1. Install the SIM card
Turn off your Xda Argon before
you insert the SIM card. Then
remove the battery by pressing
the battery release button and
sliding the battery cover down.
If the battery is inside, you can
remove it with your finger by
lifting the bottom right side of
the battery.
Place the SIM with the metal
contacts faced down as
indicated and slide the SIM
card into the slot.
2. Install and charge
the battery
You new battery will be partially
charged. You will need to install
and fully charge it before you
start using your Xda Argon.
To install the battery, first
remove the battery cover and
insert the battery. Make sure
that the gold connectors on the
battery meet with the row of
connectors on the top right
side of the battery slot.
Insert the top side of the battery
first, then gently push it down
into place. Replace the battery
cover by sliding it back until it
clicks into place.

Light on the right LED indicator
on your Xda Argon will show the
battery status:
• a solid amber light shows
when your Argon Xda is off
but charging
• a solid amber light and a
charging icon on the Today
screen will show when your
Xda Argon is on and charging.
• a green light and full battery
icon appears on the Today
screen when the battery is
fully charged.
Xda Argon top tip:
Some batteries perform
better after several full
charge and discharge cycles.
There are two ways to
charge the battery:
– the fastest way is to
connect your Xda Argon
directly to a wall socket
using the AC adapter, or
– plug the sync cable to the
USB port on your PC and
into the sync connector on
your Xda Argon.
3. Turn on and set up for
the first time
Turn on your Xda Argon by
pressing the power button on
the top right-hand edge.
A welcome screen will appear
and prompt you to Tap the
screen to set up your Xda
Argon. Then just follow the
on-screen instructions.
Your Xda Argon will then start
to set up and add applications
supplied by O2. After about
two minutes, you’ll see a
customisation screen so you
can tailor some options on
your Xda Argon.

5. Enter your PIN
When your Xda Argon restarts, it
may ask you to enter the PIN for
your SIM.
Tap in your PIN and select Enter.
If you’re an O2 Ireland customer,
please enter the PUK code
supplied with your SIM or call
Customer Service on 1909.
Xda Argon Top Tip: A
wrong PIN entered three
times will block your SIM
card. 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.
Customisation setup:
You will see a screen on the Xda
Argon with a drop-down box.
This is to confirm the O2 country
and settings you need; whether
Postpay or Prepay if available, or
to remove the settings.
The O2 UK Postpay settings
are selected as the default.
Please check that the “I want to
configure now” box is ticked
(it is the default).
The last option will remove
all settings and should only
be used if you are setting
up your Xda for use within
a Corporate environment
– otherwise your Xda Argon
will not function correctly.
Then select the OK box in the
top right of the screen.
4. Check the battery
power
To check the battery power just
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, connect the device to a
power supply.

6. Synchronise with your
PC or laptop
Microsoft® ActiveSync® lets you
synchronise information on your

Inbox, Calendar, contacts and
tasks within Microsoft Outlook®.
The software is already installed
on your Xda Argon 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 Argon box into the
CD drive of your PC and follow
the simple on-screen wizard.
When it’s installed just connect
the USB cable to your PC and
start synchronising.

let’s get going!
