Getting Started
You can use some features of your Zipit Wireless Messenger
2 without being connected to the Internet. To get started,
though, or to use instant messaging, you must have
wireless Internet (Wi-Fi® network) access
an existing instant messaging (IM) account
Wi-Fi Access
If you are using your Zipit device at home, you will need a
wireless access point or router that is connected to a
broadband Internet service (like a cable or DSL connection).
If you are in a public area or business, you will need wireless
access through a public Wi-Fi “hotspot.” A public Wi-Fi
hotspot is an open hotspot that does not require a browser or
a fee for access.
Check this out! Lots of businesses, hotels, and restaurants
have public hotspots that are free to their
customers.
The Zipit Wireless Messenger 2 contains an 802.11g radio
and will work with both 802.11b and 802.11g networks.
IM Account
If you don’t have an IM account, you can set one up for free
on any Internet-connected PC. Go to Zipitwireless.com for
more information. When you set up a new account, you will
choose or be provided with a screen name and a password.

Charging the Battery
Plug the AC adapter into the DC input jack on the back side
of your Zipit device and into an AC power outlet. You can
start using your device immediately. Charge the battery for
at least 3 hours before removing the power adapter.
An LED on your Zipit device shows the status of your battery.
If the battery is charging (on AC power), the battery LED will
be solid amber. The LED will turn solid green when the
battery is completely charged.
If the battery charge gets low, the LED will blink in amber,
the battery icon in the chat window header will flash.
Turning the Zipit Device On and Off
To turn your Zipit device On or Off, press and hold the Power
button for at least one second.
Caution: Your Zipit Wireless Messenger 2 automatically
checks for software updates when you go online. If
an update is available and ready to install, do not
power off until the installation is complete.
Page 5 Check It Out
Using Standby and Sleep Modes
Your Zipit device enters Sleep mode when you close the lid or
after 5 minutes with no activity. In Sleep mode, the device
turns off its display but remains connected to network
applications (IM) unless you move out of range of the
network. Your IM buddies will see your Away message, and
you can continue to play music. When you open the lid, your
device will wake up and return to your most recent
application. Because Sleep mode saves your battery power,
it is a good idea to close the lid if you are taking a long break
from using your Zipit device.
Your Zipit device enters Suspend mode after 4 hours in Sleep
mode. When it enters Suspend mode, your device closes all
applications but does not shut down all the way. Your Zipit
device will stay in Suspend mode for up to 4 days with a fully
charged battery. If the battery power gets too low, your
device will turn itself Off.
You can return to On mode from Sleep or Suspend very
quickly, by opening the lid, pressing any key, or pressing the
Power button. You can customize the time limits for entering
Sleep and Suspend modes through the global settings.

GET CONNECTED
The first time you turn on your Zipit Wireless Messenger 2,
the Setup Wizard will help you
Search for and connect to your wireless network
Enter the screen names and passwords for your IM
accounts (up to one each for AIM, MSN, and Yahoo)
You can update your setup information later if you need to.
Connecting to Your Wireless Network
Wireless networks can be set up in several ways, with
different types of security and connection requirements.
Networks can be encrypted or open. Encrypted networks
require you to provide a special access code called a “WEP
key” or “WPA key” to get connected. This means that only
authorized people who know the key can use them. Open
networks are available to any user within range.
Some networks are hidden, which means you have to know
their names to be able to find and use them.
Some networks use dynamic DHCP addressing, which means
that the network automatically tells a device how to get to
the Internet when it joins the network. Other networks use
static IP addressing and require you to know the address for
connecting to the Internet.
For more information about network connections, see the
Support page at Zipitwireless.com.
Page 7 Get Connected
Your Zipit device is designed to make the wireless
connection process as automated and simple as
possible.
Whether your network is open or encrypted, hidden, or uses
dynamic DHCP or static IP addressing, the Zipit Setup Wizard
will guide you through the connection process.
When you turn on your Zipit device, it will search for all
available wireless networks and try to connect to the
strongest open network first, then other open networks;
followed by the strongest encrypted network and then other
encrypted networks. If your network is open (most home
and public hotspot networks are), you probably will not need
to provide any information. If it is hidden or encrypted, or
uses static IP addressing, the Setup Wizard will prompt you
to enter the information it needs.
If you know that your network is hidden and know how to set
up networks, you can interrupt the automatic connection and
configure the network yourself.
When you connect to a network, the Setup Wizard will show
a Connected screen and the network status LED will turn
solid green.
Page 8 Get Connected
Connecting Automatically
Follow these steps to get up and running:
1. Turn on your Zipit device. The Welcome screen appears.
2. Press NEXT. The Zipit logo spins, showing you that your
device is searching for a network. This can take several
seconds.
3. The Scanning for Wireless Networks screen displays the
number of networks found.
4. The next screens that you see depend upon what type and
number of networks your Zipit device found.
–If one open network was found, the Automatically
Connecting screen will appear, your device will connect
automatically, and the message “Connected to (your
network’s name)” will appear.
–If one encrypted network was found, your device will
ask you to enter a special access code called a WEP
key or WPA key. Type in the code and press NEXT. If
you make a mistake while typing, use the backspace
key or the ←cursor key to back up and correct it. Your
device will use the information to connect, or will
prompt you to confirm the information.
–Your Zipit device will not find a hidden network until
you tell it where to look; then it can connect. If no
networks were found, your device will assume that a
hidden network is available and will prompt you to
enter the network’s name (SSID). Enter your
network’s name in the SSID field and press NEXT. (If
you don’t know your SSID, your access point or
router’s documentation or a label on your access
point/router can tell you how to find it. If you still need
help, check out the Support area at Zipitwireless.com.)
Page 9 Get Connected
If you entered the name incorrectly or if the network is
encrypted, the Setup Wizard will show an “Unable to
Connect” screen. Double-check the way you entered
the SSID and change it if you need to. (Use the
backspace or ←cursor key to back up and correct it.)
If you typed it correctly, your network is both hidden
and encrypted. Enter your network key code at the
prompt and press NEXT.
–If your Zipit device found several networks, which is
common in public areas, the Setup Wizard will
automatically try to connect to the open network with
the strongest network signal, then weaker open
networks, and then encrypted networks.
If you want to choose which network to use, or want to
specify a hidden network, you’ll need to interrupt the
Setup Wizard by pressing NEXT. The Setup Wizard
shows the networks it found. Use the ↑and ↓cursor
keys to select a network and then press NEXT to
connect to the network. If you choose to add a
network, the Setup Wizard will ask you to enter its
SSID (network name).
Where to next?
If you’re connected to a network, see “Defining Your
Messaging Accounts” on page 11.
If you got an error message, skip to “Understanding Setup
Error Messages” on page 31.

