3 Push the battery in slightly (1) using protrusion at the lower right hand
corner of the battery, then lift the battery (2) from that same edge to remove it.
4 Insert the battery with the notched edge first (the edge with the gold

5 Replace the back cover.

Charge the Battery

Your device comes with a removable, rechargeable lithium-ion battery. When you first receive your device, it is important that you fully charge the battery as described below.
! Only use the charger and battery provided with your device or approved
by T-Mobile, or you risk damaging your device.
! Do not insert battery chargers from previous Sidekick models into the
stereo headset jack.
If you attach your device to your computer via USB, be aware that the power received may not be enough to charge your device. For example, when computers are in “sleep” mode, only a trickle charge may be supplied via USB. In this situation you could lose more power than you gain. To connect the device to your computer, insert the USB plug into your device’s USB port with the icon on the top of the plug.
12 Prior to Using Your Device
1 Locate the battery charger that came in the box with your device. Insert
the charger’s USB plug into your device’s USB port, which is next to the power button. Make sure the icon is on the top of the plug.
Now plug the power cord into a standard electrical wall outlet.
An orange charge indicator light will go on and a lightning bolt icon will appear over the battery icon in the title bar, indicating the charger is connected and the battery is charging. If your device has discharged completely, it may take up to 15 minutes before you see any indication of charging on the screen. When the battery is fully charged, the indicator turns green. If any error occurs when charging, the indicator turns red.
2 Put the device in a safe place and let the battery charge for at least four
hours with the device powered on. As the device is charging, the bars in the battery icon fill repeatedly
from left to right. When your device is fully charged, the lightning bolt icon will disappear and the bars will stop moving and remain in the filled position.
It is recommended that you charge your device nightly. If you plan
to leave it unattended for an extended period of time, be aware that the battery may discharge within a few days if it is turned on and not attached to the charger.

n Usernames must start with an alphabetic character (A-Z) and can
include numbers (0-9), dashes (-), periods (.), and underscores (_), but no other punctuation. Although you can use periods within a username, do not use a period at the beginning or end of the name, and do not use two periods (..) in a row.
n Usernames must be at least 2 but no more than 32 characters long. n Usernames are not case-sensitive. For example, if your username is
“jamie”, you will be authenticated if you sign in by typing “Jamie”, “JAMIE”, or any combination of upper or lowercase letters.
14 Prior to Using Your Device

n
For enhanced security, do not choose an actual word that appears in any language dictionary. Do not choose a proper name, such as the name of a child, local sports team, pet’s name, or city of birth. Do not choose adjacent letters on your keyboard or a sequential or repeating combination of letters or characters, such as “12345678”, “222222”, “abcdefg”.
n For enhanced security, do choose a password that is more than seven
characters long, mixes letters and numerals, and uses upper- and lower-case letters.
n Passwords are case-sensitive. For example, if you set your password
to be “Hard2Guess”, then you will not be authenticated if you sign in

To manage these settings, do the following:
1 Press JUMP , then press MENU and select Location & Privacy. 2 Update location – Use this option to start a GPS update. This can also
be achieved by navigating to the Advanced menu. 3 Select the Advanced menu item to view the following:

location, when the information was last updated and accuracy data.
n Permissions – Downloaded applications require permission to find
your location. Use this screen to change an applications’ permission status.
Setting Up Your Device 31
n Distance Display Unit – Select your distance display unit preference

