`This section shows you howto install and charge
`the battery to turn on Simon, then directs you to
`more information, depending on how you are using
`Simon. You mayfind it especially valuable to go
`through the tutorial, “Practicing with Simon” on
`page 13.
`
`Charging the Battery
`To charge the battery for the first time:
`1. Place Simon, with the battery attached, in the
`
`mustfully charge the battery for 14—16 hours.
`This conditions the main battery soit will work
`correctly and also charges the backup battery to
`prevent data loss.
`
`Important! Before you use Simonforthefirst 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

`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 Simonbattery chargers to
`charge Simon's batteries. Other chargers might
`damage your battery.
`If the battery does not charge properly, check
`the contacts. Dirt on the chargeror battery
`contacts can prevent propercharging.
`Using Simon within 10 to 40° C (50 to 104° F).
`will prolong your battery'slife.
`Do not recharge fully charged batteries to "top
`off" the battery.
`It can shorten battery life.
`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
`usingit. 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, orif
`the battery terminals are accidentally shorted.
`If the battery does not work,allow it to cool
`down and thentry again.
`Store batteries in a cool and dry place,
`wheneverpossible, 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 upto four complete
`charge/discharge cyclesfor 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.
`

`
`2. When the amberlight changes to green, the
`battery is ready to use.
`3. Remove Simonfrom the charger.
`
`To charge the battery after thefirst time, place
`Simonwith the battery attached, or place only the
`battery, into the charger. After about an hour and a
`half, the amberlight (number 2) will change to
`green. Remove Simonorthe battery from the
`charger.
`
`You can use Simonwhile it charges. However,if
`you useit continuously 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 Simonbefore you
`remove the battery. Otherwise, there is a good
`chancethat you will need to reset your Simon,
`and a slight chance that you could damage your
`|
`
`
`| phone. | (See “Solving Problems” on page 73)
`
`| |
`
`1. Check the phone power (amber) LED. Ifit's on,
`go to the phone screen and touch the Phone
`Power button.
`
`2. Slide the On/Off (Resume/Suspend) switch to
`turn Simonoff. The green LED is off.
`3. Push down onthebattery release latch and
`slide the battery off.
`
`Caution!
`
`Always leave your main battery installed in
`Or
`Simon.
`If you leave Simon for too long without
`main battery power, you will
`lose the data you
`have in Semon. Simon's iméemal
`non-repieceabie Saciup baiiery will preserve

`‘d
`“up Samery. Even a low main battery may
`“ave enough charge to save Simon's data for
`awmlc.
`ff you follow the recommended battery
`charging practices, losing data should not be a
`problem. Forfurther protection against data
`loss, see “Filer” on page 48.

`

`

`
`
`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
`shouldlie flat on Simon.
`
`3. Slide the battery forward until 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 timeto 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 oroff, 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 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 Simonforfive 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.)
`
`Whenyou are 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
`goes off after one minute if you don't touch the
`
`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 before it turnsoff.
`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 whenit
`gets hot or cold.
`If this happens, you can adjust
`your LCD contrast. There are two methodsfor
`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 volumebuttons 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
`numbersandletters, 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 sty/us, can also
`mean your finger.) 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 touch it.
`
`Also, touching harder will not make it work better.
`
`You c@n 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.
`
`On some screens, when you touch a feature's box,
`a Vvappears in the box. While thev 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 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 &
`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 phonefunctions by
`touching the button for the desired feature on the
`Phone screen. You can usethe personal
`organization and communication functions by
`touching the appropriate icon on the Mobile Office
`screen.

`
`Note: You contro! Simon’s main power and phone
`powerseparately. 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
`Powerbutton. To save battery power, you
`can keep your phoneoff while you work with
`the Mobile Office. You can also leave the
`phone on when you turn the main poweroff,
`if you want to be able to receive calls.

`static, noise or occasionally a "dropped" or
`disconnected call.

`might or might not be working correctly. The
