manage your e-mails.
Note Some messaging features depend on the Microsoft Exchange Server version used in your company. Please
check with your network administrator for the availability of these features.
Automatic synchronization through Direct Push
Direct Push technology (push e-mail feature) enables you to receive new e-mails on your device as soon as
they arrive in your Inbox on the Exchange Server. With this feature, items such as contacts, calendar and tasks
are also immediately updated onto your device when these items have been changed or new entries have
been added on the Exchange Server. To make Direct Push work, you need to have a data connection on your
device.
You need to perform a full synchronization between your device and the Exchange Server first before Direct
Push can be enabled.

8.5 E-mail Security
Windows Mobile protects your Outlook e-mails through Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension
(S/MIME), which allows you to digitally sign and encrypt your messages.
Digitally signing a message applies your certificate with the authorization key to the message. This proves to
the recipient that the message is from you and not from an impostor or a hacker, and that the message has
not been altered.
Encryption protects the privacy of your message by converting it from plain, readable text into cipher
(scrambled) text. Only the recipient who has the authorization key can decipher the message.
Requirement S/MIME encryption and digital signatures for Windows Mobile-based devices are available only with
Exchange Server 2003 SP2 or a later version that supports S/MIME. If your company is not using
one of these products, or you have not completed your first synchronization with the Exchange Server,
these options are unavailable.
Note You can encrypt a message with or without a certificate. However, to read an encrypted message, you need a
valid certificate to decrypt it.
94 Working With Company E-mail and Meeting Appointments
To individually sign and encrypt a new message
1. Tap Start > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.
2. Tap Menu > New to create a new message.
3. Tap Menu > Message Options.
4. From the Security list, select whether to encrypt only, sign the message only, or do both.
5. Tap OK.
To verify the digital signature on a signed message you receive
1. Open the Outlook e-mail message that has been digitally signed.
2. At the top of the message, tap View Signature Status.
3. Tap Menu > Check Certificate. To view the details of the certificate in the message, tap Menu > View
Certificate.
Note There can be several reasons why a digital signature is not valid. For example, the sender’s certificate may
have expired, it may have been revoked by the certificate authority, or the server that verifies the certificate is
unavailable. Contact the sender to report the problem.
To digitally sign and encrypt all messages
You can set up ActiveSync to digitally sign and encrypt all outgoing messages. You must obtain a valid
certificate to sign and encrypt e-mail messages successfully.
1. Tap Start > Programs > ActiveSync.
2. Tap Menu > Options.
3. Select the E-mail information type, and tap Settings. On the E-mail Sync Options screen, tap
Advanced.
4. Do one or both of the following:
• To sign all your outgoing e-mail messages so that recipients can be certain that the messages
were sent by you and have not been altered in any way, select the Sign all outgoing e-mail
messages check box.
• To encrypt all your outgoing e-mail messages so that the contents of your messages are protected
from being viewed by anyone other than the intended recipients, select the Encrypt all outgoing
e-mail messages check box.
5. Tap Choose Certificate to select a certicate for signing or encrypting outgoing e-mail messages.
You can select certicates to sign or encrypt e-mail messages individually if you do not choose to sign
or encrypt all outgoing e-mail. For information about signing and encrypting individual messages, see
“To individually sign and encrypt a new message.”
Working With Company E-mail and Meeting Appointments 95
Set Permissions on an E-mail Message
Another way of protecting your e-mail messages is to send messages with restricted permissions using
Information Rights Management (IRM).
Note This works only with a Microsoft Outlook e-mail account and if your company is using RMS Server SP1.
1. Tap Start > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.
2. Create a message, and then tap Menu > Message Options.
3. In Permissions, do one of the following:

• To prevent the message from being forwarded, printed, or copied, select Do not forward.
4. Tap OK.
Tip An IRM-protected message received on your device can only be replied to or forwarded if the message permits
it.

Federal Communications Commission Notice
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.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant
to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful
interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency
energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference
to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01-
309 modified the exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act)
to require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure
reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities.
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users
may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to
this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing device
users find phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones
that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the box.
152 Appendix
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss.
If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone
successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal
needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to
hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. NEON400 is
rated M3.
Please power off the Bluetooth function while using hearing aid devices with your NEON400.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may
help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference
noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered
acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for better use. A sum of 8 is considered for best use.
In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level
rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage”
while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage” in this context is defined as a
signal quality that is acceptable for normal operation.
The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark is intended to be synonymous
with the UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries
Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and
measurement procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.