Troubleshooting

How do I know when my account is ready to register for data services?
Once your account is ready for you to register for data services, you will see a “Welcome” message on your screen. If the Welcome message doesn’t appear on your device within 48 hours, contact T-Mobile Customer Care department.
In order to comply with airline regulations, how can I temporarily disable wireless connectivity when traveling?
Remember to switch to “Airplane Mode” during aircraft takeoff and landing. To turn off wireless connectivity (to comply with FAA regulations) follow these instructions:
1 From the Jump screen, press MENU , and select Airplane Mode >
Turn Wireless Off.
2 Your device is now offline. Confirm offline status by looking at the title
bar; the radio icon and “OFF” should blink alternately.
Even without wireless connectivity, you can still access the device applications and read email messages that have already been downloaded. However, you will not be able to send or receive messages until you enable wireless connectivity again.
How can I protect my device from damage?
The best way to protect your device is to carry it with the display closed and in the protective sleeve supplied in the box. You risk damaging your device if you do not protect the display. Also, water–even in small amounts or in the form of steam–can seriously damage your device and charger, so keep your device dry and away from potential water sources.
Troubleshooting 81
I needed to remove my battery, so I did. After I put the battery back in my device, it powered up, but all my messages and other data were gone. Is it all gone for good?
No, all your data is regularly saved in an ongoing basis to the Danger service so it is safe. If you wait a few minutes, all your data will be restored to your device. (Note, however, that any data you entered or modified between the last save to the Danger service and when you removed the battery will be lost.)
Chances are you removed the battery before powering off your device. Every time you power off your device, your data is saved to the device’s internal flash memory. However, if you remove your battery before shutting down, your data will not be saved to flash. It is recommended that you always power off your device before removing the battery!
How can I improve radio reception when I’m in a “fringe” coverage area?
Try the following to improve radio reception:
n Use the hands-free headset and position the phone away from your body. n Walk to a window if you are indoors. n
Step outside of buildings that have high metal, concrete, or earthen content, because they may absorb radio signals.
n Step away from metallic windows because they absorb RF energy. n Go to the highest spot possible to make the call. n Step away from computers or electronic equipment. n If you are in a car, first park, then try the call from outside the car. n If you are near or directly under a cellular/PCS radio tower, walk at least
one block away.
My device has not connected to the service for quite a while. Is there anything I can do myself before calling Customer Care?
Yes, try powering your device off and on. After your device boots, you’ll know you’ve connected to the service when you see the in the title bar again.
82 Troubleshooting
What can I do when the device is frozen?
Remove the battery, wait for one minute or so, then put the battery back in the device.
What Web browsers do you support on the Desktop Interface?
Web browsers IE 5+ are supported on both the Windows and Macintosh operating systems, as well as Firefox and Safari.
Why do the Web pages I open using the device’s Web Browser application appear different from the pages I open on my desktop computer?
The Web pages displayed on your device have been reformatted so they are easier to read on a small display. The same or similar information displays; it’s just laid out on the screen so that it’s easier to view on your device.
What are the requirements for getting my POP or IMAP email accounts to appear on my device?
To fetch messages from an email account, you must gather the following information:
n Name of the remote email server (e.g., mail.example.com). n Protocol used by the remote email server (e.g., POP, IMAP). n Your username on the remote email server. (For example, if your email
address is joe@example.com, then your username is “joe”.)
n Your password on the remote email server. This is the same password
you use to open the remote email directly.
Most Internet Service Providers and University email systems work with the POP3 protocol. If you are not sure of the protocol, use the Auto-detect setting, or you can call or email your remote service and ask what protocol they support. The remote service operators can also tell you the name of the remote email server.
Troubleshooting 83
Once you have all this information, set up your external account by following the instructions in “Fetch Email from External Accounts” on page 56 of this guide. Once set up, your remote email account will be checked periodically and a copy of all new, unread messages will be placed in the Email mailbox on your device.
How secure is my account data on the Desktop Interface? There may be sensitive information stored in contact information (for example, credit card numbers) that must be secure!
Information in your account is stored on servers in a data center with enhanced security and firewall features. Please refer to the T-Mobile Privacy Policy and the Danger® Service Privacy Notice for more information.
What should I do if I need a replacement part for my device or if I need to have my device repaired?
Contact T-Mobile Customer Care department for support.
How can I clean my device screen?
The screen on your device is coated with a protective layer of polycarbonate. You can safely use warm soapy water, denatured alcohol, or isopropyl alcohol to remove dirt and smudges from your screen. Be sure to use a very soft cotton cloth, such as an old t-shirt, to prevent scratching when wiping the screen.
How do I report a lost device?
Call T-Mobile Customer Care department to report the lost device as soon as possible! T-Mobile will disable your lost device and your existing data will remain stored on the service, assuming no one has tampered with the data since you lost the device. When you receive your new device, your account data will be downloaded to it automatically after you sign in with your existing username and password.
84 Troubleshooting
The device is not charging when I connect it to a personal computer using the USB cable. What’s wrong?
Some personal computers are not able to charge your device using the USB cable. If this is the case with your computer, when you attach your device to the computer, you will see an alert on the device telling you that you are receiving a USB charge that is too low for charging your device. Instead, use the power adapter included in the box for charging.
Why can’t I use the Location Based Services (LBS)?
Confirm that the LBS is not set to off. Also, note that the LBS will not function if the device is in ‘Airplane Mode’. You cannot use the Location Based Services (LBS) when you are underground or in a building. The LBS may be slow or may not function properly when surrounded by obstacles, or buildings, or when the LBS antenna is covered by your hand. The LBS antenna is located by the D-Pad.

