`This conditions the main battery so it will work
`correctly and also charges the backup battery to
`prevent data loss.
`
`Charging the Battery
`To charge the battery for thefirst time:
`1. Place Simon, with the battery attached, in the
`
`Important! Before you use Simonforthe first time, you
`battery charger.
`
`It needs to charge for 14—16 hours to condition
`the battery.
`(This applies only to a battery's
`first charge.
`It takes about 90 minutes to

`

`
`Installing the Battery
`To install the battery:
`1. Turn Simon over with the screen facing down.
`2. Align the battery notches with the notches on
`Simon. The top of the battery should be even
`with the bottom of the arrows, and the battery
`should lie flat on Simon.
`
`8. Slide the battery forwarduntil you heara slight
`click.
`
`
`
`
`Turning Simon On and Off
`Once you've charged the battery, your Simonis
`ready to use. This would be a good time to put
`Simonin the protective case. The case,in addition
`to giving protection, is also a good place to keep
`your stylus when you're not using it. To turn Simon
`onoroff, slide the On/Off (Resume/Suspend) switch
`up and thenrelease it. When you turn Simon "off,"
`you are really suspending Simon. The screen goes
`blank and usesa lot less energy from the battery.
`However, Simon is not completely off. You will not
`lose your data when you suspend(turn off) Simon.
`
`If you don't use Simonfor five minutes,it
`automatically suspends(turnsoff).
`(You may
`increasethis time to 10 or 15 minutes using the
`System feature from the Mobile Office screen.)
`Whenyouare ready to use Simon again, check the
`green On/ResumeLED. Ifit's on, just touch the
`screen anywhere to continue. Otherwise, slide the
`Resume/Suspend (On/Off) switch. The screen
`where you were working previously will appear.
`To save battery power, the backlight on the screen
`goesoff after one minute if you don't touch the
`
`8
`
`User's Guide
`
`screen. Just touch the screen anywhereto turn the
`backlight back on. You can use the System feature
`from the Mobile Office screen to increase the time
`that the backlight will stay on beforeit turns off.
`Keepin mind, though, that increasing this time can
`decrease the length of time that your battery will
`last.
`
`LCD Contrast Adjustment
`Simon’s LCD screen contrast may change when it
`gets hot or cold.
`If this happens, you can adjust
`your LCD contrast. There are two methods for
`adjusting screen contrast. You can touch the
`System icon on the Mobile Office screen, select
`Screen Settings, and movethe slider. Or, you can
`press and hold both volume buttons on the side of
`Simon, then release and press onebutton ata time.
`Press and release the volume-up button to increase
`the contrast, or the volume-down button to decrease
`the contrast. After you adjust contrast with this
`method, wait a few seconds before continuing to
`work with Simon.
`
`a.
`
`Using Your Touch Sensitive Screen
`Simon has a touch-sensitive screen. To enter
`numbersand letters, to select buttons, or to change
`screens, touch the desired feature (number,letter,
`button, or screen).
`
`You can touch a feature using either the stylus that
`came with this product or your finger. The stylus
`has a plastic tip on one end for using on the screen.

`
`How Simon Works
`
`Your Simonis a cellular phone with personal
`organization and communication capabilities. The
`phone has a display that shows you the screensfor
`the available features. The two main screens are
`the Phone
`screen and the Mobile Office i
`screen, and you can get to them at any time by
`touching their picture (icon) on the bottom of the
`display area. You can use the phone functions by
`touching the button for the desired feature on the
`Phone screen. You can use the personal
`organization and communication functions by
`touching the appropriate icon on the Mobile Office
`

`
`screen.
`
`
`The other end has a cap covering a ball point pen.
`Do not use the ball point pen tip to touch the
`screen.
`(From here on, the term stylus, can also
`mean yourfinger.) You can slide the stylus across
`the screen until the button you wanthighlights.
`Thenlift the stylus to select that feature.
`
`Tip: Keep in mind that you activate features when
`you release the button, not when youfirst touchit.
`
`Also, touching harderwill not make it work better.
`
`You can touch buttons that have a solid border.
`You cannot use buttons that have a broken-line
`border. Buttons have a broken-line border when
`those features are not currently available.

`The following is a descriptive list of Simon’s
`features. To help you learn about the features,
`some of Simon's screens are shown after each
`major topic. They show what happens when you
`touch certain features.
`
`
`Phone
`
`Simon's cellular phone, as all cellular phones, uses
`two-way radio communications controlled by a
`cellular system. The current conditions (both
`atmospheric and geographical) can affect the quality
`of your connection.
`Note: When you place or receive a call, you must
`extend the antenna straight out as far asit
`will go.
`
`Cellular phonesare different from the standard
`"corded" phones with which you are familiar. Note
`that you don't hear a “dial tone” when you turn on
`your phone. Also, there might be times when you
`or the party to whom youare talking experience
`static, noise or occasionally a “dropped" or
`disconnectedcall.
`
`When you experience these problems, your Simon
`might or might not be working correctly. The
`cellular system that you are using could be the
`cause for problems in operation.
`If you experience
`problems frequently, contact the dealer where you
`purchased your Simon or yourcellular carrier.
`The phone SF feature lets you use Simonlike a
`standard cellular phone. When you are at the
`Phone screen, you can use your cellular phone to
`send and receive phone calls. When you are in
`another application, simply touch the ey at the
`bottom of the screen to return to the Phone screen
`for placing a telephonecall.
