Note: The password should be between four and 12 alphanumeric
characters. Ensure it is a password you won’t forget and that other
people won’t be able to guess easily.
Private Folder
Your Acer M900DF Smartphone supports a Private Folder that is only accessible via a fingerprint or password. To
set up the private folder, tap Start >
Settings > Golden Finger > Private tab.
Important: You can only have one private folder on the phone. If you wish to
set up a new private folder, you will need
to delete any exisiting folder first.
From this tab you can give your private
folder a name, set how large it will be
and where it will be located. Tap Create
to create the folder with the parameters you set.
To open the private folder, you can simply tap Private Folder at
the bottom of the Home page.
Navigate with the fingerprint
reader
To enable the fingerprint reader navigation features, tap Start
> Settings > System tab > Finger Navigation. You can use the
fingerprint reader to navigate around the screen by sliding

Once you’ve moved the cursor to the
desired location, tap the fingerprint
reader lightly to activate a link, launch a
program or do any other function that
would normally be done by right-clicking a mouse.
The top slider adjusts the sensitivity of
the fingerprint reader, controlling how
fast the mouse or cursor moves when
the reader detects finger motion.
Higher sensitivity settings will result in
faster mouse/cursor motion with relatively less finger motion.
Nav Mode determines the performance mode, which controls
how quickly readings are taken as you slide your finger on the
reader.

Description
HP
Higher Performance: Requires higher power and
drains the battery faster.
MP
Medium Performance: Offers the optimal balance
between performance and battery life.
LP
Lower Performance: Offers the best battery life.
The Nav Emulation feature has the following settings:

Description
DPAD
Gives you 8-way directional control. It simulates
the up, down, left and right arrow keys on the
keyboard.
Rocker

instant automatic motion repeat and has tapping
enabled (has a similar action to a touch stick
embedded in a notebook keyboard).
Mouse

has tapping enabled.
Off
Navigation features will not be used.
When you select DPAD, Rocker or Joystick emulation, a Delay
before first repeat control will be displayed. Use this control to
set the delay between the first motion and repeat motions.
Tip: When the slider is moved fully over towards “Long”, the time
delay is infinite, and you must remove your finger from the reader
before another motion is generated.
The Tap Sensitivity control is used to adjust tap settings. The
default value that should be acceptable to a wide range of
users. If you move the slider towards “Slow,” you can rest your
finger on the reader for a longer period while still being able
to tap.
Tip: To disable tapping, move the slider all the way over to “Fast.”
This effectively disabled tapping since it is impossible to tap that
quickly.

Battery information
This product uses a Lithium Polymer battery. Do not use it in a
humid, wet and/or corrosive environment. Do not put, store or
leave your product in or near a heat source, in a high temperature location, in strong direct sunlight, in a microwave oven or
in a pressurized container, and do not expose it to temperatures over 60 °C (140 °F). Failure to follow these guidelines may
cause the battery to leak acid, become hot, explode or ignite
and cause injury and/or damage. Do not pierce, open or disassemble the battery. If the battery leaks and you come into contact with the leaked fluids, rinse thoroughly with water and
seek medical attention immediately. For safety reasons, and to
prolong the lifetime of the battery, charging will not occur at
low (below 0 °C/32 °F) or high (over 40 °C/104 °F) temperatures.
The full performance of a new battery is achieved only after
two or three complete charge and discharge cycles. The battery can be charged and discharged hundreds of times, but it
will eventually wear out. When the talk and standby times are
noticeably shorter than normal, buy a new battery. Use only
Acer approved batteries, and recharge your battery only with
Acer approved chargers designated for this device.
Unplug the charger from the electrical plug and the device
when not in use. Do not leave a fully charged battery connected to the ac charger, since overcharging may shorten its
lifetime. If left unused, a fully charged battery will lose its
charge over time. If the battery is completely discharged, it
Warnings and precautions
105
may take a few minutes before the charging indicator appears
on the display or before any calls can be made.
Use the battery only for its intended purpose. Never use any
charger or battery that is damaged.
Do not short-circuit the battery. Accidental short-circuiting can
occur when a metallic object such as a coin, clip, or pen causes
direct connection of the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals
of the battery. (These look like metal strips on the battery.)
This might happen, for example, when you carry a spare battery in your pocket or purse. Short-circuiting the terminals may
damage the battery or the connecting object.
Leaving the battery in hot or cold places, such as in a closed car
in summer or winter conditions, will reduce the capacity and
lifetime of the battery. Always try to keep the battery between
15 °C and 25 °C (59 °F and 77 °F). A device with a hot or cold
battery may not work temporarily, even when the battery is
fully charged. Battery performance is particularly limited in
temperatures well below freezing.
Do not dispose of batteries in a fire as they may explode. Batteries may also explode if damaged. Dispose of batteries
according to local regulations. Please recycle when possible.
Do not dispose as household waste.
Replacing the battery pack
Your Acer M900DF Smartphone uses lithium batteries. Replace
the battery with the same type as that which came bundled
with your product. Use of another battery may present a risk
of fire or explosion.
Warning! Batteries may explode if not handled properly. Do not
disassemble or dispose of them in fire. Keep them away from children. Follow local regulations when disposing of used batteries.
106
Acer M900DF Smartphone User Guide

RF exposure guidelines when used normally, and it and its
antenna are positioned at least 1.5 cm (5/8") away from your
body. Do not cover the antenna with metal and you should
position the device at the above-stated distance from your
body. To successfully transmit data files or messages, this
device requires a good quality connection to the network. In
some cases, transmission of data files or messages may be
delayed until such a connection is available. Ensure that the
above separation distance instructions are followed until the
transmission is completed. Parts of the device are magnetic.
Metallic materials may be attracted to the device, and persons
with hearing aids should not hold the device to the ear with
the hearing aid. Do not place credit cards or other magnetic
storage media near the device, because information stored on
them may be erased.
