Installing the battery pack
Your MC35 uses a high-density removable and rechargeable 1350 mAH Lithium polymer
battery. Refer to the succeeding section for instructions on how to install the battery to
your device.
WARNING! There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery is handled improperly. DO NOT
disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, or dispose the battery in fire or water. DO NOT
attempt to open or service the battery. Dispose of used batteries according to local recycling
guidelines in your area.
A backup battery cell is embedded into your device to prevent data loss in instances
when the removable battery is removed or completely discharged. This backup battery
cell supports the system for a maximum of thirty minutes.
NOTE: To enable the internal battery cell to provide backup power supply, charge your device with
the main battery, for at least four hours.
For information on conserving power consumption to make your battery last longer, refer
to page 187.
To install the battery pack:
Align the tabs on the battery pack with the groove on the MC35, then insert the battery
pack into the back of the device.
The battery cover locks to the chassis with an audible click.

Charging the MC35
For initial use, you need to charge your device for about four hours. After that, charge it
everyday to recharge the battery to full capacity. Charge your device using the USB sync
cable, see instructions below.
To charge your device:
1 Install the replaceable clip plug to the AC adapter.
Slide the clip plug into the clip plug holder on the adapter, then snap into place. The
clip plug locks to the clip plug holder with an audible click.
2 Plug the AC adapter cable into the connector on bottom of the device.
3 Connect the AC adapter power cable into an electrical outlet.
The LED indicator on the front panel light orange when AC connection is made.
LED status during charging:
•Flashing orange: Charging
•Solid orange: Charging complete
If the battery level becomes low in the course of normal use, a status icon appears on the
device screen indicating low or very low battery status (see "Status icons" on page 23).
In both cases, perform an ActiveSync operation to back up your data, then recharge your
device as soon as possible.
If the battery level reaches low status, the device enters sleep mode; if the battery level
reaches very low status, the device enters deep sleep mode. In this case, you have about
72 hours to recharge your device after which you risk losing all data on your device’s
internal memory.
For information on how to wake up your device from sleep mode, refer to page 188.

Starting up MC35
After you have initially charged your device for about four hours, the device is ready for
use. You can now start up your device where you will calibrate the display, learn some
basic stylus usage, and set up the system date and time.
To start up your MC35:
1 Turn on your device by pressing the Power button located on the right side of
the device.
2 Follow the onscreen instructions on the Welcome Screen Wizard.
System procedures
The following sections describe various system procedures that help you use the device
more efficiently.
Recalibrating the screen
When you first startup your MC35, you are asked to calibrate the screen by tapping the
center of a cross with your stylus as it moves around the screen. This process ensures
that when you tap the screen with your stylus the item tapped is activated.
If, however, while using your device, you discover tapping an item does not bring up the
appropriate response, it means your device has lost its calibration.
To recalibrate the screen:
1 Launch the Align Screen window by performing one of the following:
•Software launching
(a) Tap , then Settings.
1 First Things First
System procedures
5
(b) On the System tab, tap the Screen.
(c) On the Screen window, tap the Align Screen button.
•Hardware launching
Simultaneously press the Power button and joystick.
2 Tap the center of the cross with your stylus as it moves around the screen.
Creating backup files
Any additional programs or new data in your device are stored in RAM (random access
memory). These items are lost if you have to perform a hard reset or your device loses all
power for any other reason. Because of this, it is imperative that you regularly back up
files to your computer via ActiveSync or to a storage card using the device’s built-in
SD/MMC slot.
If you have access to your computer, use ActiveSync to synchronize files to create
backup files of information stored on your device. Refer to page 28 for more information
on using ActiveSync.
In instances where you are unable to access your computer, you can back up files to an
SD or MMC card.
You have the following options:
•Back up individual files using the Cut and Paste commands in File Explorer.
•Back up individual Word, Excel or Notes files using the Rename/Move
command. Follow the steps below.
(1) Insert an SD or MMC card into the SD/MMC slot on the top of your device.
See page 18 for instructions on installing an SD/MMC card.
(2) Open the file you want to back up.
(3) Tap Menu, File, then Rename/Move.
(4) On the Rename/Move screen, enter a file name in the Name field.
(5) Tap the Location pick list, then select Storage Card.
(6) Tap the Folder pick list, then select the folder where you want to save the file.
(7) Tap OK.
(8) After the backup process, remove the card from the slot.

