Prior to Using Your Device 9

Insert and Remove the SIM Card

The SIM card slot is located just to the left of the battery slot. To access it,
do the following:

1 If the battery is installed, remove the battery by following the steps in

“Insert and Remove the Battery” on page 11.

2 Hold card with gold contacts facing down and card notch facing to the

upper right. Slide the card into the slot and push to lock in place.

3

To remove the SIM card, use your finger to press down gently and slide
the card right. When it’s free of the slot, lift the card to remove it.

Insert and Remove the Memory Card

Your device includes a slot for a Micro Secure Digital (microSD™) flash
memory card. The memory card is not required for the device to function
and can be inserted at any time.

The memory card slot is located next to the battery as shown below.

10 Prior to Using Your Device

1 To insert the memory card, hold the card with the gold contacts facing

down and the card notch facing to the right. Insert the card into the slot
and push to lock into place.

2 To remove the memory card, push the card in slightly and release; the

card should spring partly out of the slot. Pull the card free of the device.

! Forcing the memory card out before pushing to release it may cause the

card or slot to break.

Formatting the Memory Card

For optimal performance, it is recommended that you format the memory
card on the device . Please note that formatting the card will permanently

erase all items that are on the card.

1 Press JUMP . to go to the Jump screen. Press MENU to open the

menu, then select Settings >Memory Card.

(1)

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

contacts) and then push the battery down to lock into place.

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.

Prior to Using Your Device 13

Register Your Device

Before you can start using your Sidekick LX 2009, you must register for
data services. This section is for new users only. Returning users can sign

3 Select a username.

The username you type will become the first part of your email address
(for example, [e-mail]). Before you select a username,
read the following:

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

Once you decide on a username, type it in the text box, then select

Next.

4 Select a password.

Select a secure password that follows the rules below:

n Passwords cannot be the same as your username.
n Passwords must contain 4-15 characters, can include both letters and

numbers, but no spaces, single quotes ('), semicolons (;), backslashes
(\), or percent signs (%).

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

by typing “hard2guess”.
Type the password in the text box, then type it again to confirm. You will
see feedback on how secure your password is.

5 Select a challenge question and type your answer.

one of these alternatives or type a different username. Note that if you
are out of network coverage, you’ll be asked to “try again” to resume
registration.
