Managing email messages and folders
By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service you have
created—Deleted Items, Drafts, Inbox, Outbox, and Sent Items.
• The behavior of the Deleted and Sent Items folders depends on the options
you have chosen. To set these options, in the message list:
(a) Tap Menu, Tools, then Options.
(b) On the Message tab, select your options.
• If you want to organize messages into additional folders, tap Menu, Tools,
then Manage Folders to create new folders.
• To move a message to another folder, in the message list, tap and hold the
message, then tap Move on the pop-up menu.
Folder behavior with a direct connection to an email server:
The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you are using ActiveSync,
Text Messages, POP3, or IMAP4 account.
• If you use ActiveSync, email messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook
automatically synchronize with your device. You can select to synchronize
additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create
and the messages you move are then 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 computer.
• If you use Text Messages, messages are stored in the Text Messages’ Inbox
folder.
• If you use POP3 and you move email messages to a folder you created, the
link is broken between the messages on your device and their copies on the
email server. The next time you connect, the email server sees that the
messages are missing from the device’s 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 move
to folders created from anywhere except your device.
• If you use IMAP4, the folders you create and the email messages you move
are mirrored on the server. Therefore, messages are available to you
anytime you connect to your email server, whether it is from your device or
from your computer. This synchronization of folders occurs whenever you
connect to your mail server, create new folders or rename/delete folders
when connected.

AirBEAM Smart
The AirBEAM Smart product allows specially designed software packages to be
transferred between a host server and Symbol wireless handheld devices. Before
transfer, AirBEAM Smart checks and compares package version, so that only updated
packages are loaded.
AirBEAM Smart resides on radio-equipped client devices and allows them to request,
download and install software, as well as to upload files and status data. Both download
and upload of files can be accomplished in a single communications session. The ability
to transfer software over a radio network can greatly reduce the logistical efforts of client
software management.
In an AirBEAM Smart system, a network-accessible host server acts as the storage point
for the software transfer. The AirBEAM Smart Client uses the industry standard FTP or
TFTP file transfer protocols to check the host system for updates and, if necessary, to
transfer updated software.
NOTE: For more detailed information about AirBEAM, refer efer to the AirBEAM® Smart Windows®
CE Client Product Reference Guide (p/n 72-63060-xx).
AirBEAM Package Builder
In a typical distributed AirBEAM system, software to be transferred is organized into
packages. In general, an AirBEAM package is simply a set of files that are assigned
attributes both as an entire package and as individual component files. The package is
assigned a version number and the transfer occurs when an updated version is available.
An AirBEAM package can optionally contain developer-specified logic to be used to
install the package. Installation logic is typically used to update client device flash images
or radio firmware. Examples of common AirBEAM packages would include packages for
custom client application software, radio firmware and AirBEAM Smart Client software.
Once these packages are built, they are installed on the host server for retrieval by the
handheld device. The AirBEAM Package Builder is a utility used to define, generate and
install AirBEAM packages to a server. The packages are then loaded from the server
onto a client device equipped with an AirBEAM Smart Client executable.
For detailed instructions on how to define, generate and install AirBEAM packages to the
server, refer to the AirBEAM Package Builder Product Reference Guide, p/n 72-55769-
xx.
AirBEAM Smart Client
The AirBEAM Smart Client is installed on the handheld vehicle computer. It is configured
with the server access information, the names of the packages to be downloaded and
other controlling parameters. When the AirBEAM Smart Client is launched, the device

AirBEAM Staging
The AirBEAM Smart staging support is intended to speed up and simplify the process of
staging custom or updated operating software onto mobile devices directly from
manufacturing. The staging support is part of the AirBEAM Smart CE Client that is
integrated into the vehicle computer.
The AirBEAM Smart support works by defaulting the AirBEAM Client configuration to a
known set of values and launching the AirBEAM Smart package download logic. A
staging environment, including an RF network, FTP server and AirBEAM packages must
be setup. Ideally a staging network and server should be setup to match the default
AirBEAM Staging client configuration.
The AirBEAM Smart staging utility is invoked from the Application directory (tap ,
Programs, File Explorer> My Device icon > Windows).
The AirBEAM Staging support provides several benefits:
• Many devices can be simultaneously loaded over the RF network.
• The AirBEAM staging utility provides a simple single dialog user interface
that is used to quickly start the software installation process.

