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

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.

4 Managing Your A700

This chapter tells you how to effectively manage power, memory, settings, data and programs of your A700.

4.1 Managing Power

You must maintain a continuous power supply to your A700 to retain your data, including any information, programs or settings that you added to your A700.

A fully charged battery should provide power for up to 8 hours of use. The operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using the A700. Some functions, such as using multimedia or phone features and operating a SD/MMC card, may consume the battery power considerably.

Low Battery Signals and Actions

CAUTION:

 When the battery runs out of power completely, A700 turns off automatically. Charge

the battery or replace the old battery immediately. Replacing the battery needs to be finished in 5 minutes to make sure of the corrent system time.

 When you charge the battery upon a warning of low power, you should charge for at

least 30 minutes before unplugging the AC adapter. A700 may not be able to turn on during the first few minutes of the charging until the battery power reaches the
