II. Registration
Before you can start using your Sidekick II, you must complete the registration
steps, as explained in step 3 in the Start Guide. This section of the Reference
Guide takes you through the registration process in more detail. Note that
these instructions are for new users (not returning users). Returning users
can simply sign in using their existing username and password.
1 Wait for account activation.
Before you can use your account, your account must be activated. This
can take up to 48 hours, but usually takes only 1-3 hours. While you
wait, step through the screens that appear. If applicable, you’ll be given
the opportunity to select your language just before the Welcome screen
appears. When you see the Welcome screen, you’ll know your device has
been activated:
Press the wheel to select the New User button and advance to the next
screen. For subsequent screens, select the Next button to advance.
12 Registration

2 Type your first and last names.
Use the keyboard to type your First name, then rotate the wheel to
highlight the Last name field. Type your last name, scroll to highlight the
Next button, then press the wheel to advance to the next screen.
3 Select a username.
The username you select will be the first part of your email address (for
example, username@tmail.com). Before you select a username, read the
following guidelines:
Usernames must start with an alphabetic character (A-Z) and can
include numbers and underscores ( _ ), but no other punctuation.
Usernames must be at least 2 but no more than 32 characters long.
Usernames are not case-sensitive. For example, if your username is
“bridget”, you will be authenticated if you sign in by typing “Bridget”,
“BRIDGET”, or any combination of upper or lower case.
Once you decide on a username, type it in the text box on the screen.
4 Select a password.
Select a password that follows the rules below then type it in the text box:
Passwords must contain 4-15 characters, can include both
letters and numbers, but no spaces, single quotes ('), semicolons (;),
backslashes (/), or percent signs (%).
Passwords are case-sensitive. For example, if you set your password
to be “Hard2Guess”, then you will not be authenticated if you sign in
by typing “hard2guess”.
After you type your password, type it again to confirm.
5 Select your time zone.
Open the pop-up menu to see a list of time zones. Select yours from the
list, then select Next.
6 Select a “secret question” and type your answer.
If you ever forget your password, you’ll need to contact T-Mobile’s
Customer Care representative. For security purposes, they will ask you
to provide an answer to the “secret question” you select on this screen.
Press the wheel to open the Question pop-up menu, scroll to highlight a
question, then press the wheel to select it.
Rotate the wheel to highlight the Answer field, then type your answer.

7 Read and agree to the end-user agreement.
Before you can finish registration, you must read and agree to the end-
user agreement. You can read it in a number of places: by selecting the
on-screen View Agreement link, in “Legal Information” on page 60 of
this Guide, or from the Desktop Interface. Once you read the end-user
agreement, select the Next button to indicate your acceptance and
transmit your registration data.
8 Wait while data transmits.
Wait while the data you entered in Registration is transmitted to T-Mobile.
The service will check to see if your username has already been taken. If
it has, you will be offered alternative suggestions. You can either pick one
of these alternatives or type another username. Note that If you are out of
network coverage, you’ll be asked to “try again” to resume registration.
9 Congratulations!
Once your account has been set up,
you’ll see the
Congratulations screen:
Select the Start button to proceed.
10 Read the hints.
Before going to the Jump screen, take a minute to step through the hints
that appear. After reading each hint, select Next to advance. Select Done
at any time to dismiss the Hints screen and reveal the Jump screen. You
can always open these hints later from the Jump screen menu.

Device Basics
Battery Charger
Your device 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 device 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 on the lower right side 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.

16 Device Basics
Device Basics 17
Tip
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.
For efficient operation, charge your device nightly. If you plan to leave your
device unattended for an extended period of time, be aware that the battery
will discharge after 10 days if it is not attached to the charger. If your device
does fully discharge, simply attach it to the charger; all your data will be
restored from the service.
USB Port
The USB port is located under a cover between the power jack and headset
jack on the right side of your device. Although the current hardware version of
the device has a USB port, it is primarily used by developers as they create
new device applications, ringtones, and services. There are no immediate
plans to expand the functionality of the USB port.
Wrist Strap Holder
To carry your device securely, use a wrist strap with a flexible loop on one end.
(Straps are optional accessories.) Thread the loop under the strap holder and
through the “tunnel” on the back of your device, near the power button.
The Jump Screen
The Jump screen is your entry point to all the device applications.
1 Go to the Jump screen from any screen by pressing JUMP . The Phone
splash screen is selected by default.
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, view Network Status, open Hints, put the device into
Key Guard mode, 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.

