INTERFERENCE WITH MEDICAL EQUIPMENT FUNCTIONS
This product may cause medical equipment to malfunction. The use of this device is forbidden in most hospitals and medical clinics.
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your device to determine if they are adequately shielded from external RF energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn your phone OFF in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external RF energy.
HEARING AIDS
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
NONIONIZING RADIATION
Your device has an internal antenna. This product should be operated in its normal-use position to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference. As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to RF energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards, always use your device only in its normal-use position. Contact with the antenna area may impair call quality and cause your device to operate at a higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.

A quick and easy way to interact with the Home screen and the whole interface of your device is by touch. Basically, the following are the types of actions, called finger gestures, that you would do when interacting with your device:
Touch
When you want to select items such as icons and options or press on-screen buttons, simply touch them with your finger. Apply some pressure with your finger pad when touching them on the screen.
Swipe or slide
To swipe or slide means to drag your finger vertically or horizontally across the screen. The following are some instances when you would use swiping:
• Getting around the extended Home screen
Swipe your finger horizontally across the screen to go to the left or right side of the extended Home screen. For more information, see "Home Screen" in this chapter.
- Scrolling
To scroll up or down in a list or page on the screen, swipe or slide your finger up or down on the screen. With repeated short, quick brushing gestures, you can accelerate the scroll. Touch your finger on the screen to stop the scrolling.
32 Getting Started
Drag
Touch and hold your finger with some pressure before you start to drag. While dragging, do not release your finger until you have reached the target position.
The following are some instances when you would use dragging:
- Moving or deleting a Home screen item
First, touch and hold an application icon, widget, or folder on the Home screen. When the item magnifies and the device vibrates, drag your finger to any part of the screen to move the item, or drag to the Trash button to delete the item. For more information, see "Customize the Home screen" in this chapter.
• Resizing the cropper
When you need to crop a picture, the cropper appears. Touch and hold the cropper edge, then drag your finger inward to or outward from the center of the cropper to resize it.
Flick
Flicking the screen is similar to swiping, except that you need to swipe your finger in light, quicker strokes. This finger gesture is always in a vertical direction, such as when flicking the contacts or message list.
Use the TRACKBALL
You can use the TRACKBALL to select or highlight items on the screen.

Synchronizing Information
4.1 About Synchronization
4.2 Selecting Applications to Synchronize
4.1 About Synchronization
Google applications on your phone, such as Gmail, Calendar, and Contacts, give you access to the same personal information (e-mails, events, and contacts) that you add, view, and edit on your computer using Gmail or Google Calendar.
This means that when you add, change, or delete any information in any of these applications on the web, the updated information also appears on your device, and vice versa. This keeps your personal information intact, so when you lose your device or when your device is destroyed, your personal information can and will appear as before, on a replacement device.
This information mirroring is made possible through over the air data synchronization or data syncing. Data syncing occurs in the background and does not get in your way. You'll know that your data is being synchronized when you see the data synchronization icon ( ) in the status bar.

Tip When Auto-sync is disabled, you can synchronize individual applications manually by selecting their respective check boxes on this screen. You can also navigate to an application or item using the TRACKBALL, press MENU, then touch Sync now.
- Gmail. If Auto-sync is enabled, clear the check box to exclude Gmail from automatic synchronization, or select to begin synchronization of e-mails on your device and on the web.

7.1 Connecting to the Internet
Your device's networking capabilities allow you to access the Internet through GPRS/3G (or EDGE, when available) or Wi-Fi.
GPRS/3G
The APNs (Access Point Names) of your wireless service provider's GPRS/3G networks are already preconfigured on your device so you can immediately connect and use GPRS/3G services.
It is recommended that you keep the APN settings. If you need to update an existing APN or add a new APN, make sure that you obtained the correct settings from your wireless service provider. Changing the settings arbitrarily may cause some features or services to stop.
To update the APNs
-
Press HOME > MENU, and then touch Settings > Wireless controls.
-
Scroll down the screen, touch Mobile networks, and then touch Access Point Names.
-
Touch the APN you want to update, and then open the device keyboard.
-
On the Edit access point screen, touch an APN setting, enter or replace it with the updated setting you obtained from your wireless service provider, then touch OK.
-
When you are finished entering the settings, press MENU, and then touch Save.

