Getting your device ready  
Installing the SIM card and battery  
Before you can make a phone call using your P550, you need to install a Subscriber Identity  
Module (SIM) card. The SIM card contains your phone number, subscriber details, phone  
book, and additional phone memory.  
Your P550 comes with a rechargeable Lithium-Ion battery.  
New batteries come partially discharged and should be fully charged before using them. They  
generally do not reach their rated capacity until they have been charged and discharged at  
least four (4) times. We recommend that new batteries be charged overnight even though  
they may indicate that the charge is complete after a few hours. Sometimes charging may  
stop during the initial charge and it is necessary to remove the battery for approximately  
fifteen (15) minutes and then put it back on charge.  
CAUTION:  
Use only an ASUS qualified battery.  
To install a SIM card and battery:  
1. Remove the battery compartment cover.  
1ꢄ  
2. Remove the battery.  
3. Insert the SIM card with its gold  
contacts facing down and the notched  
corner oriented to the lower right  
corner of the slot as shown.  
4. Replace the battery into the  
compartment with its copper contacts  
properly aligned to the copper  
conductor on the device.  
5. Replace the battery compartment  
cover.  
1ꢅ  
Charging the battery  
The bundled battery pack is shipped partially charged. Charge the battery up to four (4) hours  
before using for the first time.  
To charge battery:  
1. Connect the AC adapter plug to the mini-USB connector at the bottom of the device.  
2. Connect the AC power plug to a grounded wall socket or power strip.  
NOTE:  
The notification LED turns red and charging battery icon appears on the status bar indicating that the battery is  
charging.  
If your battery gets totally discharged, you need to recharge it for at least twenty minutes before you can turn it  
back on.

Using ActiveSync™  
ActiveSync™ allows you to synchronize data in your device with data in your computer.  
ActiveSync can also synchronize over a wireless or cellular network with Microsoft Exchange  
Server, provided that your cellular phone service or company is running Microsoft Exchange  
Server with Exchange ActiveSync. When synchronized directly with Exchange Server, you can  
stay up to date even when your PC is turned off.  
During synchronization, ActiveSync compares the data in your device with the data in your  
computer or Exchange Server, and updates all data with recent changes.  
You can select and synchronize data in the following locations using ActiveSync:  
• Contacts  
• Calendar  
• Email  
Tasks  
• Notes  
• Favorites  
• Files  
• Media  
You can also exchange data between your computer and device without synchronizing.  
ActiveSync is already installed in your device, but before you can synchronize data with  
your computer, you must first install ActiveSync in your computer. Install ActiveSync from the  
Microsoft Getting Started CD that came with your device package.  
After you have installed ActiveSync, set up a sync relationship between your device and your  
computer. ActiveSync recognizes your device and automatically transfers the synchronization  
settings you have in your device.  
ꢁꢄ  
If you wish to synchronize your device with Exchange Server through your company or service  
provider, obtain the name of the Exchange Server, user name, password, and domain name  
from your network administrator before starting the Sync Setup Wizard.  
To install and configure ActiveSync in your computer:  
1. Insert the Microsoft Getting Started CD that came with your device package.  
2. Follow the screen instructions.  
3. After the setup is complete, the Sync Setup Wizard automatically starts when you  
connect your device to your computer. Follow the screen instructions to complete the  
wizard.  
4. From the Sync Setup Wizard, you can:  
• Configure an Exchange Server connection to synchronize directly with an Exchange  
Server. Acquire from your network administrator the required parameters for input.  
• Create a synchronization relationship between your computer and your device.  
5. Select the information type that you want to synchronize.  
6. After you finish the wizard, ActiveSync automatically synchronizes your device. You can  
disconnect the device after the synchronization is complete.  
NOTE:  
• When connected, your device automatically synchronizes with your computer. ActiveSync synchronizes everytime  
you make a change on either the device or computer.  
You cannot use WLAN to synchronize a database.  
• Refer to your Windows® Mobile Help, for more information about ActiveSync synchronization.

