battery door sensor could be damaged.
STEP 2: Charge the Device

Connect the AC adapter to the DC-in connector on the left side of the
device. Lift the rubber flap to access the connector. Alternatively, you
can use the cradle, if included with your version of the SoMo 650.
2.
Plug the AC adapter into a suitable wall socket. The SoMo 650 should

device will not work!

Turn on the device by pressing the power button above the screen.
3.
Follow the onscreen instructions to set up your SoMo 650.
STEP 4: Install Synchronization Software
IMPORTANT! If your host PC runs Windows 7 or Vista, do not
install ActiveSync from the CD, as described below. Install
the Windows Mobile Device Center, available free online:

If you already have ActiveSync on your host PC, you may need to
upgrade to the latest version.

ROM drive. The welcome page will appear. Click Next.

lower right corner of your PC.
STEP 5: Connect the SoMo 650 to the Host PC
Connecting with the Sync Cable
Plug the USB sync cable into the connector on the bottom of your
SoMo 650. Plug the other end of the USB sync cable into a suitable
USB port on your computer. It is recommended that you also
connect the AC adapter.
For SP7 or later, USB charging is disabled by default. See User’s
Guide for instructions on how to enable via Power Plus utility.
Connecting with the Cradle
Use the USB sync cable to connect the cradle to a host PC. It is
recommended that you also connect the AC adapter into the cradle.
