8.2 Working With Company E-mails
Your device gives you instant access to your company e-mails and lets
you manage your messages easier. Direct Push, Fetch Mail, Remote e-mail
search, and e-mail flags are just some of the tools you can use to manage
your e-mails.
Note
Some messaging features depend on the Microsoft Exchange Server version
used in your company. 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 GPRS/EDGE connection on your device.

164 Using GPS
11.1 Guidelines and Preparation for Using GPS
•
Do not operate the GPS system while driving. The plotted GPS route
is only for driving reference. It should not interfere with actual driving
behavior.
•
•
Please use the GPS system cautiously. Users shall be liable for any
damages resulting from negligent operation of the system.
The GPS signal cannot pass
External GPS antenna connector
through solid non-transparent
(at the back of the self-portrait mirror)
objects. Signal reception may be
affected by obstructions such
as high-rise buildings, tunnels,
bridges, forests, weather (rainy or
cloudy days), etc. If the vehicle’s
visor contains metal, it will be
difficult for the GPS signal to
pass through. For better signal
reception, connect your device to
an external GPS antenna.
•
•
Wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or radar-
detecting devices) may interfere with the satellite signal, resulting in
unstable signal reception.
The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated by the US
Defense Department. The Department is responsible for the accuracy
and maintenance of the system. Any changes that the Department
makes may affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.
•
Do not leave your device in a vehicle or expose the device to direct
sunlight to avoid overheating the battery, which could pose damage
to the device or risk to the vehicle.

Soft reset
Occasionally, you may need to reset your device. A soft (or normal) 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.

2. Use the stylus to press the RESET
button located below the battery
compartment.

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.
Warning! Your device will be set back to factory default settings. Make sure that
any additional installed programs and/or user data have been backed up

Safety precautions for RF exposure
•
Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories
that do not contain any metal.
•
Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate
your local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output
power is far below the international radio frequency exposure limits. 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 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 phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The standard
incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for
the public and to account for any variations in usage.
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 to come too
close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
Your device has an internal antenna. Use only the supplied integral antenna.
Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and
damage the phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding
the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance with local
regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF
energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always

Appendix 229
use your device only in its normal-use position. Do not touch or hold the
antenna area unnecessarily when placing or receiving a phone call. Contact
with the antenna area may impair call quality and cause your device to
operate at a higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the
antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance
and the battery life.
D=0.01058m is the minimum distance between the EUT and human body
to meet the E-field strength of 61V/m as required in Annex III table 2 of EC
Council Recommendation (1999/519/EC). This proves that the unit complies
with the EN50371 for RF exposure requirement.
Body-worn measurements were tested for typical body-worn operations
with the back of the device kept 1.5 cm from the body.
SAR Information
0.371 W/kg@10g (Head), 1.18 W/kg@10g (Body)

information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
•
Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
•
•
Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, turn the phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider,
or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.

230 Appendix
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn the phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
WEEE Notice
The Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which
entered into force as European law on 13th February 2003, resulted in a
major change in the treatment of electrical equipment at end-of-life.
The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE,
and in addition, to promote the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery
of such wastes so as to reduce disposal.