RF signals may affect improperly installed or inadequately shielded electronic systems in motor vehicles.
Check with the manufacturer or its representative regarding your vehicle. You should also consult the
manufacturer of any equipment that has been added to your vehicle.
POSTED FACILITIES
Turn your device OFF where posted notices so require.
Turn Off Your Device Before Flying
AIRCRAFT
FCC regulations prohibit using the transmitting and phone functions of your device while in the air. In
addition, most airline regulations prohibit the on-board use of portable PCs (and all other portable electronic
devices that could potentially emit stray RF energy), particularly during take-offs and landings, to prevent any
possible interference with the reception of signals by airborne electronic navigational devices.
Appendix 157
Turn your device OFF before boarding an aircraft. Always request and obtain prior consent and approval of an
authorized airline representative before using your device aboard an aircraft. Always follow the instructions of
the airline representative whenever using your device aboard an aircraft, to prevent any possible interference
with airborne electronic equipment.
Turn Off Your Device in Dangerous Areas
BLASTING AREAS
To avoid interfering with blasting operations, turn your device OFF when in a “blasting area” or in areas posted
“Turn off two-way radio”. Obey all signs and instructions.
POTENTIALLY EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES
Turn your device OFF when in any area with a potentially explosive atmosphere and obey all signs and
instructions. Sparks in such areas could cause an explosion or fire resulting in bodily injury or even death.
Areas with a potentially explosive atmosphere are often, but not always, clearly marked. They include fueling
areas such as gas stations; below deck on boats; fuel or chemical transfer or storage facilities; vehicles using
liquefied petroleum gas (such as propane or butane); areas where the air contains chemicals or articles, such
as grain, dust, or metal powders; and any other area where you would normally be advised to turn off your
vehicle’s engine.
General Safety
Your pocket PC is a high quality piece of equipment. Before operating, read all instructions and cautionary
markings on the product, battery and adapter/charger.
Failure to follow the directions below could result in serious bodily injury and/or property damage due to
battery liquid leakage, fire or rupture.
DO NOT use or store this equipment in a place where it will be exposed to high temperatures, such as near an
open flame or heat-emitting equipment.
DO NOT drop your device or subject it to severe shock. When not using, lay down the unit to avoid possible
damage due to instability.
DO NOT expose this equipment to rain or spilled beverages.
DO NOT use unauthorized accessories.
DO NOT disassemble the device or its accessories. If service or repair is required, return unit to an authorized
cellular service center. If the unit is disassembled, the risk of electric shock or fire may result.
Never allow metallic objects, such as staples and paper clips, to get into the inside of your device.
Never touch the liquid that might leak from a broken liquid crystal display. Contact with this liquid could
cause a skin rash. If the crystal display liquid should come into contact with the skin or clothing, wash it
immediately with clean water.
In the event that the device emits an unusual odor or sound or generates smoke, immediately disconnect the
AC adapter from the power outlet, then detach the battery.
Antenna Safety
Use only the supplied or an approved replacement antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications, or
attachments could impair call quality, damage your device, or result in violation of FCC regulations. Please
contact your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Do not use the device 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.
158 Appendix
Battery Safety
Your device uses a removable and rechargeable lithium ion battery. Please contact customer service for
assistance should you need a replacement battery.
DOs
• Only use the battery and charger approved by the manufacturer.
• Only use the battery for its original purpose.
• Try to keep batteries in a temperature between 41°F (5°C) and 95°F (35°C).
• If the battery is stored in temperatures above or below the recommended range, give it time to warm
up or cool down before using.
• Completely drain the battery before recharging. It may take one to four days to completely drain.
• Store the discharged battery in a cool, dark, and dry place.
• Purchase a new battery when its operating time gradually decreases after fully charging.
• Properly dispose of the battery according to local regulations.
DON’Ts
• Don’t attempt to disassemble the battery – it is a sealed unit with no serviceable parts.
• Don’t expose the battery terminals to any other metal object (e.g., by carrying it in your pocket or purse
with other metallic objects such as coins, clips and pens). This can short circuit and critically damage
the battery.
• Don’t leave the battery in hot or cold temps. Otherwise, it could signicantly reduce the capacity and
lifetime of the battery.
• Don’t dispose of the battery into a re.
Lithium ion batteries are recyclable. When you replace the removable battery, please request the repair center
to recycle the battery in accordance with RBRC standards. When disposing of the battery by yourself, please
call RBRC at (800) 822-8837 for proper disposal tips.
Never touch any fluid that might leak from the built-in battery. Such liquid when in contact with the eyes or
skin, could cause injury to the skin or eyes. Should the liquid come into contact with the eyes, irrigate the
eyes thoroughly with clean water and immediately seek medical attention. In the event the liquid comes into
contact with the skin or clothing, wash it away immediately with clean water.
Adapter/Charger
Use the Correct External Power Source
A product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the electrical ratings label. If
you are not sure of the type of power source required, consult your authorized service provider or local power
company. For a product that operates from battery power or other sources, refer to the operating instructions
that are included with the product.
The AC Adapter/Charger designed for this unit requires the use of a standard 120 V AC power source for
device operation.
Never attempt to disassemble or repair an AC adapter/charger. Never use an AC adapter/charger if it has a
damaged or worn power cord or plug. Always contact an authorized service center, if repair or replacement is
required.
Never alter the AC cord or plug on an AC adapter/charger. If the plug will not fit into the available outlet, have
a proper outlet installed by a qualified electrician.
Appendix 159
Never allow any liquids or water to spill on an AC adapter/charger when it is connected to an AC power
source.
Always use the authorized AC adapter/charger to avoid any risk of bodily injury or damage to your cellular
phone or battery.
Never attempt to connect or disconnect the AC adapter/charger with wet hands. Always unplug the AC
adapter/charger from the power source before attempting any cleaning. Always use a soft cloth dampened
with water to clean the equipment, after it has been unplugged.
Handling the cord on this product or cords associated with accessories sold with this product, will expose you
to lead, a chemical known to the State of California to cause birth defects or other reproductive harm. Wash
hands after handling.
Always disconnect the travel charger or desktop charger from the power source when it is not in use.
