Your T-Mobile Account
Before you can use your device, your T-Mobile account must be completely set up. Account setup involves the
following steps:
1 Obtain a telephone number.
When you purchased your device, a T-Mobile representative assigned you a telephone number, which is
stored on your device’s Subscriber Identification Module, or “SIM” for short. (Read more in
About Your Smart
Card
on page 22.) This step you’ve already completed.
2 Wait for account activation.
T-Mobile must activate your device on the network. This can take up to 48 hours after you purchase your
device. You will know your T-Mobile account is activated when you see a “Welcome to Registration” screen on
your device display.
3 Register a username and password.
After you see the “Welcome to Registration” screen on your device, follow the prompts to select a username
and password. You will use your phone number and this password to sign in and out of the Web version of
the applications, and you may occasionally be prompted to enter this information on the device as well.
When selecting a username and password, note the following:
-Usernames - Must start with an alphabetic character (A-Z), can include numbers, can include
underscores but no other punctuation, and must be two or more characters in length. If your preferred
username is already taken, the T-Mobile service will provide you with alternate suggestions. You can
either pick one of these or try another one of your choice. Note that usernames are not case-sensitive.
-Passwords - Must contain at least six characters and include both letters and numbers. You will be
asked to type your password twice for confirmation. Note that your password appears on the screen as
asterisks (*) to ensure privacy. Select a password that is not a word, is difficult to guess, but one that
you can remember. Passwords
are
case-sensitive. If you forget your password at some time in the
future, contact T-Mobile Customer Care at 1-800-937-8997.
Secret Question - You will also be asked to select a “secret question” and type the answer. Questions are
similar to these:
- What is your mother's maiden name?
- What is your favorite pet's name?
- What is the last name of your favorite teacher?
- What is your favorite movie?
If you ever forget your password, you will be asked to answer this question your password is “reset” by
Customer Care.
Powering Your Device
Your device comes with a built-in rechargeable lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery. Before you can begin using your
device you must charge the battery. Note that you cannot access or remove the battery from your device.
Read the following topics for more information about your device’s battery:

Charging Your Device’s Battery
To charge the battery, do the following:
1 Attach the power adapter to your device.
Locate the power adapter that came with your device. Insert the charger lead (the small round end of the
adapter) into your device’s charging outlet (the small round hold located at the top of your device) and plug
the adapter cord into a standard 120V AC electrical wall outlet.
2 Let the device charge for at least four (4) hours.
Rest the device in a safe place and let the batteries charge for at least four hours, or overnight. As the device
is charging, you will see a charge indicator ( ) blinking over the battery icon the upper-right corner of
the device display. When fully charged, the charge indicator will stop blinking. You’re ready to go!
Battery Charging Time
Initial charging time for your device’s lithium ion battery is approximately four hours. Recharging time is the
same, depending on how discharged the battery has become.
UseandStandbyTimes
With a fully-charged battery, you can use your device for one day. In power-saving (or sleep) mode, the battery
should last seven days. These times are approximate however; battery operation times vary according to how
you use your device, signal conditions, and other network settings made by T-Mobile.
Conserving Power
Your device has a power-saving feature that automatically reduces power to the device after 10 minutes of
inactivity. This is also referred to as “sleep mode”. In sleep mode your device will still receive messages and calls.
To wake the device, simply press any two control keys simultaneously or open the display lid.
If you have set a device security code, as described in
Turn On/Off Privacy Lock
on page 31, you will be
prompted to enter your three-digit security code before the device will “wake up”. This power-saving feature
conserves battery power, as well as provides security when used in conjunction with the device security feature.

