Getting Started
You can use some features of your Zipit Wireless Messenger 2 without
being connected to the Internet. To get started, though, or to use
instant messaging, you must have
wireless Internet (Wi-Fi® network) access
an existing instant messaging (IM) account
Wi-Fi Access
If you are using your Zipit device at home, you will need a wireless
access point or router that is connected to a broadband Internet
service (like a cable or DSL connection).
If you are in a public area or business, you will need wireless access
through a public Wi-Fi “hotspot.” A public Wi-Fi hotspot is an open
hotspot that does not require a browser or a fee for access.
Check this! Lots of businesses, hotels, and restaurants have public
hotspots that are free to their customers. Go to
Zipitwireless.com to see the available hotspots in your area.
The Zipit Wireless Messenger 2 contains an 802.11g radio and will
work with both 802.11b and 802.11g networks.
IM Account
If you don’t have an IM account, you can set one up for free on any
Internet-connected PC. Go to Zipitwireless.com for more
information. When you set up a new account, you will choose or be
provided with a screen name and a password.

AC adapter
Charging the Battery
Plug the AC adapter into the DC input jack on the back side of your
Zipit device and into an AC power outlet. You can start using your
device immediately. Charge the battery for at least 3 hours before
removing the power adapter.
An LED on your Zipit device shows the status of your battery. If the
battery is charging (on AC power), the battery LED will be solid amber.
The LED will turn solid green when the battery is completely charged.
If the battery charge gets low, the LED will blink in amber, the battery
icon in the chat window header will flash, and you’ll see this message:
You’ll only
see this
message
once. If
you press
NEXT and
don’t
connect
your AC
adapter,
your Zipit
device will
turn itself off
in 5
minutes.
Turning the Zipit Device On and Off
To turn your Zipit device On or Off, press and hold the Power button
for at least one second.

Caution: Your Zipit Wireless Messenger 2 automatically checks for
software updates when you go online. If an update is available
and ready to install, do not power off until the installation is
complete.
Using Standby and Sleep Modes
Your Zipit device enters Sleep mode when you close the lid or after 5
minutes with no activity. In Sleep mode, the device turns off its
display but remains connected to network applications (IM and
streaming music) unless you move out of range of the network. Your
IM buddies will see your Away message, and you can continue to play
music. When you open the lid, your device will wake up and return to
your most recent application. Because Sleep mode saves your
battery power, it is a good idea to close the lid if you are taking a long
break from using your Zipit device.
Your Zipit device enters Suspend mode after 4 hours in Sleep mode.
When it enters Suspend mode, your device closes all applications but
does not shut down all the way. Your Zipit device will stay in
Suspend mode for up to 4 days with a fully charged battery. If the
battery power gets too low, your device will turn itself Off.
You can return to On mode from Sleep or Suspend very quickly, by
opening the lid, pressing any key, or pressing the power button. You
can customize the time limits for entering Sleep and Suspend modes
through the global settings.

GET CONNECTED
The first time you turn on your Zipit Wireless Messenger 2, the Setup
Wizard will help you
Search for and connect to your wireless network
Enter the screen names and passwords for your IM accounts (up to
one each for AIM, MSN, and Yahoo)
Register your Zipit device
You can update your setup information later if you need to.
Connecting to Your Wireless Network
Wireless networks can be set up in several ways, with different types
of security and connection requirements. Networks can be
encrypted or open. Encrypted networks require you to provide a
special access code called a “WEP key” or “WPA key” to get connected.
This means that only authorized people who know the key can use
them. Open networks are available to any user within range.
Some networks are hidden, which means you have to know their
names to be able to find and use them.
Some networks use dynamic DHCP addressing, which means that the
network automatically tells a device how to get to the Internet when it
joins the network. Other networks use static IP addressing and
require you to know the address for connecting to the Internet.
For more information about network connections, see the Support
page at Zipitwireless.com.

Your Zipit device is designed to make the wireless connection
process as automated and simple as possible.
Whether your network is open or encrypted, hidden, or uses dynamic
DHCP or static IP addressing, the Zipit Setup Wizard will guide you
through the connection process.
When you turn on your Zipit device, it will search for all available
wireless networks and try to connect to the strongest open networks
first, followed by the strongest encrypted networks. If your network
is open (most home and public hotspot networks are), you probably
will not need to provide any information. If it is hidden or encrypted,
or uses static IP addressing, the Setup Wizard will prompt you to enter
the information it needs.
If you know that your network is hidden and know how to set up
networks, you can interrupt the automatic connection and configure
the network yourself.
When you connect to a network, the Setup Wizard will show a
Connected screen and the network status LED will turn solid green.

Connecting Automatically
Follow these steps to get up and running:
1. Turn on your Zipit device. The Welcome screen appears.
2. Press NEXT. The Zipit logo spins, showing you that your device is
searching for a network. This can take several seconds.
3. The Scanning for Wireless Networks screen displays the number
of networks found. Press NEXT.
4. The next screens that you see depend upon what type and
number of networks your Zipit device found.
–If one open network was found, the Automatically Connecting
screen will appear, your device will connect automatically, and the
message “Connected to (your network’s name)” will appear.
–If one encrypted network was found, your device will ask you to
enter a special access code called a WEP key or WPA key. Type in
the code and press NEXT. If you make a mistake while typing,
use the backspace key or the ←cursor key to back up and correct
it. Your device will use the information to connect, or will prompt
you to confirm the information.
Your Zipit device will not find a hidden network until you tell it where to look; then it
can connect. If no networks were found, your device will assume that a hidden
network is available and will prompt you to enter the network’s name (SSID). Enter
your network’s name in the SSID field and press NEXT. (If you don’t know your
SSID, your access point or router’s documentation or a label on your access
point/router can tell you how to find it. If you still