Regulatory and Compliance Information 91
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government and Industry Canada of the Canadian Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The available scientific evidence does not show that any health problems are associated with using low power wireless devices. There is no proof, however, that these low power wireless devices are absolutely safe. Low power Wireless devices emit low levels of radio frequency energy (RF) in the microwave range while being used. Whereas high levels of RF can produce health effects (by heating tissue), exposure to low-level RF that does not produce heating effects causes no known adverse health effects. Many studies of low-level RF exposures have not found any biological effects. Some studies have suggested that some biological effects might occur, but such findings have not been confirmed by additional research. In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this wireless device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines. SAR information for this device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID: APYNAR0065 for the PV300 model (850/900/17
00/1800/1900/2100 MHz).
For body-worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines and IC RF
exposure rules, keep the Sidekick at least 5/8 inch (15 mm) away from the body, and only use the carrying cases, belt clips, or holders that do not have metal parts and that maintain at least 5/8 inch (15mm) separation between the Sidekick and the body. When carrying the device on your person, it is recommended to turn the screen display in toward the body in order to minimize RF exposure and maximize antenna efficiency.
Hearing Aid Compatibility with Mobile Phones
When some mobile phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed ratings for some of their mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones that are rated have the rating on their box or a label on the box.
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss. If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal needs.
92 Regulatory and Compliance Information
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings.
T-Ratings: Phones rated T3 or T4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to be more usable with a hearing device’s telecoil (“T Switch” or “Telephone Switch”) than unrated phones. T4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. (Note that not all hearing devices have telecoils in them.)
Hearing devices may also be measured for immunity to this type of interference. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may help you find results for your hearing device. The more immune your hearing aid is, the less likely you are to experience interference noise from mobile phones.
Regulatory Compliance Information for Europe
EU Declaration of Conformity
Hereby, Sharp Corporation, declares that model PV300 is in compliance with the essential requirements and other relevant provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC.