Rapid Deployment Client
Rapid Deployment Client
The Rapid Deployment (RD) Client facilitates software downloads to a wearable terminal
from a Mobility Services Platform (MSP) Console’s FTP server. The MSP Console is a
web-based interface to the wireless infrastructure monitoring and management tools
provided by the MSP Lite or MSP Enterprise server.
When software packages are transferred to the FTP server, the wearable terminal on the
wireless network can download them to the wearable terminal. The location of software
packages are encoded in RD bar codes. When the wearable terminal scans a bar
code(s), the software package(s) is downloaded from the FTP server to the wearable
terminal. A single RD bar code can be scanned by multiple wearable teminals.
NOTE: For detailed information about the MSP Console, MSP Lite/MSP Enterprise servers and
creating RD bar codes, refer to the MSP User Guide.

13 Safety Information
This chapter contains contact information on safety instructions as well as related safety
notices.
Safety information
• Always contact an authorized service center, if repair or replacement is
required.
• If the plug will not fit into the available outlet, have a proper outlet installed by
a qualified electrician. Improper connection can result in the risk of electric
shock.
• Never allow the AC adapter to come into contact with water or any other
liquid. Water or any other liquid in contact with the AC adapter can create a
risk of fire or electric shock.
• Always use an authorized AC adapter to avoid any risk of fire or damage to
your device or battery.
• Bodily injury or property damage may occur as a result of the use of an
unauthorized and incompatible AC adapter.
• Never use an AC adapter if it has a damaged or worn power cord or plug.
The use of damaged or worn power cords or plugs could result in electric
shock, burns or fire. Contact an authorized service center immediately to
obtain a suitable replacement.
• Never attempt to connect or disconnect the power plug with damp or wet
hands. Connecting or disconnecting the power plug with damp or wet hands
could result in an electric shock.
• Always unplug the AC adapter from the power source before attempting any
cleaning in order to avoid the risk of electric shock. Always use a soft dry
cloth to clean the equipment, after it has been unplugged.
• Never attempt to use an unauthorized AC adapter with your device in order
to avoid any risk of bodily injury or property damage. Since unauthorized
accessories have different specifications, they may be incompatible with
your device.
• Always locate the power supply cable in an area where it will not be stepped
on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected to damage or stress.
• Never place heavy objects on the power supply cable, as this could result in
damage to the cable.
• Never bend or twist a power supply cable, and never pull it in an attempt to
remove the AC adapter or accessory plug from a socket. Always grasp the
AC adapter or the accessory plug directly when unplugging the power supply
cable in order to avoid damaging the cable.
• Always ensure the power plug pins are clean and free of dust or other
foreign material by wiping the pins with a clean dry cloth. Dust or other
foreign material accumulation on the power plug pins could cause fire.
• Be certain to insert the power plug deeply into a socket. Failure to do so
could cause a fire and an electric shock.
• Always disconnect the AC adapter from the power source when it is not in
use.
• Never place an AC adapter on a wooden surface (or any other surface that
could be marred by exposure to heat) while it is in use. Since the surface
temperature of the AC adapter increases during normal use, always rest it
on a suitable heat-insulating material.
• Never cover the AC adapter with any object while it is in use, and never
place it adjacent to a heat source. An excessive temperature increase could

FCC IMPOTANT SAR INFORMATION
Your wireless phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and
manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency
(RF) energy set by the FCC of USA. 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 SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6 W/kg. *
Tests for SAR are conducted with the phone transmitting at its highest certified
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the
highest certified power level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can
be well below the maximum value. This is because the phone is designed to
operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the power required to reach the
network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the
lower the power output.
Before a phone model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and
certified to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government
adopted requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and
locations (e.g., at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each
model. The highest SAR value for this model phone when tested for use at the ear
is 0.545 W/Kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is
0.844 W/Kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among phone models, depending
upon available accessories and FCC requirements). While there may be
differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions,
they all meet the government requirement for safe exposure.
* In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile phones used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in measurements.
Use only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas,
modifications, or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or
result in violation of FCC regulations. Do not use the phone with a damaged
antenna. If a damaged antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may
result. Please contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
This transmitter can only be co-located or operating in conjunction with Symbol
approved devices.
This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the
following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and
(2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that
may cause undesired operation.
Warning:
This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B
digital device pursuant to Part 15 of the Federal Communications Commissions
Rules and Regulations. These limits are designed to provide reasonable
protection against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a
commercial environment. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction
manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there
is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
Page 51
If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception,
which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is
encouraged to try and correct the interference by one or more of the following
measures:
. Relocate this device
. Increase the separation between the device and the receiver
. Connect the device into an outlet on a circuit different from that of other
electronics. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio technician for help.
FCC Radiation Exposure Statement
Important Note: To comply with FCC RF exposure compliance
requirement, the antenna used for this transmitter can only be co-located
with Symbol approved devices.
Caution:
Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this
equipment.
