Unapproved modifications or operations beyond or in conflict with these instructions for use may void authorization by the authorities to operate the equipment. 12 Exposure to Radio Frequency (RF) Signals Your device 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 RF 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-Ionizing 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. Use of unauthorized or modified antennas may impair call quality and damage the phone, causing loss of performance. 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. Avoiding contact with the antenna area when the phone is IN USE optimizes the antenna performance and the battery life. Carrying the unit Due to radio frequency emissions, do not operate the radio with the unit in a holster, dangling from a lanyard, or with any method that keeps the powered unit in very close proximity to the head or torso. For proper operation, carry the unit in your hand with the antennas located at least 8 inches (~20 cm) from the head or torso. See the following illustration for the correct and incorrect way to operate the unit. Correct Incorrect 13 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 the phone more than six inches from their pacemaker when the phone is turned ON. 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 the 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 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 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 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 RF energy. Other Nomad resources This manual covers only the Wireless WAN part of your Nomad.

USB Mass-Storage devices examples include memory-keys, hard disks, some digital cameras, and memory card readers. Before purchasing a USB peripheral, check with the manufacturer to ensure that it will operate with one of these natively supported USB classes. Some devices have no applicability in Windows Mobile. For example, mice do not make sense to use with your unit because it is designed to be touchscreen operated. Serial I/O Boot: For use with serial devices. NOTE: COM1 is always reserved for the 9-pin port, even if you dont have a unit with a serial boot. 7 Working with the Unit and the Battery Battery life: The Lithium-Ion (Li-Ion) battery life is dependent upon the application and operating environment. Frequent keypad and display backlight usage, heavy usage of the Wireless LAN

(WLAN), cold temperatures, GPS, and high power consumption CF and SD devices can all significantly reduce the battery life. Other factors that may have some impact on battery life include heavy usage of the Bluetooth radio and heavy processing by the CPU, but these factors are typically less significant. Tips for extending the battery life:

- Keypad backlight: The default is off. This backlight uses a lot of power so use only when necessary. For information on changing the backlight settings, see page 16.

- Display backlight: The default is on. Minimize the amount of time the backlight stays on when idle. Dim the backlight to only as bright as required to view the display.

- Wireless LAN: If your unit comes with embedded WLAN, use ONLY when necessary. Turn off when not needed.

- Cold temperatures: Keep the unit as warm as possible. If feasible, keep it inside your coat or a vehicle when not in use.

- GPS: Ensure that the GPS-aware applications that communicate with the GPS are closed when not being actively used. The Today screen tells if the GPS is running.

- Expansion ports: Use low-power consumption CF and SD cards and use them only when necessary.

- Auto features: Tap Start / Settings / System / Power /

Advanced. Make sure the unit is powered off when not in use with the shortest amount of time. Charging the battery: The battery can be charged in the unit or separate from the unit with an external battery charger, sold as an accessory. Connect the appropriate AC plug to the AC adapter. Plug into an electrical outlet and plug the barrel end of the AC adapter into the unit. The unit will be fully charged in about 4 to 4.5 hours. A full charge is indicated by the battery LED (right side of the unit) turning green. The manufacturer recommended 8 temperature range for charging the battery is between 0C and

+45C (+32F and +113F). If the battery temperature is outside of this range, the battery will not charge. Warning! Be sure to only use the AC adapter included with your unit. Use of other adapters will void the product warranty. Battery Status (right LED) Color Off Solid yellow Solid green Blinking yellow Function On battery power Charging on AC adapter Fully charged on AC adapter Battery fault during charging (temperature out of range, defective or missing battery) Changing the battery: The battery is designed to be quickly changed (if you have additional batteries). The unit saves enough power that if you swap the battery within approximately one minute, it will not trigger a reset. If the saved power runs out before the new battery is installed, the unit will reset. This will not impact saved data, programs or configuration, however unsaved data will be lost and the time will need to be reset. To change a battery, perform the following steps:

Follow the setup instructions that came with your software. If prompted, perform a reset to complete the installation. 26 Caring for your Unit Cleaning the unit Clean the unit with a soft cloth dampened with either water or a diluted mild detergent. If a mild detergent is used, rinse with water to ensure all residue is removed. Do not use any chemical cleaners and do not put the unit in the dishwasher. Care of the touchscreen Use only the included stylus or other devices specifically designed for use with touchscreens. Ensure that you DO NOT use the metal screwdriver end of the stylus on the touchscreen or it will scratch your screen. Only use the smooth end of the stylus. The use of ballpoint pens, nails or other sharp objects to operate the touchscreen will scratch and/or damage the unit. Keep the touchscreen clean by gently wiping the display, using a soft cloth dampened either with clean water or glass cleaner. Do not use abrasive cleaners or apply any cleaner directly to the display. Doing so will void your warranty. Use the screen protectors included with the unit to keep the touchscreen clean and protected, following the instructions provided on the screen protector package. Case vent hole A GoreTex membrane is used at the vent hole to equalize the atmospheric pressure Vent within the unit and to prevent dust, water, hole etc. from entering. The vent must remain clear of any obstruction. Damage to the touchscreen will occur if the vent is covered. Covering the vent with stickers and labels may void the warranty. Mechanical shock The unit is designed to resist damage for drops up to 1.22 meters

