T|X Handheld 118CHAPTER 9 Your EmailWorking with Microsoft Exchange ActiveSyncMicrosoft Exchange ActiveSync works with the VersaMail and Calendar applications on your handheld to directly access corporate groupware information on a Microsoft Exchange 2003 server. You can access business email and calendar info on the Exchange 2003 server from your handheld without using a desktop computer.When you create a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account in the VersaMail application, both your email and calendar info synchronize directly with the Exchange server; information does not synchronize with the desktop software application on your computer, such as Microsoft Outlook or Palm®Desktop software. Other information, such as contacts, tasks, and memos, continues to synchronize with your desktop software.For most VersaMail features, using a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account works the same as using any other type of account. However, certain features—such as automatically retrieving and resending email messages and downloading attachments—work differently for Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync accounts. Also, the account setup procedure is slightly different for a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account. And, with a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account, you can receive and reply to meeting invitations directly from within the VersaMail application.For complete information on using a Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account, see the User Guide for your handheld on the web.

If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, 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/TV technician for help.The use of shielded I/O cables is required when connecting this equipment to any and all optional peripheral or host devices. Failure to do so may violate FCC rules.Changes or modifications not covered in this manual must be approved in writing by the manufacturer’s Regulatory Engineering Department. Changes or modifications made without written approval may void the user’s authority to operate this equipment.In August 1996, the 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 product complies with the FCC guidelines and these international standards.IMPORTANT[!]

To most people, static electricity and ESD are nothing more than annoyances. For example, after walking over a carpet while scuffing your feet, building up electrons on your body, you may get a shock—the discharge event—when you touch a metal doorknob. This little shock discharges the built-up static electricity.
T|X Handheld 155ESD-susceptible equipmentEven a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when working with electronic devices, take measures to help protect your electronic devices, including your Palm® handheld, from ESD harm. While Palm has built protections against ESD into its products, ESD unfortunately exists and, unless neutralized, could build up to levels that could harm your equipment. Any electronic device that contains an external entry point for plugging in anything from cables to docking stations is susceptible to entry of ESD. Devices that you carry with you, such as your handheld, build up ESD in a unique way because the static electricity that may have built up on your body is automatically passed to the device. Then, when the device is connected to another device such as a docking station, a discharge event can occur. Precautions against ESDMake sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from yourself and your electronic devices before touching an electronic device or connecting one device to another. The recommendation from Palm is that you take this precaution before connecting your handheld to your computer, placing the handheld in a cradle, or connecting it to any other device. You can do this in many ways, including the following: • Ground yourself when you’re holding your mobile device by simultaneously touching a metal surface that is at earth ground. For example, if your computer has a metal case and is plugged into a standard three-prong grounded outlet, touching the case should discharge the ESD on your body.• Increase the relative humidity of your environment.• Install ESD-specific prevention items, such as grounding mats.
T|X Handheld 156Conditions that enhance ESD occurrencesConditions that can contribute to the buildup of static electricity in the environment include the following:• Low relative humidity.• Material type (The type of material gathering the charge. For example, synthetics are more prone to static buildup than natural fibers like cotton.)• The rapidity with which you touch, connect, or disconnect electronic devices.While you should always take appropriate precautions to discharge static electricity, if you are in an environment where you notice ESD events, you may want to take extra precautions to protect your electronic equipment against ESD.
