A product should be operated only from the type of power source indicated on the electrical ratings
label. If you are not sure of the type of power source required, consult your authorized service provider
or local power company. For a product that operates from battery power or other sources, refer to the
operating instructions that are included with the product.
•
Handle battery packs carefully
This product contains a Li-ion battery. There is a risk of fire and burns if the battery pack is handled
improperly. Do not attempt to open or service the battery pack. Do not disassemble, crush, puncture,
short external contacts or circuits, dispose of in fire or water, or expose a battery pack to temperatures
higher than 60˚C (140˚F).
WARNING: Danger of explosion if battery is incorrectly replaced. To reduce risk of fire or burns, do not
disassemble, crush, puncture, short external contacts, expose to temperature above 60˚C (140˚F), or
dispose of in fire or water. Replace only with specified batteries. Recycle or dispose of used batteries
according to the local regulations or reference guide supplied with your product.
•
Take extra precautions
• Keep the battery or device dry and away from water or any liquid as it may cause a short circuit.
• Keep metal objects away so they don’t come in contact with the battery or its connectors as it may
lead to short circuit during operation.
• Do not use a battery that appears damaged, deformed, or discolored, or the one that has any rust on
its casing, overheats, or emits a foul odour.
• Always keep the battery out of the reach of babies and small children, to avoid swallowing of the
battery. Consult the doctor immediately if the battery is swallowed.
• If the battery leaks:
• Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with skin or clothing. If already in contact, flush
the affected area immediately with clean water and seek medical advice.
• Do not allow the leaking fluid to come in contact with eyes. If already in contact, DO NOT rub; rinse
with clean water immediately and seek medical advice.
• Take extra precautions to keep a leaking battery away from fire as there is a danger of ignition or
explosion.
• Communicate the appropriate steps immediately in case a hazard occurs.
SAFETY PRECAUTIONS FOR DIRECT SUNLIGHT
Keep this product away from excessive moisture and extreme temperatures. Do not leave the product or
its battery inside a vehicle or in places where the temperature may exceed 60°C (140°F), such as on a car
dashboard, window sill, or behind a glass that is exposed to direct sunlight or strong ultraviolet light for
extended periods of time. This may damage the product, overheat the battery, or pose a risk to the vehicle.
PREVENTION OF HEARING LOSS
Caution: Avoid potential hearing loss
Prolonged exposure to loud sounds (including music) is the most common cause of preventable hearing
loss. Some scientific research suggests that using portable audio devices, such as portable music players and
cellular telephones, at high volume settings for long durations may lead to permanent noise-induced hearing
loss. This includes the use of headphones (including headsets, earbuds and Bluetooth® or other wireless
devices). Exposure to very loud sound has also been associated in some studies with tinnitus (a ringing in the
5
ear), hypersensitivity to sound and distorted hearing. Individual susceptibility to noise-induced hearing loss
and other potential hearing problems varies.
The amount of sound produced by a portable audio device varies depending on the nature of the sound, the
device, the device settings and the headphones. You should follow some commonsense recommendations
when using any portable audio device:
•
•
Set the volume in a quiet environment and select the lowest volume at which you can hear adequately.
When using headphones, turn the volume down if you cannot hear the people speaking near you or if
the person sitting next to you can hear what you are listening to.
•
Do not turn the volume up to block out noisy surroundings. If you choose to listen to your portable
device in a noisy environment, use noise-cancelling headphones to block out background
environmental noise.
•
•
•
Limit the amount of time you listen. As the volume increases, less time is required before your hearing
could be affected.
Avoid using headphones after exposure to extremely loud noises, such as rock concerts, that might
cause temporary hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss might cause unsafe volumes to sound normal.
Do not listen at any volume that causes you discomfort. If you experience ringing in your ears, hear
muffled speech or experience any temporary hearing difficulty after listening to your portable audio
device, discontinue use and consult your doctor.