Danger® Service Privacy Statement
Microsoft and its subsidiary, Danger, Inc., (collectively “Microsoft”) are committed to protecting your privacy, while delivering software and services that bring you the performance, power, and convenience you desire in your personal computing. This privacy statement explains many of the data collection and use practices of Microsoft’s Danger wireless data services, (“Danger Service”). It does not apply to other online or offline Microsoft sites, products, or services. This privacy statement does not apply to the data collection and use practices of your wireless network operator that offers the Danger Service.
The Danger Service, operated on behalf of your wireless network operator, enables certain features on your wireless device, including email, Internet access, instant messaging, address book and calendar functions. The Danger Service also includes a Web site operated by Microsoft (“Danger Service Web Site”) that users may use to access these features, as described more fully in the Reference Guide accom­panying your wireless device.
Collection and Use of Your Information
The information we collect from you will be used by Microsoft and its controlled subsidiaries and affiliates to enable the features you are using and provide the service(s) or carry out the transaction(s) you have requested or authorized. It may also be used to analyze and improve Microsoft products and services.
We may send certain mandatory service communications such as welcome letters, billing reminders, information on technical service issues, and security announcements. Some Microsoft services may send periodic member letters that are considered part of the service. We may occasionally request your feed­back, invite you to participate in surveys, or send you promotional mailings to inform you of other products or services available from Microsoft and its affiliates.
In order to offer you a more consistent and personalized experience in your interactions with Microsoft, information collected through one Microsoft service may be combined with information obtained through other Microsoft services. We may also supplement the information we collect with information obtained from other companies. For example, we may use services from other companies that enable us to derive a general geographic area based on your IP address in order to customize certain services to your geo­graphic area.
Except as described in this statement, personal information you provide will not be transferred to third parties without your consent. Your personal information may be shared with third parties for their use to fulfill your requests and purchases of products and services. Additionally, we occasionally hire other com­panies to provide limited services on our behalf, such as processing and collecting payments, servicing accounts, providing the products and services associated with the Danger Service, or performing statisti­cal analysis of our services. We will only provide those companies the personal information they need to deliver the service, and they are prohibited from using that information for any other purpose.
Microsoft may access or disclose information about you, including the content of your communications, in order to: (a) comply with the law or respond to lawful requests or legal process; (b) protect the rights or property of Microsoft or our customers, including the enforcement of our agreements or policies govern­ing your use of the Danger Service; or (c) act on a good faith belief that such access or disclosure is neces­sary to protect the personal safety of Microsoft employees, customers, or the public.
Legal Information 99
Information that is collected by or sent to Microsoft by the Danger Service may be stored and processed in the United States or any other country in which Microsoft or its affiliates, subsidiaries, or service providers maintain facilities. Microsoft abides by the safe harbor framework as set forth by the U.S. Department of Commerce regarding the collection, use, and retention of data from the European Union.
Collection and Use of Information about Your Computer or Wireless Device
When you use Internet-enabled features of the Danger Service, information about your computer or wirless device (“standard computer information”) is sent to the Web sites you visit and online services you use. Microsoft uses standard computer information to provide you Internet-enabled services, to help improve our products and services, and for statistical analysis. Standard computer information typically in­cludes information such as your IP address, operating system version, browser version, and regional and language settings. In some cases, standard computer information may also include hardware ID, which indicates the device manufacturer, device name, and version. If a particular feature or service sends infor­mation to Microsoft, standard computer information will be sent as well.
Collection and Use of Danger Service Usage Data
The Danger Service collects certain information about actions you take while using the Danger Service and how you use the Danger Service (“Usage Data”). For example, the Danger Service automatically gath­ers information regarding which Web pages are visited by users of the Danger Service. In addition, data regarding usage of various features of the Danger Service is collected, such as how many email messages or IM messages are sent by a particular user or by users in the aggregate, the most popular Web sites vis­ited by users of the Danger Service, the number of Web pages viewed at the Danger Service Web Site and other similar information. Similarly, for network monitoring purposes, the Danger Service records how many devices in the aggregate are connected to the Danger Service in particular geographic locations, but the Danger Service does not automatically identify the location of individual devices or users.
Usage Data gathered from your use of the Danger Service is stored under an automatically generated identification number that will not be linked to information that identifies you or can be used to contact you without your consent, except as specifically provided in this privacy statement.
Usage Data is used to effectively operate the Danger Service and enhance your experience using the Danger Service. For example, cached versions of the Web sites that are most frequently visited by users are stored on the Danger Service so that you can access them more quickly. Usage Data is also used to understand how certain features of the Danger Service are being used and to measure the costs of provid­ing certain features. Usage Data may also be used to diagnose and correct problems with the Danger Service. In some cases, it may be necessary to link Usage Data relating to your use of the Danger Service with you individually in order to correct problems that you may be experiencing with the Danger Service. In general, the collection and use of Usage Data allows for continuing development of the Danger Service and the ability to provide improved features and services to users. Usage Data may be shared with third parties for research, analysis, or other similar purposes. Usage Data will only be shared with third par­ties if the information is disclosed in a manner that does not identify individual users to the third parties concerned.
Security of your information
Microsoft is committed to helping protect the security of your information. We use a variety of security technologies and procedures to help protect your information from unauthorized access, use, or disclo­sure. For example, we store the information you provide on computer systems with limited access, which are located in controlled facilities.
