1.3 Battery Information
Your device contains a rechargeable Li-ion polymer battery. Your
device is designed to use only manufacturer-specified original
batteries and accessories. Battery performance depends on
many factors, including your wireless service provider’s network
configuration, signal strength, the temperature of the environment
in which you operate your device, the features and/or settings you
select and use, items attached to your device’s connecting ports,
and your voice, data, and other program usage patterns.
Battery life estimates:
Talk-time: 2.5 – 5 hours
Warning: To reduce risk of fire or burns,
do not disassemble, crush, puncture,
short external contacts, heat above
60oC (140oF), or dispose of in fire or
water. Replace only with manufacturer
specified batteries. Recycle or dispose
of used batteries according to the local
regulations.
Install and Charge the Battery
New batteries are shipped partially charged. Before you can use
your device, you need to install and charge the battery. To install
the battery, slide the battery cover off, and then insert the battery
by aligning the exposed copper part of the battery pack with the
protruding copper conductor. Then, gently push the battery into
place and replace the battery cover.
Some batteries perform best after several full charge/discharge
cycles. The time needed to fully charge the battery is less than 4
hours. You can charge the battery by:
Connecting your device directly to an external power source.
Plugging the device sync cable into the USB port on your PC.

4.1 Using ActiveSync
ActiveSync synchronizes information on your PPC-6700 with
information on your PC, such as Outlook content. ActiveSync can
also synchronize over a wireless or cellular network with Microsoft
Exchange Server, if your company or service provider is running
Microsoft Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync. When you
synchronize, ActiveSync compares the information on your PPC-6700
with the information on your PC and/or Exchange Server and updates
all locations with the most recent information.
With ActiveSync, you can:
Synchronize data, such as Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar,
or Tasks information on your PPC-6700 with your PC, as well as
pictures, video, and music.
Synchronize Outlook E-mail, Contacts, Calendar appointments,
and Tasks on your PPC-6700 directly with Exchange Server so
that you can stay up to date even when your PC is turned off.
Exchange files between your PPC-6700 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.
Before you can synchronize information with a PC, you must first
install ActiveSync on your PC and create a synchronization relationship
between your PPC-6700 and the PC. You can install ActiveSync from the
Getting Started disc that comes with your device. ActiveSync is already
installed on your PPC-6700.
Once you have installed ActiveSync and set up a synchronization
relationship, ActiveSync on the PC recognizes your device when you
connect it, and automatically transfers the synchronization settings
you specified on your PPC-6700.
You may be able to synchronize your device with Exchange Server
through your company or wireless service provider. If you plan to do so,
obtain the name of the Exchange Server, your user name, password,
and domain name from your administrator before starting the Sync
Setup Wizard.
Section 4: Synchronizing and Setting Up E-mail Security
46
To install and set up ActiveSync:
1. Install ActiveSync on your PC. After Setup completes, the
Sync Setup Wizard automatically starts when you connect
your device to the PC.

can disconnect your PPC-6700 from your PC.
4.2 Synchronizing Information
When you connect your PPC-6700 to the PC using a USB cable, an
infrared connection, or a Bluetooth connection, ActiveSync will
immediately synchronize. While the device is connected, ActiveSync
synchronizes every time you make a change on either the PC or the
device.
Synchronize Outlook Information
If you have set up a synchronization relationship between your
PPC-6700 and the PC, synchronization keeps Outlook information
up-to-date in both your device and PC. ActiveSync synchronizes
a limited amount of information by default to save storage
space on your device. You can change the amount of information
synchronized for a given information type in Settings for the
information type.
Section 4: Synchronizing and Setting Up E-mail Security 47
You can set up your PPC-6700 to synchronize with more than
one PC or with a combination of one or more PCs and Exchange
Server. When synchronizing with multiple computers, the items
that you synchronize will appear on all of the computers with
which they are synchronized. For example, if you have set up
synchronization with two PCs (PC1 and PC2), which have different
items, and you synchronize Contacts and Calendar on the device
with both computers, the result is as follows:
Location
New state
All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that
were on PC2 are now also on PC1.
PC1
All Outlook contacts and calendar appointments that
were on PC1 are now also on PC2.
PC2

To receive e-mails and synchronize other information
instantly:
The 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 1XRTT or
EVDO dial-up connection on your device.
For the Direct Push feature to work for your device, your private
network (for example, your company’s network) must be using

Windows Mobile on your device protects your Outlook e-mails
through Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (S/MIME),
which allows you to digitally sign your messages as well as encrypt
them.
Using authorization keys and certificates, S/MIME allows you to
digitally sign your e-mail messages to prove your identity to the
recipients. Authorization keys are also used when encrypting
messages to improve privacy and prevent undue tampering or
hacking of your messages. You can encrypt a message with or
without a certificate. However, to read an encrypted message, you
need a valid certificate for decrypting e-mail messages.
S/MIME encryption and digital signatures for Windows
Mobile-based devices are available only with Exchange Server
Note: 2003 Service Pack 2 or a later version that supports S/MIME.
If you aren’t using one of these products, or have not yet
synchronized, these options are unavailable.
Digitally Sign and Encrypt All Messages
ActiveSync allows you to set up S/MIME e-mail encryption and
signing. You will have to obtain a valid certificate for signing or
encrypting e-mail before you will be able to sign or encrypt mail
successfully.

