Before you can start using your Sidekick, you must complete the registration
steps, as explained in step 3 in the Start Here guide. This section of the

suggestions. You can either pick one of these alternates or type another
username. Note that If you are out of network coverage, you’ll be asked to
“try again” to resume registration.

Device Basics
Battery Charger
Your Sidekick comes with a built-in rechargeable lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery.
The battery should be fully charged when you receive your device, but if it
isn’t, follow the instructions below to charge the battery.
Only use the battery charger provided with your Sidekick to charge your
battery, or you risk damaging your device.
1 Attach the battery charger to your device.
Locate the battery charger that came with your device in the box. Insert
the charger lead (the small round end of the adapter) into your device’s
power jack (the small round hole located at the top of your device) and
plug the power cord into a standard electrical wall outlet.
A lightning bolt icon will appear over the battery icon (in the title bar),
indicating the charger is connected and the battery is charging.
12 Device Basics
III.
2 Let the device charge for at least four (4) hours.
Rest the device in a safe place and let the battery charge for at least
four hours, or overnight, to ensure maximum battery life. As the device is
charging, you will see the bars in the battery icon fill repeatedly from left
to right in an animated fashion. When your device is fully-charged, the
lightning bolt icon will disappear and the bars will stop moving and remain
in the filled position.
USB Cable and Port
The USB cable connection is used for software recovery, not software update.
If your device should ever need recovery software installed (this would have
been diagnosed by Customer Care), you will need to connect your device to
your desktop or laptop computer using the USB cable.
Wrist Strap
To carry your device securely, attach a wrist strap (one came in the box) to the
retractable strap ring on your device. Use your fingernail to expose the ring, as
shown below.
Device Basics 13
The Jump Screen
The Jump screen is your entry point to all the Sidekick applications: Web
Browser, Instant Messaging, Email, Phone, SMS, Address Book, Calendar,
To Do, Notes, Camera, Rock & Rocket, and Catalog.
1 Go to the Jump screen from any screen by pressing JUMP . The Phone
application is selected by default, as shown above.
2 Press MENU from the Jump screen to open the Jump screen menu. From
this menu you can open device-wide Settings and Controls screens. You
can also Sign In, put the device into Key Guard mode, open Hints, view
Network Status, and Power Off your device from this menu.
3 To select a particular application, use the wheel to scroll through the “ring”
of application icons. When the application you want is highlighted, simply
press the wheel once to open that application.
14 Device Basics
Title Bar and Indicators
The device display indicators appear at the top of your screen at all times.
Screen Title
Battery Strength
Wireless Signal Strength
Date and Time
Service Connectivity Status
New Message Notification (Email)
Sound Profile Setting
Wireless signal strength indicator. The more signal bands showing to the
right of the radio tower icon, the stronger the signal strength at your current
location. If you see an X flashing over the radio tower icon, you’ve temporarily
lost network connection.
Service connectivity indicators. One dot = device is connecting to the GPRS
network, two dots = getting IP address; three dots = connecting to the data
service; “G” = fully connected to the data service.
GSM Service Only. A phone icon in the place of the “G” means you have GSM
phone service only. (If you have a call in progress you’ll also see a timer.)
Battery indicators. The more bars shown in the battery icon, the more charge
in the battery. When connected to the charger, a lightning bolt appears, and
when your battery is almost out of charge, an exclamation point appears!
Phone Call Indicators.
You have a call in progress; in the example, time elapsed is 3 mins, 40 secs.
Note that the phone icon blinks. If you have two calls active, you’ll see one
phone icon blinking and the time displayed will be for the foreground call.
Call forwarding is turned on. Your phone will not ring.
Device Basics 15
Sound Profile Setting. When you have sound turned off (“Mute”), the title
bar will indicate whether you have flash or vibration set. From left to right, the
icons indicate: total mute (no flash or vibrate), flash only (no vibrate), vibrate.
Communication Services Notifications. When you receive a new email,
SMS (text), IM, or voice mail message, you’ll see a visual “balloon” notification
move across the title bar, while you’re in any application except games.
Until you read your new message or listen to your voice mail, you’ll see the
appropriate icon in the title bar, as a reminder.
Menus
Almost every screen on your device has a set of actions you can take while
on that screen. These actions are listed in a floating window, called a menu,
which you open by pressing the Menu button MENU . Notice that some menu
items expand into submenus, as shown with Settings below.
Frequently-used menu items also have keyboard shortcuts that use the Menu
button plus a shortcut key. For example, take a look at the menu shown above.

