9.1 E-mail Messages: Using Messaging You can set up a connection to an e-mail server so that you can send and receive e-mail messages by using a modem or network connection and Inbox on your device. Note: The ISP or network must use a POP3 or IMAP4 e-mail server and an SMTP gateway. You can use multiple e-mail services to receive your messages. For each e-mail service you intend to use, first set up and name the e-mail service.
Sending and Receiving E-mail You can use Inbox to send and receive e-mail messages in either of these ways: Synchronize e-mail messages with Microsoft® Exchange or Microsoft® Outlook® on your PC. Connect directly to an e-mail server through an Internet service provider (ISP) or a network. You also can use Messaging to send and receive Text Messages; it supports 8 bits of data with class 0, 1, 2, 3, and Unstructured Supplementary Service Data (USSD) as well.
When working offline, once you have downloaded new message headers or partial messages, you can disconnect from the e-mail server and then decide which messages to download completely. The next time you connect, Inbox downloads the complete messages you have marked for retrieval and sends the messages you have composed. Using the Message List Messages you receive are displayed in the message list. By default, the most recently received messages are displayed first in the list.
Tip: Phone messages can be sent by entering the phone numbers in the To field. 3. Compose your message. (To enter preset or frequently used messages, tap My Text and select a message.) 4. Tap the button when you have finished the message. (If you are working offline, the message is moved to the Outbox folder and will be sent the next time you connect.) 9.2 SMS Text Messaging Your PPC6600 and Sprint PCS Account let you quickly and easily send text messages using the Sprint Nationwide PCS Network.

You can install any other programs created for your device, as long as your device has enough memory. You can find popular software programs for your device on the Sprint PCS Web site at http://www.sprintpcs.com.
To add a program directly from the Internet: 1. Determine your device and processor type so that you know which version of the software to install. 2. Download the program to your device directly from the Internet using Pocket Internet Explorer. You may see a single *.xip, *.exe or *.zip file, a setup.exe file, or several versions of files for different device types and processors. Be sure to select the program designed for the PPC6600 and your device processor type. 3.
12.2 Managing Memory Memory on your PPC6600 is shared between storage memory and program memory. Storage memory is used to store the information you created and programs you installed. Program memory is used to run programs on your device. PPC6600 automatically manages the allocation between storage and program memory. To view memory allocation and availability: Tap > Settings > System tab > Memory.

Saving New Items on the Storage Card Set programs such as Notes, Pocket Word, and Pocket Excel to automatically save new items on the storage card. 1.
12.3 Backing Up Files Because any new programs or data are stored in RAM, and therefore will be lost if your device loses power for any reason, it is critical that you backup files to your computer or a memory card. When you are at your desktop you can synchronize with your computer to back up files. However, if you are going outside and unable to access your desktop, you will need to back up files to an SD or MMC card.
Backing up or Restoring Your System Using xBackup 1. Tap , select Programs, then tap the xBackup icon, and then select the Backup or Restore tab. 2. If you have inserted the SD card properly it will appear next to Target by tapping Open and selecting Storage Card under the task bar. 3. Make sure there are no application programs running, then tap Start.
12.4 Resetting the PPC6600 and Clearing Memory You can perform a soft reset or a full reset. During a soft reset, the device is restarted and only some data in open programs may be lost. However, a full reset turns the battery off and returns the device to its original factory settings and deletes all programs, files, contacts, and other information you have saved to the device.
Performing a Full Reset A full device reset clears memory, deletes all data and restores the PPC6600 to its default settings. Programs installed at the factory remain, while data you have created and programs you have installed are all erased. Press and hold the power button, and then use the stylus to press and hold the Reset button at the same time. Note: Be sure you have backed up all your data in a SD card or in your PC before performing a full reset. Press and hold the power button.

c) SAR Information THIS MODEL DEVICE MEETS THE GOVERNMENT'S REQUIREMENTS FOR EXPOSURE TO RADIO WAVES. Your wireless mobile CDMA phone is a radio transmitter and receiver. It 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. These limits are part of comprehensive guidelines and establish permitted levels of RF energy for the general population.
* In the U.S. and Canada, the SAR limit for mobile CDMA phone used by the public is 1.6 Watts/kg (W/kg) averaged over one gram of tissue.The standard incorporates a substantial margin of safety to give additional protection for the public and to account for any variations in usage. Normal condition only to ensure the radiative performance and safety of the interference.
12.8 Driver Safety Tips Your wireless telephone gives you the powerful ability to communicate by voice -- almost anywhere, anytime. But an important responsibility accompanies the benefits of wireless phones, one that every user must uphold. When driving a car, driving is your first responsibility.When using your wireless phone behind the wheel of a car, practice good common sense and remember the following tips: 1. Get to know your wireless phone and its features such as speed dial and redial.
9. Use your wireless phone to help others in emergencies. If you see an auto accident, crime in progress or other serious emergency where lives are in danger, call 911 or other local emergency number, as you would want others to do for you. 10. Call roadside assistance or a special non-emergency wireless assistance number when necessary.
What is the FDA's role concerning the safety of wireless phones? Under the law, the FDA does not review the safety of radiation-emitting consumer products such as wireless phones before they can be sold, as it does with new drugs or medical devices. However, the agency has authority to take action if wireless phones are shown to emit radio frequency energy (RF) at a level that is hazardous to the user.
What kinds of phones are the subject of this update? The term “wireless phone” refers here to hand-held wireless phones with built-in antennas, often called “cell,” “mobile,” or “PCS” phones. These types of wireless phones can expose the user to measurable radio frequency energy (RF) because of the short distance between the phone and the user’s head.
What research is needed to decide whether RF exposure from wireless phones poses a health risk? A combination of laboratory studies and epidemiological studies of people actually using wireless phones would provide some of the data that is needed. Lifetime animal exposure studies could be completed in a few years. However, very large numbers of animals would be needed to provide reliable proof of a cancer promoting effect if one exists.
What steps can I take to reduce my exposure to radio frequency energy from my wireless phone? If there is a risk from these products--and at this point we do not know that there is - -it is probably very small. But if you are concerned about avoiding even potential risks, you can take a few simple steps to minimize your exposure to radio frequency energy (RF). Since time is a key factor in how much exposure a person receives, reducing the amount of time spent using a wireless phone will reduce RF exposure.
The final draft, a joint effort by FDA, medical device manufacturers, and many other groups, was completed in late 2000.This standard will allow manufacturers to ensure that cardiac pacemakers and defibrillators are safe from wireless phone EMI. The FDA has tested hearing aids for interference from handheld wireless phones and helped develop a voluntary standard sponsored by the Institute of Electrical and Electronic Engineers (IEEE).
standard also requires ovens to have two independent interlock systems that prevent the oven from generating microwaves the moment that the latch is released or the door of the oven is opened. The FDA has stated that ovens that meet its standards and are used according to the manufacturer's recommendations are safe for consumer and industrial use. More information is available from: http://www.fda.gov/cdrh.
Who funds and carries out research on the biological effects of RF energy? Research into possible biological effects of RF energy is carried out in laboratories in the United States and around the world. In the U.S., most research has been funded by the Department of Defense, due to the extensive military use of RF equipment such as radar and high-powered radio transmitters. In addition, some federal agencies responsible for health and safety, such as the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and the U.S.
variability is known as “measurement uncertainty.” When the FCC conducts post-grant testing of a cell phone, it takes into account any measurement uncertainty to determine whether regulatory action is appropriate.This approach ensures that when the FCC takes regulatory action, it will have a sound, defensible scientific basis.
