Installation and Getting Started Guide
You will notice that the Turn Wireless On icon is an antenna, but when you click
the icon, the function name changes to Turn Wireless Off and the icon changes to
an airplane. The airplane icon is a reminder to turn off your handheld’s radio when
on an airplane, in a hospital, or in any place where your handheld may interfere
with other radio transmissions and frequencies.
Registering with the network
If your handheld is activated on the network and you turn on the wireless radio, a
registration message should arrive. In the rare case that the registration message
does not arrive, check the wireless coverage indicator on the Home screen to ensure
that you are in an area of sufficient wireless coverage for receiving email messages.
You can receive email messages if
GPRS appears below the wireless coverage
indicator in the top right corner of the Home screen. One or more bars must also
appear beside the wireless coverage indicator to send and receive email messages.
If you are in a wireless coverage area and you have not received a Registration
message, register your handheld manually, using the following procedure:
To register with the network manually
1. On the Home screen, click the
Options
icon. The Device Options screen
appears.
2. Click Network . The Network screen appears
3. Ensure that the Radio field is set to On and that the Active Network field is set
to an active network.
Note You should turn off your handheld’s radio if you are going to be out of a
wireless coverage area for an extended period of time. Turning off the radio
during this time will greatly improve battery life.
Note You cannot send or receive email messages if GSM appears below the
wireless coverage indicator in the top right corner of the Home screen.
Note If you are unsure which active network you are using, click the trackwheel to
view the menu. Click Select Active Network. Your handheld will scan for all
available networks. You can select the network you want to use.
