European Conformity Statement
Declaration of Conformity with Regard to the R&TTE 1999/5/EC and EMC 89/336/ EEC
directives.
Battery Notices
This unit is equipped with a battery pack and backup battery. Both batteries will
discharge after an extended period of not being used. When both batteries are
discharged, recharge the unit for 16 hours in order to fully charge the main battery and
backup battery. If the main battery is removed, the backup battery ensures the data on
SDRAM is safe for up to 8 hours. To prevent data loss, do not leave the mobile
computer uncharged with the main battery removed for an extended period.
Battery Charge Notice
It is important to consider the environment temperature whenever you are charging
the Lithium-Ion battery pack. The process is most efficient at normal room
temperature or slightly cooler. It is essential that you charge batteries within the stated
range of 10°C to 40°C. Charging batteries outside of the specified range could
damage the batteries and shorten.
ii
About This Manual
Storage and Safety Notice
Although charged Lithium-Ion batteries may be left unused for several months, their
capacity may be depleted due to build up of internal resistance. If this happens they
will require recharging prior to use. Lithium-Ion batteries may be stored at
temperatures between -20°C to 60°C, however they may be depleted more rapidly at
the high end of this range. It is recommended to store batteries within normal room
temperature.

Advanced Settings
Performing a Hardware Reset
You may have to perform a reset if the device freezes (i.e., the device no longer
responds to the buttons or tapping on the screen).
A soft reset allows your device to get a fresh start, similar to rebooting a computer.
This will restart your device and adjust memory allocation. All records and entries are
retained after a soft reset. Unsaved data in open programs may lost.
Performing a Warm Boot
1. Remove the stylus from its holder.
2. Lightly press the tip of the stylus to the reset button located at the rear side of
the terminal.
Performing a Cold Boot
A cold boot will erase all data and all programs you have added, and will restore the
device to the default factory settings.
Never perform a cold boot unless a warm boot 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.
