G83: SEVERAL WAYS TO MAKE THE MOST OF IT

With the G83 you can enjoy features beyond the normal use of a phone, limited to SMS messages or calls.

The quality of sound has been greatly improved with the introduction of the polyphonic ringtones.

The G83 allows you to send and receive e-mail and MMS; with the IrDA connection or the optional data cable you can send and receive ringtones, images, vCalendar and vCard.

What is a vCard? it’s a standard format for a business card, conceived for the exchange of personal informations (PDI, Personal Data Interchange) between different devices (websites, e-mail, mobile phones, PDA (Personal Data Assistant).

With a vCard, besides your name and surname, you can also send and receive many other useful informations: addresses (home, office, etc.), phone numbers (mobile, home, office, fax...), URL of your website, e-mail addresses, and even images and sounds)

What is a vCalendar? Similarly to vCard, vCalendar allows you to exchange informations about task and appointments you saved in your calendar, or about your to do list (to do: a memo you make to remember a task, for example “bring the car to the garage”).

Connecting your G83 to a personal computer via the data cable, you ‘ll be able to:

• edit and modify the phonebook

• write, send and save into your pc

• manage your vCard and vCalendar

• send to the pc the pics you took with the phone, or, vice versa, send new images to your phone

• manage the voice memo feature

• edit and modify the connection parameters of the phone

• manage the Java applets (see “Java” on page 30)

In order to connect a G83 to a Personal Computer using the data cable, the MsSync application must be installed on it.

You can download MsSync, free of charge, from Telit website, www.telit.net

INSTALLING THE SIM CARD

In order to activate the phone on a GSM network, you must use a valid “plugin" (small) format SIM card. The SIM card is available through your network operator or service provider.

• Turn OFF the phone

• Press the chromium-plated button on the bottom of the phone and remove

the rear cover, lifting the bottom side.

• Looking at the rear side of the phone, the SIM slot is on the left, as shown in

the image below. Insert the SIM card with the cutted edge in the upper right.

• Put the cover back, by laying the upper side first, just below the CCD

window, then push the bottom side till the chromium-plated button is fastened.

CHARGING THE BATTERY

This cell phone is powered by a rechargeable Lithium battery.

Lithium batteries are not subject to the so-called "memory-effect" (progressive loss of energy efficiency if incorrectly charged); you can connect the phone to the charger anytime, irrespective of the level of in the battery.

•Charge the unit only when the battery is installed

•Use only original Telit batteries and battery chargers.

How to charge the battery

• Connect the charger lead to the plug on the bottom of the phone assuring it

is completely inserted - the arrow on the charger connector should be on the same side as the keypad; finally, plug the charger into a wall outlet.

• If the level of the battery is too low, a small time lag may occur before

the recharge begins; in case, wait a little bit longer.

• If the unit is turned off, the LED (light-emitting diode) in the upper right-hand

corner of the screen will light up;

steady red LED: charging steady green LED: charging completed blinking red LED: problems encountered while charging; unplug the

batterycharger from the wall outlet and from the phone, then retry. If the problem persists, contact the nearer after-sales service. an animation on the display shows that the unit is recharging

• You can charge the battery while the phone is turned on; the operation will

take longer to complete.

• for the battery to charge properly, the temperature must be between 0°C

and +45°C.

PIM mode

If you turn ON the phone holding the button down till the phone starts vibrating, you will access the "PIM MODE". In this mode all the mobile phone's transmission functions are deactivated; the unit cannot receive or transmit any information. This lets you use it in situations where cell phones might be a problem. Features like Organizer, Games, Phonebook, and Camera work normally, and are actually faster in this mode because the microprocessor is freed from managing transmission functions. To use the phone in PIM MODE you need no SIM card To reactivate the functions you temporarily disabled while using the PIM MODE, turn the unit OFF and then ON again normally.

IMPORTANT WARNINGS

GETTING STARTED AND BASIC FEATURES

To turn the phone on, after installing a SIM card and a charged battery, press

Press the same button for a second to turn OFF the phone.

Once turned ON (if requested, enter the PIN access code and reconfirm by

pressing ), the unit goes into stand-by. If you are in an area with service coverage, the cell phone will pick up the

network signal of your SIM card operator. When abroad, it will connect to the network of the service provider that your operator has ROAMING agreements with. This lets you take advantage of phone services even when you are in another country.

If you are in an area with no service coverage, the phone will be unable to place or receive data.