Page 10 Get Connected
Connecting Manually
If you do not want to let the Setup Wizard set up your
network connection automatically, you can interrupt the
connection process and set up the connection manually. You
should know how to set up networks before trying this
process.
To set up your network connection manually, follow these
steps:
1. When the Setup Wizard tells how many networks it found,
press NEXT to interrupt it.
2. The Setup Wizard displays a manual configuration screen
and prompts you to enter the configuration information.
Type in the requested information and press NEXT.
3. The Setup Wizard connects using the information you
provided.
Where to next?
If you’re connected to a network, see “Defining Your
Messaging Accounts” below.
If you got an error message, skip to “Understanding Setup
Error Messages” on page 31.
Page 11 Get Connected
Defining Your Messaging Accounts
Once your Zipit device has connected to the Internet, you’ll
enter your instant messaging account information. You can
save a username and password for three different accounts
—one on AOL, one on MSN, and one on Yahoo. With the
Zipit Wireless Messenger 2, you can log into all of your
accounts at once, seeing buddies from all three services.
1. When the Setup Wizard prompts you to define your IM
accounts, press NEXT.
2. Your Zipit device will ask if you have an AOL account.
Choose “Yes” or “No” and press NEXT. (Change answers
by pressing the “Y” or “N” button, the space bar, or the
→or ←cursor button.)
3. If you selected “Yes,” enter your account information
when prompted. If you make a mistake while typing, use
the backspace key to delete characters. Press NEXT.
4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to define your MSN and Yahoo
accounts.
Note: If you have an MSN account, you must enter your
complete email address, not simply your screen name.

Playing MyMusic from a Mini-SD Card
If you have a library of tunez on your computer, you can play
them from your Zipit device as easily as from an MP3 player.
And with the Zipit Wireless Messenger 2, you can listen to
your tunez while you chat, view pictures, or use online tools.
First, copy your MP3 and WMA tunez from your computer to a
directory called Music on a Mini-SD memory card. Then
follow these steps:
1. Slide the Mini-SD card into
the bottom of your Zipit
device.
2. Your device builds its music
library and displays “SD
Card” as a choice in the
MyTunez Menu.
3. From the MyTunez Menu,
select SD Card. Use the
↑and ↓buttons to select the
way you want to view your
library, and the →button to
see sublists. Press ENTER
or the Select button to play
tunez.
Music plays from the point where you press ENTER. For
example, (except in Shuffle mode) if you are in the Artist
menu, your Zipit device plays all songs by all artists, in
order by artist and then album. If you are in an Album
menu, it plays all songs on that album, beginning with the
song number you selected.
Page 23 Listen Up
The Now Playing screen for MyMusic shows all of the info that
was found about the current song:
Beside cover art (if any)
–Song title (in bold)
–Artist
–Album
–File type
–Track number
–Song length
Bottom of screen
–Elapsed song time
–Song number of total
on album
–Remaining song time
Create a dynamic playlist – a Zipit
exclusive! Queue up the songs you
want to listen to; then save them as a
playlist. While in the audio player,
navigate to another album, artist, or
playlist. Press OPTIONS and select
Add to Playlist. Save your special mix
as a custom playlist ⎯it will be
available until the next time you rebuild
the music database by changing the
contents of the Mini-SD card.

