1.2 User and Product Safety

x Do not stare into the laser or LED beam directly or shine it into eyes.

x Never use strong pressure onto the screen or subject it to severe impact, as the LCD panel

could become cracked and possibility cause personal injury. If the LCD panel is broken,
never touch the liquid inside because the liquid irritates the skin.

x Although the PDT has passed the test of IP54 standard for water and dust resistance,

avoid prolonged exposure to rain or other concentrated moisture. Such conditions exceeds
the IP54 standard, and could result in water or other contaminants entering into the PDT.

x Use only the original approved AC Adapter with the PDT. Use of an unapproved AC

Adapter could result in electrical problems, or even cause a fire or electrical shock to the
user.

x Do not disassemble the PDT. Servicing should be done by Opticon only. If the PDT or

accessories gets damaged due to wrong handling or unauthorized repair, warranty is void.
In case the warranty seals are broken, warranty is void too.

x Make regularly back-ups of all important data.

x Under no circumstance will Opticon be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential or

incidental damages aging out of the use or inability to use both the hardware and software
and/or any data loss, even if Opticon has been informed about the possibility of such
damages.

Batteries According to the Instructions.

Lithium-ion battery packs might get hot, explode, ignite and/or cause serious injury if exploded
by abusive using. Please follow the safety warnings listed as below:

x Do not throw the battery pack in fire. Do not expose the battery to high temperatures.

x Do not connect the positive battery pack with negative battery pack to each other with any metal

object (like wire).

x Do not carry or store battery pack together with metal objects.

x Do not pierce the battery pack with nails or drills, strike the battery pack with a hammer,

step on the battery pack or otherwise expose it to strong impacts, shocks or excessive
force.

x Do not solder onto the battery pack.

x Do not expose battery pack to liquid or allow the battery contacts to get wet.

x Do not disassemble or modify the battery pack. The battery pack contains safety and

protection measures, which, if damaged, may cause the battery pack to generate heat,
explode or ignite.

x Do not discharge the batteries outside the H-15 series PDT. Do not use the battery in

another device then the PDT or CRD-15 series cradles. Otherwise, the battery pack can be
damaged, or its life expectancy reduced. If the device causes any abnormal current to flow, it
may cause the battery pack to become hot, explode or ignite and cause serious injury.

x In the event the battery pack leaks and the fluid gets into one’s eye, do not rub the eye.

Rinse well with water and immediately seek medical care. If left untreated, the battery fluid

messages to be sent, deleted, and copied, and the number of attachments to be
downloaded.

9 Download message from the server:

When you download messages, you need to create two connections: a remote
connection and a mail server connection. The remote connection connects you and your
ISP or network. The mail server connection downloads messages from your mail server
to Inbox on your device. When you select Services> Connect in Inbox, Inbox starts a
remote connection using the connection you specified when setting up the current mail
service. If you are already connected through a remote connection other than the one you
specified in the service, you will be asked if you want to use the current connection. If you
choose not to, you will need to disconnect from the current connection before you can
check for new messages.

¾ Select the Services menu and make sure that the service you want to use is

selected (the selected service has a bullet next to it.)

¾ Select Services> Connect. The messages on your device and mail server are

synchronized: new messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder,
messages in the device Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been
deleted on the server are removed from the device Inbox. Double-tap a message
list to open it.

¾ If you read a message and decide that you need the full copy, select File> Get

Full Copy while in the message window or Services> Get Full Copy while in list

view. This will also download message attachments and meeting requests if you
have those options selected in the Inbox Preferences dialog box. You can also
choose to download full copies of messages by default.

¾

When finished, select Services> Connect to disconnect. You also need to
disconnect your dial-up connection by double-tapping the icon in the status bar
and selecting Disconnect.

The size column in the Inbox list view displays the local size and server size of a
message. Even when a message has been downloaded fully, these numbers may differ
because the size of a message can very between the server and the device.

z

When using IMAP4 to get Outlook + data, you will see the contents of your Journal folder.
File editing transactions and documents (such as Task items, e-mail message, and Word
documents) attached using drag and drop will appear as shortcuts on the device. A copy
of the document will not be moved to your device, and the shortcut on the device cannot
be used to access the documents associated with a journal entry to the device, attach
the document to the entry rather than dragging and dropping it. Also, be sure to set your
IMAP4 service to receive full copies of messages, attachments, and meeting requests.
For more information on using Journal, see the Help for the desktop version of Outlook.

9 Working with Message Attachments:

¾ If you receive messages through a remote mail server, in Inbox on the device, select

the Get file attachments and meeting requests (IMAP4) or Get meeting requests
(POP3) setting in the Inbox Preferences dialog box. For more information, see Set

Inbox preferences.

Notes:

z Embedded images and OLE objects cannot be received as attachments

z

Embedded messages can be viewed as an attachment when using IMAP4 to receive
e-mail. However, this features does not work if TNEF is enabled so that you can
receive meeting requests.

9

Check attachments status:

¾ An attachment sent with an e-mail message, whether it has been downloaded or not,

will appear as an icon at the bottom of the message in its own window pane. If you
don’t see this pane, select File> Attachments> Show Attachments. If TNEF is
turned on so you can receive meeting requests, you will not see attachments until they
are fully downloaded.

¾

To mark an attachment for downloading in a POP3 or IMAP4 service, double-click it.
The attachment will be downloaded the next time you connect. You can also set Inbox
to download attachments automatically when you get a full copy of a message. For
more information, see Receive attachments.

9 About document conversion

If an e-mail program is installed on your device and you receive an attached Word
document or template created in Word version 6.0 or later, WordPad will convert the file
on your device. To view the document, simply open the attachment in your e-mail
program or open the file in the WordPad.
During conversion, some formatting attributes may be changed or lost. To avoid losing
these attributes permanently, close the file after viewing it rather saving the file on your
device. If you save the file, save with a different file name.
For more information about conversion performed on your device, see the following
topics.
