Battery Charger

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, 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 can lose more power than you gain.

1 Attach the batter y charger to your device.

Locate the battery charger that came in the box with your device. Insert the charger’s USB lead (plug) into your device’s USB port. 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. Note that if your device has discharged completely, it may take up to 15 minutes before you see any indication of charging on the screen.

-14-

2 Let the device char ge for at least four (4) hours.

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.

For efficient operation, charge your device nightly. If you



plan to leave your device unattended for an extended period of time, be aware that the battery will discharge after two days if it is turned on and not attached to the charger. If your device does fully discharge, simply attach it to the charger to recharge.

Removable Battery

To replace your rechargeable battery, or if you need to insert or remove your SIM card, first you will need to remove the installed battery. Begin by powering down your device:

1 Press and hold the power button three seconds to power

down.

2 Turn the device over. With the camera at the top, slide the

cover to the right by carefully pressing the raised line on the cover with your left thumb. Lift the cover to remove it.

RAISED LINE

-15-

3 Push the battery in slightly along the bottom edge, then lift

the battery from that same edge to remove it.

4 Replace with a new battery by first inserting the top notched

edge (with the gold contacts) and then pushing the battery down to lock into place.

5 Replace the cover. Once the battery makes contact, the

power-on sequence begins.

SIM Card Slot

To access your SIM card, you must first remove the battery.

1 Remove the battery cover and battery by following

“Removable Battery”, steps 1-3, on page 1

2 Notice the SIM card slot, which is shaped like a SIM card and

is located just to the right of center.

3 To insert the SIM card, slide the card into the slot with the

gold contacts facing down and the notched corner at the upper right. Be sure the two side brackets are on top of the card, holding the card in place.

-16-

To remove the SIM card, insert your nail or paper clip into the notch to the left of the card in order to move the card slightly to the right. Then gently use your finger to slide the card to the right and free of the two brackets. Lift the card to remove it.

Memory Card Slot

Your device comes with a Micro Secure Digital (microSD™) flash memory card. To insert or remove the memory card, you must first remove the back cover as described in “Removable Battery”, step 2, on page 1

1 With the back cover removed and the camera at the top, you

can see the memory card slot on the right edge of the device.

2 To insert the memory card, hold the card with the gold

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

3 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.

-17-

USB / Power Port

The USB/power port is located on the top left edge of your device. With a flash memor y card installed, you can manage the contents of the card by connecting a USB cable to the device and your computer.

The memory card will appear as a drive on your computer, and you will be able to add or remove music or image files using your computer’s file system. Remember that you cannot transfer files unless you have first installed a memory card. For instructions on installing, read “Memory Card Slot” on page 1

While your device is connected to your computer via the



USB port, the memory card contents are not available for playing music or viewing photos from your device.

Before you can start using your Sidekick, you must complete registration. This section of the guide takes you through registration in more detail. Note that these instructions are for new users, not returning users. Returning users can sign in using their username/password.

1 Wait for account activation.

Before you can use your account, your account must be activated. This can take up to 48 hours, but usually takes only 1-3 hours. While you wait, step through the screens that appear.

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.

-19-

n Usernames are not case-sensitive. For example, if your

upper or lowercase letters. Once you decide on a username, type it in the text box, then select

Next.

4 Select a password.

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 (%).

For enhanced security, do not choose an actual word that appears in any language dictionary. Do 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.

-20-

5 Select your time zone.

Open the pop-up menu to see a list of time zones. Select yours from the list, then select

Next.

6 Select a “secret question” and type your answer.

If you ever forget your password, for security purposes, T-Mobile Customer Care will ask you to provide an answer to the “secret question” you select on this screen. Press the trackball to open the

Question pop-up menu, scroll to

highlight a question, then press the trackball to select it.

Roll the trackball down to highlight the type your answer. When finished, select

Answer field, then

Next to continue.

7 Read and agree to the end-user license agreement.

Before you can finish registration, you must read and agree to the end-user license agreement. You can read it by selecting the on-screen

View Agreement link or from the Desktop Interface. Once you read the end-user agreement, select the Next button to indicate your acceptance and transmit your registration data.

8 Wait while data transmits.