Keyboard
Your device keyboard contains five rows of keys, including a key for the “at” symbol (@) and a Directional pad
(“D-pad”) that “rocks” into eight different directions or positions.
The topics below describe the keyboard in more detail.
Directional Pad (D-pad)
The D-pad is the round navigational device in the lower-right corner of the keypad that you can “rock” in eight
directions: up, down, left, right, plus the 4 corners (northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast), which you
use by pressing two adjacent keys at the same time. You use the D-pad to navigate while playing games and to
navigate within
text boxes
. A text box is an area on the screen in which you can type characters. Here’s a few
examples of text boxes:
• To, From, Subject fields in an email, IM, or Text Messages message
• Go To pane in the Web Browser
• Luggage Tag in Control Panels > Security screen

February 12, 2002 T-Mobile Device Owner’s Manual 17
Press the up/down and left/right arrows to move in those directions among characters in a text box. Press the
corners of the D-pad (two adjacent arrows at the same time) to jump up/down one line and forward/backward
a character. Read more in
Typing Text
on page 21.
ALT Key
You type special characters (shown in red on some of the keys) by first pressing the ALT key, then the key
showing the special character. For example, if you need to type a semicolon (;), you would first press the ALT
key, then the J key. (This action is also represented in the user documentation as ALT+J.)
•Lock the ALT key to type a series of special characters by pressing the key twice.
•Unlock the ALT key by pressing it once again.
Note! You can also lock the Shift key by pressing it twice. Unlock by pressing once again.
@Key
When you type an email address, you use the “at” symbol (@) to separate the username from the domain; for
example, username@domain.com. Use the @ key (located in the bottom row of keys) to insert the @ symbol in
an email address easily.
On/Off Button
Power off the device to conserve the maximum amount of power. While the power is off, your device will not
receive messages or phone calls. Incoming calls are forwarded to voice mail.
To power your device on and off, use the On/Off button. It is located just to the left of the “Z” key on the
keyboard.
Control Buttons
A T-Mobile Device comes with four main control buttons, which you can still use when the display lid is in the
closed position, as shown below:

Menu Button
The Menu button is located in the upper-left corner of the device and is marked by a diamond. When you see the
diamond on the device screen or in the documentation, this refers to the Menu button. Use the Menu button
to do the following:
• Press once to open a drop-down menu listing actions you can take from the current screen.
• Press again to close the drop-down menu.
• Press in combination with a shortcut key to perform an action. There are two types of shortcut keys:
-User-definable - Read more in
Jump Shortcuts
on page 28.
- System-defined - You’ll find the system-defined shortcuts listed in the menus to the right of a given
option. For example, in the Email application, the shortcut for composing a new message is +N.
About Context Menus - The options that appear in any given menu are dependent on what screen you are
viewing. These types of menus are often referred to as “context menus”. For example, if you are viewing the
main screen of the Email application, the menu will list options such as “New Message” and “Check for New
Email”. However, if you are viewing the main screen in the Address Book, the menu will list options such as “New
Contact”, “Sort...”, and “My Info”. So the items that appear depend on the “context” (or screen) you are in when
you open the menu.
Jump Button
The Jump button is located in the lower-left corner of the device and is marked by a circle. When you see the
circle on the device screen or in the documentation, this refers to the Jump button. Use the Jump button to
open the Jump screen. No matter where you are in the applications--what screen you are viewing--if you press
the Jump button, you’ll return to the Jump screen. In the example below, the Jump screen shows the Telephone
application highlighted:

3. About Your Smart Card
If you are unfamiliar with Smart Cards or SIM cards, you might be interested to learn more by reading the
following questions and answers:
• What Is a Smart Card?
on page 22
• Exactly What Information Is on My Device SIM?
on page 22
• Can I Remove My SIM?
on page 22
• How Do I Handle My SIM?

• What Happens If I Put A Different SIM in My Device?
on page 23
What Is a Smart Card?
A Smart Card is the size of a credit card and contains a SIM card, which is an acronym that stands for Subscriber
Identification Module. A SIM is a small card that fits into a slot within your device. The card contains a chip that
holds information required to operate a device.
Exactly What Information Is on My Device SIM?
Your device SIM stores the following information:
•International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) Number - Number that uniquely identifies you as a
subscriber on the network. The number is made up of three parts: a three-digit mobile country code, a
two-digit mobile network code, and a (up to) 10-digit mobile subscriber identify number.
•Mobile Subscriber ISDN (MSISDN) Number - Your mobile telephone number. (ISDN stands for
Integrated Services Digital Network.)
•SIM Lock Code - A Personal Identification Number (PIN) that you set using the Control Panels > Security
screen. This code protects your SIM from being used by another person in another device in the event it is
lost or stolen.
•SMS Messages - Short Message Service messages that you receive and save. T-Mobile Text Messages
messages use the Short Message Service.
Can I Remove My SIM?
Yes, you can; but we recommend you never remove the SIM from your device. Without a SIM card, you can only
place phone calls to 611 (T-Mobile Customer Care) and 911 (Emergency). You can also view data that has been
cached in the device memory.
If you find you must remove your SIM, please follow the directions that follow.