Safety Precautions for Radio Frequency Exposure
Use only original manufacturer-approved accessories, or accessories that do not contain any metal.
Use of non-original manufacturer-approved accessories may violate your local Radio Frequency exposure guidelines and should be avoided.
Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals
Your phone contains a radio transmitter and receiver. The radiated output power is far below the international radio frequency exposure limits. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of Radio Frequency energy for the general population. The guidelines are based on the safety standards previously set by international standards bodies:
• American National Standards Institute (ANSI) IEEE. C95.1-1992
• National Council on Radiation Protection and Measurement (NCRP). Report 86. 1986
• International Commission on Non-Ionising Radiation Protection (ICNIRP) 1996
- Ministry of Health (Canada), Safety Code 6. The standards include a substantial safety margin designed to assure the safety of all persons, regardless of age and health.
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR. The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in usage.
As with other mobile radio transmitting equipment, users are advised that for satisfactory operation of the equipment and for the safety of personnel, it is recommended that no part of the human body be allowed to come too close to the antenna during operation of the equipment.
Your phone has an internal antenna. Use only the supplied integral antenna. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage your phone, causing loss of performance and SAR levels exceeding the recommended limits as well as result in non-compliance with local regulatory requirements in your country.
To assure optimal phone performance and ensure human exposure to Radio Frequency energy is within the guidelines set forth in the relevant standards; always use your phone only in its normal-use position. Do not touch or hold the antenna area unnecessarily when placing or receiving a phone call. Contact with the antenna area may impair call quality and cause your phone to operate at a higher power level than needed. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when your phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life.
Body-worn measurements were tested for typical body-worn operations with the back of your phone kept 1.5 cm from the body.

212 Appendix
Telecommunications & Internet Association (TIA) Safety Information
Pacemakers
The Health Industry Manufacturers Association recommends that a minimum separation of six inches be maintained between a handheld wireless phone and a pacemaker to avoid potential interference with the pacemaker. These recommendations are consistent with the independent research by and recommendations of Wireless Technology Research. Persons with pacemakers:
- Should ALWAYS keep your phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when your phone is turned on.
- Should not carry your phone in a breast pocket.
- Should use the ear opposite the pacemaker to minimize the potential for interference. If you have any reason to suspect that interference is taking place, turn your phone off immediately.
Hearing Aids
Some digital wireless phones may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, you may want to consult your wireless service provider, or call the customer service line to discuss alternatives.
Other Medical Devices
If you use any other personal medical device, consult the manufacturer of your phone to determine if they are adequately shielded from external Radio Frequency energy. Your physician may be able to assist you in obtaining this information.
Turn the phone off in health care facilities when any regulations posted in these areas instruct you to do so. Hospitals or health care facilities may be using equipment that could be sensitive to external Radio Frequency energy.
WEEE Notice
The Directive on Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), which entered into force as European law on 13th February 2003, resulted in a major change in the treatment of electrical equipment at end-of-life.
The purpose of this Directive is, as a first priority, the prevention of WEEE, and in addition, to promote the reuse, recycling and other forms of recovery of such wastes so as to reduce disposal.

The WEEE logo (shown at the left) on the product or on its box indicates that this product must not be disposed of or dumped with your other household waste. You are liable to dispose of all your electronic or electrical waste equipment by relocating over to the specified collection point for recycling of such hazardous waste. Isolated collection and proper recovery of your electronic and electrical waste equipment at the time of disposal will allow us to help conserving natural resources. Moreover, proper recycling of the electronic and electrical waste equipment will ensure safety of human health and environment. For more information about electronic and electrical waste equipment disposal, recovery, and collection points, please contact your local city centre, household waste disposal service, shop from where you purchased the equipment, or manufacturer of the equipment.
RoHS Compliance