Using MyStationz Internet Radio
If you don’t have a Mini-SD memory card, or just want
access to a wider range of tunez, use MyStationz to listen to
radio stations that stream over the Internet.
First, go to Zipitwireless.com, select Customization Options,
and enter your serial number when prompted. Next, check
the list of available MyStationz and select up to eight for your
own presets.
Now, from the Zipit device Home Menu, select MyTunez and
then MyStationz. Scroll through the menu and select the
station to listen to now.
The MyStationz audio player screen looks similar to the
MyMusic player, with the functions limited to Play and Stop.

buddies you know. You can enhance this
security through the Tools menu:
Enable / Disable Password: Set a

accounts. From the Home Menu, select Tools, then Enable
Password. Enter 4-6 characters (any mix of uppercase,
lowercase, and digits).
You must enter the password before changing account

TROUBLESHOOTING
Understanding Setup Error Messages
There are 4 types of network error messages you might see
while trying to connect to a network:
Automatic connection failed: The Setup Wizard found at
least one network but could not connect to it.
DHCP error: There was a problem with your router’s IP
address.
DNS error: Your Internet connection is down or there was
a problem with the DNS server.
Proprietary network: You are trying to connect to a
private network that requires a password and/or
subscription.
Page 32
If you see any of these error messages, you can press PREV
to retry the connection. You can also press NEXT to
configure the network yourself. Follow these steps:
1. The Setup Wizard
displays an error
message.
2. Press NEXT to enter
the configuration
information yourself
and connect to the
network manually.
3. The Setup Wizard asks you to enter manual settings. (If
you do not know it, you can get this information from your
network service provider.) Enter the requested
information and press NEXT.
4. The Setup Wizard retries the connection process. When
you see the Connected screen, continue to the section
“Defining Your Messaging Accounts” on page 11. If you
still cannot connect, see below for additional options.
Possible Error Message Causes and Solutions
Automatic connection failed
Your device is not in range of any wireless access points.
–Make sure that your access point is turned on and is functional.
–Move closer to known wireless access points.
Available access points are not broadcasting their SSID.
–Manually enter the SSID of the network (refer to the
setup/configuration page of the access point) in the space
provided.
Page 33
DHCP error
You entered an invalid SSID or an invalid WEP key.
The access point has been configured to disable DHCP.
The Internet connection is down.
The access point configuration is set incorrectly.
The DHCP server is providing incorrect network information.
The only networks available are “for fee” Hotspots.
–From the “Uh Oh” screen, select the network that you want to
access. You will be given a brief list of the possible reasons for
the failure and a method to correct the failure condition.
–Check your access point/router’s configuration screen to make
sure that the Authentication type is set to Open and that the
Preamble is set to Long.
DNS error
You entered an invalid SSID or invalid WEP key.
The access point has been configured to disable DHCP.
The DHCP server on your access point is providing incorrect
network information (this is very uncommon).
–From the DHCP error screen, press NEXT to verify the SSID
and WEP information.
–Verify that your access point/router has DHCP enabled. If not,
enable it and re-scan; or press NEXT after verifying the SSID
and WEP to enter the Static IP configuration screen. Confirm
the required information from your access point/router.
Proprietary network
The Internet connection is down.
–Verify that you can access the Internet from a PC. If not, check
the status of your cable or DSL modem to see if it is receiving
data from the Internet.
The DHCP server on your access point is providing incorrect
network information.
–See “DNS Error” above.

Handling Network Setup Errors
During setup, your Zipit device might connect to a network
but be unable to connect to an instant messaging account. If
this happens, check the following:
Do you have an existing IM account with AIM, MSN, or Yahoo?
You cannot create an account through your Zipit device.
–Go to http://www.aim.com, http://messenger.yahoo.com, or
http://messenger.msn.com to setup one or more accounts.
–Restricted AOL accounts (such as KAOL) are not supported.
Did you enter your username and password correctly?
–MSN accounts require the full account name, not just the
screen name. For example, if you have a Hotmail account, you
must add “@hotmail.com”to the login.
Are your router’s firewall settings preventing access to IM
accounts?
–Open the following ports to allow the IM traffic to pass through
the firewall: 1863, 5190, 6891, 6901.
Recovering from Lost Connections and Chats
If you are logged into an IM service on your Zipit device and
log in again from another Zipit device, a phone, or a PC, your
connection on the first device will be “bumped” (logged off).
You will have the option to change IM accounts, reconnect, or
stop chatting but continue with other services.
If you are chatting and lose your network connection, the
message “Network Lost” will flash in the header bar of the
chat window. Your chats will still be displayed, but you will
not be able to enter any new text. Once you have finished
reading the open chats, press the MyFriendz key. Your Zipit
device will scan for available networks and reconnect if
possible.
