore, be careful of the following:
Most RF devices are shielded from RF signals. However, your Smartphone may still
interfere with or get interfered by nearby devices, such as a TV set, radio, or
computer.
Turn off the phone feature where posted notices are set up to avoid interference or
danger.
Turn off the phone feature near hospitals or medical equipment (such as pacemakers
or hearing aids) to avoid interference.
Turn off the phone feature near gas stations, fuel depots, chemical factories, or
blasting areas.
Turn off the phone feature on an aircraft to avoid interference with the flight
instruments for possible danger.
i
Guidelines for Using the AC Adapter
Use only the AC adapter (PHIHONG, PSC05R-050) supplied with your Smartphone. Use
of another type of AC adapter will result in malfunction and/or danger.
This product is intended to be supplied by a LISTED Power Unit marked with “LPS”,
“Limited Power Source” and output rated + 5 V dc / 1 A.
Do not use the adapter in a high moisture environment. Never touch the adapter when
your hands or feet are wet.
Allow adequate ventilation around the adapter. Avoid locations with restricted airflow.
Connect the adapter to a proper power source. The voltage and grounding requirements
are found on the product case and/or packaging.
Do not use the adapter if the cord becomes damaged.
Do not attempt to service the unit. There are no serviceable parts inside. Replace the unit if
it is damaged or exposed to excess moisture.
Guidelines for Using the Battery
CAUTION: Risk of explosion if battery is replaced by an incorrect type.
Dispose of used batteries according to the instructions.
Replace only with the same or equivalent type recommended by the manufacturer.
Do not mutilate, puncture, or dispose of battery in fire. The battery can burst or explode,
releasing hazardous chemicals.
Do not short-circuit the battery terminals.
Do not immerse, throw the battery in water or seawater.
Do not use, charge and leave the battery at high temperature.
The temperature during charging/discharging periods must be kept within 0℃ (32℉) to
40℃ (104 ℉). Otherwise the battery might be damaged.
Must be recycled or disposed of properly.
Use the battery only in the specified equipment.
Use a specified charger approved by the manufacturer.
Use only a specified battery (eMore, MIFES-ISTO) in the Smartphone.
Use only a specified USB cradle approved by the manufacturer.

more. Whenever you need to communicate, capture images, search for information, send
messages or enjoy yourself, the Smartphone can help you get what you want any time any
place.
With the Windows Mobile™ for Smartphone operating system, you can always use
Microsoft® ActiveSync® to synchronize your personal Microsoft Outlook data between the
Smartphone and desktop computer, including Contacts, Calendar, Inbox, and Tasks.

1.5 Installing ActiveSync
You can use Microsoft® ActiveSync® technology to synchronize the information on your
Smartphone with information on your desktop computer and optionally, a server running
Microsoft® Exchange® Server with Exchange ActiveSync. When you do this, ActiveSync
compares the information on the Smartphone with the information on the desktop computer
and Exchange Server, and updates all locations, keeping you up to date with the most recent
information. You can even synchronize on a customizable schedule, or as items arrive.
_ NOTE`
Before the installation, make sure that you have Microsoft Outlook installed on your desktop
computer. If you do not have Outlook or your version of Outlook is earlier than the version
provided on the Companion CD, install Outlook from the Companion CD.
If you have an older version of ActiveSync installed on your desktop computer, the installation
wizard will inform you. When you choose to continue, the new ActiveSync will replace the
existing ActiveSync on your computer.
Do not connect your Smartphone to your desktop computer before ActiveSync is installed.
During the New Partnership setup, select “Synchronize with this desktop computer.” Do not
select “Synchronize with Microsoft Exchange Server and/or this desktop computer” unless you
are sure that your company is running Microsoft Exchange Server and Exchange ActiveSync.
Contact your network administrator or ISP for detailed information.
Before you can synchronize information with a desktop computer, you must first install
ActiveSync on your desktop computer and create a partnership between your Smartphone and
your desktop computer. Follow the procedure below:
1. Turn on your desktop computer.
2. Insert the Companion CD into the CD-ROM drive of your desktop computer.
3. Click the arrow on the first screen to enter the main screen and click Start Here.
4. In the following screen, click Install ActiveSync on the left column.
5. In the following screen, click Install to start the installation.
6. If you use Windows XP, select Open when the “File Download” window appears on the
screen; if you use Windows 2000/Me/98, select Run this program from its current
location and click OK.
7. Follow the on-screen instructions to install ActiveSync.
10
8. After ActiveSync is installed, you will be prompted to connect your Smartphone to your
desktop computer. You can connect with the USB cradle or without it.
With the USB Cradle
Slide your Smartphone into the cradle.
Connect the appropriate end of the
ActiveSync cable to the USB cradle.
Connect the other end to a USB port
on your desktop computer.
Without the USB Cradle
Connect the appropriate end of the
ActiveSync cable to the bottom of the
Smartphone.
Connect the other end to a USB port on
your desktop computer.
If you want to connect the AC adapter,
connect it to the ActiveSync cable.
9. The “Add New Hardware Wizard” should automatically install the USB driver. (If you
need to specify the location of the driver, click Browse and select the CD-ROM drive
containing the Companion CD.)
10. Follow the on-screen instructions to establish a partnership and synchronize your
Smartphone with your desktop computer.
