end of the AC adapter into a wall
outlet (
).
3. The charge indicator glows in
red when charging is in progress.
Do not disconnect your A700
from AC power until the battery
is fully charged, as indicated by
the red indicator turning into
green. This will take a couple of
hours.
Whenever possible, keep your A700 connected to the AC adapter and a power
source. Doing so keeps the battery charged.
NOTE: Your A700 can also be charged when it is connected to a desktop computer via the
USB cable.
CAUTION: For optimal performance of the lithium battery, take note of the following:
The environment temperature for charging should be 0~40°C.
When a battery is fully discharged due to a long period of usage or idleness, connect
A700 to AC power for charging, and wait for at least 5 minutes before turning it on.
Do not charge the battery where the temperature is high (e.g. in direct sunlight).
There is no need to fully discharge the battery before charging. You can charge the
battery before it is discharged.
If you will not use the product for a long period of time, be sure to fully charge the battery
at least once every two weeks. Over discharge of the battery can affect the charging
performance.

1.5 Installing Microsoft ActiveSync
You can use Microsoft ActiveSync technology to synchronize information on
your desktop computer and/or a Microsoft Exchange Server with the
information on your A700. ActiveSync compares the information on your A700
with the information on the desktop computer and/or the server and updates all
locations, keeping you up-to-date with the most recent information.
ActiveSync is already installed on your A700. You need to install ActiveSync
on your desktop computer.
CAUTION:
Before installation, make sure that you have Microsoft Outlook installed on your desktop
computer.
Do not connect your A700 to your desktop computer before ActiveSync is installed.
In some specific cases, A700 may experience connection problems when it is
connected to a Windows computer running ActiveSync 4.0. The problems may be
caused by the interoperability with desktop firewall applications, applications that
manage network traffic, or LAN configuration tools. To resolve the problems, please
visit Microsoft web site at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync, or
Follow the procedure below:
1. Turn on your desktop computer.

NOTE: If you have set a device password, you will need to enter this password on the
desktop computer for the ActiveSync connection. See “Locking the Device” in section 2.9
for information.
1-12 Getting Started
1.6 Using Your A700 in a Vehicle
Using the Car Holder
Your car holder consists of a bracket and an arm stand. Follow this procedure to
mount your A700 in a car:
1. Assemble the bracket and the arm
stand.
2. Clean the windshield where you will
apply the suction cup.
3. Attach the suction cup to the
windshield and push in the locking tab
to secure the suction cup.
4. Carefully fit your A700 into the
bracket.
5. Turn the rotate wheel at the top of the
arm stand clockwise to loosen it.
Adjust A700 to the best viewing
angle, and then turn the rotate wheel
counterclockwise to fasten it.
CAUTION:
When placing the car holder, make sure that the device does not obstruct the driver’s
view, or interfere with the operation of vehicle airbags and safety devices.
After the suction cup is secured to the windshield, never try to pull or wriggle the arm.
Always adjust A700 and the arm of the car holder for the best viewing angle BEFORE
driving. Avoid adjusting A700 with one hand while driving.
When using the car holder, keep the car temperature in a normal range. If the
temperature gets too low, the car holder’s suction cup can harden and affect its suction.
Loosen the locking tab first before removing the car holder.
NOTE: If the car’s windshield is tinted with a reflective coating, an external antenna
(optional) may be needed to route the antenna to the top of the car through a window.
Getting Started 1-13
Connecting the Car Charger
CAUTION: To protect your device against sudden surges in current, connect the car
charger only after the car engine has been started.
The car charger supplies power to
your A700. Connect one end of
the car charger to the power
connector of your A700 and the
other end to the cigarette lighter
in the car.
1-14 Getting Started
1.7 Expanding Your A700
Using a SD/MMC Card
Your A700 has a SD/MMC slot where you can insert an optional SD or MMC
storage card, or SD IO wireless network card. With the removable memory, you
can store or backup your data and exchange data with other devices.
To use a SD/MMC card, insert it into the slot, with the connector pointing to the
slot and its label facing the front of your A700. Follow the instructions supplied
with the card for more information.
To remove a card, first make sure that no application is accessing the card, then
slightly push the top edge of the card to release it and pull it out of the slot.
NOTE:
A storage card is also called a memory card.
Make sure that no foreign objects enter the slot.
Keep a SD or MMC card in a well-protected box to avoid dust and humidity when you
are not using it.
