1. Getting Started
1.1 Welcome
Congratulations on purchasing a Siemens SX56 Wireless PDA Phone. The integrated wireless voice and data capabilities mean
that as well as keeping your important PIM information up-to-date and close at hand, you can make calls, send and receive email,
and look up valuable information from the Internet or your company’s network anytime, anywhere. Also, with Microsoft“
ActiveSync“, the power of your device is increased by allowing you to synchronize the information on your PC with your device.
Picture yourself in the following situations:
x While walking with a colleague, your SX56 rings. You look at the caller ID and see it’s your manager who is calling. She
asks if you two are free this afternoon for an emergency meeting. While your colleague fumbles through his paper organizer,
you press a button on your device and instantly see a list of today’s appointments and meetings. You are quickly able to tell
your manager your available times, and make a note of the new meeting while on the call. You hang up; send e-mail with a
schedule request for the three of you at the desired location.
x You are meeting your friends tonight for dinner and a movie. You download the latest movie information from the Internet to
your PC and then synchronize it with your device. At dinner, you pull out your SX56 and review your movie options with
your friends.
x A Calendar reminder alerts you that it is time to catch the bus. You grab your Siemens SX56 Wireless PDA Phone and catch
the bus just in time. Because ActiveSync keeps the information on your device up-to-date, you leisurely review your task list,
make notes about the new books and CDs you want to buy, and read and respond to e-mail messages. When you get back to
the office, ActiveSync transfers any task changes you made, your notes, and your e-mail message responses to your PC.
