Insert your SIM card

Remove the rear cover by
gently sliding the square button
in the direction of the arrow
then lift the cover off.

Lift up the flap of the SIM
holder and insert the SIM so
that the gold contacts are face
down. (You’ll need to match
the SIM’s angled corner to the
angled corner of the holder.)
Then push the SIM holder lock
into place.

Please be careful not to force
any of the SIM reader
components, as this may cause
damage. It doesn’t take much
pressure to insert the
SIM correctly.

Insert the battery
and replace the cover

Carefully connect the battery
so the gold contacts connect
with the row of connectors on

the top left hand side of the
Xda Exec (just below the
camera lens). You can only fit
the battery one way and you
shouldn’t need to use force.

Gently press the battery
down to secure it in place.

Slide the red catch into the
Lock position.

Slide the battery cover towards
the camera lens then gently
snap into place.

Charge the battery

You need to charge the battery
fully before using your Xda Exec
for the first time.

Connect the AC charger to your
Xda Exec and plug it into the
wall. We recommend you use
the AC adaptor the first time
you charge your Xda, and not
the PC synchronisation cable.

A solid amber light shows your
Xda Exec is being charged. This
light will turn green when the
battery is fully charged. We

recommend you charge the
battery for at least eight hours
before using your Xda Exec for
the first time.

Turn on and set up for the
first time

Turn on your Xda Exec by
pressing the power button
on the left-hand edge.

A welcome screen will appear.
It will prompt you to tap the

screen to set up your Pocket PC.

You can do this by following
the on-screen instructions.

Your Xda Exec will start to set
itself up and add applications
supplied by O2. After one or
two minutes, you’ll see a
customisation screen which lets
you tailor your Xda Exec in a
way you’re comfortable with.

Personal (default): gives you

the full Xda Exec experience,
including the O

2

Active menu.
We recommend this if you are
a new user.

Basic: configures your connection

settings and adds extra touches
so that the Xda is even easier

to use. We recommend this if
you’re an experienced Xda user
or if you want to load third
party applications that use the
Today screen.

Corporate: a tailored solution

from O

2

. No settings or O

2

enhancements are installed –
this option is only available if
your Xda is supplied by your
IT manager.

For Personal and Basic options,
choose your country and
connection settings. The default
is Postpay GPRS/3G but you can

use the slower GSM settings
if you prefer.

Tap Finish to complete your set
up. Your Xda Exec will then
restart itself.

Enter your PIN

When your Xda Exec restarts,
it may ask you to enter the
PIN for your SIM. (All new
connections to O

2

have a PIN

on their SIM.)

Tap in your PIN and select Enter

.

Please note: If you enter the

wrong PIN three times, the SIM
card will be blocked
automatically and you won’t be
able to make or receive any calls,
texts or picture messages. To
unblock your SIM card, please
contact your service provider.

Synchronise with your PC

Because your Xda Exec is
designed to complement your
PC as a PDA, you can work with
the same information in both
places. You can synchronise
your Xda Exec with Microsoft

®

Outlook® on your PC. This will
let you keep a copy of your
address book, appointments
and emails on both your Xda
Exec and computer. Whenever
you add appointments or write
emails on your Xda, you can
copy them across to your PC
each time you connect.

This way, you’ll always have
a back up copy of your
information. To synchronise
your Xda Exec with your
Windows PC, you need to install
Microsoft ActiveSync®.
(You’ll find ActiveSync on the
Companion CD in your Xda Exec
box, along with a copy of
Microsoft Outlook 2002 and a
single PC licence.)

After you’ve installed ActiveSync,
connect the USB cable to your
PC and Xda Exec then follow
the on-screen instructions to
get synchronised.