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 (Phone) Service Only. A phone icon in the place of the “G” means you
are using (or only have access to) GSM phone service. 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, the time displayed
will be for the foreground call.
Call forwarding is turned on. Your phone will not ring.
Sound Profile Setting. When you have sound turned off (“Silent” sound
profile), the title bar will indicate whether you have flashing lights or vibration
set for alerts or notifications. From left to right, the icons indicate: totally silent
(no sound, flashing lights, or vibration), flashing lights only, and vibration only.
Communication Services Notifications. When you receive a new email,
text, IM, or voice mail message, or when a Web page has finished loading,
you’ll see a visual “balloon” notification move across the title bar, while you’re in
any application except games.
Until you check your new message or go to your Web page you’ll see the
appropriate icon in the title bar, as a reminder. The examples shown to the left
illustrate a pending email message, text message, and loaded Web page.
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.
To compose a new email message, you could press MENU + N rather than
opening the menu and selecting New Message with the wheel.

Tip
Customization
Your device is designed so you can set up many of its features to suit your
preferences. You specify device-wide preferences using the Settings screens
accessed from the Jump screen menu.
You can also customize many of the applications, including the following:
Setting your favorite Web home page (Web Browser)
Selecting individual Caller ID icons or photos (Phone/Address Book)
Creating your own categories and labels for identifying contact
information (Address Book)
Setting different ringtones for individual callers (Phone/Address Book)
You specify most application-specific preferences using the application
Settings screens: From the Jump screen, open any application (Web Browser,
Instant Messaging, Email, and so on). Then, from within the application, open
the menu and select Settings to open these screens.
If you see a musical note next to a menu item, you’ll know that’s where you
customize that application’s ringtone setting.

Try the following to improve radio reception:
• Use the hands-free headset and position the phone away from your body.
• Walk to a window if you are indoors.
• Step outside of buildings that have high metal, concrete, or earthen content
as they may absorb radio signals.
• Step away from metallic windows as they absorb RF energy.
• Go to the highest spot possible to make the call.
• Step away from computers or electronic equipment.
• If you are in a car, first park, then try the call from outside the car.
• If you are near or directly under a cellular/PCS radio tower, walk at least one
block away.

56 Handling and Safety Precautions
Radio Frequency Exposure
THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT’S REQUIREMENTS
FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES.
Your wireless device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed and manufactured
not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy set by the
Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government and also the limits set by
the Council of the European Union. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines
and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines
are based on standards that were developed by independent scientific organizations
through periodic and thorough evaluation of scientific studies. The standards include a
substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age
and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile devices employs a unit of measurement
known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is
1.6W/kg.1 Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions specified
by the FCC with the device transmitting at its highest certified power level in all tested
frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power level,
the actual SAR level of the device while operating can be well below the maximum
value. This is because the device is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as
to use only the power required to reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a
wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
Before a device model is available for sale to the public, it must be tested and certified
to the FCC that it does not exceed the limit established by the government-adopted
requirement for safe exposure. The tests are performed in positions and locations (e.g.,
at the ear and worn on the body) as required by the FCC for each model.
Handling and Safety Precautions 57
1 In the United States and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile devices used by the
public is 1.6 watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue. The EU SAR limit for
the general public is currently 2 W/kg averaged over 10 grams of body tissue. These
standards incorporate a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the
public and to account for any variations in measurements.
The highest SAR value for this model device when tested for use at the ear is 0.54
W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this Guide, is 0.75 W/kg. (Body-worn
measurements differ among device models, depending upon available accessories and
FCC requirements.) While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various
devices and at various positions, they all meet the government requirement for safe
exposure.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this wireless device with all
reported SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF emission guidelines.
SAR information on this model device is on file with the FCC and can be found under
the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid after searching on FCC ID P5J-
ONISH.
For body-worn operation, to maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines,
use the supplied carrying case. Use of non-approved accessories may violate FCC RF
exposure guidelines and should be avoided. When carrying the device on you, turning
the display in towards the body will minimize RF exposure and maximize antenna
efficiency.

