1. Getting Started
1.1 Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing a Siemens SX56 Wireless PDA Phone. The integrated wireless voice and data capabilities mean
that as well as keeping your important PIM information up-to-date and close at hand, you can make calls, send and receive email,
and look up valuable information from the Internet or your company’s network anytime, anywhere. Also, with Microsoft
ActiveSync, the power of your device is increased by allowing you to synchronize the information on your PC with your device.
Picture yourself in the following situations:
x
While walking with a colleague, your SX56 rings. You look at the caller ID and see it’s your manager who is calling. She
asks if you two are free this afternoon for an emergency meeting. While your colleague fumbles through his paper organizer,
you press a button on your device and instantly see a list of today’s appointments and meetings. You are quickly able to tell
your manager your available times, and make a note of the new meeting while on the call. You hang up; send e-mail with a
schedule request for the three of you at the desired location.
x
You are meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You download the latest movie information from the Internet to
your PC and then synchronize it with your device. At dinner, you pull out your SX56 and review your movie options with
your friends.
x
A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab your Siemens SX56 Wireless PDA Phone and catch
the bus just in time. Because ActiveSync keeps the information on your device up-to-date, you leisurely review your task list,
make notes about the new books and CDs you want to buy, and read and respond to e-mail messages. When you get back to
the office, ActiveSync transfers any task changes you made, your notes, and your e-mail message responses to your PC.

2.5 Battery Information and Life
Your SX56 contains a rechargeable Lithium-ion polymer battery, which is housed permanently in your device. Under no
circumstances should you attempt to open the device to inspect the battery. Only an authorized service provider should service
the battery.
While you are using the Siemens SX56 Wireless PDA Phone the amount of power consumed depends on whether you are talking
on the phone, using the PDA functions or the device is on standby. If you use only the phone, you can expect a talk time of at least
3 hours on one charge. If you use only the PDA functions, you can expect at least 15 hours of PDA usage on one charge. If your
device is on standby, you can expect at least 150 hours on one charge.

2.5.1 Recharging the Battery
It is extremely important to keep your battery charged, since all data on the device is maintained only if the battery has some
charge remaining. If the battery becomes completely drained, all data on the device above will be erased, and only the programs
installed when you purchased the device will remain. Backing up the data on your device regularly will reduce the negative
effects of losing all battery power. To learn how to back up the data on your device, please refer to Section 3.2.
You can recharge your device in the following ways:

device within this time period to avoid losing your data completely.
3. Understanding Your Device
3.1 How to Reset the Device and Clear Its Memory
There are two options available to you if you need to reset your device. We recommend, in either case, the complete backup of all
data on your device to your PC by using ActiveSync or to a Secure Digital (SD) memory expansion card. More information
about the use of SD cards can be found in the user manual on your companion product CD.
A soft reset is similar to pressing CTRL+ATL+DEL on your PC – some data in open programs may be lost, but most memory is
left intact. A soft reset can be performed by gently pressing the button referenced with the number 1 in Section 2.3 “Bottom Panel
Feature Map” above.
A hard reset erases all memory on the device. Follow the picture instructions below to perform a hard reset.
3.1.1 To perform a soft reset
If your SX56 responds slowly, stops responding, or freezes, try a soft reset. A soft reset causes the device to restart and re-adjust
memory allocation. Unsaved data in open windows may be lost.
x Use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button. (For details on finding soft reset, see, “Chapter 2, Bottom Edge
Features.”)
3.1.2 To perform a full reset
A full device reset clears memory, deletes all data and restores your device to its default settings.
Programs installed at the factory remain, while data you have created and programs you have
installed are erased.
1. Unscrew the stylus and use the smaller point of the top-half.
15
Page 28
2. Press the battery switch once to turn it off, and then once
more to turn it back on.
3.2 Backing Up Files
It is important to back-up the data on your Siemens SX56 Wireless PDA Phone, since this data can be erased permanently if your
battery becomes completely drained.
There are a number of options available to you to perform this back-up:
x When you are at your desktop you can synchronize with your computer to backup files
x
When you are away from your desktop you can backup to an SD card, MMC card or FlashROM.
x Backup individual files in Word or Excel or all files to a SD card.

be converted.
6. If you add writing to a word to change it (such as changing
a “3” to an “8”) after you attempt to recognize the word,
the writing you add will not be included if you attempt to
recognize the writing again.

