July 29, 2002 T-Mobile Sidekick Owner's Manual 10 Start Here Your T-Mobile Account Before you can use your device, your T-Mobile account must be completely set up. This involves the following: 1 Obtain a telephone number. When you purchased your device, a T-Mobile representative assigned you a telephone number, which is stored on your device's Subscriber Identification Module, or "SIM" for short. (Read more in About Your Smart Card on page 30.) This step you've already completed. 2 Wait for account activation. T-Mobile must activate your device on the network. This can take up to 48 hours after you purchase your device, but usually takes much less time. You will know your T-Mobile account is activated when you see a "Welcome to T-Mobile" screen on your device display. 3 Register a username and password. After you see the "Welcome to T-Mobile" screen on your device, follow the prompts to select a username and password. You will use your phone number and this password to sign in and out of the Web version of the applications, and you may occasionally be prompted to enter your username/password information on the device as well. When selecting a username and password, note the following: Usernames - Must start with an alphabetic character (A-Z), can include numbers, can include underscores but no other punctuation, and must be two or more characters in length. If your preferred username is already taken, the T-Mobile service will provide you with alternate suggestions. You can either pick one of these or try another one of your choice. Note that usernames are not case-sensitive. Passwords - Must contain 4-15 characters, can include both letters and numbers, but no spaces, single quotes ('), semicolons (;), backslashes (/),or percent signs (%). You will be asked to type your password twice for confirmation. Note that your password appears on the screen as asterisks (*) to ensure privacy. Select a password that is not a word, is difficult to guess, but one that you can remember. Passwords are case-sensitive. If you forget your password at some time in the future, contact T-Mobile Customer Care at 1-800-937-8997. - 4 Select and answer a secret question. You will also be asked to select a "secret question" and type the answer. Questions are similar to these: · What is your mother's maiden name? · What is your favorite pet's name? · On what street did you grow up? · In what city did you grow up? · What is your favorite movie? If you ever forget your password, you will be asked to answer this question before your password is "reset" by Customer Care. 5 Read and agree to Danger Service and End-User License Agreement. The legal document you must read and agree to can be found on the screen (select the View License button) and in the printed Reference Guide you received in the box when you bought your device. For future reference, you can view the license agreement on the device from the Jump Settings > About device screen menu. This document can also be found at the following Web site: www.danger.com/ agreements. July 29, 2002 T-Mobile Sidekick Owner's Manual 11 Start Here 6 Wait while data is being transmitted. After agreeing to the Danger Service and End-User License Agreement, the registration information is sent to the T-Mobile service. If your username has already been taken, you'll be notified on a screen that gives you opportunity to select a new one. You'll then see a Congratulations screen, letting you know that you are now ready to use the T-Mobile services. There is a chance that the data transmission may fail, in which case you'll receive a message asking you to try later. 7 Congratulations! Once your account has been set up, you'll see the Congratulations screen and a final screen with the Start button. Select the Start button to do just that! If you're roaming on another network, you'll be notified at this point (see Warning below). 8 Read the Hints screens. Before going to the Jump screen, take a minute to read the helpful Hints that appear. After reading each hint, select Next to advance to the next. Select Done to dismiss Hints and go to the Jump screen. Warning! When roaming outside the T-Mobile network, you may incur additional charges for data transfer with or without taking any actions, such as receiving emails. To avoid additional charges while roaming, go to Jump Settings > Wireless Options and clear the GPRS Data Roaming On check box. If you do roam with GPRS Data Roaming off, you will still be able to make and receive voice calls. Charging Your Battery Your device comes with a built-in rechargeable lithium ion (Li-Ion) battery. Before you can begin using your device you must charge the battery. Note that you cannot access or remove the battery from your device. Read the following topics for more information about your device's battery: · · · · Charging Your Device's Battery Battery Charging Time Use and Standby Times Conserving Battery Power Charging Your Device's Battery To charge the battery, do the following: 1 Attach the battery charger to your device.

Rest the device in a safe place and let the battery charge for at least four hours, or overnight. As the device is charging, you will see the bars in the battery icon fill from left to right. When your device is fully-charged, the bars will stop moving in the full position: . Note: If your battery is fully-charged and you unplug the battery charger then connect it to the charger again, the bars in the battery icon will fill from left to right for two hours, even though it is fully-charged. Battery Charging Time Initial charging time for your device's lithium ion battery is approximately four hours. Recharging time is the same, depending on how discharged the battery has become. If your battery has become completely discharged, your device will turn off automatically. Once you connect the device to the battery charger, give your device approximately 10 minutes to gain enough power to be turned on. Use and Standby Times With a fully-charged battery, you can use your device for one day. In power-saving (or even key guard) mode, the battery should last seven days. These times are approximate however; battery operation times vary according to how you use your device, signal conditions, and other network settings made by T-Mobile.

A SIM is a small card that fits into a slot within your device. The card contains a chip that holds information required to operate a device. Exactly What Information Is on My Device SIM? Your device SIM stores the following information: · International Mobile Subscriber Identity (IMSI) Number - Number that uniquely identifies you as a subscriber on the network. The number is made up of three parts: a three-digit mobile country code, a two-digit mobile network code, and a (up to) 10-digit mobile subscriber identify number. · Mobile Subscriber ISDN (MSISDN) Number - Your mobile telephone number. (ISDN stands for Integrated Services Digital Network.) · SIM PIN - A Personal Identification Number (PIN) that you set using the Jump Settings > Key Guard & Security screen. This code protects your SIM from being used by another person in another device in the event it is lost or stolen. · SMS Messages - Short Message Service messages that you receive and save. T-Mobile Phone Messages messages use the Short Message Service. Note that outgoing messages ("sent") are not saved to the SIM. · Contact Information - Contact information (name:number) is only stored on your SIM if you've used your SIM previously in a mobile phone and stored names and numbers in that phone. Note that you can import previously-stored contact info into your device Address Book by following the instructions in Import Contacts from SIM on page 124. My SIM Card Came Locked! How Do I Unlock It? When you receive your device, the SIM card may be locked by default.