Danger® Service Privacy Notice
Danger, Inc. (“Danger”) owns and operates a service that enables certain features on your wireless device, including
email, Internet access, instant messaging, address book, and calendar functions (the “Danger Service”). The Danger
Service also includes a Web site operated by Danger (the “Danger Service Web Site”) that subscribers may use to
access these features, as described more fully in this Reference Guide. This Privacy Notice applies to information
collected by Danger in connection with its operation of the Danger Service. This Notice does not apply to information
collected on Web sites operated by Danger, such as www.danger.com or www.hiptop.com. To find out how Danger
handles information collected on those Web sites, please read the privacy policies located at those sites. Finally, this
Notice does not apply to information collected by your wireless carrier. Please refer to your wireless carrier’s privacy
policy to learn what information it collects about you and how such information is used.
YOUR PRIVACY IS IMPORTANT TO US
At Danger we are committed to maintaining the privacy and accuracy of your personal information and to protecting
such information from loss, misuse and unauthorized access and disclosure. This Privacy Notice describes how
Danger treats information received about you when you become a subscriber to the Danger Service, when you provide
information to us, and when you use the Danger Service.
64 Legal Information
WHAT INFORMATION DOES DANGER COLLECT?
It is important to know that we collect different types of information. We use each type of information in different ways,
as explained in more detail below. The terms defined below are used throughout our Privacy Notice.
1. “Personal Information” is any information that personally identifies you as an individual. Examples of this type of
information would be your name, address, telephone number, email address, and other information that personally
identifies you. Personal Information also includes data you transmit and/or store on the Danger Service, such as your
addresses book, notes, tasks, pictures and the contents of messages and emails you send and receive.
2. “Anonymous Information” does not personally identify you as an individual. It is information collected without
connecting it to any name, address, or other Personal Information. Although this data does not personally identify you,
it does provide us with anonymous information about how people are using our Service. For example, Anonymous
Information collected by us may describe how many people viewed a particular Web site or used a particular feature of
our Service, but this data does not disclose Personal Information of those people.
Personal Information
Danger collects certain information that personally identifies you. When you register to become a user of the Danger
Service, Danger requests your name. Danger also collects the mobile phone number for the device you are registering
and the email address assigned to you as a subscriber to the Danger Service. In addition, if you use your wireless
device to access the AOL Instant Messenger™ Service, Danger will collect your screen name and password for this
service.
By using the Danger Service, you will transmit and store on Danger’s servers other personal information, such as your
addresses book, notes, tasks, pictures and the contents of emails you send and receive. You may also retrieve email
from your existing email accounts with third party services by using protocols such as “POP”. When you set up mail
accounts through the Danger Service, Danger collects the email addresses and other information associated with
these accounts and stores the content of the email messages sent to these accounts on its servers.
Personal Information may also be collected at other times by specifically requesting it from you, such as when you
order premium services, when you request other promotional material, when we ask you to complete customer
surveys, and in other circumstances when you interact with the Danger Service or our employees, agents and
contractors working to provide the Danger Service to you.
Anonymous Information
Danger collects and stores Anonymous Information relating to the use of the Danger Service. For example, Danger’s
servers automatically gather information regarding which Web pages are visited by users of the Danger Service. In
addition, Danger collects data regarding subscribers’ usage of various features of the Service, such as how many
email messages or IM messages are sent by a particular user or by users in the aggregate, the most popular Web
sites visited by users of the Service, the number of Web pages viewed at the Danger Service Web Site, and other
similar information. Similarly, for network monitoring purposes, the Danger Service records how many devices in
the aggregate are connected to the Service in particular geographic locations, but the Service does not identify the
location of individual devices or subscribers. All of this Anonymous Information gathered from your use of the Danger
