CAUTION: Safety Instructions

Use the following safety guidelines to help ensure your own personal safety and to help protect your device and working environment from potential damage.

SAFETY: General

???Do not attempt to service the device yourself unless you are a trained service technician. Always follow installation instructions closely.

???If you use an extension power cable with your AC adapter, ensure that the total ampere rating of the products plugged in to the extension power cable does not exceed the ampere rating of the extension cable.

???Do not push objects into air vents or openings of your device. Doing so can cause fire or electric shock by shorting out interior components.

???Keep your device away from radiators and heat sources. Also, do not block cooling vents. Avoid placing loose papers underneath your device; do not place your device in a closed-in wall unit or on a bed, sofa, or rug.

???Place the AC adapter in a ventilated area, such as a desk top or on the floor, when you use it to run the device or to charge the battery. Do not cover the AC adapter with papers or other items that will reduce cooling; also, do not use the AC adapter inside a carrying case.

???The AC adapter may become hot during normal operation of your device. Use care when handling the adapter during or immediately after operation.

???Do not use your device in a wet environment, for example, near a bath tub, sink, or swimming pool or in a wet basement.

???If your device includes an integrated or optional (PC Card) modem, disconnect the modem cable if an electrical storm is approaching to avoid the remote risk of electric shock from lightning via the telephone line.

???To help avoid the potential hazard of electric shock, do not connect or disconnect any cables or perform maintenance or reconfiguration of this product during an electrical storm. Do not use your device during an electrical storm unless all cables have been disconnected and the device is operating on battery power.

???If your device includes a modem, the cable used with the modem should be manufactured with a minimum wire size of 26 American wire gauge (AWG) and an FCC-compliant RJ-11 modular plug.

???PC Cards may become very warm during normal operation. Use care when removing PC Cards after their continuous operation.

???Before you clean your device, disconnect the device from the electrical outlet. Clean your device with a soft cloth dampened with water. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners, which may contain flammable substances.

SAFETY: Battery

???Use only Dell??? battery modules that are approved for use with this device. Use of other types may increase the risk of fire or explosion.

???Do not carry a battery pack in your pocket, purse, or other container where metal objects (such as car keys or paper clips) could short-circuit the battery terminals. The resulting excessive current flow can cause extremely high temperatures and may result in damage to the battery pack or cause fire or burns.

???The battery poses a burn hazard if you handle it improperly. Do not disassemble it. Handle a damaged or leaking battery pack with extreme care. If the battery is damaged, electrolyte may leak from the cells and may cause personal injury.

???Keep the battery away from children.

???Do not store or leave your device or battery pack near a heat source such as a radiator, fireplace, stove, electric heater, or other heat-generating appliance or otherwise expose it to temperatures in excess of 60??C (140??F). When heated to excessive temperatures, battery cells could explode or vent, posing a risk of fire.

12 CAUTION: Safety Instructions

???Do not dispose of your device???s battery in a fire or with normal household waste. Battery cells may explode. Discard a used battery according to the manufacturer???s instructions or contact your local waste disposal agency for disposal instructions. Dispose of a spent or damaged battery promptly.

SAFETY: Air Travel

???Certain Federal Aviation Administration regulations and/or airline-specific restrictions may apply to the operation of your Dell device while you are on board an aircraft. For example, such regulations/restrictions may prohibit the use of any personal electronic device (PED) that has the capacity for intentional transmission of radio frequency or other electromagnetic signals while on an aircraft.

???In order to best comply with all such restrictions, if your Dell portable device is equipped with Dell TrueMobile??? or some other wireless communication device, please disable this device before you board the aircraft and follow all instructions provided by airline personnel with regard to such device.

???Additionally, the use of any PED, such as a portable device, may be prohibited in aircraft during certain critical phases of flight, for example, takeoff and landing. Some airlines may further define the critical flight phase as any time the aircraft is below 3050 m (10,000 ft). Please follow the airline???s specific instructions as to when the use of a PED is allowed.

