When you first receive your device, it is important that you fully charge the battery, as described in the following steps. Only use the charger (wall adapter) and battery provided with your device or approved by T-Mobile, or you risk damaging your device.1  Attach the battery charger to your device.Locate the battery charger that came in the box with your device. Insert the charger lead (the small round end of the cord) into your device’s power jack (the small round hole located on the upper right side of your device) and plug the power cord into a standard electrical wall outlet.         The orange charge indicator light will go on and a lightning bolt icon will appear over the battery icon in the title bar, indicating the charger is connected and the battery is charging. Note that if your device has discharged completely, it may take up to 15 minutes before you see any indication of charging on the screen.  Device Basics  13!
2  Let the device charge for at least four (4) hours, until fully charged.Rest the device in a safe place and let the battery charge for at least four hours. When you first receive your device, you must fully charge the battery for the system to perform battery-reading calibration and deliver full capacity.As the device is charging, you will see the bars in the battery icon fill repeatedly from left to right. When your device is fully-charged, the lightning bolt icon will disappear and the bars will stop moving and remain in the filled position.For efficient operation, charge your device nightly. If you plan to leave your device unattended for an extended period of time, be aware that the battery will discharge after two days if it is turned on and not attached to the charger. If your device does fully discharge, simply attach it to the charger; all your data should be restored.

Make sure the two side brackets are on top of the card, holding the card into place. 4  To remove the SIM card, insert your nail or paper clip into the notch in the case located next to the card in order to move the card up slightly. Then gently slide the card out, free of the two brackets.  Device Basics  15

3  Pull the bumper tabs up to separate the bumper from the device. 4  Pull each of the two bumpers free by gently peeling and lifting away from the device. 5  To install the new bumpers, turn your device face-up. You can tell which bumper goes on top and which goes below by orienting the control button icons. 6  For each bumper, position the bumper tabs on the front then the back of the device. Insert the tabs into the slots. Press the bumpers in, making sure the tabs snap in securely.   Device Basics  17
7  Once the bumpers are securely fastened, replace the end-cover by first lining up the two tabs, then pushing the cover into place. Make sure the tabs are seated correctly.        8  Replace the battery and back cover as described in “Removable Battery”, steps 4 and 5 on page 15.9  Your device will power on once you insert the battery.Due to the nature of the bumper design, the materials used, and their replaceable nature, the bumpers are not covered by the device warranty.18  Device Basics!
Registering Your DeviceBefore you can start using your Sidekick, you must complete the registration steps, as explained in step 3 in the Start Guide. This section of the Reference Guide takes you through the registration process in more detail. Note that these instructions are for new users, not returning users.

Do not choose adjacent letters on your keyboard or a sequential or repeating combination of letters or characters, such as “12345678”, “222222”, “abcdefg”.20  Device Registration
 For enhanced security, do choose a password that is more than seven characters long, mixes letters and numerals, and uses upper- and lower-case letters.  Passwords are case-sensitive. For example, if you set your password to be “Hard2Guess”, then you will not be authenticated if you sign in by typing “hard2guess”.Type the password in the text box, then type it again to confirm.5  Select your time zone.Open the pop-up menu to see a list of time zones. Select yours from the list, then select Next.6  Select a “secret question” and type your answer.If you ever forget your password, you’ll need to contact your operator’s Customer Care representative.