About Your Smart Card
February 12, 2002 T-Mobile Device Owner’s Manual 23
To Remove Your SIM...
1Your SIM card fits into a slot on the left side of your device behind the end cap:
Remove the end cap using your fingernail or a coin.
2You will see the SIM card in its slot; press the end of the SIM in toward the device and release. The SIM
should spring gently out of its slot.
3Remove the SIM carefully. Be sure to read
How Do I Handle My SIM?
on page 23.
4Replace the end cap by pressing the prongs in slightly and inserting the cap. Make sure the cap is flush with
the case.
To Insert Your SIM...
1Remove the end cap covering the SIM slot.
2Press the SIM into its slot with the notch in the upper-right corner and the gold contacts facing down (away
from you). When you release the SIM make sure it is locked into position and it doesn’t spring out.
3Replace the end cap.
How Do I Handle My SIM?
Handle your SIM card very carefully since the card and gold contacts can be easily damaged by scratches or
bends. Be sure to keep SIM cards out of reach of small children.
What Happens If I Lose My SIM?
Call T-Mobile Customer Care at 1-800-937-8997.
What Happens If I Put A Different SIM in My Device?
We do not recommend you insert a different SIM into your device. If you do, your device will function but
you will not have access to your messages and you will not be able to use the telephone application.

Answer a Call
When you receive a new incoming phone call, you will see a notification screen like the following:
Since the Answer Phone button is highlighted by default, all you have to do is click the wheel to answer the call.
To send the call directly to voice mail, highlight and click the ForwardtoVoiceMail button, or simply press
the Back button.
There are a couple of special cases you should know about:
•If your device is asleep when a call comes in, the on-screen notification will include a message to press
the Menu button to unlock the wheel. Then you can click the wheel to answer the phone.
•If your device screen is locked when a call comes in, press the Menu button to unlock the wheel, then
click the wheel to answer the call. Once you’re on the call, the phone screen will include a button that
allows you to the device so you can use the Menu, Back, and Jump buttons.
•If you are already in a call when another call comes in, the notification screen will include a button to
Switch Calls. If you click this button, the first call will be put on hold. Alternatively, you can click the
Forward to Voice Mail button [ ] to send the incoming call straight to voice mail.
About Caller ID
If your caller does not have Caller ID blocked on their telephone account, then the incoming call notification
screen will include the caller information. In addition, if you have the caller in your Address Book, the notification
screen will be further personalized with the label on the phone number and an identity icon, if you have stored
this information.
For example, in the case that the caller does not have Caller ID blocked and you have the caller in your Address
Book, you could get a notification screen that looks like the one in the illustration above for caller Gloria Grant.
End a Call
There are a few ways you can end your telephone call:
•If you are in the Telephone application, click the button.
•If you are in an application other than Telephone, open the menu and click End Call.
•Regardless of where you are, press the Menu and Jump buttons together.

The Log stores up to 10 calls in each of the three categories (Incoming, Outgoing, or Missed), for a total of 30
calls. When you reach the maximum limit in one of the categories, the oldest call is removed from the Log to
make room for the new call. You can also clear your Log at any time (read more in

•Outgoing
• Missed
If you don’t have any calls in the category you selected, the screen will display the message “No calls in call
log”.

