SAFETY IN AIRCRAFT

Due to the possible interference caused by this product to an aircraft’s navigation system and its communications network, using this device’s phone function on board an airplane is against the law in most countries. If you want to use this device when on board an aircraft, remember to turn off your phone by switching to Airplane Mode.

ENVIRONMENT RESTRICTIONS

Do not use this product in gas stations, fuel depots, chemical plants or where blasting operations are in progress, or in potentially explosive atmospheres such as fuelling areas, fuel storehouses, below deck on boats, chemical plants, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders. Please be aware that sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.

EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES

When in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere or where flammable materials exist, the product should be turned off and the user should obey all signs and instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death. Users are advised not to use the equipment at refueling points such as service or gas stations, and are reminded of the need to observe restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots, chemical plants, or where blasting operations are in progress. Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. These include fueling areas, below deck on boats, fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities, and areas where the air contains chemicals or particles, such as grain, dust, or metal powders.

ROAD SAFETY

Vehicle drivers in motion are not permitted to use telephony services with handheld devices, except in the case of emergency. In some countries, using hands-free devices as an alternative is allowed.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR RF EXPOSURE

• Avoid using your phone near metal structures (for example, the steel

frame of a building).

• Avoid using your phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as

microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.

• Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories

that do not contain any metal.

• Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate

your local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.

INTERFERENCE WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONS

This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.

If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.

Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.

HEARING AIDS

Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.

NONIONISING RADIATION

Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.

Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorised or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.

To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always use your device only in its normal-use position. Do not touch or hold the antenna area unnecessarily when placing or receiving a phone call. Contact with the antenna area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimises the antenna performance and the battery life.

3.4 Smart Dialing

Smart Dialing makes it easy for you

to dial a phone number.

When you start entering a phone number or contact name, Smart Dialing will automatically search and sort the contact entries on the SIM card, in Contacts, and the phone numbers in Call History (including incoming, outgoing, and missed calls). You can then select the desired number or contact from the filtered list to dial.

Smart Dialing panel

Tips on using Smart Dialing

Smart Dialing starts looking for numbers or contacts that match the sequence you have entered. Below are some tips on how to use Smart Dialing to quickly find a desired phone number or contact.

To find a phone number

• Simply enter the first one or two digits to find a phone number in Call

History.

• Enter the first three digits or more if you want to find a phone number

from the saved contacts on your device and SIM card.

To find a contact name

You can just enter the first letter of a contact’s first name or surname. Smart Dialing will search for the letter starting from the first character of a contact name as well as from the character that appears after a space, dash, or underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap number “2” which is associated with [a, b, c] on the Phone keypad, contact names such as the following will be considered matches: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “JohnCarter”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”, “Thomas_Clark”, “JaneCampbell”.

60 Using Phone Features

If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search further, enter another letter. Using the same example above, if you continue to tap “3” which is associated with [d, e, f], the matching list will be narrowed down to the following names: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”.

Make a call or send a text message using Smart Dialing

1. Press the TALK button on your device to open the Phone screen.

2. Begin entering the first few numbers or characters.

If you want to carry your music or other digital media along with you while you travel, set up Windows Media® Player on your computer to synchronise music and video with your device.

Other than selecting the Media information type to be synchronised, all media synchronisation settings must be set in Windows Media® Player. Before media can be synchronised, you must do the following:

• Install Windows Media® Player Version 11 on the PC. (Windows Media®

Player 11 works only in Windows XP or later versions).

• Connect your device to the PC with a USB cable. If your device is

currently connected using Bluetooth, you must end that connection before media can be synchronised.

• Set up a sync partnership between your device and your PC’s

Windows Media® Player.

For more information about using Windows Media® Player on your device, see Chapter 12.

6.1 Managing Your Phonebook

Your PDA phone gives you several ways to store and manage phone numbers and other information about your contacts.

• Use Contacts to create and save contacts on your device’s memory or

your USIM/SIM card.

• Use SIM Manager to store and manage USIM/SIM contacts.

6.2 Contacts

Contacts is your address book and information storage for the people and

businesses you communicate with. There are three types of contacts that you can create on your device:

• Microsoft® Office Outlook® contacts. Contacts that are stored on

your device, which can be created on your device or synchronised with your PC or the Exchange Server. For each contact, you can store phone numbers, email addresses, instant messaging (IM) names, company and home addresses, and information such as a job title, birthday, and a lot more. You can also add a picture and assign a ring tone to an Outlook contact.

• USIM/SIM contacts. Contacts that are stored on the USIM/SIM card.

Only the name and a phone number can be stored for each entry.

• Windows Live™ contacts. Contacts that you communicate with using

Windows Live™ Messenger or MSN. Just like Outlook contacts, you can also enter complete information for a Windows Live™ contact. For more information, see “Add Windows Live™ contacts” in Chapter 10.

Note You can only add Windows Live™ contacts after you have set up

Windows Live™ on your device.
