1Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing a WA 3050device, the
complete Microsoft® Windows®-powered organiser and
communications solution for the mobile professional. The
WA 3050 device helps you stay in touch, keeping vital
business and personal information current and close at hand.
Integrated into your device is a next-generation GSM phone
with a full range of voice and data capabilities, including the
ability to send and receive SMS and fax, and a WAP browser
for access to the mobile Internet. Microsoft Pocket Outlook
lets you read and write e-mail and manage your appointments
and contacts. Microsoft ActiveSyncallows you to
synchronize information on your device with a PC or
notebook computer.
Picture yourself in the following situations:
§Your cell phone rings, and the boss asks if you are free
this afternoon for a meeting. You scramble through your
briefcase, looking for your digital organiser.
§You are meeting friends for dinner and a movie. You
download movie listings from the Internet to your PC,
then synchronize it with your organiser. By the time you
arrive for dinner, your friends have already ordered
dessert.
§You grab your digital organiser to catch the bus. On the
way home, you review your task list, make notes about
new CDs you want to buy, and read and write responses
to e-mail. Then you remember an important fax you
forgot to send before you left the office.
Now imagine how much easier it might be in each of these
situations if you had a single device that:
§Is both a cell phone and digital organiser
§Provides fast access to the “wireless web”

14
§Enables you to respond immediately to e-mail
§Lets you send SMS messages or faxes on the spot
Your WA 3050device can do all of this and more.
1.1 How to use the information in this
manual
Use as little or as much of the information in this manual as
you think you need. If you are familiar with the way GSM
phones work, you may be able to scan the calling
procedures to quickly grasp how to complete a familiar task
using theWA 3050device.
You may not need to consult some of the appendices at all,
which contain reference information useful in some
situations. For example, the procedure for transferring
Palm-size PC data may be of interest if you previously
owned a Palm-size PC.
This owner’s guide has been written to meet the broadest
set of needs of users who will have different reasons for
purchasing and using the WA 3050device. You are
probably interested in using some of its capabilities right
away more than others.
Recognizing this, chapters have been grouped into several
major divisions or topic clusters.
“Getting started” reviewsWA 3050setup information,
provides an overview of product features, and explains the
basics of the Pocket PC and dialing screen features.
“Voice communication” covers what you need to know to
use WA 3050 phone features.

“Data communication” explains how to configure, access,
and use applications on your WA 3050 device that transmit

to get started using ActiveSync, Pocket Outlook,
companion programs such as Word, Microsoft Money,
Excel, Windows Media Player, and Microsoft Reader. The

“Customizing your device” covers procedures for
customizing Pocket PC and phone programsettings,
installing additional software, and configuring your WA
3050device to use as a modem for your PC or notebook
computer.

phone costs.
The appendices present reference information on various
topics.

1.6 Setting up the WA 3050
Complete the procedures for setting up your WA 3050 as
described in the WA 3050 Wireless Assistant Installation
Guide.
Caution Following are some important points to
consider during the setup process and whenever you
repeat any of the setup procedures:
§Your WA 3050device cannot be used if the main
battery has not been installed. Verify that the battery is
present before connecting your unit to external power
or before placing it in the cradle.
§It is imperative that the main battery isfully charged
(no blinking LEDs) before using your device for the
first time, or before turning it on after an extended
period of disuse (longer than one month) without
having recharged the battery. Make sure that the
device is charging when it is connected to external
power or inserted in the cradle. You may need to
remove and reinsert the adapter plug several times
before the charging LED indicates that the device is
charging (GSM LED blinking amber).
§Above all, the main battery must be charged and
installed before the installation or replacement of the
backup battery.
§On the back of your WA 3050 device is a small door
that provides access to the connector for CompactFlash
support. This door must be kept shut at all times
except during the use of the CompactFlash support
feature.