5.6 Resetting Your PPC-6700
Occasionally you may need to reset your PPC-6700. A normal (or
soft) reset of your PPC-6700 clears all active program memory and
shuts down all active programs. This can be useful when the 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 the 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 PPC-6700. The device restarts, and

Individually Sign and Encrypt a Message
Encrypting an Outlook e-mail message protects the privacy of the
message by converting it from plain, readable text into cipher
(scrambled) text. Only the recipient who has the authorization
key can decipher the message:
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 imposter or a
hacker, and that the message has not been altered.
To digitally sign and encrypt a new message:
1. In the message list, tap Menu > Switch Accounts >
Outlook E-mail.
2. Tap New.
3. Tap Menu > Message Options.
4. Select the Encrypt message and Sign message check
boxes, and tap OK.
106 Section 7: Exchanging Messages
Verify the Digital Signature on a Signed
Message You Receive

receive, do the following:
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.
There can be several reasons why a digital signature is not
valid. For example, the sender’s certificate may have expired,
Note: 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.

Manage Folders
Each Messaging account has its own folder hierarchy with five
default Messaging folders: Inbox, Outbox, Deleted Items, Drafts,
and Sent Items. The messages you receive and send through the
account are stored in these folders. You can also create additional
folders within each hierarchy. The Deleted Items folder contains
messages that have been deleted on the device. The behavior
of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends on the
Messaging options you have chosen.
If you use an Outlook E-mail account, e-mail messages in the
Inbox folder in Outlook will be synchronized automatically with
your PPC-6700. You can elect to synchronize additional folders
by designating them for synchronization. The folders you create
and the messages you move will then be mirrored on the e-mail
server. For example, if you move two messages from the Inbox
folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family
for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder
and copies the messages to that folder. You can then read the
messages while you are away from your PC.
If you use a text message account, messages are stored in the
Inbox folder. If you use a POP3 account and you move e-mail
messages to a folder you created, the link is broken between the
messages on the device and their copies on the e-mail server.
The next time you connect, the e-mail server will detect that the
messages are missing from the Inbox folder on the device and
will delete them from the e-mail server. This prevents having
duplicate copies of a message, but it also means that you will no
longer have access to messages that you move to folders created
from anywhere except the device.
If you use an IMAP4 account, the folders you create and the
e-mail messages you move are mirrored on the e-mail server.
Therefore, messages are available to you anytime you connect to
your e-mail server, whether it is from your PPC-6700 or PC. This
synchronization of folders occurs whenever you connect to your
e-mail server, create new folders, or rename/delete folders when
connected. You can also set different download options for each
folder.

About Licenses and Protected Files
Some content (such as digital media files downloaded from
the Internet, CD tracks, and videos) have associated licenses
that protect them from being unlawfully distributed or shared.
Licenses are created and managed by using digital rights
management (DRM), which is the technology for securing
content and managing its access rights. Some licenses may
prevent you from playing files that have been copied to your
PPC-6700. Files that have licenses associated with them are called
“protected files.”
If you want to copy a protected file from your PC to your device
use the desktop Player to synchronize the file to the device
(instead of dragging the file from a folder on your PC to a folder
on the device, for example). This will ensure that the license is
copied along with the protected file. For more information about
synchronizing files to your PPC-6700 and other mobile devices,
see desktop Player Help.
You can view the protection status for a file by checking its file
properties (tapping Menu > Properties).
Note:

Copy Files to Your PPC-6700
Use the latest version of the desktop Player (Windows Media Player
10 or later) to synchronize digital media files to your PPC-6700
(instead of dragging a file from a folder on your PC to a folder on
the device, for example). Using the desktop Player ensures that
licenses are copied with protected files.
When synchronizing files, always synchronize the files to a storage
card that is installed in the device. Do not synchronize to a storage
card that is inserted into a storage card reader. In addition, do not
synchronize to the internal storage location (RAM) in the device.
For more information about synchronizing files to mobile devices,

