Package contents
Installing the battery pack
Your MC35 uses a high-density removable and rechargeable 1370 mAh lithium polymer/
standard life battery. See “Battery problem” on page 213 for more information on how to
conserve power consumption to make your battery last longer.
NOTE: An optional 2740 mAh extended life battery is available.
WARNING! There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery is handled improperly. DO
NOT disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose the battery in fire
or water. DO NOT attempt to open or service the battery. Dispose of used batteries
according to local recycling guidelines in your area.

1 First Things First
Preparing to use your MC35
To install the battery pack:
Align the tabs on the battery pack with the grooves on the rear side of the device, and
then insert the battery pack in place. The battery pack locks to the chassis with an
audible click.
To uninstall the battery pack:
1 If the device is on, press the Power button to turn off the device.
Wait for five seconds to allow the device to completely power off.
2Slide the battery latch toward the unlock icon to release the battery pack from
the chassis (1).
3Completely detach the battery pack from the device (2).
Charging the MC35
Initial charging of a standard life battery takes about four hours. The extended life battery
type requires at least eight hours. After the initial charging, charge your device everyday
to restore the battery to full capacity. Charge your device using the AC adapter cable, see
instructions below.
While waiting for the initial charging to complete, install Microsoft® ActiveSync® 4.2 or
higher on your computer to prepare for the initial syn chronization procedure. Refer to the
next section for instructions.
To charge your device:

1 First Things First
Preparing to use your MC35
2Plug the AC adapter cable into the mini USB connector on bottom of the device.
3Connect the AC adapter cable into an electrical outlet.
The LED indicator on the right side of the touch screen lights up orange to signify
that AC connection is made.
If the battery level becomes low in the course of normal use, a status icon appears
on the device screen indicating low or depleted battery status (see "Status icons" on
page 18 for more information). In both cases, perform an ActiveSync operation to
back up your data, and then recharge your device as soon as possible.
If the battery level reaches low status, the device enters sleep mode; if the battery
level reaches very low status, the device enters deep sleep mode. In this case, you
have about 72 hours to recharge your device after which you risk losing all data on
your device’s internal memory.
Installing Microsoft ActiveSync
ActiveSync is already installed on your MC35; you only need to install it on your
computer.

between your computer and/or server and your MC35.
Creating an ActiveSync partnership
After installing ActiveSync on your computer and completing the device setup, you can
now set up a partnership between your MC35 (first time connecti on only) and your
computer and/or a server with the help of the New Partnership setup wizard. This wizard
will help you:
•Set up a partnership so you can synchronize information between your
device and your computer
•Customize your synchronization settings
4
1 First Things First
Preparing to use your MC35
To create an ActiveSync partnership:
1 Connect the USB sync cable into the connector on the bottom of your device, then
plug the USB sync cable into a USB port on your computer.
The Synchronization Setup Wizard automatically starts on your computer screen.
NOTE: If the wizard does not automatically appear, launch ActiveSync on your
computer by clicking on its icon from Start > Programs.
2Follow the on-screen instructions.
To prevent synchronization problems, select the “Synchronize directly with a server
running Microsoft Exchange Server...” option only if you are certain that your
company is running Microsoft Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync and you
know the server address and logon credentials. For more information, contact your
corporate network administrator or service provider.
By default, ActiveSync only synchronize information for Contacts, Calendar,
Messaging (Outlook E-Mail), Tasks, and Favorites (for Internet Explorer Mobile). If
you decide to synchronize other files, for example, Word documents, ActiveSync
need to convert these files. Converted files may not contain all information found in
original file.

Preparing to use your MC35
3Click Finish to close the wizard and start the initial synchronization.
During the synchronization process, the ActiveSync window appears on your
computer, while the Data connectivity icon appears on your device’s navigation
bar.
After the initial synchronization, the information types you’ve selected for
synchronization are copied to your device. Disconnect your device from your
computer and you're ready to go!
The next time you connect your device, your computer recognizes it automatically.
You don’t need to set up the partnership again. You can initiate synchronization from
your device anytime via several connection options—via USB sync cable, infrared,
or Bluetooth connections. For more information on these connection options and
other ActiveSync configur ation settings, see “Using ActiveSync” on page 30.

supports an “always on” capability which uses the GSM network only during data
transmission. This means users only pay for the amount of downloaded information
rather than the duration of the network connection.
The communication software for creating a GPRS connection is already installed on your
device. Your service provider will provide software needed to install other services, such
as paging and fax services.
Once you’ve established a GPRS connection, you can:
•Use Messaging to send and receive e-mail messages.
•Use Internet Explorer Mobile to access Web or WAP pages
•Use Windows Media Player 10 Mobile for Pocket PC to listen to streaming media
•Use MSN Messenger to conduct IM sessions with your friends and colleagues.
Configuring your GPRS connection
NOTE: GPRS Settings application is not available on all configurations.
You have two options to configure your GPRS connection—using the GPRS Settings
or the Connections option under the Settings > Connections preferences.
To manually configure GPRS connection using GPRS Settings:
See “To configure GPRS connection using GPRS settings” on page 157 for more
information.
To manually configure GPRS connection using Settings:
See “To connect to the Internet” on page 59 for more information.
For more information on configuring your device’s GPRS setting, contact your mobile
phone service provider.

for existing wireless local area network (WLAN) access points or hot spots. WLAN
access points or hot spots can be found in homes and office or public areas such as
inside airports, restaurants, coffee shops, hotels, or other public areas. Just like in a
GPRS connection, a WiFi access allows you to connect to a computer, access the
Internet, and send/ receive e-mail and files.
NOTE: WiFi access in some areas may require a separate purchase of a service
contract with a wireless service provider. Check with a WiFi service provider in your
area for more information.

Synchronizing Outlook e-mail messages
Outlook e-mail messages can be synchronized as part of the general ActiveSync
synchronization process.
During ActiveSync synchronization:
•Only the first 500 bytes (or characters, including spaces) of each new message
sent to you within the last three days.
•Messages are copied from the Outlook Inbox folder on your computer, or from a
Microsoft Exchange server, to the Outlook E-mail Inbox folder on your device.
•The messages on your device and on your computer are linked. When you delete a
message on your device, it is also deleted from your computer the next time you

Synchronizing POP3/IMAP4 e-mail messages
POP3/IMAP4 e-mail messages are downloaded using an e-mail server connection.
During e-mail server synchronization:
•New e-mail messages are downloaded to that account’s Inbox folder.
•E-mail messages in that account’s Outbox folder are sent.
•E-mail messages that have been deleted in the e-mail server are removed from
your device’s Inbox folder.
•If you are using a POP3 account and you move e-mail messages to a folder you
created, the link is broken between the messages on your device and their copies
on the e-mail server. The next time you connect, the e-mail server sees that the
messages are missing from the de vice’s Inbox and delete them from the server.
This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it also means
that you will no longer have access to messages that you move to folders created
from anywhere except your device.
•If you are using an IMAP4 account, the folders you create and the e-mail messages
you move are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you
anytime you connect to your e-mail server, whether it is from your device or from
your computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to
your mail server, create new folders or rename/delete folders when connected.
To synchronize POP3/IMAP4 e-mail messages:
1 On the message list on your device, tap Menu > Go To, then select the e-mail
account you want to use.
2Tap Menu > Send/Receive.