SAFETY: Electromagnetic Compatibility Instructions

Use shielded signal cables to ensure that you maintain the appropriate electromagnetic compatibility classification for the intended environment. For parallel printers, a cable is available from Dell. If you prefer, you can order a cable from Dell at its worldwide website at www.dell.com.

???For better recognition, try changing the zoom level to 300 percent using the Tools menu.

???Write the letters of a word closely and leave big gaps between words so that the device can easily determine where words begin and end.

???Hyphenated words, foreign words that use special characters such as accents, and some punctuation cannot be converted.

???You cannot add written text to a word to change it after the word has been recognized. You must delete the written word and write the new word.

Installing and Using ActiveSync

w w w . d e l l . c o m | s u p p o r t . d e l l . c o m

About ActiveSync

You can synchronize the information on your computer with the information on your device with ActiveSync. Synchronization compares the data on your device with the data on your computer and updates both with the most recent information. For example:

???Keep Microsoft Pocket Outlook data up-to-date by synchronizing your device with Microsoft Outlook data on your computer.

???Synchronize Microsoft Word and Microsoft Excel files between your device and your computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.

NOTE: By default, ActiveSync does not automatically synchronize all types of information. You can change ActiveSync options to synchronize specific types of information.

With ActiveSync, you can also:

???Back up and restore your device data.

???Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your device and your computer.

???Select a synchronization mode to control when synchronization occurs. For example, you can synchronize continuously or only when you select the synchronize command.

???Select which information types are synchronized and control how much data is synchronized. For example, you can choose how many weeks of past appointments you want synchronized.

To synchronize your data, you need both the Microsoft Windows?? and Pocket PC versions of ActiveSync. You must install the Windows version of ActiveSync on your computer using the Dell??? Companion CD. The Pocket PC version is already installed on your device.

NOTE: Before connecting your device to a computer for the first time, ensure that you install ActiveSync on the computer from the Dell??? Companion CD.

About Microsoft?? Pocket Outlook

Pocket Outlook includes Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Messaging, and Notes. You can use these programs individually or together. For example, e-mail addresses stored in Contacts can be used to address e-mail messages in Messaging.

Using Microsoft ActiveSync??, you can synchronize information in Microsoft Outlook or Microsoft Exchange on your computer with your device. You can also synchronize this information directly with an Exchange server. Each time you synchronize, ActiveSync compares the changes you made on your device and computer or server and updates both computers with the latest information. For information on using ActiveSync, see ActiveSync Help on your computer.

You can switch to any of the following programs through the Start menu.

Calendar

Use Calendar to schedule appointments, including meetings and other events. You can check your appointments in one of several views (Agenda, Day, Week, Month, and Year) and easily switch views by using the view menu. Tap the today icon to view the current date.

???Send and receive e-mail messages by connecting directly to an e-mail server through an ISP or a network.

Synchronizing E-Mail Messages

You can synchronize e-mail messages along with the rest of your data if you enable Messaging synchronization in ActiveSync. For information on enabling Messaging synchronization, see ActiveSync Help on your computer.

NOTE: You can also synchronize e-mail messages with your computer from a remote location. For more information, see "Getting Connected" on page 95.

During synchronization:

???Messages are copied from the e-mail folders of Exchange or Outlook on your computer to the ActiveSync folder in Messaging on your device. By default, you receive:

???Messages from the past 3 days

???The first 100 lines of each message

???File attachments of less than 100 KB in size

???E-mail messages in the Outbox folder on your device are transferred to Exchange or Outlook on your computer, and then sent from those programs.

???E-mail messages in subfolders on your computer must be selected in ActiveSync to be transferred.

w w w . d e l l . c o m | s u p p o r t . d e l l . c o m

Connecting Directly to an E-Mail Server

In addition to synchronizing e-mail messages with your computer, you can send and receive e-mail messages by connecting to an e-mail server using a modem or network card connected to your device. You need to set up a remote connection to a network or an ISP, and a connection to your e-mail server. For more information, see "Getting Connected" on page 95.

