Do not disconnect your A700 from AC power until the battery is fully charged, as indicated by the red indicator turning into green. This will take a couple of hours.

Whenever possible, keep your A700 connected to the AC adapter and a power source. Doing so keeps the battery charged.

NOTE: Your A700 can also be charged when it is connected to a desktop computer via the

USB cable.

CAUTION: For optimal performance of the lithium battery, take note of the following:

The environment temperature for charging should be 0~40°C.

When a battery is fully discharged due to a long period of usage or idleness, connect

A700 to AC power for charging, and wait for at least 5 minutes before turning it on.

Do not charge the battery where the temperature is high (e.g. in direct sunlight).

There is no need to fully discharge the battery before charging. You can charge the battery before it is discharged.

If you will not use the product for a long period of time, be sure to fully charge the battery at least once every two weeks. Over discharge of the battery can affect the charging performance.

1.5 Installing Microsoft ActiveSync

You can use Microsoft ActiveSync technology to synchronize information on your desktop computer and/or a Microsoft Exchange Server with the information on your A700. ActiveSync compares the information on your A700 with the information on the desktop computer and/or the server and updates all locations, keeping you up-to-date with the most recent information.

ActiveSync is already installed on your A700. You need to install ActiveSync on your desktop computer.

CAUTION:

Before installation, make sure that you have Microsoft Outlook installed on your desktop computer.

Do not connect your A700 to your desktop computer before ActiveSync is installed.

In some specific cases, A700 may experience connection problems when it is connected to a Windows computer running ActiveSync 4.0. The problems may be caused by the interoperability with desktop firewall applications, applications that manage network traffic, or LAN configuration tools. To resolve the problems, please visit Microsoft web site at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync, or disable the LAN configuration tools.

Follow the procedure below:

1. Turn on your desktop computer.

2. Insert the supplied Getting Started Disc into the CD-ROM drive of your desktop computer.

Next on the “Get ready t …” screen.

Next on the “Getting Started …” screen.

5. The program will automatically detect if ActiveSync is installed on the desktop computer. Click Next .

6. Follow the on-screen instructions to install ActiveSync. You may be asked to restart the desktop computer during the installation process.

7. Connect A700 to the desktop computer. Connect the mini-USB end of the

USB cable to the bottom of your A700, and the other end to a USB port on your desktop computer.


To PC

8. The “Add New Hardware Wizard” should automatically install the USB driver. (If you need to specify the location of the driver, click Browse and select the CD-ROM drive containing the Getting Started Disc.)

9. Follow the on-screen instructions to establish a partnership and synchronize your A700 with your desktop computer.

10. Click Next on the “Program Installation Status” screen.

After your first synchronization, the data you have stored on your desktop computer such as Calendar, Contacts and Tasks is copied to your A700. You are now ready to take it along with you when you go.

NOTE: If you have set a device password, you will need to enter this password on the desktop computer for the ActiveSync connection. See “Locking the Device” in section 2.9 for information.


1.6 Using Your A700 in a Vehicle

Using the Car Holder

Your car holder consists of a bracket and an arm stand. Follow this procedure to mount your A700 in a car:

1. Assemble the bracket and the arm stand.

2. Clean the windshield where you will apply the suction cup.

3. Attach the suction cup to the windshield and push in the locking tab to secure the suction cup.

4. Carefully fit your A700 into the bracket.

5. Turn the rotate wheel at the top of the arm stand clockwise to loosen it.

Adjust A700 to the best viewing angle, and then turn the rotate wheel counterclockwise to fasten it.

CAUTION:

When placing the car holder, make sure that the device does not obstruct the driver’s view, or interfere with the operation of vehicle airbags and safety devices.

After the suction cup is secured to the windshield, never try to pull or wriggle the arm.

Always adjust A700 and the arm of the car holder for the best viewing angle BEFORE driving. Avoid adjusting A700 with one hand while driving.

When using the car holder, keep the car temperature in a normal range. If the temperature gets too low, the car holder’s suction cup can harden and affect its suction.

Loosen the locking tab first before removing the car holder.

NOTE: If the car’s windshield is tinted with a reflective coating, an external antenna

(optional) may be needed to route the antenna to the top of the car through a window.


Connecting the Car Charger

CAUTION: To protect your device against sudden surges in current, connect the car charger only after the car engine has been started.

The car charger supplies power to your A700. Connect one end of the car charger to the power connector of your A700 and the other end to the cigarette lighter in the car.


1.7 Expanding Your A700

Using a SD/MMC Card

Your A700 has a SD/MMC slot where you can insert an optional SD or MMC storage card, or SD IO wireless network card. With the removable memory, you can store or backup your data and exchange data with other devices.

To use a SD/MMC card, insert it into the slot, with the connector pointing to the slot and its label facing the front of your A700. Follow the instructions supplied with the card for more information.

To remove a card, first make sure that no application is accessing the card, then slightly push the top edge of the card to release it and pull it out of the slot.

NOTE:

A storage card is also called a memory card.

Make sure that no foreign objects enter the slot.

Keep a SD or MMC card in a well-protected box to avoid dust and humidity when you are not using it.

Managing Your A700

This chapter tells you how to effectively manage power, memory, settings, data and programs of your A700.

You must maintain a continuous power supply to your A700 to retain your data, including any information, programs or settings that you added to your A700.

