FCC Information To The User
Radio And Television Interference
This equipment radiates radio frequency energy and if not used
properly—that is, in strict accordance with the instructions in this
manual—may cause interference to radio communications and tele-
vision reception. It has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a Class B digital device pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions:
1. This device may not cause harmful interference, and
2. This device must accept any interference received, includ-
ing interference that may cause undesired operation.
These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against
harmful interference in a residential installation. However, there is
no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installa-
tion. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio
or television reception, which can be determined by turning the
equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the
interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation distance between the equipment and
the receiver.
• If you are using the equipment with a mains adaptor, plug it
into an outlet which is on a different circuit from that to
which the receiver is connected.
• Consult an experienced radio/TV technician for help.
For customers in the USA, the following booklet prepared by the
Federal Communications Commission may be of help: “How to

Psion Teklogix netpad Win CE 4.0 Quick Start Guide 9
Identify and Resolve Radio-TV Interference Problems”. This
booklet is available from the US Government Printing Office,
Washington, DC 20402 - Stock No 004-000-00345-4.
Radio Frequency Emissions
Do not use in aircraft or hospitals. Some equipment in hospitals and
aircraft are not shielded from radio frequency energy. Do not use the
netpad onboard aircraft, or in hospitals, without first obtaining per-
mission.
Do not use near pacemakers. The product may affect the operation
of some medically implanted devices such as pacemakers, causing
them to malfunction. Avoid placing your product next to such
devices. Keep a minimum distance of 15 cm between the device and
the product to reduce the risk of interference. If you have any reason
to suspect that interference is taking place, turn off the netpad and
contact your cardiologist for assistance.
Note: In August 1996 the Federal Communications Commission
(FCC) of the US adopted an updated safety standard for
human exposure to radio frequency energy emitted by FCC
regulated transmitters. The design of this product complies
with the FCC guidelines and those standards.
To maintain compliance with the FCC RF exposure guide-
lines, if you wear the netpad on your body, use the supplied
or approved carrying case, holster, or other body-worn
accessory (see page 22 for details). If you do not use a body-
worn accessory, ensure the antenna is at least 1.5 cm from
your body when transmitting. Use of non-approved accesso-
ries may violate FCC RF exposure guidelines.

10 Psion Teklogix netpad Win CE 4.0 Quick Start Guide
Important Safety Instructions
This equipment was tested for FCC compliance under conditions
that included the use of shielded cables and connectors between it
and the peripherals. It is important that you use shielded cable and
connectors to reduce the possibility of causing radio and television
interference. Shielded cables, suitable for the netpad, can be
obtained from an authorised Psion Teklogix dealer.
If the user modifies the equipment or its peripherals in any way, and
these modifications are not approved by Psion Teklogix, the FCC
may withdraw the user’s right to operate the equipment.
Emissions Information For Canada
This Class B digital apparatus meets all requirements of the Cana-
dian Interference-Causing Equipment Regulations.
Cet appareil numérique de la classe B respecte toutes les exigences
du Règlement sur le matériel brouilleur du Canada.
Infrared Device Safety
Class 1 LED Product
This product includes an Infrared device for transmitting and receiv-
ing files from devices supporting the IrDA format. Although this
invisible beam is not considered harmful, and complies with
EN60825-1 (IEC825-1), we recommend the following precautions
when the Infrared device is transmitting:
• Do not stare into the Infrared beam.
• Do not view directly with optical instruments.
No parts in the device may be serviced by the user.

ing heat or exploding, adhere to the precautions listed
below.
• Use only with the authorized Psion Teklogix power
adaptor.
• Do not dispose of in fire.
• Do not incinerate or subject battery cells to tempera-
tures in excess of 100°C (212°F). Such treatment
can vaporize the liquid electrolyte causing cell
rupture. Incineration may result in harmful emis-
sions or explosion.
• Do not charge, use or store batteries below -30º C
(-22° F). Batteries must be handled in accordance
with all applicable state and federal laws and
regulations.
• The battery incorporates built-in safety devices. To
ensure their proper function, do not disassemble or
alter any parts of the battery.

• Do not short-circuit the battery by directly connect-
ing any of the exposed terminals with metal objects
such as wire. Do not transport or store the battery
together with metal objects such as necklaces, hair
pins, etc.
• Do not use or leave the battery near a heat source
such as a fire or heater.
• Do not immerse the battery in water.
• When charging, use the battery charger specifically
designed for the battery.
• Do not crush, puncture, open, dismantle, or other-
wise mechanically interfere with batteries.
• Do not directly solder the battery.
• Do not connect the battery to an electrical outlet,
vehicle cigarette lighter, etc.
• Do not put battery into a microwave oven or pressu-
rized container.
• Do not use the battery in combination with primary
batteries (such as dry-cell batteries) or batteries of
different capacities or brands.
• Immediately remove the battery from the device or
battery charger and stop use if the battery gives off an
odour, generates heat, becomes discoloured or
deformed, or in any way appears abnormal during use.
• Do not continue charging the battery if it does not
recharge within the specified charge time.

come into contact with your skin or your eyes. If it
does, wash immediately with plenty of cold water
and seek medical advice.
• Do not store the battery in extremely high tempera-
tures (e.g., a vehicle, strong direct sunlight, etc.).
This may cause the battery to overheat or ignite, and
it may also reduce the performance and service life
of the battery.
• Do not use in areas where static electricity is greater
than what the manufacturer guarantees.
• Keep batteries out of reach of children.

1. Introduction
This guide provides information on the operation and features of the
Psion Teklogix netpad. For additional information, refer to the
netpad Win CE User Manual, the online help, or the documentation
supplied with the application you are using.
1.1 Applications Installed On The netpad
The netpad is capable of running a wide variety of applications but
the ones available on your particular netpad depend on the purpose
for which the netpad is provided. A number of standard applications
exist and custom programs can be installed easily.
The following standard programs are available:
•Wordpad, a word processor for writing letters and other
documents.
•Inbox, for sending and receiving e-mail.
•Internet Explorer, for browsing the World Wide Web.
•Calculator, a calculator with general features.
1.1.1 About ActiveSync
The Microsoft PC connectivity software, ActiveSync, can be used to
connect the netpad to PCs running Windows 95/98/2000/ME or NT
4.0. By connecting the netpad to a PC with a cable and running
ActiveSync on the PC, you can:
•View your netpad files from Windows Explorer by using the
Mobile Device icon in the PC’s My Computer window.
•Drag and drop files between the netpad and the PC in the
same way that you would between PC drives, and they will be

16 Psion Teklogix netpad Win CE 4.0 Quick Start Guide
automatically converted to the appropriate file format at the
same time.
•Synchronize e-mail and your address book on the netpad
with the PC to keep them in step with each other.
•Back up your netpad files to the PC, then restore them from
the PC to the netpad again, if needed.
For detailed information, please refer to the documentation supplied
with Microsoft Active Sync or the netpad Win CE User Manual.
1.2 Caring For The netpad
Screen
When used with the approved stylus, the netpad screen is very resist-
ant to wear and impact and should last for a considerable time. Use
of any object, other than the approved stylus, may result in damage
to the netpad screen.
To maintain the life of the netpad screen, keep the screen clean. To
clean the screen: switch off the netpad and use a soft, clean, dry cloth
to gently wipe the screen. (If the netpad is set to turn on automati-
cally when the screen is tapped, you should turn this preference off
before cleaning the screen.)
Warning: Under no circumstances use chemical solvents to clean
the screen.
Charging
To avoid damage to the netpad or the netpad battery packs, use only
Psion Teklogix approved chargers and docking stations.