RF Exposure Information (SAR)  
THIS MODEL MEETS INTERNATIONAL GUIDELINES FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES  
Your mobile device is a radio transmitter and receiver. It is designed not to exceed the limits  
for exposure to radio waves recommended by international guidelines. These guidelines were  
developed by the independent scientific organization ICNIRP and include safety margins  
designed to assure the protection of all persons, regardless of age and health.  
The guidelines use a unit of measurement known as the Specific Absorption Rate, or SAR.  
The ICNIRP SAR limit for mobile devices used by the general public is 2 W/kg and the highest  
SAR value for this device when tested at the ear was 0.41 W/kg*. As mobile devices offer a  
range of functions, they can be used in other positions, such as on the body as described in  
this user guide. In this case, the highest tested SAR value is 1.99 W/kg*.  
As SAR is measured utilizing the device’s highest transmitting power, the actual SAR of  
this device while operating is typically below that indicated above. This is due to automatic  
changes to the power level of the device to ensure it only uses the minimum level required to  
reach the network.  
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various  
positions, they all meet the governmental requirements for safe exposure. The improvements  
to this product model could cause differences in the SAR value for later products; in all cases,  
products are designed to be within the guidelines.  
The World Health Organization has stated that present scientific information does not indicate  
the need for any special precautions for the use of mobile devices. They note that if you  
want to reduce your exposure then you can do so by limiting the length of calls or using a  
‘handsfree’ device to keep the mobile phone away from the head and body.  
1ꢄꢂ  
Additional Information can be found on the websites of the World Health Organization  
(http://www.who.int/emf).  
* The tests are carried out in accordance with international guidelines for testing. The limit incorporates  
a substantial margin for safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any  
variations in measurements. Additional related information includes the ASUS testing protocol,  
assessment procedure, and measurement uncertainty range for this product.  
FCC Regulations  
• This mobile phone complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two  
conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any  
interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.  
• This mobile phone has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device,  
pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection  
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses and can  
radiated radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may  
cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference  
will not occur in a particular installation If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio  
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is  
encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:  
-Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.  
-Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
-Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.  
-Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the  
user‘s authority to operate the equipment.  
1ꢄꢃ  
RF Exposure Information (FCC SAR)  
This model phone meets the government’s requirements for exposure to radio waves.  
This phone is designed and manufactured not to exceed the emission limits for exposure to radio  
frequency (RF) energy set by the Federal Communications Commission of the U.S. Government.  
The exposure standard for wireless mobile phones employs a unit of measurement known as the Specific  
Absorption Rate, or SAR. The SAR limit set by the FCC is 1.6W/kg. *Tests for SAR are conducted using  
standard operating positions accepted by the FCC with the phone transmitting at its highest certified  
power level in all tested frequency bands. Although the SAR is determined at the highest certified power  
level, the actual SAR level of the phone while operating can be well below the maximum value. This is  
because the phone is designed to operate at multiple power levels so as to use only the poser required to  
reach the network. In general, the closer you are to a wireless base station antenna, the lower the power  
output.  
The highest SAR value for the model phone as reported to the FCC when tested for use at the ear  
is 0.749 W/kg and when worn on the body, as described in this user guide, is 0.904 W/kg (Body-  
worn measurements differ among phone models, depending upon available enhancements and FCC  
requirements.)  
While there may be differences between the SAR levels of various phones and at various positions, they  
all meet the government requirement.  
The FCC has granted an Equipment Authorization for this model phone with all reported SAR levels  
evaluated as in compliance with the FCC RF exposure guidelines. SAR information on this model phone  
is on file with the FCC and can be found under the Display Grant section of http://www.fcc.gov/oet/fccid  
after searching on FCC ID: MSQ-1520.  
For body worn operation, this phone has been tested and meets the FCC RF exposure guidelines for  
use with an accessory that contains no metal and the positions the handset a minimum of 1.5 cm from  
the body. Use of other enhancements may not ensure compliance with FCC RF exposure guidelines. If  
you do no t use a body-worn accessory and are not holding the phone at the ear, position the handset a  
minimum of 1.5 cm from your body when the phone is switched on.

You should never leave your phone in the window of your car or otherwise expose it to strong sunlight or  
excessive heat for a prolonged period. This may damage it.  
You should never handle your phone with wet hands or expose it to moisture or liquids of any kind.  
Continuous changes from a cold to a warm environment may lead to condensation inside the phone, resulting  
in corrosion and possible damage.  
If you pack your phone in your suitcase during travel, beware of damage. Cramming a suitcase may crack the  
LCD display. Remember to switch off your wireless connections during air travel.  
As with all other radio devices, touching the built-in antenna area during telephone conversation may impair the  
quality and lead to shorter standby time due to increased power consumption.  
The battery  
Your device is equipped with a high-performance Li-Ion battery. Optional battery types may be available; check  
with your local retailer. Observe the maintenance guidelines and your battery should give you a long service  
life.  
At the beginning of the battery’s life, fully charge and discharge (let it go flat) three times.  
Do not overcharge the Li-Ion battery, as this can result in a reduction in battery performance and  
lifespan. The recommended maximum charge time is three hours.  
Avoid repeated short charging. It is preferable to let the battery go flat and then recharge it completely.  
Avoid charging in strong heat or extreme cold. Ambient room temperature is preferable. The battery has  
its optimum performance in an ambient temperature of +5 °C to +50 °C.  
Do not store the battery near a fire or heat source.  
1ꢅ0  
Use only the battery approved by the manufacturer.  
Never replace the battery with a non-approved battery.  
Never soak the battery in water or any other fluid.

Driving safety  
Never use the handheld devices while driving. It is an offense while driving to hold a phone or cradle it in your  
neck, at any point during the setup, making or taking of a phone call, text message or any other data related  
mobile communication. Use of fully installed car kits are still permitted, as are the use of alternate handsfree  
accessories.  
In the interest of safety, we would recommend the use of a cradle while using any form of handsfree accessory.  
While driving, we recommend that you use voicemail wherever possible, and that you listen to your messages  
when you are not in the car. If you must make a handsfree call when driving, keep it brief.  
An airbag inflates with great force. Do not place objects, including both installed or portable wireless  
equipment, in the area over the airbag or in the airbag deployment area. If in-vehicle wireless equipment is  
improperly installed and the air bag inflates, serious injury could result.  
1ꢅꢀ  
Electronic devices  
Most modern electronic equipment is shielded from RF energy.  
However, certain electronic equipment may not be shielded against the RF signals from your device.  
Pacemakers  
The Health Industry Manufacturers’ Association recommends that a minimum separation of six (6”) inches  
be maintained between a 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.  
If you have a pacemaker:  
Always keep your phone more than six inches from your pacemaker when turned on.  
Do not carry your phone in a breast pocket.  
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 off your device immediately.  
Hearing aids  
Some digital devices may interfere with some hearing aids. In the event of such interference, call ASUS  
Customer Service to discuss alternatives.