Tips on using Smart Dialing
Smart Dialing starts looking for numbers or contacts that match the sequence you have entered. Below are
some tips on how to use Smart Dialing to quickly find a desired phone number or contact.
To find a phone number
•
•
Simply enter the first one or two digits to find a phone number in Call History.
Enter the first three digits or more if you want to find a phone number from the saved contacts on your
device.
To find a contact name
You can just enter the first letter of a contact’s first name or surname. Smart Dialing will search for the letter
starting from the first character of a contact name as well as from the character that appears after a space,
dash, or underscore in a contact name. For example, if you tap number “2”which is associated with [a, b, c]
on the Phone keypad, contact names such as the following will be considered matches: “Ben Miller”, “George
Adams”, “John-Carter”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”, “Thomas_Clark”, “JaneCampbell”.
If the matching list is long and you want to narrow down the search further, enter another letter. Using the
same example above, if you continue to tap “3”which is associated with [d, e, f], the matching list will be
narrowed down to the following names: “Ben Miller”, “George Adams”, “Carter, Ellen”, “Dixon, Allan”.
Make a call or send a text message using Smart Dialing
1. Press the TALK button on your device to open the Phone screen.
2. Begin entering the first few numbers or characters.

it. Hence, your device must be configured with the location of the MMS server for you to be able to send and
receive MMS messages on your device.

8.1 Synchronizing Your XV6900 with the Exchange Server
To keep up-to-date with your company e-mail while you’re out of the office, you can connect your XV6900
to the Internet wirelessly and synchronize it with your company’s Exchange Server. You can also access your
company address book anytime. Your company must have a mail server that is running Microsoft Exchange
Server with Exchange ActiveSync.
Set up an Exchange Server connection
Before you can synchronize or access information on the Exchange Server, you need to set up an Exchange
Server connection on your XV6900. You need to get the following information from your network
administrator and enter them on your XV6900:
•
•
•
Exchange Server name (must be the Outlook Web Access server name)
Domain name
User name and password that you use at work
If you have not synchronized your XV6900 with your PC, follow these steps to set up an Exchange Server
connection.
1. Tap Start > Messaging > New E-mail Account.
2. Enter your e-mail address. Clear the Try to get e-mail settings automatically from the Internet check
box, then tap Next.
3. Select Exchange server in the Your e-mail provider list, then tap Next.
4. Tap Next again.
5. In Server address, enter the Exchange Server name, and tap Next.
6. Enter your user name, password, and domain, and tap Next.
Tip
To change the rules for resolving synchronization conflicts, tap Advanced.
7. Select the items that you want to sync with the Exchange Server.
8. To change synchronization settings of an information type, for example, E-mail, select the type of
information, and tap Settings.
9. Tap Finish.
Note
If you synchronized e-mails with your PC before, open ActiveSync on your XV6900 and tap Menu > Add Server
Source to set up an Exchange Server connection. When you're prompted to select information types for
synchronization, you need to clear the E-mail check box under the Windows PC item first before you can select
E-mail under Exchange Server.
Tip
To change Exchange Server settings, open ActiveSync then tap Menu > Configure Server.
Start synchronization
Before you start synchronizing with the Exchange Server, make sure your XV6900 has been set up with a data
connection to the Internet so that you can synchronize wirelessly. For more information about connections,

