Battery Charger
1 Attach the battery charger to your device.
Locate the battery charger that came in the box with your
device. Insert the charger’s USB lead (plug) into your device’s
USB port. Now plug the power cord into a standard electrical
wall outlet.
Your device comes with a removable, rechargeable lithium-ion
battery. When you first receive your device, it is important that
you fully charge the battery, described below.
! Only use the charger and battery provided with your device
or approved by T-Mobile, or you risk damaging your device. Do
not insert battery chargers from previous Sidekick models into
the stereo headset jack.
If you attach your device to your computer via USB, be aware
that the power received may not be enough to charge your
device. For example, when computers are in “sleep” mode,
only a trickle charge may be supplied via USB. In this situation
you can lose more power than you gain.
-14-
An 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.
Removable Battery
2 Let the device charge for at least four (4) hours.
Put the device in a safe place and let the battery charge for at
least four hours with the device powered on.
As the device is charging, 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.
To replace your rechargeable battery, or if you need to insert or
remove your SIM card, first you will need to remove the installed
battery. Begin by powering down your device:
1 Press and hold the power button three seconds to power
down.
2 Turn the device over. With the camera at the top, slide the
cover to the right by carefully pressing the raised line on the
cover with your left thumb. Lift the cover to remove it.
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 to
recharge.

memory card. To insert or remove the memory card, you must
first remove the back cover as described in “Removable Battery”,

Registration
USB / Power Port
The USB/power port is located on the top left edge of your
device. With a flash memory card installed, you can manage the
contents of the card by connecting a USB cable to the device
and your computer.
Before you can start using your Sidekick, you must complete
registration. This section of the guide takes you through
registration in more detail. Note that these instructions are for
new users, not returning users. Returning users can sign in using
their username/password.
1 Wait for account activation.
Before you can use your account, your account must be
activated. This can take up to 48 hours, but usually takes
only 1-3 hours. While you wait, step through the screens that
appear. If applicable, you’ll be given the opportunity to select
your language. When you see the Welcome screen, you’ll
know your device has been activated:
The memory card will appear as a drive on your computer, and
you will be able to add or remove music or image files using your
computer’s file system. Remember that you cannot transfer files
unless you have first installed a memory card. For instructions on
installing, read “Memory Card Slot” on page 17.
While your device is connected to your computer via the
USB port, the memory card contents are not available for
playing music or viewing photos from your device.

name, scroll down to highlight the Next button, then press the
trackball to advance to the next screen.
3 Select a username.
The username you type will become the first part of your
email address (for example, username@example.com).
Before you select a username, read the following:
n Usernames must start with an alphabetic character (A‑Z)
and can include numbers (0-9), dashes (-), periods (.), and
underscores (_), but no other punctuation. Although you
can use periods within a username, do not use a period
at the beginning or end of the name, and do not use two
periods (..) in a row.
n Usernames must be at least 2 but no more than 32
characters long.
Press the trackball to select the New User button and advance
to the next screen. On subsequent screens, select the Next
button to advance.
2 Type your first name and last name.
Use the keyboard to type your First name, then roll the
trackball down to highlight the Last name field. Type your last
-19-
Usernames are not case-sensitive. For example, if your
username is “bridget”, you will be authenticated if you sign
in by typing “Bridget”, “BRIDGET”, or any combination of
upper or lowercase letters.
Once you decide on a username, type it in the text box, then
select Next.
4 Select a password.
Select a secure password that follows the rules below:
n Passwords cannot be the same as your username.
n Passwords must contain 4-15 characters, can include
both letters and numbers, but no spaces, single quotes ('),
semicolons (;), backslashes (\), or percent signs (%).
n For enhanced security, do not choose an actual word
that appears in any language dictionary. Do not choose
a proper name, such as the name of a child, local sports
team, pet’s name, or city of birth. Do not choose adjacent
letters on your keyboard or a sequential or repeating
combination of letters or characters, such as “12345678”,
“222222”, “abcdefg”.
n 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.
-20-
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.
You will see feedback on how secure your password is.
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, for security purposes,
T‑Mobile Customer Care will ask you to provide an answer
to the “secret question” you select on this screen. Press
the trackball to open the Question pop-up menu, scroll to
highlight a question, then press the trackball to select it.
Roll the trackball down to highlight the Answer field, then
type your answer. When finished, select Next to continue.
7 Read and agree to the end-user license agreement.
Before you can finish registration, you must read and agree to
the end-user license agreement. You can read it by selecting
the on-screen View Agreement link or from the Desktop
Interface. Once you read the end-user agreement, select the
Next button to indicate your acceptance and transmit your
registration data.
8 Wait while data transmits.
Wait while the data you entered in the Registration screens
transmits to T-Mobile. The service will check to see if your
username already has been taken. If it has, you will be
offered alternatives. You can select one of these alternatives
or type a different username. Note that if you are out of
