Notes
Depending upon the specific model purchased, the color and look of your device

ENERGY STAR® is a government program that offers businesses and consumers
energy-efficient solutions, making it easy to save money while protecting the
environment for future generations.
Please reference ENERGY STAR® related information from
www.energystar.gov.
As an ENERGY STAR® Partner, Getac Technology Corporation has determined that
this product meets the ENERGY STAR® guidelines for energy efficiency.
An ENERGY STAR® qualified computer uses 70 % less electricity than computers
without enabled power management features.
Earning the ENERGY STAR®
When every home office is powered by equipment that has earned the ENERGY
STAR®, the change will keep over 289 billion pounds of greenhouse gases
out of the air.
If left inactive, ENERGY STAR® qualified computers enter a low-power mode
and may use 15 watts or less. New chip technologies make power management
features more reliable, dependable, and user-friendly than even just a few years
ago.
Spending a large portion of time in low-power mode not only saves energy,
but helps equipment run cooler and last longer.
Businesses that use ENERGY STAR® enabled office equipment may realize
additional savings on air conditioning and maintenance.
Over its lifetime, ENERGY STAR® qualified equipment in a single home office
(e.g., computer, monitor, printer, and fax) can save enough electricity to light
an entire home for more than 4 years.
Power management (‚sleep settings‛) on computers and monitors can result
in much savings annually.
Remember, saving energy prevents pollution
Because most computer equipment is left on 24 hours a day, power management
features are important for saving energy and are an easy way to reduce air pollution.
By using less energy, these products help lower consumers’ utility bills, and prevent
greenhouse gas emissions.

Before installation, make sure that you have Microsoft Outlook installed on
your computer.
Connect your device to the computer AFTER Windows Mobile Device Center
or ActiveSync is installed.

Synchronizing Directly with Exchange Server
You can increase your productivity when you are away from the office by setting
up an account to access e-mail, voice mail, calendar, and contact information from
a Microsoft Exchange Server.
Exchange Server, the Microsoft messaging and collaboration server, lets you send
and receive your work e-mail, calendar updates, voice mail, and contact information
while traveling.
To set up the account, you must obtain the name of the Exchange Server and
the server domain from the wireless service provider or system administrator. You
must also know your Exchange user name and password.
1. Make sure your device is not connected to your computer.
2. On your device, tap ActiveSync.
3. Tap Add Server Source.
4. Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup.
5. Connect your device to the Internet for synchronization with Exchange Server.
NOTE:
If a message pops up asking you to accept security policies for
synchronization with Exchange Server, tap OK to proceed.
You may be prompted to set the password for device lock. You can set a
longer period of time (maximum of 24 hours) before your device prompts you
to enter the password again.
To disable the Direct Push feature, tap ActiveSync. Tap Options,
uncheck the E-mail item and then tap ok to save the changes.

Chapter 7
Getting Connected
This chapter tells you how you can get your device connected through a variety
of ways.
Types of Connections
Your device can connect to the Internet, to your computer, and to other devices
and services.
Your device has two groups of connection settings: My ISP and My Work Network.
My ISP settings connect your device to the Internet, and My Work Network settings
connect to any private network, such as an intranet that you use at work.
The following types of connections are available on your device:
Cellular (GPRS) is a long-distance wireless data connection that is available
through some mobile service operators.
Dial-up lets you access the Internet or a corporate network by dialing a phone
number.
Wi-Fi lets you wirelessly connect your device to the Internet through access
points that can be up to 30 meters (about 100 feet) away.
Bluetooth lets you create a temporary wireless network that can link up to eight
devices that are within 10 meters (about 33 feet) of one another.
7-2 Getting Connected
USB is a wired connection between your device and a computer for synchronizing
data or surfing the Internet. (See ‚ActiveSync‛ in Chapter 6 for information.)

Caring for Your Device
Taking good care of your device will ensure trouble-free operation and reduce the
risk of damage to your device.
Keep your device away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures.
Avoid exposing your device to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for extended
periods of time.
Do not place anything on top of your device or drop objects on your device.
Do not drop your device or subject it to severe shock.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance 8-5
Do not subject your device to sudden and severe temperature changes. This
could cause moisture condensation inside the unit, which could damage your
device. In the event of moisture condensation, allow your device to dry out
completely before use.
The screen surface can easily be scratched. Avoid touching it with sharp objects.
Non-adhesive generic screen protectors designed specifically for use on portable
devices with LCD panels may be used to help protect the screen from minor
scratches.
Never clean your device with it powered on. Use a soft, lint-free cloth to wipe
the screen and the exterior of your device.
Do not use paper towels to clean the screen.
Never attempt to disassemble, repair or make any modifications to your device.
Disassembly, modification or any attempt at repair could cause damage to your
device and even bodily injury or property damage and will void the warranty.
Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases or explosive materials in the
same compartment as your device, its parts or accessories.

About the Radio Frequency Exposure
This device meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves. This
device is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure
to radio frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission
of the U.S. Government.
The exposure standard for wireless 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.
Regulatory Information 9-5
*Tests for SAR are conducted using standard operating positions accepted 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 poser required to reach the network. In general, the
closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power output.
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when tested for use
at the ear is 0.588 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user
guide, is 0.508 W/kg. (Body-worn measurements differ among device models,
depending upon available enhancements 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.
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this device with all reported
SAR levels evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR
information on this 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:
QYLMH132.
For body worn operation, this device has been tested and meets the FCC RF
exposure guidelines for use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions
the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from the body. Use of other enhancements may
not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines.
