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, MiTAC 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.
![](/img.php?id=1157370&img=bg4.png)
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.

About Your Phone
Select models are equipped with the HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet
Access) module. HSDPA is an enhanced 3G (third generation) mobile
telephony communications protocol. It can operate on 850/900/1800/1900/
2100MHz.
To use the phone, you need to first set up an account with a mobile phone
network service. The functions available to you depend on the services
offered by your mobile phone network service provider and your type of
subscription.
Your service provider will provide you with a SIM card. This card contains
your mobile phone account details and rights, contacts that can be stored
and any additional services to which you have subscribed. You must install a
SIM card before you can make or receive phone calls or use wireless data
services. (See ‚Installing the SIM Card and Battery‛ in Chapter 1 for
installation instructions.)

Chapter 4
Managing Your
Device
This chapter tells you how to effectively manage power, settings, data and
programs of your device.
Managing Power
A fully charged battery should provide power for up to 8 hours of use. The
operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using the
device. Some functions, such as using multimedia or operating a SD/MMC
card, may consume the battery power considerably.
Low Battery Signals and Actions
You can monitor the battery power by tapping Settings System
Power. The remaining power is displayed on a status bar in the Power
control panel.
When the battery is low, your device will pop up a warning message and a
beep will sound. You should save your data and recharge the battery
immediately upon a warning of low power; otherwise your device will turn
![](/img.php?id=1157370&img=bg38.png)
off automatically. You need to connect the device to external AC power for
charging before you can use it again.
Power-Saving Tips
Follow these suggestions to maximize the battery’s operating time,
particularly when you are relying solely on the battery power for extended
time periods.
Suspend frequently.
By default, the screen backlight will automatically dim out and the
device will also suspend when it has been idle for a period of time. You
can shorten the length of the idle time using Settings System
Power Advanced to set up.
Press the power button to suspend your device when it is not in use,
even for a short time.
Turn off functions not needed or adjust settings.

More Programs
In addition to Microsoft Pocket Outlook, there are other programs built into
your device. This chapter tells you how to use these programs.
Help
ActiveSync
ActiveSync on your device works with ActiveSync on a Windows XP
computer and with Windows Mobile Device Center on a Windows Vista
computer.
When you have established the connection between your device and your
computer, you can synchronize the information between the two with
ActiveSync. Synchronization compares the data on the two sides and
updates both computers with the most recent information. For example, you
can:
Keep your Pocket Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks databases
up-to-date by synchronizing your device with Microsoft Outlook data on
your computer.
Synchronize e-mail messages in your device Outlook Inbox with e-mail
messages in Microsoft Outlook on your computer.
Synchronize Microsoft Word, Excel and PowerPoint files between your
device and computer. Your files are automatically converted to the
correct format.
![](/img.php?id=1157370&img=bg4a.png)
You can select which information types are synchronized and control how
much data is synchronized. (See the ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device
Center help on your computer.)

Important instructions
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. *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.
![](/img.php?id=1157370&img=bg6f.png)
The highest SAR value for the device as reported to the FCC when tested for
