Network Services
Network Services
To use your Toshiba phone you must have service from a wireless service provider. Many of the features in your Toshiba phone depend on features in the wireless network to function. These Network Services may not be available on all networks or you may have to make specific arrangements with your service provider before you can utilise Network Services. Your service provider may need to give you additional instructions for their use and explain what charges will apply. Some networks may have limitations that affect how you can use Network Services. For instance, some networks may not support all language-dependent
Network Services
characters and services.
This phone is a 3GPP GSM Release 99 terminal supporting GPRS service, and is designed to support also Release 97 GPRS networks. However, there may be some compatibility issues when used in some Release 97 GPRS networks. For more information, contact your service provider.
The availability of particular products may vary by region. Please check with the dealer nearest to you.

Care and maintenance
You can greatly enhance the life span of your Toshiba phone, and the parts and accessories, by following the suggestions below.
TIP: Maintaining your Toshiba phone, and the parts and accessories, in a good condition will help you fulfil the warranty obligations.
Care and maintenance
• K e ep y o u r T o s h ib a p h on e a n d al l t h e p a r t s a n d accessories out of the reach of small children or pets.
• Keep your Toshiba phone dry, as moisture of any kind can contain minerals that will corrode the electronic circuits. The manufacturer's warranty may become invalid if our phone or battery were to get wet due to misuse.
• Do not use or store your Toshiba phone in dusty or dirty locations as the moving parts of the phone can be damaged.
• Do not use or store your Toshiba phone in hot areas. High temperatures will shorten the life span of the phone, damage the battery or warp/ melt internal circuits.
• Do not store your Toshiba phone in cold areas. A big difference between room temperature and
14
the temperature in the phone can cause condensation to form inside the phone, causing damage to the electronic circuits.
• Do not keep your Toshiba phone in, or near, heat sources such as a radiator or microwave oven ­this can cause the battery inside the phone to overheat and explode.
• Do not open your Toshiba phone unless absolutely necessary.
• Do not mishandle or abuse your Toshiba phone. Dropping the phone, knocking or shaking it can damage the internal circuits.
• Do not use harsh chemicals, strong detergents, or cleaning solvents to clean your Toshiba phone. Use a soft, clean, dry, lint-free cloth to clean the phone.
• Do not use water to clean the LCD screen.
• Do not apply paint or other such substances to your Toshiba phone.
• If your Toshiba phone, or any of the accessories, are not working as they should, please consult your dealer who can provide you with t h e e x p e r t assistance you require.
• Do not use excessive volume levels when using headphones.
Care and maintenance
• If your Toshiba phone has a flash unit, do not operate the flash too close to a person’s eyes ­this may cause damage to their eyes.
• Interference may affect the performance of your Toshiba phone. This is normal and the phone should operate as usual once you move away from the source of the interference.
• Do not attempt to disassemble your Toshiba phone. Only Toshiba authorised personnel should service the phone.
Restarting your Toshiba phone
1. Remove the battery (see Getting started
section for instructions).
2. Re-insert the battery and turn your Toshiba
phone on (see Getting started section for instructions).
IMPORTANT: If you restart your Toshiba phone while a program is running, data that you have not saved will be lost.
Hard resetting your Toshiba phone
You should only use this procedure as a last resort. If you are experiencing a problem with an application, it is most likely ta result of a conflict between installed programs. We recommend un­installing the most recently added program first. Also verify that the program is des igne d to b e run on your Toshiba phone by comparing the requirements to the information provided with your phone - select Start > Settings > More... > About to view this information.
NOTE: Hard resetting your phone will delete all your applications. You will also lose all
n
personal data such as music, ringtones and pictures. You are advised to back up all your data before hard resetting your phone.
To hard reset your phone:
1. Select Start > Settings > More... > Format User Partition.
2. Follow the on-screen instructions to reset your phone.
3. Your phone will restart after it has been reset.

1. Save your current data.
2. Synchronize with your PC to charge the battery.
3. Turn your Toshiba phone off.

Synchronizing
ActiveSync allows you to create a synchronization relationship between your Toshiba phone and PC, and between your Toshiba phone and your Exchange server. This means that the shared data is always consistent. If you make a change, it is automatically made to the corresponding information on the other computer. This is an effective way of keeping your data up-to-date.
You can connect to your PC using the USB cable or Bluetooth connection. You can also use ActiveSync to connect your Toshiba phone to other resources through your PC. However, you cannot synchronize remotely to a PC using a modem or network connection. The synchronization relationship is created to manage the data that is copied between your Toshiba phone and PC.
