Installing the SIM card and battery
Before you can make a phone call using your P525, you need to install a Subscriber Identity
Module (SIM) card. A SIM card contains your phone number, subscriber details, phonebook,
and additional phone memory.
Your P525 comes with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery.
New batteries come partially discharged and should be fully charged before using them. They
generally do not reach their rated capacity until they have been charged and discharged at
least four (4) times. We recommended that new batteries be charged overnight even though
they may indicate that the charge is complete after a few hours. Sometimes charging may
stop during the initial charge and it is necessary to remove the battery for approximately
fteen (15) minutes and then put it back on charge.
Getting your device ready
1. Remove the battery compartment over.
NOTE:
If the device is on, it automatically turns off
after you open the battery compartment.
CAUTION:
Use only an ASUS qualied battery.

Server, provided that your cellular phone service or company is running Microsoft Exchange
Server with Exchange ActiveSync. When synchronized directly with Exchange Server, you can
stay up to date even when your PC is turned off.
During synchronization, ActiveSync compares the data in your device with the data in your
computer or Exchange Server, and updates all data with recent changes.
You can select and synchronize data in the following locations using ActiveSync:
• Contacts
• Calendar
• Email
• Tasks
• Notes
• Favorites
• Files
• Media
You can also exchange data between your computer and device without synchronizing.
ActiveSync is already installed in your device, but before you can synchronize data with
your computer, you must rst install ActiveSync in your computer. Install ActiveSync from the
Microsoft companion CD that came with your device package.
After you have installed ActiveSync, set up a sync relationship between your device and your
computer. ActiveSync recognizes your device and automatically transfers the synchronization
settings you have in your device.
37
If you wish to synchronize your device with Exchange Server through your company or service
provider, obtain the name of the Exchange Server, user name, password, and domain name
from your network administrator before starting the Sync Setup Wizard.
To install and congure ActiveSync in your computer:
1. Insert the Microsoft companion CD that came with your device package.
2. Follow succeeding screen instructions.
3. After the setup is complete, the Sync Setup Wizard automatically starts when you
connect your device to your computer. Follow screen instructions to complete the wizard.
4. From the Sync Setup Wizard, you can:
• Congure an Exchange Server connection to synchronize directly with an Exchange
Server. Acquire from your network administrator the required parameters for input.
• Create a synchronization relationship between your computer and your device.
5. Select the information type that you want to synchronize.
6. After you nish the wizard, ActiveSync automatically synchronizes your device. You can
disconnect the device after the synchronization is complete.
NOTE:
• When connected, your device is automatically synchronized with your computer. ActiveSync synchronizes everytime
you make a change on either the device or computer.
• You cannot use WLAN to synchronize database.
• Refer to your Windows® Mobile Help, for more information about ActiveSync synchronization.
38
Synchronizing via USB
You can connect to your device using the bundled USB cable to synchronize to your computer.
To synchronize your device via USB:
1. After installing ActiveSync to your computer, connect the USB plug to the mini-USB
connector at the bottom of the device.
2. Connect the other end of the USB cable to your computer. Upon connection, ActiveSync
automatically synchronizes your device.
39
Synchronizing via Bluetooth

Introduction
WLAN (IEEE 802.11b), refers to certain types of wireless local area network (WLAN) that
use specications in the 802.11 family. Created by the Wi-Fi Alliance, a nonprot international
association to certify interoperability of wireless local area network products. Any device
tested and approved by the Wi-Fi Alliance are certied as interoperable with each other even
if they are from different manufacturers.
Activating WLAN in your device
To activate WLAN in your device:
1. Tap Start > Settings > Connections tab then tap the Wi-Fi Manager icon.

You can also turn Wi-Fi ON or OFF from the Today screen:
1. Tap the Wi-Fi icon or on the status bar.
2. From the pop-up callout, tap Turn on Wi-Fi.
Using WLAN (IEEE 802.11b)
NOTE:
• When WLAN is used simultaneously with the GPRS, the latter will get signal priority. We recommend not to use
WLAN and GPRS at the same time.
• We recommend not to use WLAN and the Bluetooth function at the same time. Disturbance in data transmission is
possible since both use the same wireless channel.
• The WLAN and USB connections can not be used at the same time.
• When the battery power is less than 20% the device prompts a warning message whether to continue using WiFi or
not. Tap “Yes” to continue using or “No” to disconnect. In any case, we recommend that you plug the power adapter
immediately to avoid losing data.
64
