1.2 User and Product Safety
x Do not stare into the laser or LED beam directly or shine it into eyes.
x Never use strong pressure onto the screen or subject it to severe impact, as the LCD panel
could become cracked and possibility cause personal injury. If the LCD panel is broken,
never touch the liquid inside because the liquid irritates the skin.
x Although the PDT has passed the test of IP54 standard for water and dust resistance,
avoid prolonged exposure to rain or other concentrated moisture. Such conditions exceeds
the IP54 standard, and could result in water or other contaminants entering into the PDT.
xUse only the original approved AC Adapter with the PDT. Use of an unapproved AC
Adapter could result in electrical problems, or even cause a fire or electrical shock to the
user.
xDo not disassemble the PDT. Servicing should be done by Opticon only. If the PDT or
accessories gets damaged due to wrong handling or unauthorized repair, warranty is void.
In case the warranty seals are broken, warranty is void too.
x Make regularly back-ups of all important data.
x Under no circumstance will Opticon be liable for any direct, indirect, consequential or
incidental damages aging out of the use or inability to use both the hardware and software

Synchronize folders while connected:
When you synchronize folders, the contents of your device folders and mail server
folders are compared and updated. New mail messages are downloaded, and
messages in your device Outbox folder are sent. The synchronization behavior
depends on how you connect to your mail server.
¾When you connect to a POP3 server, the Inbox and Outbox folders on your device
are synchronized with the corresponding folders on the mail server. To synchronize
after the initial connection, select Services> Send/Receive Mail.
¾When you connect to an IMAP4 server, Inbox, Outbox, and all folders marked as
offline are synchronized. To synchronize all folders after the initial connection,
select Services> Synchronize Folders. To synchronize just the selected folder
and the Outbox folder, select Services> Send/Receive Mail.

¾In list view, select Compose> New Message
¾Enter the address of one or more recipients, separating them with a semicolon. If
the recipient is listed in the Address Book, enter a few letters of the recipient’s

address is inserted. If there is more than one match, select the correct address
from the Choose E-mail Recipients dialog box. If there is no match then add a

9Download message from the server:
When you download messages, you need to create two connections: a remote
connection and a mail server connection. The remote connection connects you and your
ISP or network. The mail server connection downloads messages from your mail server
to Inbox on your device. When you select Services> Connect in Inbox, Inbox starts a
remote connection using the connection you specified when setting up the current mail
service. If you are already connected through a remote connection other than the one you
specified in the service, you will be asked if you want to use the current connection. If you
choose not to, you will need to disconnect from the current connection before you can
check for new messages.
¾Select the Services menu and make sure that the service you want to use is
selected (the selected service has a bullet next to it.)
¾Select Services> Connect. The messages on your device and mail server are
synchronized: new messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder,
messages in the device Outbox folder are sent, and messages that have been
deleted on the server are removed from the device Inbox. Double-tap a message
list to open it.
¾If you read a message and decide that you need the full copy, select File> Get
Full Copy while in the message window or Services> Get Full Copy while in list
view. This will also download message attachments and meeting requests if you
have those options selected in the Inbox Preferences dialog box. You can also

zWhen using IMAP4 to get Outlook + data, you will see the contents of your Journal folder.
File editing transactions and documents (such as Task items, e-mail message, and Word
documents) attached using drag and drop will appear as shortcuts on the device. A copy
of the document will not be moved to your device, and the shortcut on the device cannot
be used to access the documents associated with a journal entry to the device, attach
the document to the entry rather than dragging and dropping it. Also, be sure to set your

will appear as an icon at the bottom of the message in its own window pane. If you
don’t see this pane, select File> Attachments> Show Attachments. If TNEF is
turned on so you can receive meeting requests, you will not see attachments until they
are fully downloaded.
¾To mark an attachment for downloading in a POP3 or IMAP4 service, double-click it.
