The device comes with Windows Mobile 6 pre-installed therefore all you need to do is to insert a Vodafone SIM card and the battery. Put device on charger to get it fully charged when meeting the customer. Note that you can use the charger supplied with Palm TX, too. 3.2 SIM SETUP Find out whether the user wants to use the new SIM provided in the pack or transfer an existing one to the new device. Make a note of the phone number as this will be required as part of the setup later. With a new SIM it is the user‟s responsibility to ensure that a voice tariff is also in place at the time of ordering if they require the phone services. 3.3 RECORD SERIAL NUMBER Go to Start > Settings > System > About > Phone. Send the IMEI and serial number to [email protected]. The OS will be Windows Mobile 6, make a note of that. Check if the date and time is set right by going to Start > Settings > System > Clock & Alarms > Time. Set visiting time if required by the user, e.g. US time. 3.4 DATA TARIFF Check if it is enabled for the SIM.
