Your T-Mobile Account
Before you can use your device, your T-Mobile account must be completely set up. Account setup involves the
following steps:
1 Obtain a telephone number.
When you purchased your device, a T-Mobile representative assigned you a telephone number, which is
stored on your device’s Subscriber Identification Module, or “SIM” for short. (Read more in
About Your Smart
Card
on page 22.) This step you’ve already completed.
2 Wait for account activation.
T-Mobile must activate your device on the network. This can take up to 48 hours after you purchase your
device. You will know your T-Mobile account is activated when you see a “Welcome to Registration” screen on
your device display.
3 Register a username and password.
After you see the “Welcome to Registration” screen on your device, follow the prompts to select a username
and password. You will use your phone number and this password to sign in and out of the Web version of
the applications, and you may occasionally be prompted to enter this information on the device as well.
When selecting a username and password, note the following:
-Usernames - Must start with an alphabetic character (A-Z), can include numbers, can include
underscores but no other punctuation, and must be two or more characters in length. If your preferred
username is already taken, the T-Mobile service will provide you with alternate suggestions. You can
either pick one of these or try another one of your choice. Note that usernames are not case-sensitive.
-Passwords - Must contain at least six characters and include both letters and numbers. You will be
asked to type your password twice for confirmation. Note that your password appears on the screen as
asterisks (*) to ensure privacy. Select a password that is not a word, is difficult to guess, but one that
you can remember. Passwords
are case-sensitive. If you forget your password at some time in the
future, contact T-Mobile Customer Care at 1-800-937-8997.
Secret Question - You will also be asked to select a “secret question” and type the answer. Questions are
similar to these:
- What is your mother's maiden name?
- What is your favorite pet's name?
- What is the last name of your favorite teacher?
- What is your favorite movie?
If you ever forget your password, you will be asked to answer this question your password is “reset” by
Customer Care.

Charging Your Device’s Battery
To charge the battery, do the following:
1 Attach the power adapter to your device.
Locate the power adapter that came with your device. Insert the charger lead (the small round end of the
adapter) into your device’s charging outlet (the small round hold located at the top of your device) and plug
the adapter cord into a standard 120V AC electrical wall outlet.
2 Let the device charge for at least four (4) hours.
Rest the device in a safe place and let the batteries charge for at least four hours, or overnight. As the device
is charging, you will see a charge indicator ( ) blinking over the battery icon the upper-right corner of
the device display. When fully charged, the charge indicator will stop blinking. You’re ready to go!
Battery Charging Time
Initial charging time for your device’s lithium ion battery is approximately four hours. Recharging time is the
same, depending on how discharged the battery has become.
UseandStandbyTimes
With a fully-charged battery, you can use your device for one day. In power-saving (or sleep) mode, the battery
should last seven days. These times are approximate however; battery operation times vary according to how
you use your device, signal conditions, and other network settings made by T-Mobile.
Conserving Power
Your device has a power-saving feature that automatically reduces power to the device after 10 minutes of
inactivity. This is also referred to as “sleep mode”. In sleep mode your device will still receive messages and calls.
To wake the device, simply press any two control keys simultaneously or open the display lid.
If you have set a device security code, as described in
Turn On/Off Privacy Lock on page 31, you will be
prompted to enter your three-digit security code before the device will “wake up”. This power-saving feature
conserves battery power, as well as provides security when used in conjunction with the device security feature.

Keyboard
Your device keyboard contains five rows of keys, including a key for the “at” symbol (@) and a Directional pad
(“D-pad”) that “rocks” into eight different directions or positions.
The topics below describe the keyboard in more detail.
Directional Pad (D-pad)
The D-pad is the round navigational device in the lower-right corner of the keypad that you can “rock” in eight
directions: up, down, left, right, plus the 4 corners (northwest, northeast, southwest, and southeast), which you
use by pressing two adjacent keys at the same time. You use the D-pad to navigate while playing games and to
navigate within
text boxes . A text box is an area on the screen in which you can type characters. Here’s a few
examples of text boxes:
• To, From, Subject fields in an email, IM, or Text Messages message
• Go To pane in the Web Browser
• Luggage Tag in Control Panels > Security screen

Press the up/down and left/right arrows to move in those directions among characters in a text box. Press the
corners of the D-pad (two adjacent arrows at the same time) to jump up/down one line and forward/backward
a character. Read more in
Typing Text on page 21.
ALT Key
You type special characters (shown in red on some of the keys) by first pressing the ALT key, then the key
showing the special character. For example, if you need to type a semicolon (;), you would first press the ALT
key, then the J key. (This action is also represented in the user documentation as ALT+J.)
•Lock the ALT key to type a series of special characters by pressing the key twice.
•Unlock the ALT key by pressing it once again.
Note! You can also lock the Shift key by pressing it twice. Unlock by pressing once again.
@Key
When you type an email address, you use the “at” symbol (@) to separate the username from the domain; for
example, [email protected]. Use the @ key (located in the bottom row of keys) to insert the @ symbol in
an email address easily.
On/Off Button
Power off the device to conserve the maximum amount of power. While the power is off, your device will not
receive messages or phone calls. Incoming calls are forwarded to voice mail.
To power your device on and off, use the On/Off button. It is located just to the left of the “Z” key on the
keyboard.
Control Buttons
A T-Mobile Device comes with four main control buttons, which you can still use when the display lid is in the

Menu Button
The Menu button is located in the upper-left corner of the device and is marked by a diamond. When you see the
diamond on the device screen or in the documentation, this refers to the Menu button. Use the Menu button
to do the following:
• Press once to open a drop-down menu listing actions you can take from the current screen.
• Press again to close the drop-down menu.
• Press in combination with a shortcut key to perform an action. There are two types of shortcut keys:
-User-definable-Readmorein
Jump Shortcuts on page 28.
- System-defined - You’ll find the system-defined shortcuts listed in the menus to the right of a given
option. For example, in the Email application, the shortcut for composing a new message is +N.
About Context Menus - The options that appear in any given menu are dependent on what screen you are
viewing. These types of menus are often referred to as “context menus”. For example, if you are viewing the
main screen of the Email application, the menu will list options such as “New Message” and “Check for New
Email”. However, if you are viewing the main screen in the Address Book, the menu will list options such as “New
Contact”, “Sort...”, and “My Info”. So the items that appear depend on the “context” (or screen) you are in when
you open the menu.
Jump Button
The Jump button is located in the lower-left corner of the device and is marked by a circle. When you see the
circle on the device screen or in the documentation, this refers to the Jump button. Use the Jump button to
open the Jump screen. No matter where you are in the applications--what screen you are viewing--if you press
the Jump button, you’ll return to the Jump screen. In the example below, the Jump screen shows the Telephone
application highlighted:
To open the application you have highlighted from the Jump screen, click the wheel.

the following:
• Press once to go back to the screen you were previously viewing; press twice to go back two screens,
and so on.
• In a dialog box or on a screen, press once to save any changes you’ve made to the information. If
you’ve made changes within a dialog box, the dialog box closes as well.