You can manually start synchronization anytime by tapping Sync in ActiveSync.
Note
If you connect your XV6900 to your office computer via a USB or Bluetooth connection, you can use this
connection to the PC to “pass through”to the network and download Outlook e-mails and other information to
your XV6900.
Working With Company E-mail and Meeting Appointments 87
8.2 Working With Company E-mail
Your XV6900 gives you instant access to your company e-mail and lets you manage your messages easier.
Direct Push, Fetch Mail, Remote e-mail search, and e-mail flags are just some of the tools you can use to
manage your e-mails.
Note
Some messaging features depend on the Microsoft Exchange Server version used in your company. Please
check with your network administrator for the availability of these features.
Automatic synchronization through Direct Push
Direct Push technology (push e-mail feature) enables you to receive new e-mails on your XV6900 as soon as
they arrive in your Inbox on the Exchange Server. With this feature, items such as contacts, calendar and tasks
are also immediately updated onto your XV6900 when these items have been changed or new entries have
been added on the Exchange Server. To make Direct Push work, you need to have a data connection on your
XV6900.
You need to perform a full synchronization between your XV6900 and the Exchange Server first before Direct
Push can be enabled.
Requirement
The Direct Push feature works for the device only if your company is using Microsoft Exchange Server
2003 Service Pack 2 (SP2) with Exchange ActiveSync or higher version.
To enable Direct Push via Comm Manager
1. Tap Start > Programs > Comm Manager or tap Start > Settings > Connections tab > Comm
Manager.
2. On the Comm Manager screen, tap the DirectPush button to enable or disable DirectPush.
When enabled, the ON indicator is activated, which indicates that you will receive e-mails as they
arrive. When disabled, you need to manually retrieve your e-mails.
To enable Direct Push via ActiveSync
1. In ActiveSync on your XV6900, tap Menu > Schedule.
2. Select As items arrive in the Peak times and Off-peak times boxes.
Scheduled synchronization
If you do not want to use Direct Push, you can set a regular schedule for synchronizing Outlook e-mail and
information.
1. In ActiveSync on your XV6900, tap Menu > Schedule.
2. Select a shorter time interval in the Peak times box for you to be able to receive e-mails more
frequently. (Peak times which usually refer to your working hours when e-mail volume is high).
3. Select a longer interval in the Off-peak times box.
Tip
To set the days and hours that make up your peak and off-peak times, tap Adjust peak times to fit your
schedule.

Instant download through Fetch Mail
The Fetch Mail feature downloads an entire e-mail immediately without the need for you to perform a full
Send/Receive action. This limits the download to just the e-mail message that you want and helps save data
cost.
Requirement
Fetch Mail works for your XV6900 only if your company is using Microsoft Exchange Server 2007 or
higher.
1. Tap Start > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.
2. Tap an e-mail message to open it.
3. By default, only the first few kilobytes of the message is shown. To download the whole e-mail, finger-

8.5 E-mail Security
Windows Mobile protects your Outlook e-mails through Secure/Multipurpose Internet Mail Extension
(S/MIME), which allows you to digitally sign and encrypt your messages.
Digitally signing a message applies your certificate with the authorization key to the message. This proves to
the recipient that the message is from you and not from an impostor or a hacker, and that the message has
not been altered.
Encryption protects the privacy of your message by converting it from plain, readable text into cipher
(scrambled) text. Only the recipient who has the authorization key can decipher the message.
Requirement
S/MIME encryption and digital signatures for Windows Mobile-based devices are available only with
Exchange Server 2003 SP2 or a later version that supports S/MIME. If your company is not using
one of these products, or you have not completed your first synchronization with the Exchange Server,
these options are unavailable.
Note
You can encrypt a message with or without a certificate. However, to read an encrypted message, you need a
valid certificate to decrypt it.
To individually sign and encrypt a new message
1. Tap Start > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.
2. Tap Menu > New to create a new message.
3. Tap Menu > Message Options.
4. From the Security list, select whether to encrypt only, sign the message only, or do both.
5. Tap OK.
To verify the digital signature on a signed message you receive
1. Open the Outlook e-mail message that has been digitally signed.
2. At the top of the message, tap View Signature Status.
3. Tap Menu > Check Certificate. To view the details of the certificate in the message, tap Menu > View
Certificate.
Note
There can be several reasons why a digital signature is not valid. For example, the sender’s certificate may
have expired, it may have been revoked by the certificate authority, or the server that verifies the certificate is
unavailable. Contact the sender to report the problem.
To digitally sign and encrypt all messages
You can set up ActiveSync to digitally sign and encrypt all outgoing messages. You must obtain a valid
certificate to sign and encrypt e-mail messages successfully.
1. Tap Start > Programs > ActiveSync.
2. Tap Menu > Options.
3. Select the E-mail information type, and tap Settings. On the E-mail Sync Options screen, tap
Advanced.
Working With Company E-mail and Meeting Appointments 93
4. Do one or both of the following:
•
To sign all your outgoing e-mail messages so that recipients can be certain that the messages
were sent by you and have not been altered in any way, select the Sign all outgoing e-mail
messages check box.
•
To encrypt all your outgoing e-mail messages so that the contents of your messages are protected
from being viewed by anyone other than the intended recipients, select the Encrypt all outgoing
e-mail messages check box.
5. Tap Choose Certificate to select a certificate for signing or encrypting outgoing e-mail messages.
You can select certificates to sign or encrypt e-mail messages individually if you do not choose to sign
or encrypt all outgoing e-mail. For information about signing and encrypting individual messages, see
“To individually sign and encrypt a new message.”
Set Permissions on an E-mail Message
Another way of protecting your e-mail messages is to send messages with restricted permissions using
Information Rights Management (IRM).
Note This works only with a Microsoft Outlook e-mail account and if your company is using RMS Server SP1.
1. Tap Start > Messaging > Outlook E-mail.
2. Create a message, and then tap Menu > Message Options.
3. In Permissions, do one of the following:

