Registration Before you can start using your Sidekick II, you must complete the registration steps, as explained in step 3 in the Start Guide. This section of the Reference Guide takes you through the registration process in more detail. Note that these instructions are for new users (not returning users). Returning users can simply sign in using their existing username and password. 1 Wait for account activation. Before you can use your account, your account must be activated. This can take up to 48 hours, but usually takes only 1-3 hours. While you wait, step through the screens that appear. If applicable, you'll be given the opportunity to select your language just before the Welcome screen appears. When you see the Welcome screen, you'll know your device has been activated: Press the wheel to select the New User button and advance to the next screen. On subsequent screens, select the Next button to advance. 12 Registration 2 Type your first and last names. Use the keyboard to type your First name, then rotate the wheel to highlight the Last name field. Type your last name, scroll to highlight the Next button, then press the wheel to advance to the next screen. 3 Select a username. The username you select will be the first part of your email address (for example, username@example.com). Before you select a username, read the following guidelines: Usernames must start with an alphabetic character (A-Z) and can include numbers and underscores ( _ ), but no other punctuation. Usernames must be at least 2 but not more than 32 characters long. Usernames are not case-sensitive. For example, if your username is "bridget", you will be authenticated if you sign in by typing "Bridget", "BRIDGET", or any combination of upper or lower case letters. Once you decide on a username, type it in the text box on the screen: Registration 13 4 Select a password. Select a password that follows the rules below then type it in the text box: Passwords must contain 4-15 characters, can include both letters and numbers, but no spaces, single quotes ('), semicolons (;), backslashes (\), or percent signs (%). Passwords are case-sensitive. For example, if you set your password to be "Hard2Guess", then you will not be authenticated if you sign in by typing "hard2guess". After you type your password, type it again to confirm. 5 Select your time zone. Open the pop-up menu to see a list of time zones. Select yours from the list, then select Next. 6 Select a "secret question" and type your answer. If you ever forget your password, you'll need to contact T-Mobile's Customer Care representative. For security purposes, they will ask you to provide an answer to the "secret question" you select on this screen. Press the wheel to open the Question pop-up menu, scroll to highlight a question, then press the wheel to select it. Rotate the wheel to highlight the Answer field, then type your answer. 14 Registration 7 Read and agree to the end-user agreement. Before you can finish registration, you must read and agree to the end-user agreement. You can read it by selecting the on-screen View Agreement link or from the Desktop Interface. Once you read the enduser agreement, select the Next button to indicate your acceptance and transmit your registration data. 8 Wait while data transmits. Wait while the data you entered in Registration transmits to T-Mobile. The service will check to see if your username has already been taken. If it has, you will be offered alternatives. You can either pick one of these alternatives or type a different username. Note that If you are out of network coverage, you'll be asked to "try again" to resume registration. 9 Congratulations! Once your account has been set up, you'll see the Congratulations screen: Select the Start button to proceed! Registration 15 III. Device Basics Battery Charger Your device comes with a built-in rechargeable lithium-ion polymer battery. The battery should be fully charged when you receive your device, but if it isn't, follow the instructions below to charge the battery. Warning Only use the battery charger provided with your device to charge your battery, or you risk damaging your device. 1 Attach the battery charger to your device. Locate the battery charger that came with your device in the box. Insert the charger lead (the small round end of the adapter) into your device's power jack (the small round hole located on the lower right side of your device) and plug the power cord into a standard electrical wall outlet. A lightning bolt icon will appear over the battery icon (in the title bar), indicating the charger is connected and the battery is charging. Note that if your device has discharged completely, it may take up to 15 minutes before you see any indication of charging on the screen. 16 Device Basics 2 Let the device charge for at least four (4) hours. Rest the device in a safe place and let the battery charge for at least four hours, or overnight, to ensure maximum battery life. As the device is charging, you will see the bars in the battery icon fill repeatedly from left to right in an animated fashion. When your device is fully-charged, the lightning bolt icon will disappear and the bars will stop moving and remain in the filled position. Tip For efficient operation, charge your device nightly. If you plan to leave your device unattended for an extended period of time, be aware that the battery will discharge after two days if it is turned on and not attached to the charger. If your device does fully discharge, simply attach it to the charger; all your data will be restored from the service. USB Port The USB port is located under a cover between the power jack and headset jack on the right side of your device. Although the current hardware version of the device has a USB port, it is primarily used by developers as they create new device applications, ringtones, and services. There are no immediate plans to expand the functionality of the USB port. Wrist Strap Holder To carry your device securely, use a wrist strap with a flexible loop on one end. (Straps are optional accessories.) Thread the loop under the strap holder and through the "tunnel" on the back of your device, near the Power button.