About Email Folders
The Email application uses four “system” folders--Inbox, Sent, Drafts, and Trash--shown in the illustration
below:
You cannot discard or modify the four system folders (Inbox, Sent, Drafts, Trash), but you can add any number
of folders with names you define. To add new, edit, or discard existing user-defined email folders, you use the
Email Preferences screen, as described in the following topics:
•
Manage Email Folders
on page 75
•
Edit an Existing Email Folder
on page 75
•
Discard an Existing Email Folder
on page 76
Here’s a little more information about each system folder:
•Inbox - The Inbox folder is the default drop point for any new emails you receive. Note that you can
specify that email from POP3 accounts be dropped into folders you create. (Read more in
Manage Email
Folders
on page 75.)
![](/img.php?id=236112&img=bg53.png)
Email Messaging
February 12, 2002 T-Mobile Device Owner’s Manual 83
•Sent - As you send an email message, the email is displayed in the Sent folder (expanded view), with its
status just to the left. In the illustration above you’ll see the status indicators showing the top email is
being sent ( ), the second is waiting to be sent ( ), and the third was not sent due to a delivery
problem ( ).
After a message has been sent, it disappears from the Sent folder, unless you specify in the Email
Preferences screen that you want to Save outgoing messages in Sent folder. If you’ve set this
preference, a copy of every email you compose and send will be saved in the Sent folder.
•Drafts - If you start composing an email but want to pause in writing it or wait to send it, then you can
save the email in the Drafts folder and later open it and continue. (Read more in
Save an Email Message as
a Draft
on page 85)
•Trash - Every message you discard from other folders is moved to the Trash folder. Discarded emails
accumulate in the Trash until you explicitly use the menu option to Empty Trash. As long as an email
stays in the Trash, however, you can restore it to another folder. (Read more in
Discard Email Messages
on
page 87.)
Sort Email Messages
Within each folder you can decide how you want messages to be sorted:
1Open the Browse Email screen and click Sort... [+ T]. The Sort Messages dialog box opens:
By default, messages are sorted by date & time, with newer messages appearing at the top.
2If you want to change this default sort behavior, you can choose from:

- Newer messages at bottom
•Subject - further specify sort order:
- A .. Z
- Z .. A
•Sender/Recipient - further specify sort order:
- A .. Z
- Z .. A

About Text Message Folders
Text Messages uses three “system” folders--Inbox, Sent, and Trash.
Here’s a little more information about each system folder:
•Inbox - The Inbox folder is the default drop point for any new messages you receive.
•Sent - As you send a text message, the message is displayed in the Sent folder (expanded view), with its
status just to the left. Possible status indicators include: message is being sent ( ), message is waiting
to be sent ( ), and message not sent due to a delivery problem ( ).
After a message has been sent, it disappears from the Sent folder, unless you specify in the Text Messages
Preferences screen that you want to Save outgoing messages in “Sent” folder. If you’ve set this
preference, a copy of every message you compose and send will be saved in the Sent folder.
•Trash - Every message you discard from other folders is moved to the Trash folder. Discarded messages
accumulate in the Trash until you explicitly use the menu option to Empty Trash. As long as a message
stays in the Trash, however, you can restore it to another folder. (Read more in
Discard Text Messages

16. Web Applications
You probably spend a lot of time in front of a computer. Perfect! All the information you put on your device is also
on the Web so you can look at it or even change it from your computer. Where on the Web? Just sign in to http:/
/www.voicestream-hiptop.com using the username and password you chose in
Your T-Mobile Account
on page
10. On the Web page that opens you’ll see the familiar T-Mobile Device applications available from the button
bar:
The T-Mobile Device applications not available on the Web are Telephone, Instant Messaging, and Web Browser.
All the other applications display the same personal data that you can see on your device screens. This is
accomplished through data synchronization, which means that no matter where you enter or receive personal
information--on the device or the Web client--you’ll be able to open that information on both clients.
Top Page
After you sign in, the page that opens is called your “Top Page” and contains the most up-to-date information
you have in the Email, Notes, To Do, and Calendar applications:
![](/img.php?id=236112&img=bg8b.png)
Web Applications
February 12, 2002 T-Mobile Device Owner’s Manual 139
Like the “preview screens” on your device, the Top Page displays current information so you can quickly see if
you have received any new emails, what events are coming up on your Calendar, tasks that need taking care of,
and your notes.
The T-Mobile Device Owner’s Manual
This manual, the