A fully charged battery should provide power for up to 8 hours of use. The operating time of a fully charged battery depends on how you are using the

A700. Some functions, such as using multimedia or phone features and operating a SD/MMC card, may consume the battery power considerably.

Low Battery Signals and Actions

CAUTION:

When the battery runs out of power completely, A700 turns off automatically. Charge the battery or replace the old battery immediately. Replacing the battery needs to be finished in 5 minutes to make sure of the corrent system time.

When you charge the battery upon a warning of low power, you should charge for at least 30 minutes before unplugging the AC adapter. A700 may not be able to turn on during the first few minutes of the charging until the battery power reaches the protection point of the system.

You can monitor the battery power by tapping Settings System

Power , or tapping the icon on the Today screen. The remaining power is displayed on a status bar.

When the battery is low, your A700 will pop up a warning message. You should save your data and charge the battery immediately upon a warning of low power; otherwise your A700 will turn off automatically. You need to connect

A700 to external AC power for charging before you can use it again.

Managing Your A700 4-1

Power Management

Supplied with your A700 is a tool called “eUtility.” This tool helps you effectively manage power to prolong the battery’s operating time.

Tap Settings System eUtility . The tool consists of five tabs: System ,

Performance , Power , USB and Camera . They are described as below.

System

This page displays the program information. It does not contain any adjustable items.

Performance

Select a mode from the following four options.

Auto A700 will automatically adjust the CPU speed according to the need of the current operation.

Low Performance The CPU always runs at a lower speed, thus extending the battery life.

High Performance The CPU always runs at normal speed, thus providing standard battery life.

Super Performance The CPU always runs at a high speed, thus shortening the battery life.

Power

You can change the settings of the following items based on your needs.

Keypad Backlight on

SD slot powered off during sleep mode

You can also select the events for waking up your A700.

Application Buttons

SD/MMC Card insertion/removal

USB plug-in

4-2 Managing Your A700

USB

You can establish a synchronization partnership between A700 and the desktop computer, or simply use A700 as a card reader. The default setting is ActiveSync mode . Note that you do not need to disable the USB connection in ActiveSync on the desktop computer when using the card reader mode.

Camera

When you use the camera indoors, you can select 50Hz or 60Hz to match the flicker frequency of the fluorescent lamp.

Power-Saving Tips

Follow these suggestions to maximize the battery’s operating time, particularly when you are relying solely on the battery power for extended time periods.

Suspend or turn off the device frequently.

By default, the screen backlight will automatically turn off and A700 will also suspend when it has been idle for a period of time. You can shorten the length of the idle time using Settings System Power Advanced to set up.

Press the End button for 3 seconds until the Quick List appears and then tap Power off to turn off your A700 when it is not in use, even for a short time.

Turn off functions not needed or adjust settings.

Lower the volume.

Do not enable sounds or light flashing except for the most necessary notifications. Tap Settings Personal Sounds & Notifications to set up.

Remove the SD/MMC card, if installed, from the slot if you are not using it.

Close the map program and remove the map card from the slot if you are not using the program.


Avoid power-consuming situations such as:

When connecting A700 to your desktop computer (Your A700 will not auto-suspend while it is connected.)

When using a SD/MMC card

When monitoring Bluetooth transfers (Although you can set your A700 to constantly monitor the Bluetooth transfers sent from other devices, doing so will quickly drain your battery.)

When playing sound or music, or recording


Storage and Program Memory

Files, settings and data that you add to your A700 are stored in the memory of

NOTE: ActiveSync is already installed on your A700. You need to install ActiveSync on your desktop computer. (See section 1.5 for installation procedures.)

When you have established the connection between your A700 and your desktop computer, you can synchronize the information between the two with

ActiveSync. Synchronization compares the data on the two sides and updates both computers with the most recent information. For example, you can:

Keep your Pocket Outlook Contacts, Calendar and Tasks databases up-to-date by synchronizing your A700 with Microsoft Outlook data on your desktop computer.

Synchronize email messages in your A700 Inbox with email messages in

Microsoft Outlook on your desktop computer.

Synchronize Microsoft Word and Excel files between your A700 and desktop computer. Your files are automatically converted to the correct format.

With ActiveSync, you can also:

Copy (rather than synchronize) files between your A700 and desktop computer.

Add and remove programs on your A700.

Pass through your desktop computer to a network or the Internet.

Synchronization Problems

Make sure that no other connection is being used. Tap the icon on the navigation bar and then tap Disconnect .

In some specific cases, A700 may experience connection problems when it is connected to a Windows computer running ActiveSync 4.0. The problems may be caused by the interoperability with desktop firewall applications, applications that manage network traffic, or LAN configuration tools. To resolve the problems, please visit Microsoft web site at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/help/activesync, or disable the LAN configuration tools.

Make sure that you have installed the correct version of ActiveSync on your desktop computer.

Install the version ActiveSync included with your A700.

You can also check the version of the operating system by tapping

Settings System About Version . For example, the version information mayu display “Microsoft® Windows Mobile™ Version 5.0 OS 5.1.70

(Build 14406.1.1.1).” Check the first number after “14406” (your A700 may not display the same number). If the number is “1,” you can use

ActiveSync 4.0; if the number is “2,” then you need to use ActiveSync 4.1.

Cable Connection Problems

Make sure that your A700 and your desktop computer are both turned on before establishing the connection.

Make sure that the cable is securely plugged into the USB port on your desktop computer.

Modem Connection Problems
