8.1 Ways of Connecting to the Internet
Your device’s networking capabilities allow you to access the Internet or your
corporate network at work through one of the following connections:
•
Wi-Fi
•
GPRS or EDGE
•
Dial-up
Note
You can also add and set up the following connections:
• VPN: A VPN connection is used to access your corporate network by using an
existing Internet connection.
• Proxy: A Proxy connection is used to access the Internet using an existing
connection to your corporate or WAP network.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi provides wireless Internet access over distances of up to 300 feet (100 meters).
To use Wi-Fi on your device, you need access to a wireless access point or “hotspot”.
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.
To turn Wi-Fi on and off
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab.
2. On the Settings screen, tap Communications > Wi-Fi to enable/disable the
wireless function.
When enabled, the On indicator is activated and available wireless networks
will be detected.
To connect to a wireless network
After Wi-Fi is turned on, your device scans for available wireless networks in your
area.
Internet 137
1. The network names of the detected wireless
networks are displayed on a pop-up message
window. Tap the desired wireless network,
then tap OK.
Note When you select an open (unsecured)
network, you will be automatically connected
to the network after tapping OK. You do not
need to do steps 2 and 3.
2. On the next pop-up message window, do one
of the following:
•
Tap The Internet if the wireless network
connects your device to the Internet.
•
Tap Work if the wireless network connects
your device to a private network.
3. Enter the key and then tap Connect.
Next time you use your device to detect wireless networks, you will not see the
pop-up message windows again, and you will not be prompted to enter the
network key of the previously accessed wireless network (unless you perform a
hard reset which will erase custom settings on your device).
Note
Wi-Fi networks are self-discoverable, which means no additional steps are required for
your device to connect to a Wi-Fi network. It may be necessary to provide a username
and password for certain closed wireless networks.

9.1 Bluetooth Modes
Bluetooth is a short-range wireless communications technology. Devices with
Bluetooth capabilities can exchange information over a distance of about eight
meters without requiring a physical connection.
Bluetooth on your device operates in three different modes:
• On. Bluetooth is turned on. Your device can detect other Bluetooth-enabled
devices, but not vice versa.
• Visible. Bluetooth is turned on, and all other Bluetooth-enabled devices can
detect your device.
• Off. Bluetooth is turned off. In this mode, you can neither send nor receive
information using Bluetooth.
Notes
• By default, Bluetooth is turned off. If you turn it on, then turn off your device,
Bluetooth also turns off. When you turn on your device again, Bluetooth
automatically turns on.
• Turn off Bluetooth when not in use to conserve battery power, or in places where
using a wireless device is prohibited, such as on board an aircraft and in hospitals.
To turn Bluetooth on and make your device visible
1. On the Home screen, slide to the Settings tab and then tap Menu >
Bluetooth Devices > Mode tab.
2. Select the Turn on Bluetooth and Make this device visible to other devices
check boxes.
3. Tap OK. The Title bar will show
mode.
to indicate that the device is in Visible
To turn off Bluetooth visibility after a certain period of time
You can automatically turn off Bluetooth visibility after a specified period of time.

up to 16 characters.
5. Tap Next.
6. Wait for the paired device to accept the partnership. The receiving party
needs to enter the same passcode that you specified.
7. After the receiving party enters the passcode, a message box appears on your
device confirming the partnership.
Tip
Tap Advanced to change the paired device name and to set the services you
want to use for the paired device. After setting the name and options, tap Save.
8. Tap Done.
Note
Creating a Bluetooth partnership between two devices is a one-time process. Once
a partnership is created, the devices can recognize the partnership and exchange
information without entering a passcode again.

not contain any metal.
•
Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your
local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement
•
This Transmitter has been demonstrated co-location compliance
requirements with Bluetooth / Model No:OPAL and WiFi / Model No:OPAL100

•
This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for
an uncontrolled environment.
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
Appendix 275
•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.
Cautions
In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) of the United States
with its action in Report and Order FCC 96-326 adopted an updated safety standard
for human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy emitted by FCC
regulated transmitters. Those guidelines are consistent with the safety standard
previously set by both U.S. and international standards bodies. The design of this
phone complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards. Use
only the supplied or an approved antenna. Unauthorized antennas, modifications,
276 Appendix
or attachments could impair call quality, damage the phone, or result in violation
of FCC regulations. Do not use the phone with a damaged antenna. If a damaged
antenna comes into contact with the skin, a minor burn may result. Please contact
your local dealer for replacement antenna.
Body-worn operation
This device was tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of the
phone kept 1.5 cm from the body. To maintain compliance with FCC RF exposure
requirements, use only belt-clips, holsters or similar accessories that maintain a
1.5 cm separation distance between the user’s body and the back of the phone,
including the antenna. The use of belt-clips, holsters and similar accessories should
not contain metallic components in its assembly. The use of accessories that do not
satisfy these requirements may not comply with FCC RF exposure requirements,
and should be avoided.

Safety Information
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.
Appendix 277
•
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.
WEEE Notice
The Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which entered
into force as European law on 13th February 2003, resulted in a major change in the
treatment of electrical equipment at end-of-life.
The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE, and
in addition, to promote the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such
wastes so as to reduce disposal.
278 Appendix
The WEEE logo (shown at the left) on the product or on its box indicates
that this product must not be disposed of or dumped with your other
household waste. You are liable to dispose of all your electronic or
electrical waste equipment by relocating over to the specified collection
point for recycling of such hazardous waste. Isolated collection and
proper recovery of your electronic and electrical waste equipment at
the time of disposal will allow us to help conserving natural resources.
Moreover, proper recycling of the electronic and electrical waste
equipment will ensure safety of human health and environment. For
more information about electronic and electrical waste equipment
disposal, recovery, and collection points, please contact your local
city center, household waste disposal service, shop from where you
purchased the equipment, or manufacturer of the equipment.
RoHS Compliance
This product is in compliance with Directive 2002/95/EC of the European
Parliament and of the Council of 27 January 2003, on the restriction of the use of
