information Remember to follow any special regulations governing the use of the Proton and always switch it off in areas where radio devices are forbidden, or when it may cause interference or danger. Any safety laws and regulations pertaining to the use of cell phones and two-
way radios will likely apply to your use of the Proton. We encourage you to follow such laws and regulations at all times. In particular, please observe all restrictions on the use of radio equipment in fuel depots (fuel storage and distribution areas), chemical plants, where blasting operations are in progress or in any other area in which restrictions on radio transmissions are imposed. The Proton is not an FAA-approved electronic device for use on aircraft. Switch off the Proton when in an aircraft. The effect of the use of the Proton in an aircraft is unknown. Such use may affect aircraft instrumentation, communication and performance, may disrupt the network, and may be illegal. Operation of any radio transmitting equipment, including the Proton, may interfere with the functionality of inadequately protected medical devices, including pacemakers. Consult a physician or the manufacturer of the medical device if you have any questions. Additionally, the effect of the radio signals from the Proton on other electronic systems, including those in your car
(such as electronic fuel-injection systems, electronic anti-skid braking systems, and electronic cruise-control systems) is unknown and malfunction of these systems may result. Avoid using the Proton in any environment requiring your full attention, such as when driving a vehicle. Do not use the cradle provided in the Proton package as a means of storing your Proton while in a vehicle. When using a cradle, make sure that it is a cradle that RIM has supplied for that particular use of your Proton. Do not use any cradle, charging unit or any other accessory that is not manufactured or supplied by RIM or an authorized RIM accessories supplier. Use of any accessory that is not supplied or approved for use by RIM is not permitted. Use only those battery types specified in this Users Guide. The use of any other may disable the Proton and may be dangerous. Discard the Proton properly. As the unit contains a lithium ion cell, neither the Proton nor the lithium ion cell (nor the AA battery) should be disposed of in fire. Dispose of the Proton containing the lithium ion cell in accordance with the laws and regulations in your area governing disposal of such cell types. Similarly, dispose of AA batteries in a responsible manner. Contact RIM if you have any questions concerning disposal of the Proton, the lithium ion cell, or the AA battery.

onds of notification, the notification stops and the most recently received message is already open. If you pull the Proton out of the holster and quickly replace it, notification stops but the message will remain marked unread. Using password protection The Proton has a password security feature. Once you set the password for your Proton and the password security screen turns on, no one can access it unless the password is entered. When you set your password in the $0.:79 screen of the 59438 function, you can also specify the length of time that the Proton is idle before the password security screen appears. Once the Proton is left idle for that amount of time, you will need to enter your password to access the Proton. You can also manually invoke the password security screen by using the 4. function. This function will lock the Proton and no one can access it without entering the password. You should lock your Proton if you leave it unattended. Once the password is enabled, you will need to enter it when connecting the Proton to your PC for use with the Proton Desktop Manager. With the Proton in the cradle, you must type your password and press the ENTER key before you can access the Proton Desktop Manager tools. If you do not want the password security screen to appear, you must disable your password in the $0.:79 screen. See page 27 for details.

Note When connecting the Proton to the PC, use only the cradle provided by Research In Motion Limited. To connect the Proton to your PC 1. Ensure that you have properly installed the Proton Desktop Software. Please refer to the Proton Desktop Software Installa-
tion & Getting Started Guide for more information on the installation procedure. 2. Insert the end of the cradle cable into a COM port on the back of your PC computer. (If you do not know the number of the COM port that the cradle is plugged into, the Proton Desktop Manager can detect it for you. If another device is already con-
nected to the serial port, it must be disabled before detection can occur. See the Proton Desktop Manager online help for more information.) 3. Secure the Proton in the cradle by inserting the connector port on the bottom edge of the Proton into the connector prongs of the cradle. Then click the top of the Proton into the cradle. Connecting the cradle to the PC 4. Refer to the Proton Desktop Software Installation & Getting Started Guide or the Proton Desktop Manager and Proton Proton Users Guide Customizing your Protons options Connecting to your PC 97 Desktop Redirector online help for more information on all the capabilities of the software. Note If the password is enabled, you must enter it before you can connect to the desktop, See page 25 for more information on the password. Information on the desktop and on the Proton can be reconciled and synchronized. For example, if you mark a task as complete on the Proton and you put it in the cradle and synchronize your data, the task is marked as complete on your desktop. Similarly, if you add a new appointment to your desktop calendar and synchronize, the new appointment will be added to the Protons calendar. Removing the Proton from the cradle To remove the Proton from the cradle, brace the bottom of the cradle with your thumb and gently pull the top of the Proton towards you. Proton Users Guide 10 Frequently asked questions This chapter includes answers to some common questions about the Proton. Alarm Why is my alarm not sounding when Ive set the time?
Ensure that you have enabled the alarm by setting the Alarm On/Off field to On. See page 19 for information on setting this field. When the alarm is set, a bell icon appears on the 420 screen. Battery Why is my battery running down quickly?
There are several reasons why your battery may run down quickly. Following these suggestions will help you get the most out of your battery. Use vibrate notification option because it requires less power than tone notification. See page 91 for information on the notifi-
cation options of the Proton. Avoid using the Proton for long messages. The reply with text feature also makes your messages longer, draining the battery faster. 100 Frequently asked questions Home screen Avoid using the backlighting feature because it requires a lot of power. Turn off your Protons radio when you are not reading mail or when receiving your mail is not urgent. This can save a large amount of the batterys power. Use the filter rules included in the Proton Desktop Manager. See the Proton Desktop Manager online help for information on filter rules. If you are sending the same message to more than one person, use multiple recipients in one message rather than transmitting the same message more than once. See page 31 for information on composing a message to multiple recipients. Home screen How can I return to the Home screen?
