Installing the SIM card and battery
Before you can make a phone call using your P527, 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 P527 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 recommend 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 cover.
NOTE:
When turned on, the device automatically turns off
after you open the battery compartment to prevent
data loss.
CAUTION:
Use only an ASUS qualied battery.
To install a SIM card and battery:
17
2. Remove the battery.
3. Insert the SIM card with its gold
contacts facing down and the notched
corner oriented to the upper left corner
of the slot as shown.
4. Replace the battery into the
compartment with its copper contacts
properly aligned to the copper
conductor on the device.
5. Replace battery compartment cover.
18
Charging the battery
The bundled battery pack is shipped partially charged. Charge the battery up to four (4) hours
before using for the rst time.
To charge battery:
1. Connect the AC adapter plug to the mini-USB connector at the bottom of the device.
2. Connect the AC power plug to a grounded wall socket or power strip.
NOTE:
• The notication LED turns red and charging battery icon appears on the status bar indicating that the battery is
charging.
• If your battery gets totally discharged, you need to recharge it for at least twenty minutes before you can turn it
back on.

Using ActiveSync™
ActiveSync™ allows you to synchronize data in your device with data in your computer.
ActiveSync can also synchronize over a wireless or cellular network with Microsoft Exchange
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 Getting Started 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.
39
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 congure ActiveSync in your computer:
1. Insert the Microsoft Getting Started 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:
• Congure 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.
40
Synchronizing via mini-USB
You can connect to your device using the bundled mini-USB cable to synchronize to your
computer.
To synchronize your device via mini-USB:
