1 First Things First

• Package contents

• Preparing to use your MC35

Package contents

Your MC35 comes packed in a cardboard box. Carefully unpack the box and remove the contents. If any of the following items are missing or damaged, contact your dealer immediately.

• MC35 Enterprise Digital Assistant

• Stylus

• Standard life battery

• AC adapter (with four region-specific clip plugs)

• USB sync cable

• MC35 Quick Start Guide

• MC35 Regulatory Guide

Preparing to use your MC35

Perform the following easy setup tasks to begin using your device:

1 Install the battery pack.

2 Charge your device.

3 Install ActiveSync 4.2 or higher on your computer.

4 Start the MC35.

5 Create an ActiveSync partnership between your device and your computer.

1 First Things First

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.

2 Slide the battery latch toward the unlock icon to release the battery pack from

the chassis (1).

3 Completely 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:

NOTE: Use the clip plug applicable in your country.

1 Slide the replaceable clip plug into the AC adapter until it locks into place with an

audible click.

1 First Things First

Preparing to use your MC35

2 Plug the AC adapter cable into the mini USB connector on bottom of the device.

3 Connect 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.

System installation requirements

• Supported operating systems:

• Windows 2000 Service Pack 4

vary based on selected features and user’s current system configuration)

• USB port, Bluetooth, or infrared connection

1 First Things First

Preparing to use your MC35

To install Microsoft ActiveSync on your computer: 1 Close all open programs, including those that run at startup, and disable any

virus-scanning software.

2 Download the ActiveSync setup software from the Microsoft ActiveSync Download

page at http://www.microsoft.com.

3 On the download prompt, click Open.

4 Follow all on-screen instructions to complete installation.

To confirm you've successfully installed ActiveSync, open ActiveSync, then click Help > About Microsoft ActiveSync.

For detailed information about using ActiveSync on your computer, start ActiveSync on your computer, click Help > Microsoft ActiveSync Help.

Starting the MC35

After you have initially charged your device, the device is ready for use. You can now start your device where you will calibrate the display, learn basic stylus usage, and set up the system date and time.

To start your MC35:

NOTE: After pressing the power button, wait four seconds for the device to power on before pressing the power button again.

1 Turn on your device by pressi ng the Power button located on the right side of

the touch screen.

2 Follow the on-screen Welcome Screen Wizard instructions.

3 After the device setup, create an ActiveSync partnership to synchronize information

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

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.

2 Follow 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.

1 First Things First

Preparing to use your MC35

3 Click 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.
