Your device gives you instant access to your company e-mails and lets
you manage your messages easier. Direct Push, Fetch Mail, Remote e-mail
search, and e-mail flags are just some of the tools you can use to manage
your e-mails.
Note Some messaging features depend on the Microsoft Exchange Server version
used in your company. Please check with your network administrator for the
availability of these features.
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.
132 Working With Company E-mails and Meeting Appointments
You need to perform a full synchronization between your device and the
Exchange Server first before Direct Push can be enabled.
Requirement The Direct Push feature works for your device only if your company
is using Microsoft Exchange Server 2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2)
with Exchange ActiveSync or higher version.
To enable Direct Push via Comm Manager
1. Tap Start > Programs > Comm Manager.
2. On the Comm Manager screen, tap the DirectPush button to enable

If you do not want to use Direct Push, you can set a regular schedule for
synchronizing Outlook e-mail and information.
1. In ActiveSync on your device, tap Menu > Schedule.
2. Select a shorter time interval in the Peak times box for you to be able
to receive e-mails more frequently. (Peak times which usually refer to
your working hours when e-mail volume is high).

need for you to perform a full Send/Receive action. This limits the download
to just the e-mail message that you want and helps save data cost.

Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or higher.
1. Tap Start > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.

174 Using GPS
11.1 Guidelines and Preparation for Using GPS
•Do not operate the GPS system while driving. The plotted GPS route
is only for driving reference. It should not interfere with actual driving
behavior.
•Please use the GPS system cautiously. Users shall be liable for any
damages resulting from negligent operation of the system.
• The GPS signal cannot pass
through solid non-transparent
objects. Signal reception may be
affected by obstructions such
as high-rise buildings, tunnels,
bridges, forests, weather (rainy or
cloudy days), etc. If the vehicle’s
visor contains metal, it will be
difficult for the GPS signal to
pass through. For better signal
reception, connect your device to
an external GPS antenna.
External GPS
antenna connector
• Wireless communication products (such as mobile phones or radar-
detecting devices) may interfere with the satellite signal, resulting in
unstable signal reception.
• The Global Positioning System (GPS) is built and operated by the US
Defense Department. The Department is responsible for the accuracy
and maintenance of the system. Any changes that the Department
makes may affect the accuracy and function of the GPS system.
• Do not leave your device in a vehicle or expose the device to direct
sunlight to avoid overheating the battery, which could pose damage
to the device or risk to the vehicle.
Using GPS 175
•When using the device inside a vehicle, use the car holder to mount
the device securely in place. Avoid placing the device in the areas
shown in the following diagram:
1 Do not place where it will block the driver’s vision.

11.2 Downloading Satellite Data via QuickGPS
Before you start to use your device for GPS navigation, open the QuickGPS
program first to download ephemeris data (current satellite position and
timing information) onto your device. This data is needed to determine the
GPS position of your current location.
QuickGPS downloads ephemeris data from a Web server, instead of from
the satellites, using the Internet connection on your device, which can
be via ActiveSync or 3G/GPRS. This significantly speeds up the time for
determining your GPS position.
To open QuickGPS
Tap Start > Programs > QuickGPS.
To download data
Tap Download on the QuickGPS screen.
On the screen, initially, you will see the Valid
time of the downloaded data. As time passes,
the remaining days and hours of validity will
be shown.

designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in
a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate
radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with
the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a
particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to
radio or TV reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment
on and off, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one
or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that
to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio or television technician for
help.
Appendix 235
Modifications
The FCC requires the user to be notified that any changes or modifications
made to the device that are not expressly approved by High Tech Computer
Corporation may void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
Safety precautions for RF exposure
• Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories
that do not contain any metal.
• Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate
your local RF exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
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
236 Appendix
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.
Body-worn measurements were tested for typical body-worn operations
with the back of the device kept 1.5 cm from the body.

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.
Appendix 237
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.