Service is stored by Danger under an automatically generated identification number that will not be linked to your name
or your other Personal Information without your consent, except as specifically provided in the Use of Anonymous
Information section below.
Legal Information 65
Private Data and Online Communications
Danger stores certain information on its servers at your request. As described above, you may request that Danger
retrieve email messages from email accounts maintained by third parties. The content of Instant Messaging
conversations may also be temporarily stored on Danger’s servers pending delivery to your wireless device. In addition,
you may store addresses, calendar information, to do lists, notes, and photographs on the Danger Service, either
through your wireless device or by uploading such information at the Danger Service Web Site. If you input such
information directly on your wireless device, it is automatically synchronized with and stored on Danger’s servers and is
available to you through both the device and the Danger Service Web Site.
HOW DOES DANGER USE THE INFORMATION IT COLLECTS?
Personal Information
Danger collects and uses Personal Information to (a) operate and deliver the Danger Service, (b) process or collect
payments and for other billing purposes, (c) to assist with questions about use of the Danger Service, (d) to anticipate
and resolve problems with your Service, and (e) to alert you to new products, product upgrades, software upgrades,
changes to the service, technical and administrative issues, special offers and other information related to the Danger
Service.
Anonymous Information
Danger uses Anonymous Information to effectively operate the Danger Service and enhance your experience using
the Service. For example, Danger stores cached versions of the Web sites that are most frequently visited by users
of the Service, so that you can access them more quickly. Danger also uses Anonymous Information to understand
how certain features of our Service are being used and to measure the costs of providing certain features. We may
also use Anonymous Information to diagnose and correct problems with the Danger Service. In some cases, it may be
necessary to link Anonymous Information relating to your use of the Service with you individually in order to correct
problems that you may be experiencing with the Danger Service. In general, the collection and use of Anonymous
Information allows Danger to analyze the use of the Danger Service to continue to develop and provide improved
features and services to our subscribers.
Private Data and Online Communications
Danger honors the confidentiality of your private communications and other private data, whether it is through Instant
Messaging conversations, email messages, or other data stored at your request, such as addresses and calendar
information. Danger will not read or disclose to third parties private communications that are transmitted using the
Danger Service or private data stored at your request, except as required to operate the Danger Service or as
otherwise provided in the Special Circumstances section below.
WITH WHOM DOES DANGER SHARE THE INFORMATION THAT IS COLLECTED?
Personal Information
Danger will not share your Personal Information with third parties without your consent, except in the very limited
circumstances outlined in the Special Circumstances section below. Your Personal Information is not otherwise sold,
marketed or shared with third parties without your permission.
66 Legal Information
Anonymous Information
Anonymous Information may be shared with third parties for research, analysis, or other similar purposes. Danger will
only share Anonymous Information with third parties if the information is disclosed in a manner that does not identify
individual subscribers to the third parties concerned.
ARE THERE ANY SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES THAT MAY REQUIRE MY INFORMATION TO BE SHARED WITH
THIRD PARTIES?
Danger may disclose Personal Information and/or Anonymous Information if required to do so by law or in the good-
faith belief that such action is necessary or appropriate to (a) conform to the edicts of the law or comply with legal
process served on Danger, (b) protect and defend the rights or property of Danger, the Danger Service, or the users of
the Danger Service, whether or not required to do so by law, or (c) protect the personal safety of users of the Danger
Service or the public. Danger reserves the right to contact appropriate authorities and disclose Personal or Anonymous
Information to them at its discretion when it appears that individuals using our products or services are engaged in
activities that are illegal or violate the Danger Service and End-User License Agreement.
Should Danger merge with or be acquired by another company, or if the business unit providing your service were
sold to another company, then customer information maintained by Danger, including Personal and Anonymous
Information, may be transferred to and used by the resulting combined company. If Danger were to cease operations,
