GETTING STARTED

What you need to get started:

Wireless Internet Access – To use your Zipit Wireless Messenger,

you must be near an IEEE 802.11b or IEEE 802.11g wireless

network (frequently called a Wi-Fi® network). Zipit Wireless

Messenger contains an 802.11b radio and will work with both

802.11b and 802.11g networks.

If you are using the device at home, you will need an 802.11b or

802.11g wireless access point or router that is connected to a

broadband Internet service (such as a cable or DSL connection).

Outside the home, many businesses are now offering wireless

access. Such locations are frequently called “hotspots”. In order

to use Zipit Wireless Messenger outside the home, you will need

to access a “hotspot” that doesn’t require you to pay a subscription

fee.

Instant Messenger Accounts – Before using your Zipit Wireless

Messenger, you must have an existing IM account. (You can not

setup a new account on Zipit Wireless Messenger.) If you don’t

have an existing account, you can easily setup new accounts for

free on any Internet connected PC. When setting 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 the unit and

into an AC Power outlet. Zipit Wireless Messenger can be used while it is

being charged. The Lithium Ion battery in Zipit Wireless Messenger should

be charged for 3 hours before portable use.

Powering Zipit Wireless Messenger on and off

To turn Zipit Wireless Messenger on or off, press and hold the Power button

for at least one second.

During normal use, closing the lid will cause the unit to go into a low power

(Standby) mode. If connected to the network when the lid is closed, Zipit

Wireless Messenger will remain connected to the network until the lid is re-

opened or until the unit is moved outside the range of the wireless network.

Power consumption is reduced when the device is in Standby – significantly

lengthening the battery life.

First Time Use

The first time you turn on your Zipit Wireless Messenger the Setup Wizard

will guide you through a brief setup process. During this process, you will

search for and connect to your wireless network, you will enter the screen

name and password for your Instant Messenger account, and you will define

how the programmable keys on the Zipit Wireless Messenger keyboard will

be used.

NETWORK BASICS

Signal Strength: The strength of the connection is determined by your proximity to the Wireless Access Point

(or Wireless Router), structural interference, and device interference (devices such as Microwave ovens or 2.4

GHz cordless phones operate on the same radio frequency as 802.11b and g and can cause performance

degradation on your wireless network).

SSID: Wireless Access Points typically broadcast a name or identifier – called an SSID – so that the network

can easily be identified and selected by wireless device users. Access points can be configured to not

broadcast the SSID so that the network is not easily available to other users. If your network does not

broadcast the SSID, you will be able to enter the SSID manually on Zipit Wireless Messenger.

Encryption: Wireless Access Points can be configured to encrypt network traffic so that unauthorized users

can’t use the networks. When the Access Point is configured for encryption, a key will be generated that can

be used by wireless devices to access the network. This key is commonly known as a WEP (Wired

Equivalent Privacy) key. Only users that know the key will be able to access the wireless network.

For Fee Hotspots: Some hotspots require the user to pay a fee or have a monthly subscription in order to

access their network. These locations typically expect the user’s device to have a web browser where the user

can enter a pin number or credit card information to pay for using the network. These networks are not

currently supported by Zipit Wireless Messenger

DHCP: All networked devices must have an IP address assigned to them which lets them know where to send

and retrieve information in order to attach to the Internet. Most Wireless Access Points will be configured to

automatically provide an IP Address to devices that attempt to connect to the network. Such devices have

DHCP enabled - which allows the access point to dynamically assign IP addresses to devices as they connect.

An access point can be configured such that DHCP is disabled and devices can only attach to the network if

they know the (static) IP address required by the Access Point.

CONNECTING TO A WIRELESS NETWORK

Automated Connection

Although wireless networks can be configured in a variety of ways, Zipit

Wireless Messenger is designed to make the Wireless connection process

as automated and simple as possible.

When the device is turned on, Zipit Wireless Messenger will search for all

available wireless networks and attempt to connect to the strongest

unencrypted networks first, followed by the strongest encrypted networks.

If your network is unencrypted, it is likely that the connection will not require

any input. Otherwise, follow the on screen instructions to connect to your

network. If you prefer to manually select or configure a network, press NEXT

while the device is searching for networks.

If your network is encrypted, you will be asked to enter a password (WEP

Key). If your network is hidden, you will have to identify your network.

Checking for Software Updates

Each time the Zipit Wireless Messenger connects to the Internet, it will

determine if a new software update is available. If a software update is

available, the Zipit Wireless Messenger will automatically install it and then

re-start.

WARNING: If your device is connected to an AC Power Outlet while

downloading a new software load, do not unplug your device from the AC

Power Outlet until the download and installation is complete.

After successfully connecting to the Internet and checking for software

updates, you will need to setup your Instant Messenger accounts.

Remember: Before using your Zipit Wireless Messenger, you must have an

existing IM account.

The Setup Wizard will ask if you have AOL, Yahoo, and MSN accounts. You

will then be asked to enter the Screen Name and Password for each of your

accounts.

Note: Restricted AOL accounts, such as KAOL accounts, are not supported.

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

your screen name.
