to connecting ports, and your voice, data, and other program usage
patterns.
Battery life estimates (approximations):
• Standby time: up to 200 hours for GSM; 180 ~ 250 hours for
UMTS.
• Talk time (Screen off): 4 ~ 5 hours for GSM; 2 ~ 4 hours for
UMTS.

• Do not attempt to open, disassemble, or service the battery pack.
• Do not crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose of in fire or
water.
• Do not expose to temperatures above 60oC (140oF).

Tips on using Smart Dialing
Smart Dialing starts looking for numbers or contacts that match the
sequence you have entered. Below are some tips on how to use Smart
Dialing to quickly find a desired phone number or contact.
To find a phone number
• Simply enter the first one or two digits to find a phone number in
Call History.
• Enter the first three digits or more if you want to find a phone
number from the saved contacts on your device and SIM card.
To find a contact name
You can just enter the first letter of a contact’s first name or surname.
Smart Dialing will search for the letter starting from the first character
of a contact name as well as from the character that appears after a
space, dash, or underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap
number “2” which is associated with [a, b, c] on the Phone keypad,
contact names such as the following will be considered matches: “Ben
Miller”, “George Adams”, “John-Carter”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”,
“Thomas_Clark”, “JaneCampbell”.
If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search
further, enter another letter. Using the same example above, if you
continue to tap “3” which is associated with [d, e, f], the matching list
will be narrowed down to the following names: “Ben Miller”, “George
Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”.
Make a call or send a text message using Smart

if your company or service provider is running Microsoft Exchange
Server with Exchange ActiveSync.
Specifically, you can use ActiveSync to:
• Synchronize information such as Outlook E-mail, Contacts,
Calendar, or Tasks information, as well as media files such as
pictures, video, and music between your device and your PC.
• Synchronize Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar appointments,
and Tasks on your device directly with Exchange Server so that
you can stay up-to-date even when your PC is turned off.
• Copy files between your device and your PC without
synchronizing.
• Select which types of information are synchronized and specify
how much information is synchronized. For example, you can
choose how many weeks of past Calendar appointments to
synchronize.
• Add and remove programs on your device. For details, see

5.6 Resetting Your Pocket PC Phone
Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A normal (or soft)
reset of your device clears all active program memory and shuts down
all active programs. This can be useful when your device is running
slower than normal, or a program is not performing properly. A soft
reset is also necessary after the installation of some programs. If a soft
reset is performed when programs are running, unsaved work will be
lost.
You can also perform a hard reset (also known as a full reset). A hard
reset should be performed only if a normal reset does not solve a
system problem. After a hard reset, the device is restored to its default
settings — the way it was when you first purchased it and turned it
on. Any programs you installed, data you entered, and settings you
customized on your device will be lost. Only Windows Mobile software
and other pre-installed programs will remain.
To perform a soft reset
• Use the stylus to lightly press and hold the RESET button on
the bottom of your device. Your device restarts and displays the
Today screen.

6.1 Connecting to the Internet
Your device is equipped with powerful networking functions that enable
you to connect to the Internet through Wi-Fi, GPRS (General Packet
Radio Service) or the mobile phone network
Connecting your device to the Internet through a private or free
wireless network is your best choice since this will not incur any cost.
Take note, however, that using Wi-Fi on your device will drain battery
power faster. For more information about setting up a Wi-Fi connection,

connection settings: ISP (Internet Service Provider) and WAP. The ISP
settings are used to connect to the Internet, while WAP settings can be
used to connect to any private, corporate network.
To set up a GPRS connection to the Internet
GPRS is a non-voice value-added service that allows information to
be sent and received across a mobile telephone network. You can use
GPRS to connect to the Internet or to send and receive MMS on your
device. You will be billed per KB (Kilobyte) by your wireless service
provider when you are sending or receiving information via GPRS.

6.4 Using Bluetooth
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology.
Devices with Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a
distance of about 10 meters without requiring a physical connection.
You can even beam information to a device in a different room, as long
as it is within the Bluetooth signal coverage range.
Bluetooth can be used in the following ways:
• Beam information, such as files, appointments, tasks, and contact
cards, between devices that have Bluetooth capabilities.
• Synchronize information between your device and computer via
Bluetooth.
• Use a Bluetooth-enabled headset (or other Bluetooth-enabled
hands-free device such as a car kit) with your device for hands-
free phone conversations.
• Use a Bluetooth service. Once you connect to another device
or computer using Bluetooth, you can locate and use any of the
services available on that device.
• Create a connection between your device and another Bluetooth-
enabled phone to use that phone as a modem.
Note Normally, you will need another phone as a modem only if your Pocket
PC device has no integrated phone capability.
Bluetooth modes
Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:
• On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other
Bluetooth-enabled devices, but not vice versa.
• Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send
nor receive information using Bluetooth. You might want to turn
the radio off at times in order to conserve battery power, or in
situations where radio use is prohibited, such as on board an
aircraft and in hospitals.
• Discoverable. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-
enabled devices within a range of 10 meters can detect your
device.
![](/img.php?id=716988&img=bg63.png)