(4.0 ft). However, you should protect the display from impact, pressure, or abrasive substances that can scratch it or crack it. The unit should not be dropped unnecessarily. 27 Environmental Considerations The units rugged design allows you to run your applications in harsh outdoor environments. Here are some considerations that will help you get the most out of your unit when working in very wet, hot or cold conditions. Water This unit is designed to withstand accidental immersion. To maintain the units water resistant seal, it is important to ensure that the quarter turn fasteners on the cap are clamped. Keep the bottom boot and its connectors as dry as possible. If the boot does get wet, dry off the contacts as much as possible. Removal of the back case torx screws or failure to reattach the cap or boot could cause leakage and will void your warranty. Temperature range The operational temperature range is from -30C to +60C (-22F to +140 F). Although the unit is designed to be rugged, do not leave it in direct sunlight or in a parked vehicle in the sunlight for extended periods. Batteries perform best at room temperatures. The battery also has a very stable capacity as temperatures rise above the human comfort level. However, cold temperatures cause battery life to drop, and the colder the temperature the greater the reduction in available battery life. Under very cold conditions (-20C / -4F and below), you can expect your battery life to be shortened. When working in very cold conditions, consider carrying a fully charged, spare battery in a warm place. The unit is designed so that battery replacement can be easily done. The battery performance will improve by keeping the unit and the spare battery warm (for instance, keeping them inside your coat). 28 Safe use of your Unit Carrying the unit Due to radio frequency emissions, it is unsafe to operate the radio with the unit in a holster, dangling from a lanyard, or with any method that keeps the powered unit in very close proximity to the head or torso. For safe operation, carry the unit in your hand with the antennas located at least 20 cm (~8 inches) from the head or torso. Repair Do not attempt to dismantle the unit for repair. There are no user-

serviceable parts inside. For service, use the contact details listed on the cover of this manual or contact your local dealer. Battery safety Use only the battery supplied with your unit to power the unit. Use of other power sources could damage the unit, void your warranty and pose safety hazards. Caution: Do not expose to temperatures above 70 C (158 F) Do not short external contacts. Do not disassemble or mistreat the battery. Failure to follow those instructions may present risk of explosion, fire or high temperatures. There are no user-serviceable parts in the battery pack. Handle a damaged battery with extreme care. If the electrolyte comes in contact with your skin, wash the exposed area with soap and water. If it comes in contact with the eye, flush the eye with water for 15 minutes and seek medical attention. Lithium-Ion batteries are classified by the U. S. Federal Government as non-hazardous waste and are safe for disposal in the normal municipal waste stream. These batteries, however, do contain recyclable materials and are accepted for recycling. AC adapter safety Use only AC and vehicle adapters intended for the unit. Other external power sources may damage your product and void the warranty. 29 Make certain the input voltage on the adapter matches the voltage in your location. Make certain the adapter has prongs compatible with your outlets. AC adapters are designed for indoor use only. Avoid using the AC adapter in wet areas. Unplug the AC adapter from power when not in use. Do not short the output connector. 30 Environmental Specifications TEMPERATURE Operation: -30 to +60 C (-22 to +140 F) Storage: -40 to +70 C (-40 to +158 F) Shock: MIL-STD-810F, Method 503.4 MIL-STD-810F, Method 507.4 IP67, sealed against accidental immersion (submersible to 1 meter for 30 minutes), MIL-STD 810F, Method 512.4, Procedure 1 MIL-STD-810F, Method 516.5, Procedure IV 26 drops @1.22 m (4 ft.) onto plywood over concrete; 6 drops

however, doing this will reduce battery life. You can also change background theme found under Start / Settings / Personal /

Today. Confirm that you have only one screen protector in place. 32 Can I use my SDIO device with my unit?

SDIO devices work as long as they are supported with Microsoft Windows 6 drivers. An extended cap, sold as an accessory, can be used for oversized SD cards. How can I see file extensions or file attributes?

The File Explorer included in Windows Mobile does not have any support for viewing file extensions or attributes like the Windows Explorer program on a PC. There are two ways to get around this limitation. You can connect the unit to your PC and browse from the PC to view file extensions and attributes. (Refer to Connecting to a PC on page 19 for details.) Alternatively, third-party file management programs are available for Windows Mobile devices that may support a Recycle Bin as well as viewing file extensions, file attributes, zip archives and more. Can I work with Microsoft Office files in Word Mobile and Excel Mobile?

Office Mobile applications are trimmed down versions of the PC Microsoft Office applications that allow you to view simple documents and to make simple changes on your unit. However, they do not support all of the formatting and other features that are supported by the PC applications. Can I use my USB memory stick (or mouse, keyboard, cell phone or other USB device) with my unit?

Memory sticks and many other USB devices will work. Other USB devices may require special drivers that must come from the device manufacturer. Check with the device manufacturer to see if the device is supported under Microsoft Windows Mobile. 33 Regulatory Information U.S.A. This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