can swap it by tapping Services then choose what service
you want.
2. If you are sending an SMS message and want to know if it
was received, tap Edit, Options, and select Request SMS
text message delivery notification before sending the
message.
6.3.4 Managing Messages and Folders
By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service you have created: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox,
and Sent Items. The Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the device. The behavior of the Deleted
and Sent Items folders depends on the options you have chosen. In the message list, tap Too ls and then Options. On the Message
tab, select your options.
If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Too ls , and then Manage Folders to create new folders. To move a
message to another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the message and then tap Move to on the pop up menu.
6.3.5 Folder behavior with a direct connection to an e-mail server
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync, SMS, POP3, or IMAP4.
1. If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook will automatically be synchronized with your device.
76
Page 89
You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you created and the
messages you moved will then be mirrored on the server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox folder to a
folder named ‘Family’, and you have designated ‘Family’ for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the ‘Family’
folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read the messages while away from your PC.
2. If you use SMS, messages are stored in the Inbox folder of SMS category.
3. If you use POP3 and you move e-mail messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the messages on the
device and their copies on the mail server. The next time you connect, the mail server will see that the messages are missing
from the device Inbox and delete them from the server. This prevents you from having duplicate copies of a message, but it
also means that you will no longer have access to messages that you moved to folders created from anywhere except the
device.
4. If you use IMAP4, the folders you created and the e-mail messages you moved are mirrored on the server. Therefore,
messages are available to you anytime you connect to your mail server, whether it is from your device or PC. This
synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your mail server; create new folders, or rename/delete folders
when connected.
6.3.6 Transferring Items Using Infrared
Using infrared (IR), you can send and receive information, such as contacts and appointments, between two devices.
To send information:
1. Switch to the program where you created the item you want to send, and locate this item in the list.
2. Align the IR ports of the two devices so that they are unobstructed and within a close range.
3. Tap and hold the item, and tap Beam Item on the pop up menu.
You can also send items, but not folders, from File Explorer. Tap and hold the item
you want to send, and then tap Beam File on the pop up menu.
To receive information:
1. Align the IR ports of the two devices so that they are unobstructed and within a close range.
2. Have the owner of the other device send the information to you. Your device will automatically receive it.
6.4 Terminal Services Client
Using the Terminal Services Client, you can log onto a Windows NT server type PC that is running Terminal Services software
and use all of the programs that are available on that PC from your mobile device. For example, instead of running Microsoft
Pocket Word, you can run the PC version of Microsoft Word and access all of the .doc files on that PC from your device.
You cannot use Tra ns cr ibe r when entering information in Terminal Services. You
must use Keyboard, Block Recognizer, or Letter Recognizer.

7. Microsoft ActiveSync
Using Microsoft ActiveSync, you can synchronize the information on your PC with the information on your device.
Synchronization compares the data on your device with your PC and updates both with the most recent information. For example:
x Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device with Microsoft Outlook data on your PC.
x
Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your device and PC. Your files are automatically converted
to the correct format
By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of
information. Use ActiveSync options to turn synchronization on and off for
specific information types.
With ActiveSync, you can also:
x
Back up and restore your device data.
x Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and PC.
x Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization mode. For example, you can synchronize continually
while connected to your PC or only when you choose the synchronize command.
x
Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose
how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.
After installation is complete, the ActiveSync Setup Wizard helps you to connect your device to your PC, set up a partnership so
you can synchronize information between your device and your PC, and customize your synchronization settings. Your first
synchronization process will automatically begin when you finish using the wizard.
After your first synchronization, take a look at Calendar, Contacts, and Tasks on your device. You’ll notice that information
you’ve stored in Microsoft Outlook on your PC has been copied to your device, and you didn’t have to type a word. Disconnect
your device from your PC and you’re ready to go!
Once you have set up ActiveSync and completed the first synchronization process, you can initiate synchronization from your
device. To switch to ActiveSync on your device, tap
you can synchronize remotely from your device.
, and then tap ActiveSync. Note that if you have a wireless LAN card,

7.1 Synchronizing Files Between Your Device and Your PC
When you first setup a connection, or by tapping Options in ActiveSync on your desktop, you can see, under Mobile Device, the
list of programs that may be synchronized - this list includes: Calendar, Contacts, Tas k s, Inbox, Files, Pocket Access,
Favorites and Ava nt Go channels. Files is a specially created folder on your desktop in My Documents into which you must
place all files (Word, Excel etc) you wish to synchronize.
How to Synchronize Files
1. Select Files in ActiveSync, and then OK to creating a new folder.
2. Use Windows Explorer on your desktop to find this folder – usually called My Documents pre-fixed by the name you gave
to your connection – then copy files you want to synchronize into this folder.
3. Tap Synchronize in ActiveSync.
For more information about ActiveSync on your device, switch to ActiveSync, tap
, and then tap Help.
8. Microsoft Pocket Outlook
Microsoft Pocket Outlook includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Inbox, and Notes. You can use these programs individually or
simultaneously. For example, e-mail addresses stored in Contacts can be used to address e-mail messages in Inbox.
Using ActiveSync, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange on your PC with your device.
You can also synchronize this information directly with a Microsoft Exchange server. Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync
compares the changes you made on your device and PC or server, and updates both PC with the latest information.
For information on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on the PC.
You can switch to any of these programs by tapping them on the
menu.
