This guide tells you everything you need to know about your device: the things you’ll do every day, the advanced features that let you get the most out of your device, and the things that make your device not only useful, but fun.
Here are some helpful tips for making it easier to read and find information in this guide as you view it in Adobe Reader:
•To magnify the page, click the magnifying glass , move the cursor (which is now a magnifying glass) over the page, and click repeatedly. Click Previous View ( or depending on your version of Reader) to return to the original view.
•Click an entry in the Table of Contents or Index to go directly to that section of the guide.
•If you click a link and go to a page, in the guide click Previous View ( or depending on your version of Reader) to return to the page you were on before you clicked the link.
•If you click a link and go to a web page, the page may open in Adobe Reader instead of in your web browser. To specify whether pages open in Reader or in your web browser, go to the Edit menu in Reader, select Preferences, and then select Web Capture. In the Open Web Links dropdown list, select either In Acrobat or In Web Browser, and then click OK.
•When selecting the page(s) to print, be sure to use the file page number shown at the bottom of your computer screen, not the printed page number. For example, to print the first page of Chapter 2, “Your Mobile Manager,” select page 41 (the file page), not page 18 (the printed page).

Tip
Also take a minute to learn about proper care and handling of your device.
Setting Up Your Device and Your Computer
What you should know about your device’s battery
While your device is charging, take a minute to learn about the battery:
•If you see an alert on the screen warning you that the battery is low, recharge your device. Also recharge your device if it doesn’t turn on when you press the power button. So that your battery doesn’t drain completely, your device’s Wi-Fi® functionality and expansion card slot functionality are automatically turned off when you see a “Low battery” warning message, and the Bluetooth® wireless technology and infrared (IR) functionality are turned off when you see a “Critically low battery” warning message.
NOTE The memory on your device is designed to store your information even if the battery becomes drained to the point that you cannot turn on your device. When you recharge your device, all of your existing information, both in program memory and on the hard drive, should appear.
•Conserve battery life by doing any of the following:
•Adjust the screen brightness.
•Reduce the Auto-off setting.
•Use Keylock to prevent your device from turning on by accident.
•Stop music or video playback when not in use.
•Keep your device connected to the AC charger plugged into a power outlet when using Drive Mode or Camera Companion for an extended period of time.
•Respond to or cancel alerts promptly.
•Turn off Bluetooth wireless technology and Wi-Fi functionality when not in use.
•If using Auto Sync to automatically retrieve email messages, set the time interval to one hour or less often.
•Minimize use of the expansion card slot.
