First start-up
The first start-up allows you to set your home
location, the time and date, and your personal
information.
Note that whenever you open the communicator
cover after having removed and replaced the
battery, you will see a welcome screen while the
device performs a self-test. The following steps,
however, occur only the first time the communi-
cator is activated, or after it has been reformatted.
To change any of the following settings after the
initial start-up, see "First start-up: Changing
start-up settings" on page 2-2.