The screen that displays the functions list and the date and time is called the 420 screen. Press the BACKSPACE key repeatedly until you return to the
420 screen. See page 107 for more information on other short-
cuts. (This shortcut applies for all screens except for the %4
screen when you are composing a message. You cannot use the BACKSPACE key to escape from this screen.) Select Close from an applications menu or, in the 0;.0 59438 screen, scroll to and click [Return to Home screen]. LCD screen What can I do if my LCD screen seems faint?
Check the contrast under the 0;.0 59438 screen. See page 87 for information on how to set options. Proton Users Guide Frequently asked questions Messages 101 Activate backlighting by pressing the ALT key 3 times. See page 10 for information on the Protons backlighting. The backlighting on my display screen keeps disappearing. The LCD backlighting will turn off after 10 seconds if you have not pressed a key or the trackwheel. Messages Why did I have two messages in my Inbox before I turned on the radio?
These two messages were Welcome messages to help you learn how to use the Proton for the first time. Why are my messages not being sent out?
You can tell that messages have not been sent because they have a clock icon beside them. Check that the Protons radio modem has been turned on, and that you are within range of network coverage. See 20 for infor-
mation on how to turn on the radio. Check the 0947 $09938 screen to ensure that your Proton has been activated on the network. If the Status: field in this screen is Pending, call 1-877-BLK-BERRY to have your Proton activated. You can manually attempt another transmission of your mes-
sage by resending it. As long as there is a clock icon beside the message when you resend it, another attempt is made to trans-
mit the original message. A copy is not sent. See page 59 for more information on how to resend messages. Why am I not receiving all my messages?
There are several reasons why email may not be forwarded to your Proton. Proton Users Guide 102 Frequently asked questions Messages Is your PC turned on? If you are using the Proton Desktop Redi-
rector to forward your email, your desktop computer must be on any time you want to receive messages on your Proton. If your company is using the Proton Enterprise Server to forward your email, you do not need to leave your PC turned on. Is the Proton Desktop Redirector running? If you are using the Proton Desktop Redirector to forward your email, verify that it is running; its icon should be in the Windows System Tray on your PC. If your company is using the Proton Enterprise Server to forward your email, check the Proton Desktop Redirector for possible error messages. See the Proton Desktop Redirector online help included with the software for information. Is your Proton in the cradle connected to your PC? If the Proton is in the cradle and you selected the option not to forward mes-
sages when the Proton is in the cradle, you will not receive any messages on your Proton. Take the Proton out of the cradle to find out if the messages are forwarding properly. Have you created Microsoft Exchange Inbox assistant rules? If you have set up Inbox assistant rules that move new messages from the Inbox to another folder, they will not be forwarded to your Proton because the Inbox assistant moves them before they are forwarded to your Proton. Have you set filter rules? Check the filters in the Redirector Con-
figuration tool to make sure the messages you want to receive are being forwarded. See the Proton Desktop Manager online help for information on these filters. Have you set the order of the filters? If a new filter applies to a subset of the messages of an existing filter, the new one should be at the top of the list. What should I do if a message is returned?
You can tell that messages have been returned because they have an x beside them. Proton Users Guide Frequently asked questions Punctuation 103 Open the message and scroll to the top. The Message Status field indicates why the message was returned. Follow the instructions included there. See the Proton Desktop Redirector online help for more information and a list of possible error messages. If the returned message was moved or deleted on your desktop, forwarding or replying to the message will fail. Resend the message. The copy of the message on the Proton is used and the message is successfully transmitted. See page 59 for informa-
tion on how to resend messages. I am not being notified when new messages arrive, even though I have set the Proton to notify me. Ensure that the volume setting of the notification options is set to either Low, Medium, High, or Escalating, rather than Off. With the volume set to off, the beeper will not sound when new messages arrive. Ensure that the Priority Only setting in your notification options is not set to No. With this field set to Yes, you will only be notified of high priority messages, rather than all messages. See page 91 for more information on the notification options. Punctuation Where can I find the period (.) and other punctuation marks on my keyboard?
The quickest way to type a period (.) is to press the SPACE key twice at the end of a sentence. The next letter is automatically capitalized. Pressing the ALT key and an associated primary key allows you to access the most commonly used punctuation marks. You will see the punctuation mark printed in orange above the primary key on the keyboard. See page 6 for information on the ALT key and other key functions. Proton Users Guide 104 Frequently asked questions Resetting the Proton Other punctuation marks are included in the symbols library which is accessed by pressing ALT + SPACE. See page 42 for information on how to insert a symbol. You can also insert international characters into your messages. Roll the trackwheel as you press and hold a letter with associ-
ated international characters to scroll through the available characters. Release the letter once you find the one you want. Resetting the Proton On rare occasions, the Proton may report an internal Proton error message, instructing you to press R to reset. Doing so will return the Proton to normal operation after a few minutes. Try sending yourself a message and check that all the information has been properly restored in the $9,9:8 screen. There is also a tiny hole located on the back of the Proton below the bottom label. You can access it to reset the Proton. Normally, you will not need to use this button. However, if the Proton locks up
(no longer responds when you press keys or use the trackwheel) you may choose to use this method to reset the Proton. A fine-
tipped instrument, such as a paper clip, can be inserted into this hole to press the reset button, restarting and restoring the Proton to normal operation. Note You can also reset the Proton by simultaneously pressing the ALT + SHIFT + BACKSPACE keys. Messages and other information stored on the Proton will not be lost. If you were in the process of composing a message, however, the message will be lost. Resetting your Proton will not lose the connection with your PC. After you reset your Proton, synchronize with the Proton Desktop Proton Users Guide Frequently asked questions Resetting the Proton 105 Manager to ensure that all information has been restored.
