`
`
`Speaker
`“
`
`This section shows you how to install and charge
`the battery to turn on Simon, then directs you to
`more information, depending on how you are using
`Simon. You may find it especially valuable to go
`through the tutorial. “Practicing with Simon" on
`page 13.
`
`
`
`Important!
`
` Before you use Simon for the first time, you
`
`must fully charge the battery for 14—16 hours.
`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 the first time:
`
`1. Place Simon, with the battery attached, in the
`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
`recharge a battery.) You will see a flashing
`amber light for about two seconds and then a
`solid amber light (marked with the number 2)
`indicating the battery is charging.
`If the amber
`light keeps flashing and you know your battery
`is hot or cold. just wait. Othenlvise, try taking it
`out and putting it back in.
`If the light doesn't
`stop flashing, contact your service
`representative.

`Information About the Battery Pack
`. The new battery pack has no power. To
`charge the battery pack follow the instructions
`“Charging the Battery" on page 5.
`
`.
`
`The rechargeable battery contains nickel
`cadmium cells. Local laws or regulations may
`require special disposal or recycling. Please
`dispose of your batteries appropriately.
`
`. You should only use Simon battery chargers to
`charge Simon’s batteries. Other chargers might
`damage your battery.
`
`.
`
`It the battery does not charge properly, check
`the contacts. Dirt on the charger or battery
`contacts can prevent proper charging.
`- Using Simon within 10 to 40° C (so to 104° F).
`will prolong your battery‘s life.
`- Do not recharge fully charged batteries to "top
`off" the battery.
`It can shorten battery life.
`
`0
`
`-
`
`If you store the battery at high temperatures (for
`example, in the car on a hot day), allow a few
`minutes for the battery to cool down before
`using it. Similarly, if you store the battery in a
`very cold place, allow it to warm up for a few
`minutes before using it.
`
`The battery contains protection devices that
`might activate if the battery is overcharged, or if
`the battery terminals are accidentally shorted.
`If the battery does not work, allow it to cool
`down and then try again.
`
`- Store batteries in a cool and dry place,
`whenever possible, to maximize battery life. Do
`not use the battery if it gets wet.
`
`.
`
`Discharge batteries before storing them.
`
`. You must recharge the battery after long
`periods of storage. Depending on the time in
`storage, it may need up to four complete
`charge/discharge cycles for full capacity.
`
`Do not use the battery in explosive
`environments (mines, grain elevators, gas
`fields).
`
`Keep the battery away from loose metal (keys,
`coins) which can short the battery.
`
`Getting Started

`
`2. When the amber light changes to green, the
`battery is ready to use,
`
`3. Remove Simon from the charger.
`
`To charge the battery after the first time, place
`Simon with the battery attached, or place only the
`battery, into the charger. After about an hour and a
`half, the amber light (number 2) will change to
`green. Remove Simon or the battery from the
`charger.
`
`You can use Simon while it charges. However. if
`you use it continuous/y while it charges, the battery
`might not receive full charge before the charge
`time-out of 90 minutes occurs.
`
`Removing the Battery
`Important!
`
`Turn off the phone and Simon before you
`remove the battery. Otherwise, there is a good
`chance that you will need to reset your Simon,
`i and a slight chance that you could damage your
`
`i phone. (See “Solving Problems" on page 73)

`

`

`
`
`
`
`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.
`
`3. Slide the batteiy forward until you hear a slight
`click.
`
`
`
`Turning Simon On and Off
`
`Once youVe charged the battery, your Simon is
`ready to use. This would be a good time to put
`Simon in 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
`on or off, slide the On/Off (Resume/Suspend) switch
`up and then release it. When you turn Simon "off,"
`you are really suspending Simon. The screen goes
`blank and uses a 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 Simon for five minutes, it
`automatically suspends (turns off).
`(You may
`increase this time to 10 or 15 minutes using the
`System feature from the Mobile Office screen.)
`
`When you are ready to use Simon again, check the
`green On/Resume LED.
`if it's on, just touch the
`screen anywhere to continue. Othenivise, 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
`goes off after one minute if you don't touch the
`
`screen. Just touch the screen anywhere to 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 before it turns off.
`Keep in 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 move the slider. Or, you can
`press and hold both volume buttons on the side of
`Simon, then release and press one button at a 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.
`
`
`
`Using Your Touch Sensitive Screen
`Simon has a touch-sensitive screen. To enter
`
`numbers and 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.

`
`

`

`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 your finger.) You can slide the stylus across
`the screen until the button you want highlights.
`Then lift the stylus to select that feature.
`
`Tip: Keep in mind that you activate features when
`you release the button, not when you first touch it.
`Also, touching harder will not make it work better.

`
`On some screens. when you touch a feature's box.
`a v’ appears in the box. While the v is present. that
`feature is active. To remove the check. touch the
`box again.
`
`If the backlight turns off (saving battery power), just
`touch the screen to turn it back on.
`
`
`
`How Simon Works
`
`Your Simon is a cellular phone with personal
`organization and communication capabilities. The
`phone has a display that shows you the screens for
`the available features. The two main screens are
`the Phone
`screen and the Mobile Office %
`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 Phone screen
`
`The Mobile Office screen
`
`Note: You control Simon’s main power and phone
`power separately. You turn main power on
`and off using the Resume/Suspend button
`on the side of Simon. You turn the phone
`power on and off using the on screen Phone
`Power button. To save battery power, you
`can keep your phone off while you work with
`the Mobile Office. You can also leave the
`
`phone on when you turn the main power off,
`if you want to be able to receive calls.

`Simon Features
`
`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 as it
`will go.
`
`Cellular phones are 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 you are talking experience
`static, noise or occasionally a "dropped" or
`disconnected call.
`
`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 your cellular carrier.
`
`feature lets you use Simon like a