this customer data might be transferred to and used by another company, which offers similar or related products or
services. While we cannot predict a great deal about such an unlikely event, we would hope this would provide you with
continuity of service.
From time to time, Danger may also share Personal Information with third parties for their use to provide services to
Danger in the operation and delivery of the Danger Service, such as to process or collect payments, service accounts,
or provide the products and services associated with the Danger Service. All such third parties are prohibited from use
of such Personal Information except to provide such services to Danger, and they are also required to maintain the
confidentiality of such Personal Information.
HOW CAN YOU UPDATE OR CORRECT YOUR INFORMATION?
Danger believes in and supports your right to access and edit the Personal Information you have provided us. You may
make such changes at the Danger Service Web Site.
DOES DANGER COLLECT INFORMATION FROM CHILDREN UNDER 13?
Danger currently does not knowingly collect or use Personal Information from children under 13, and Danger will not
do so in the future without first obtaining verifiable consent from their parents. Should a child whom Danger knows to
be under 13 send Personal Information to Danger, Danger will only use that information to respond directly to that child
or seek parental consent.
Legal Information 67
WHAT TYPES OF SECURITY MEASURES ARE IN PLACE TO PROTECT YOUR INFORMATION?
Danger maintains a variety of physical, electronic, and procedural safeguards to guard your information. For example,
information transmitted from your wireless device to the Danger Service is automatically encrypted for your protection.
Once your information reaches us, it resides on a server that is heavily guarded both physically and electronically. In
order to prevent unauthorized access into our systems, our servers sit behind an electronic firewall and are not directly
connected to the Internet. These technologies and methods increase the security and privacy of information traveling
to, from and within the Danger Service. While we cannot guarantee that loss, misuse or alteration of your data will not
occur, we work hard to prevent such occurrences.
Danger also safeguards Personal Information from unauthorized access. Only authorized Danger employees or
agents carrying out permitted business functions are permitted to access Personal Information. Employees who violate
Danger’s privacy access policies are subject to disciplinary actions, including termination when appropriate. In addition,
Danger encourages all users of the Danger Service to review the privacy policies posted by the Web sites visited over
the Internet, including those linked to from the Danger Service, to ensure that these Web sites also protect Personal
Information. Danger is not responsible for Personal Information you provide to such sites or the privacy practices and
other polices of such sites.
DOES DANGER USE COOKIES?
Cookies are small text files that are placed on the hard drive of your computer by a Web site you visit. These files
identify your computer and record your preferences and other data about your visit so that when you return to the site,
the site knows who you are and can personalize your visit. In operating the Danger Service Web Site, Danger uses
cookies to personalize the site, improve your experience at the site, and to determine which areas and features of the
site are most popular. You may set your browser to reject cookies, but this may affect your ability to use some parts of
the Danger Service Web Site.
When you access the Internet using your wireless device, the Web sites you visit may use cookies. These cookies will
not be physically placed on your wireless device, but they may be transferred to Danger’s servers or placed on servers
operated by third-party Web site operators. This cookie-like functionality is in place for the same reasons and designed
for the same purposes as cookies installed on your computer, but information collected from cookies by third parties is
subject to their privacy practices rather than Danger’s.
As technology advances and cookies provide more functionality, we may utilize them in different ways in the future. As
we do so, this Notice will be updated to provide you with more information.
HOW CAN I FIND OUT ABOUT CHANGES TO THIS PRIVACY NOTICE?
Danger may make changes to this Notice from time to time. We will post changes to our Privacy Notice here, so be
sure to check back periodically. We may also notify you of significant changes by email or in other ways.
WHAT IF I HAVE OTHER QUESTIONS, COMMENTS, OR CONCERNS ABOUT PRIVACY?
If you have any questions or comments about our use of Personal Information or about this Privacy Notice, please
contact us at privacy@danger.com. Danger will use reasonable efforts to promptly investigate any complaint you may
have regarding our use of Personal Information and to comply fully with the legal and regulatory supervisory authorities
responsible for enforcing our adherence to the privacy principles stated above.
