T-Mobile Wi-Fi network in convenient locations across the U.S., such as
airports, coffeehouses, bookstores, universities, and more. It is great for e-
mail, Web browsing, and other high-bandwidth applications. Contact
T-Mobile to add T-Mobile Hotspot service to your data plan.
Note The availability and range of your device’s Wi-Fi signal depends on the
number, infrastructure, and other objects through which the signal passes.

Automatic synchronization through Direct Push
Direct Push technology (push e-mail feature) enables you to receive new
e-mails on your device as soon as they arrive in your Inbox on the Exchange
Server. With this feature, items such as contacts, calendar and tasks are
also immediately updated onto your device when these items have been
changed or new entries have been added on the Exchange Server. To make
Direct Push work, you need to have a GPRS connection on your device.
You need to perform a full synchronization between your device and the
Exchange Server first before Direct Push can be enabled.

E-mail name, Display name, E-mail address, or Office location.
10.5 E-mail Security
Windows Mobile on your device protects your Outlook e-mails through
Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension (S/MIME), which allows you to
digitally sign and encrypt your messages.
Digitally signing a message applies your certificate with the authorization
key to the message. This proves to the recipient that the message is from
you and not from an imposter or a hacker, and that the message has not
been altered.
Encryption protects the privacy of your message by converting it from
plain, readable text into cipher (scrambled) text. Only the recipient who has
the authorization key can decipher the message.
Requirement S/MIME encryption and digital signatures for Windows
Mobile-based devices are available only with Exchange
Server 2003 SP2 or a later version that supports S/MIME. If
you are not using one of these products, or have not yet
synchronized, these options are unavailable.
164 Using Outlook with Exchange Server
Note You can encrypt a message with or without a certificate. However, to read an
encrypted message, you need a valid certificate to decrypt it.
To individually sign and encrypt a new message
1. Tap Start > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.
2. Tap Menu > New to create a new message.
3. Tap Menu > Message Options.
4. From the Security list, select whether to encrypt only, sign the

About licenses and protected files
Some content (such as digital media files downloaded from the Internet,
CD tracks, and videos) have associated licenses that protect them from
being unlawfully distributed or shared. Licenses are created and managed
by using digital rights management (DRM), which is the technology for
securing content and managing its access rights. Some licenses may
prevent you from playing files that have been copied to your device. Files
that have licenses associated with them are called “protected files.”
If you want to copy a protected file from your PC to your device, use the
desktop Player to synchronize the file to your device (instead of dragging
the file from a folder on your PC to a folder on your device, for example).
This will ensure that the license is copied along with the protected file. For
more information about synchronizing files to your device and other mobile
devices, see desktop Player Help.
Note You can view the protection status for a file by checking its file properties
(tapping Menu > Properties).
Experiencing Multimedia 187
Copy media files to your device
Use the latest version of the desktop Player (Windows Media Player 10 or
later) to synchronize digital media files to your device (instead of dragging a
file from a folder on your PC to a folder on your device, for example). Using
the desktop Player ensures that licenses are copied with protected files.
Always synchronize the files to a storage card that is inserted into your
device. Do not synchronize to a storage card that is inserted into a storage
card reader. In addition, do not synchronize to the internal storage location
(RAM) in your device.
To synchronize content to your device automatically
1. Power off your device. Insert a 32MB or larger storage card into your
device, and turn the power back on.
2. On your PC, start Windows Media Player.
3. Connect your device to your PC.

that you want to synchronize.
6. Click Finish.
7. The files begin synchronizing to your device. The next time you
connect your device to your PC while the desktop version of Windows
Media Player is running, synchronization will start automatically.
To synchronize and copy content manually to your device
1. If you have not set up synchronization between your device and
PC, follow steps 1 to 6 in “To synchronize content to your device
automatically”, except that you should click Manual synchronization.
2. To choose files to synchronize and copy to your device, do the
following:

192 Managing Your Pocket PC Phone
12.1 Adding and Removing Programs
Before you purchase additional programs for your device, you should note
the model name of your device, the version of Windows Mobile software
running on it, and the type of processor. This information will help you
select a program that is compatible with your device. For more information,
see “To get detailed device information” and “To find the operating system
version number” in this chapter.
Programs available for purchase usually include a Setup program
(commonly named "setup.exe") that you must first run on your PC. You can
then use ActiveSync to add programs to your device, or add a program
directly from the Internet.
To add programs
1. Download the program to your PC (or insert the CD or disk that
contains the program into your PC). You may see a single *.exe file,
a *.zip file, a Setup.exe file, or several versions of files for different
device types and processors. Be sure to select a program designed for
your device and processor type.
2. Read any installation instructions or documentation that comes with
the program. Many programs provide special installation instructions.
3. Connect your device to the PC.
4. Double-click the *.exe file.
• If the executable file is an installation wizard, follow the
instructions on the screen. The wizard will automatically install the
program to your device.

Appendix 219
Exposure to radio frequency (RF) signals
Your device contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output
power is far below the international radio frequency exposure limits. These
limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels
of RF energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the
safety standards previously set by international standards bodies:
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP).
Report 86. 1986
• International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection
(ICNIRP) 1996
• Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. 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 phones employs a unit of
measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.
The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional
protection for the public and to account for any variations in usage. As
with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for
satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it
is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too
close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
Your device has an internal antenna. Use only the supplied integral antenna.
Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and
damage the phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding
the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance with local
regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF
energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always
use your device only in its normal-use position. Do not touch or hold the
antenna area unnecessarily when placing or receiving a phone call. Contact
with the antenna area may impair call quality and cause your device to
operate at a higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the
antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance
and the battery life.

Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a
minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld
wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the
pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent
research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research.
Persons with pacemakers:
• Should ALWAYS keep the phone more than six inches from their
pacemaker when the phone is turned ON.
• Should not carry the phone in a breast pocket.
• Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential
for interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is
taking place, turn the phone OFF immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the
event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider,
or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer
of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external
RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this
information.
Turn the phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in
these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be
using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
Appendix 221
Other tips and cautions
• Avoid using the phone near metal structures (for example, the steel
frame of a building).
• Avoid using the phone near strong electromagnetic sources, such as
microwave ovens, sound speakers, TV and radio.
• Avoid using the phone after a dramatic change in temperature.