Resetting the device
You may have to perform a reset if the device freezes (i.e., device no longer responds to
the buttons on the screen).
To perform a soft reset:
A soft reset allows your device to get a fresh start, similar to rebooting a computer. This
restarts your device and adjust memory allocation. All records and entries are retained
after a soft reset. Unsaved data in open programs may in some cases be lost.
1 Remove the stylus from its holder.
2 Lightly press the tip of the stylus to the reset button located on the lower-left side of
the device.
To perform a hard reset:
A hard reset removes power to your device. This erases all records and entries, deletes
all programs you have added, and restores the device default factory settings. Never
perform a hard reset unless a soft reset does not correct your problem. When you
perform your next ActiveSync operation, you can restore any data that you previously
synchronized to your computer or you can restore data that you backed up to a storage
card.
NOTE: When you perform a hard reset, the date and time settings are not be retained. Formats,
preferences, and other settings are restored to their default factory settings.
1 Hold down the Power and Record buttons.
2 While holding down the Power and Record buttons, gently press the tip of the
stylus to the Reset button.
The message “To clear all data in the memory, press Volume Up button. To cancel
the operation, press Volume Down Button.” appears.
3 Press the Volume key up.
Another message appears requesting confirmation.

Using ActiveSync
Use Microsoft® ActiveSync® technology to synchronize information between your MC35
and your computer and/or a server so you always have the most up-to-date information
wherever you are.
NOTE: You can only synchronize information with a server if your company is running Microsoft
Exchange Server with Exchange ActiveSync.
Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the information on your device with
the information on your computer and/or the server and updates all locations. This
means you’ll always have the most recent information at all times. Use ActiveSync to:
•Keep Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device with the
Microsoft Outlook data, including the Outlook contact’s picture, on your
computer.
•Synchronize Inbox, Calendar, and Contacts with a server so that you have
the latest information, even when you don’t have access to your computer.
•Open and edit your Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files in your device
and synchronize it back to your computer. Files are automatically converted
to the correct format.
•Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and your
computer.
•Control when synchronization occurs by selecting a synchronization
schedule. For example, you can synchronize continually while connected to
your computer or only when you select the synchronize command.
If you choose continuous synchronization, changes made on the computer
or device are duplicated immediately. To recover a sudden loss of data, you
can configure ActiveSync to back up data on your device. Choose whether
to copy all information in the internal storage on your device, or just the
information that has changed since the last backup.

mailbox and text messages—as well as several handy call features including Speed Dial,
Caller ID, Conference Call, Call Forwarding, Call Waiting, Voice Mail and Text messages,
Fixed Dialing, Call Barring, Call History, speakerphone, note taking, voice mail, and
emergency number setting.
The Phone program is integrated with both Microsoft Contacts and Messaging. This
means you can make a call and send email/text messages from any of these three
programs. This fully integrated functionality of Phone also makes sharing contact
information between programs an easier task.
This chapter shows you how to install a SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) card on your
device. It also describes basic phone operations and features, as well as ways of
customizing the phone function based on your preferences.

Installing the SIM card
If you wish to use the phone function, you need to first install a valid SIM card.
A SIM card is a small printed circuit board that must be installed when signing on as a
subscriber in a GSM-based mobile phone like your MC35. It contains subscriber details,
security information and memory for a personal directory of numbers.
To install the SIM card:
1 If the device is switched on:
(a) Press the Power button to turn off the device.
(b) Wait five (5) seconds to allow the device to completely enter sleep mode.
2 Remove the battery pack. See page 12 for instructions.
3 Perform the following steps with the open rear panel facing you:

(a) Slide the SIM card holder to the right (1).
(b) Lift the holder halfway from the recess area (2).
(c) Insert the SIM card into SIM card holder (3).
Note the proper position of the SIM card—the card connector (i.e., gold area)
should be facing downward with the bevelled corner fitting the lower-left
corner of the recess area.
(d) Press the SIM card holder down (4).
(e) Slide the SIM card holder to the left to lock it into place (5).
4 Reinstall the battery pack. See page 2 for instructions.
The default settings for your device are programmed on the assumption that you’ll
be using the phone function once you’ve properly installed a SIM card (and in some
cases, entered a PIN), you can then proceed to establishing a connection to your
mobile service provider’s network.
NOTE: If you’re not going to install a SIM card on your device, keep the Phone program closed to
minimize power consumption.

Entering your PIN
After you have installed the SIM card you’ll be able to activate your mobile service
connection. In most cases, SIM cards are preset with a PIN (Personal Identity Number),
provided by your mobile service provider, which you need to enter to establish mobile
service connection.
To enter your PIN:
1 Tap , then Phone .
2 On the Dialer screen, enter the preset PIN from your mobile phone service provider.
3 Tap Enter .
If you consecutively enter a wrong PIN for three times, the SIM card is blocked. If
that happens, you can unblock it with the PIN Unblocking Key also provided by your
mobile phone service provider.