FCC Hearing-Aid Compatibility (HAC) Regulations for Wireless Devices
On July 10, 2003, the U.S. Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Report and Order in WT Docket 01-
309 modified the exception of wireless phones under the Hearing Aid Compatibility Act of 1988 (HAC Act)
to require digital wireless phones be compatible with hearing-aids. The intent of the HAC Act is to ensure
reasonable access to telecommunications services for persons with hearing disabilities.
While some wireless phones are used near some hearing devices (hearing aids and cochlear implants), users
may detect a buzzing, humming, or whining noise. Some hearing devices are more immune than others to
this interference noise, and phones also vary in the amount of interference they generate.
The wireless telephone industry has developed a rating system for wireless phones, to assist hearing device
users find phones that may be compatible with their hearing devices. Not all phones have been rated. Phones
that are rated have the rating on their box or a label located on the box.
Appendix 149
The ratings are not guarantees. Results will vary depending on the user’s hearing device and hearing loss.
If your hearing device happens to be vulnerable to interference, you may not be able to use a rated phone
successfully. Trying out the phone with your hearing device is the best way to evaluate it for your personal
needs.
M-Ratings: Phones rated M3 or M4 meet FCC requirements and are likely to generate less interference to
hearing devices than phones that are not labeled. M4 is the better/higher of the two ratings. VOGU100 is
rated M3.
Please power off the Bluetooth function while using hearing aid devices with your VOGU100.
Hearing devices may also be rated. Your hearing device manufacturer or hearing health professional may
help you find this rating. Higher ratings mean that the hearing device is relatively immune to interference
noise. The hearing aid and wireless phone rating values are then added together. A sum of 5 is considered
acceptable for normal use. A sum of 6 is considered for better use. A sum of 8 is considered for best use.
In the above example, if a hearing aid meets the M2 level rating and the wireless phone meets the M3 level
rating, the sum of the two values equal M5. This should provide the hearing aid user with “normal usage”
while using their hearing aid with the particular wireless phone. “Normal usage”in this context is defined as a
signal quality that is acceptable for normal operation.
The M mark is intended to be synonymous with the U mark. The T mark is intended to be synonymous
with the UT mark. The M and T marks are recommended by the Alliance for Telecommunications Industries
Solutions (ATIS). The U and UT marks are referenced in Section 20.19 of the FCC Rules. The HAC rating and
measurement procedure are described in the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) C63.19 standard.
