Getting started
1. Install the memory
card and SIM card
Firstly, make sure your Xda Orbit
is turned off before you install any
cards. Then remove the battery
by sliding the battery cover latch.
You’ll find this at the bottom of
your Xda Orbit. If the battery is
inside, simply remove it with your
finger by lifting the upper right
side of the battery slot.
Slide the SIM card holder
downward to unlock it, then
lightly flip it open. Then open
the memory card holder.
2. Insert the memory*
and SIM cards
Now gently slide both the memory
SD card and the SIM card into
their holders, with their gold
contacts facing down.
(The cut-off corner of the SIM
card should mirror the corner
in the SIM card slot).
Press down the memory card
holder to close and lock it in
place. Then close the SIM card
holder and slide it upwards to
lock it in place.
Finally replace both the battery
(see instructions in the next
section) and the battery cover.
* There is no memory card contained in the standard box.

3. Install and charge
the battery
You will receive the new
batteries partially charged. But
before you start using your Xda
Orbit, you will need to install and
fully charge the battery.
To install the battery, remove the
battery cover first and insert the
battery. The gold connectors on
the battery should meet with the
row of connectors on the left
side of the battery slot. Insert the
left side of the battery first, then
gently push it down into place
(there will be a small click as it is
locked into position) and replace
the battery cover.
Lights on the LED indicator on
your Xda Orbit will show the
battery status:

solid amber light shows when
it is charging
When your Xda Orbit is on, a

Top Tip: Some batteries
perform best after several
full charge and discharge
cycles. There’s two ways to
charge the battery:
– you can connect your
Xda Orbit directly to an
electrical outlet using
the AC adapter
– you can plug the sync
cable to the USB port
on your PC and to the
sync connector on your
Xda Orbit.

4. Turn on and set up
for the first time
Turn on your Xda Orbit by
pressing the power button on
the right-hand edge.
A welcome screen will appear.
It will prompt you to Tap
the screen to set up your
Xda Orbit. You can do this
by following the on-screen
instructions.
Your Xda Orbit will start to set
itself up and add applications
supplied by O2. After about
two minutes, you’ll see a
customisation screen which lets
you tailor some options on your
Xda Orbit. These are:
Basic: configures your
connection settings and adds extra
touches so that your Xda is even
easier to use. We recommend you
to use this setting as standard.
Corporate: a tailored solution
from O2. No settings or O2
enhancements are installed –
this option is only available if
your Xda Orbit is supplied by
your IT manager.
Now choose your country and
connection settings.
Tap OK to complete your set
up. Your Xda Orbit will then
restart itself.
5. Check the battery power
Tap the battery level icon
on the Today screen. The power
settings screen will open and
display the current battery
power level.
A warning message will show
if the battery power is very
low. If you see this, you should
immediately save your data by
synchronising with your PC, or
back-up data on a secondary
storage card, and then turn off
your Xda Orbit. Do not restart
it until you have connected it
to the power adapter.
Press power again to turn off
your Xda Orbit.
6. Enter your PIN
When your Xda Orbit restarts,
it may ask you to enter the PIN
for your SIM.
Tap in your PIN and select Enter.

When it’s installed just connect
the USB cable to your PC and
start synchronising.
Now that you’re set up,
let’s get going!
Top tip: you’ll block your SIM
card if you enter the wrong
PIN three times. This means
you won’t be able to make
or receive any calls, texts or
picture messages.
Don’t worry – you can easily
sort this out by contacting
your service provider. They’ll
unblock it for you right away.
7. Synchronise with your
PC or laptop
Microsoft® ActiveSync® lets you
synchronise information on your
Xda Orbit with your PC such as
Inbox, Calendar, contacts and
tasks within Microsoft Outlook®.
The software is already installed
on your Xda Orbit but you will
need to install it on your PC if
you haven’t already.
To do this, insert the Getting
Started CD included in your
Xda Orbit box into the CD drive
of your PC and follow the simple
on-screen wizard.