Troubleshooting
How do I know when my account has been activated?
Once your account has been activated by your wireless carrier, you will see a
“Welcome” message on your screen. If the Welcome message doesn’t appear
on your device after 48 hours after registering, contact your carrier’s Customer
Care department.
In order to comply with airline regulations, how can I temporarily disable

Remember to power off your device during aircraft takeoffs and landings. To
turn off wireless connectivity (to comply with FAA regulations) follow these
instructions:
1 From the Jump screen, press MENU then select Controls > Wireless....
2 In the Wireless Options dialog box that appears, select the Wireless Off
option, then select OK.
3 Your device is now offline. You should confirm offline status by looking
next to the radio tower icon in the title bar; it should read OFF.
Even without wireless connectivity, you can still access the device applications
and you can read email messages that have been already downloaded.
However, you will not be able to send or receive messages until you enable
wireless connectivity.
Troubleshooting 45
VII.
My device won’t power on even though I’ve been charging it for some
time. What should I do?
Perform a “hard reset” by pressing the power button and inserting a paper
clip into the reset hole at the same time. The power button is located on the
lower left-hand side of the keyboard, and closing or opening the screen slightly
exposes the reset hole. A hard reset should cause your device to activate and
function properly. If your device fails to power on after performing a hard reset,
contact Customer Care to resolve the issue.
How can I protect my device from damage?
The best way to protect your device is to carry it with the display closed, in the
carrying case supplied in the box. You may risk damaging your device if you
do not protect the display.
What should I do if I need a replacement part for my device or if I need to
have my device repaired?
Contact your carrier’s Customer Care department for troubleshooting support.
My device has not connected to the service for quite a while. Is there
anything I can do myself before calling Customer Care?
Yes, try powering your device off and on. After your device boots, you’ll know
you’ve connected to the service when you see the in the title bar again.
What Web browsers do you support on the Desktop Interface?
Web browsers IE 5+ are supported on both the Windows and Macintosh
operating systems.
46 Troubleshooting
Why do the Web pages I open using the device’s Web Browser
application appear different from the pages I open on my desktop
computer?
The Web pages displayed on your device have been reformatted so they are
easier to read on a small display. The same information displays, it’s just laid
out on the screen so that it’s easier to view from your device.
What are the requirements for getting my other email accounts to appear
on my device?
To fetch messages from another email account, you must gather the following
information:
n Name of the remote email server (e.g., mail.example.com).
n Protocol used by the remote email server (e.g., POP, IMAP).
n Your username on the remote email server. (For example, if your
email address is joe@example.com, then your username is “joe”.)
n Your password on the remote email server. This is the same password
you use to open the remote email directly.
Most Internet Service Providers and University email systems work with
the POP3 protocol. If you are not sure of the protocol, please call or email
your remote service and ask what protocol they support. The remote service
operators should also be able to tell you the name of the remote email server.
Once you have all this information, set up your external account by following
the instructions in “Fetch Email from External Accounts” on page 33 of this
guide. Once set up, your remote email account will be checked periodically
and a copy of all new, unread messages will be placed in your
device Email mailbox.
Troubleshooting 47
Why is there an infrared port on my device?
The IR port is currently not used, but is provided for future functionality.
How secure is my account data on the Desktop Interface? There may be
sensitive information stored in contact information (credit card numbers
for example) that must be secure!
Information in your account is stored on secure servers in a data center
protected by extensive physical security and firewalls. Please refer to your
carrier’s Privacy Policy for more information.
I noticed there isn’t a battery door on the device. Why is that?
You will never need to replace the Li-Ion battery, although you will need to
charge it nightly.
How can I clean my device screen?
The screen on your device is coated with a protective layer of polycarbonate.
You can safely use warm soapy water, denatured alcohol, or isopropyl alcohol
to remove dirt and smudges from your screen. Be sure to use a very soft
cloth, such as an old t-shirt, to prevent scratching when wiping the screen.
How do I report a lost device?
Call your carrier’s Customer Care department to report the lost device. Don’t
worry! Your carrier will disable any lost device and your data is always safely
stored on the service. When you receive your new device, your account data
will be downloaded to it automatically.
