NOTE: After changing the battery, please make sure you fasten the battery cover.  CAUTION: RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY AN INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF BATTERIES ACCORDING TO THE PRODUCT DISPOSAL NOTICE ON PAGE 22.  Charging your SoMo 650  1.   Connect the AC adapter to the DC-in connector on the left side of the device, as shown below. See “Left” on page 7 for the location of the DC-in connector. Alternatively, you can use the desktop cradle, if included with your version of the SoMo 650.   2.   Plug the AC adapter into a suitable wall socket.   NOTE: The SoMo 650 should be charged for 4 hours before first use. Afterwards, charge the device as needed according to its battery level.   NOTE: While charging, the power LED will be red. When charging is complete, it will change to green. For more information about the LEDs, please refer to page 19.   NOTE: The charging cradle included with the SoMo 650 provides a compartment for charging an extra battery. You can charge an extra battery and the SoMo 650 simultaneously in the cradle.
 10  Setting up your SoMo 650   NOTE: Make sure your SoMo 650 is fully charged before proceeding.  1. Disable the hold switch (found on the left side of your SoMo 650) by moving it up to the unlocked position. See “Left” on page 7 for the location of the hold switch. 2. Turn on your SoMo 650 by pressing the power button on the front (top right-hand corner). See “Front” on page 6 for the location of the power button. 3. Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your SoMo 650.   Installing Microsoft ActiveSync on your desktop/laptop computer   NOTE: This step is not required if your computer is running Windows Vista.   NOTE: Do not connect your SoMo 650 to your desktop/laptop computer until ActiveSync has been installed.  1. Close any programs running on your computer. 2. Insert the SoMo 650 Companion CD into the computer's CD-ROM drive. The CD's welcome page will appear. 3. Click the animated forward icon to proceed to the next screen. 4. Follow the instructions to install Microsoft ActiveSync. 5. After installation, the ActiveSync icon will appear on your computer’s system tray (usually on the lower right-hand corner of the screen).      NOTE: Refer to the ActiveSync software online Help for information on how to use the software. If at any time, you would like to restart this setup program, simply re-insert the CD into the CD-ROM drive.
 11  Connecting your SoMo 650 to your computer  Plug the USB synchronization cable into the connector on the bottom of your SoMo 650. Plug the other end of the USB synchronization cable into a suitable USB port on your computer (it is recommend that you also connect the AC adapter, either as shown below, or as shown in “Charging your SoMo 650” on page 9).                 to computer USB port               NOTE: You can also charge your SoMo 650 in its cradle, if included with your version of the device. The cradle has a connector for the USB synchronization cable and DC-in at the back, as well as two USB ports, which can be used for USB devices such as a keyboard or mouse.
 12  Using Microsoft ActiveSync for the first time   NOTE: For computers running Windows Vista, the Windows Mobile Device Center will appear instead.  When you connect your SoMo 650 to your computer for the first time, the 'New Partnership' setup wizard will automatically appear on your computer screen.     NOTE: If the wizard does not automatically appear, open ActiveSync manually by clicking the Windows Start menu > All Programs > Microsoft ActiveSync.  Follow the setup wizard’s simple instructions. Once completed, the first synchronization will start automatically. After the synchronization is complete, you will see that the Calendar, Contacts and Tasks on your SoMo 650 have been updated. The next time you wish to use ActiveSync, you just need to plug your SoMo 650 into your computer. ActiveSync will then open automatically and update your device.
 13  Controlling the SoMo 650  Buttons  Your SoMo 650 has several buttons, as follows:  • Power button • Left programmable application button (defaulted to Voice Notes      default) • Right programmable application button (defaulted to Radio Manager) • Calendar shortcut button • Contacts shortcut button • 5-way navigation button • Messaging shortcut button • Today shortcut button  For more information on the position of these buttons, see “SoMo 650 tour” on page 6.  Hold switch  The hold switch can be used to put the SoMo 650 in rest mode, so any applications or wireless connections running on your device will remain active, but the buttons and screen will be disabled in order to prevent accidental input. To put your device on hold, move the switch in the down position. For more information on the position of these buttons, see “SoMo 650 tour” on page 6.   NOTE: The hold switch is not related to the software lock function accessible from the Today screen.
 14  Stylus  You can use the stylus in three ways. • Tap an item: Use to select an option, similar to left-clicking a computer      mouse. • Tap and hold an item: Reveals a submenu, if available. Similar to      right- clicking a computer mouse. • Drag: Hold the stylus against the screen and drag to highlight multiple         items, or to move the position of an item. Similar to left-clicking and      dragging a computer mouse.   NOTE: Alternatively, if you are using the SoMo 650, you can enter information by docking the SoMo in the cradle and using the cradle’s two USB ports to connect a keyboard and/or mouse.  Start menu  From the Start menu, you can access programs, settings and Help topics. The Start menu can be accessed by tapping  .  Online help  Your SoMo 650 contains online help files. These can be accessed in two main ways:  1.   Press   > Help > Contents for a list of Help topics. 2.   To access Help for any particular application, open the application and then tap   > Help.
 15  Resetting your SoMo 650  If your SoMo 650 ever stops responding to buttons or screen taps, perform a reset. There are two types of reset, as follows:   Soft reset  A soft reset is similar to rebooting a computer. No files are deleted during a sort reset.  To perform a soft reset: Using the tip of your stylus, lightly press the Reset button inside the hole on the bottom of your SoMo 650. For more information on the location of the Reset button, see “Bottom” on page 8.   Clean reset  A clean reset is more powerful than a soft reset. It will delete files and folders and should only be carried out if a soft reset fails to solve the problem. When you perform a clean reset, formats, preferences and other settings including date and time are restored to their factory default settings. All data, records and entries, except for those stored in ROM, will be erased. To perform a clean reset: Press and hold the Left Programmable Application Button, the Calendar and Contacts shortcut buttons on your SoMo 650. For more information on the location of these buttons, see “Front” on page 6. While holding the three buttons, using the tip of your stylus, lightly press the Reset button inside the hole on the bottom of your SoMo 650. Continue to hold the three until the Socket Splash Screen (pictured at right) appears, at this point stop pressing the three buttons, and follow the on screen instructions.   For more information on the location of the Reset button, see “Bottom” on page 8.
 16  Upgrading the Firmware ADVANCED USERS ONLY!  You can download firmware upgrades from the Socket website ( www.socketmobile.com/support/downloads ).  To upgrade your firmware:  •  Format SD card by FAT (FAT16).  •  Save the downloaded firmware upgrade to an SD card, then insert it into your SoMo 650.    •  With the SoMo 650 already switched on, hold the right programmable application button, and while this button is still being pressed, use the stylus to press and release the reset button on the bottom of the device.   •  Keep the the right programmable application button pressed until you see “EBOOT”, then wait until after it counts down to zero before releasing.   •  The firmware upgrading process will then begin. Do not press any buttons while the upgrade is in progress.  •  Once the upgrade is complete, the SoMo 650 will reboot normally.