When you connect to the e-mail server:

???New messages are downloaded to the device Inbox folder.

???Messages in the device Outbox folder are sent.

???Messages that have been deleted on the e-mail server are removed from the device Inbox folder.

Messages that you receive directly from an e-mail server are linked to your e-mail server rather than to your computer. When you delete a message on your device, it is also deleted from the e-mail server the next time you connect depending on the settings you selected in ActiveSync.

When you are working online, you read and respond to messages while connected to the e-mail server. Messages are sent as soon as you tap Send, which saves space on your device.

After you have downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Messaging downloads the messages you have marked for retrieval and sends the messages you have composed.

Using the Message List

Messages you receive are displayed in the message list. By default, the most recently received messages are displayed first in the list.

When you receive a message, tap to open it. Unread messages are displayed in bold.

If you are working offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and sent the next time you connect.

Managing E-Mail Messages and Folders

By default, messages are displayed in one of five folders for each service you have created: Inbox, Deleted Items, Drafts, Outbox, or Sent Items. The

Deleted Items folder contains messages that have been deleted on the device. The behavior of the Deleted Items and Sent Items folders depends on the options you have selected.To change the options, tap Tools in the message list and tap Options. On the Message tab, select your options.

To create a new folder, tap Tools, and tap Manage Folders. To move a message to another folder, tap and hold the message in the message list and tap Move to on the pop-up menu.

Folder Behavior With a Direct Connection to an E-Mail Server

The behavior of the folders you create depends on whether you use ActiveSync, POP3, or IMAP4.

???If you use ActiveSync, e-mail messages in the Inbox folder in Outlook are automatically synchronized with your device. You can select to synchronize additional folders by designating them for ActiveSync. The folders you create and the messages you move are then mirrored on the server. For example, if you move messages from the Inbox folder to a folder named Family, and you have designated Family for synchronization, the server creates a copy of the Family folder and copies the messages into that folder. You can then read the messages while away from your computer.

Notifications

You can set your device to remind you when you have something to do. For example, if you have set up an appointment in Calendar, a task with a due date in Tasks, or an alarm in Clock, you are notified in one of the following ways:

???A message box appears on the screen.

???A sound, which you can specify, is played.

???A light flashes on your device.

To configure the reminders and sounds for your device:

Regulatory Notices

Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) is any signal or emission, radiated in free space or conducted along power or signal leads, that endangers the functioning of a radio navigation or other safety service or seriously degrades, obstructs, or repeatedly interrupts a licensed radio communications service. Radio communications services include but are not limited to AM/FM commercial broadcast, television, cellular services, radar, air-traffic control, pager, and Personal Communication Services (PCS). These licensed services, along with unintentional radiators such as digital devices, including computers, contribute to the electromagnetic environment.

Electromagnetic Compatibility is the ability of items of electronic equipment to function properly together in the electronic environment. While this computer has been designed and determined to be compliant with regulatory agency limits for EMI, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause interference with radio communications services, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, you are encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

???Reorient the receiving antenna.

???Relocate the computer with respect to the receiver.

VCCI Notice (Japan Only)

Most Dell computers are classified by the Voluntary Control Council for Interference (VCCI) as Class B information technology equipment (ITE). However, the inclusion of certain options can change the rating of some configurations to Class A. ITE, including devices, expansion cards, printers, input/output (I/O) devices, monitors, and so on, integrated into or connected to the computer should match the electromagnetic environment classification (Class A or B) of the computer.

To determine which classification applies to your computer, examine the regulatory labels/markings (see "VCCI Class A ITE Regulatory Mark" and "VCCI Class B ITE Regulatory Mark") located on the bottom, side, or back panel of your computer. Once you have determined your computer???s VCCI classification, read the appropriate VCCI notice.

Class B ITE

This is a Class B product based on the standard of the Voluntary Control Council for Interference (VCCI) for information technology equipment. If this equipment is used near a radio or television receiver in a domestic environment, it may cause radio interference. Install and use the equipment according to the instruction manual.
