 Using SnapVUE™
SnapVUE™ is an instant-on mode that gives you up-to-date weather information, SMS 
messaging, and a Direct Push function that enables you to receive instant work e-mails 
(Outlook E-mail) from your company’s Exchange Server mailbox.
To change to SnapVUE mode, tap the SnapVUE button that is located on the lower left side 
of the touch panel.  You can switch to SnapVUE mode anytime, whether Windows Vista® is 
running or off.
 The Comm Manager
Comm Manager acts like a central switch that allows you to easily connect and disconnect from 
the Internet and to turn on and off Direct Push. To open the Comm Manager, tap the Settings 
icon on the Home screen and then tap Comm Manager.
 Send Text Messages
In SnapVUE mode, you can send short text messages (SMS) to other mobile phones or devices.
 Set Up Data Connection
In SnapVUE, a 3G or GPRS/EDGE data connection is needed so you can access the Internet and 
download the latest weather information, synchronize information with the Exchange Server, 
and send and receive e-mails. The Connection Setup wizard automatically sets up the data 
connection for you based on the USIM/SIM card that you inserted on your Mobile Computer.