Using Your Phone With a Hearing Aid Device
Your PPC-6700 has been tested for hearing aid device compatibility.
When 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 ratings for some of
their mobile phones, to assist hearing device users in finding phones
that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones
have been rated. Phones that are rated will have the rating on the
box. Your PPC-6700 has an M3 rating.
Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and
may generate less interference to hearing devices than
phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of
Note:
the two ratings.
Appendix 157
The M3/M4 ratings do not guarantee successful interoperation
between your phone and hearing aid device. Results will vary
depending on the level of immunity of your hearing device and
degree of your hearing loss.
The more immune your hearing aid device is, the less likely you
are to experience interference noise from your wireless phone.
Hearing aid devices should have ratings similar to phones. Ask
your hearing healthcare professional for the rating of your aids.
Most new hearing aids have at least an M2 immunity level. Add
the “M”ratings of your hearing aid and your phone to determine
probable usability:
Any combined rating equal to or greater than six offers best use.
Any combined rating equal to five is considered normal use.
Any combined rating equal to four is considred usable.
Thus, if you pair an M3 hearing aid with an M3 phone, you will have
a combined rating of six for “best use.”
Sprint further suggests you experiment with multiple phones (even
those not labeled M3 or M4) while in the store to find the one that
works best with your hearing aid device. Should you experience
interference after purchasing your phone, promptly return it to the
store. With the Sprint® 14 Day Risk Free Guarantee you may return
the phone within 14 days of purchase for a full refund.
Getting the Best Hearing Device Experience With
Your Sprint PCS Phone
To further minimize interference:
There is usually less interference on the microphone setting than
the telecoil setting.
Set the phone’s Display and Keypad backlight settings to
ensure the minimum time interval.
Use phones with a pull-out antenna. Phones with embedded
antennae may produce more interference.
Position the phone so the antenna is farthest from your hearing
aid.
Move the phone around to find the point with least interference.

SAR Information
SAR: 1.098 W/kg @1g (USA)
THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless mobile CDMA phone is a radio transmitter and
receiver. It is designed and manufactured not to exceed the
emission limits for exposure to radio frequency (RF) energy
set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S.
Government. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general
population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies:
American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE.
C95.1-1992.
National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement
(NCRP). Report 86. 1986.
International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation
Protection (ICNIRP) 1996.
Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards
include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the
safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile CDMA phone employs
a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or
SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg*.
Appendix 161
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets
the FCC RF exposure guidelines when used with an accessory that
contains no metal and that position the antenna of the CDMA
phone a minimum of 1.5cm from the body. The SAR values of this
CDMA phone are 0.573 W/g (body) and 1.098 W/g (head). Use
of other accessories may not ensure compliance with the FCC RF
exposure guidelines.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model
device with all reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance
with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this
model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under the
Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after
searching on FCC ID: NM8PA10A. Additional information on
Specific Absorption Rates (SAR) can be found on the Cellular
Telecommunications & Internet Association (CTIA) website as
http://www.phonefacts.net.
* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile CDMA phone
used by the public is 1.6 Watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one
gram of tissue. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of
safety to give additional protection for the public and to account
for any variations in usage.
Normal condition only to ensure the radiative performance
and safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio
transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory
operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it
is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed

A.2 System Requirements forActiveSync 4.x
To connect your device to the PC, you must have Microsoft®
ActiveSync® installed on your PC. ActiveSync 4.x is included in the
Installation CD, which is compatible with the following operating
systems and applications:
Microsoft® Windows® 2000 Service Pack 4
Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 Service Pack 1
Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 IA64 Edition Service Pack 1
Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 x64 Edition Service Pack 1
Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional Service Packs 1 and 2
Microsoft® Windows® XP Home Service Packs 1 and 2
Microsoft® Windows® XP Tablet PC Edition 2005
Microsoft® Windows® XP Media Center Edition 2005
Microsoft® Windows® XP Professional x64 Edition
Microsoft® Outlook® 98, Microsoft® Outlook® 2000 and
Microsoft® Outlook® XP, and Microsoft® Outlook® 2003
messaging and collaboration clients
Microsoft® Office 97, excluding Outlook
Microsoft® Office 2000
Microsoft® Office XP
Microsoft® Office 2003
Microsoft® Internet Explorer 4.01 or later (required)
Microsoft® Systems Management Server 2.0
Some users of ActiveSync® 4.0 have reported challenges when
using the USB connection of their personal computer to connect
to a device with Windows Mobile 5.0. In many cases, these
challenges are likely caused by interoperability with desktop
firewall applications or applications that manage network traffic.
These applications appear to conflict with the TCP traffic between
a device and the PC.
An update for ActiveSync is scheduled to be available in late
November, but customers may also resolve the issue manually
immediately by visiting :
www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/activesync4.
This issue only affects people with new devices just coming to
market and running Windows Mobile 5.0 software, and only
when synchronizing directly to a PC when using a USB connection
(wireless synchronization via Bluetooth, infra-red or directly to a
server or other services are not affected).
