LEDAlerts Online User Guide

This guide assumes you are already familiar with the basic functionality of Windows Mobile 6 and your SmartPhone.

Installation Instructions

LEDAlerts was tested and confirmed to work with the following Windows Mobile 6 devices: Samsung BlackJack II (AT&T), SMT 5800 (Verizon), T-Mobile Dash (HTC S620), and HTC S730. The PC installer version will install LEDAlerts on your device using ActiveSync on your desktop PC. Or, by copying the CAB file version directly to your device and clicking on it, LEDAlerts can be installed without needing ActiveSync. LEDAlerts should be installed in your device's main memory, not on the storage card. Please accept all warnings during the installation process on the device.

Before completing the installtion process, you will be asked to choose your device. If you are using a Motorola Q or your device is not listed, choose "Standard Smartphone" then press Done.

When installation is complete, you will find the LEDAlerts application installed in your Start menu.

Using the Installed LEDAlerts Application on Your Device

The LEDAlerts application is used to control the functionality of LEDAlerts on your device. When you first install LEDAlerts you will have 7 days to use the program for free before it stops functioning. At that time, you will need to purchase the program and enter your Activation Code in order to continue using it.

Click on the LEDAlerts icon in your start menu to choose your options. On the first screen you will see three settings menus:

Illuminate when

On this menu, choose which events LEDAlerts should monitor. Press the center button or left and right buttons on the directional pad of your device to select a monitored event to establish settings for. When the event occurs, you can choose to have LEDAlerts illuminate the LED lamp on your device. Each event can have its own individual LED settings.

The following events can be monitored:

New E-Mail Received

New SMS Received

New MMS Received

New Voice Mail Received

Missed Call

Calendar/Task Reminder

A selected LED will stop blinking when the event has been cleared or satisfied. For example when a new Email or text message has been read, when a voice mail has been listened to, or when a calendar reminder has been dismissed or snoozed.

Action

On this menu, choose whether to have LEDAlerts take no action (let the device control the LED only) or turn on the LED when the selected event occurs. Press the center button or left and right buttons on the directional pad of your device to select an action for the event. There are two choices on this menu:

(no action)

Turn on

LED Lamp

On this menu, you can choose which LED lamp color LEDAlerts should illuminate when the monitored event (selected at the top of the screen) occurs. Press the center button or left and right buttons on the directional pad of your device to select an LED lamp color. The device, which LEDAlerts was installed on, will determine which LED lamp colors can be selected for each monitored event. The Verizon SMT 5800/HTC S730 has one yellow LED available, the T-Mobile Dash/HTC S620/Excalibur* has one green LED available. The Samsung BlackJack II has 7 different LED colors available:

Light Blue

Green

Light Purple

Red

Yellow

Dark Purple

Dark Blue

*Please note: The T-Mobile Dash/HTC S620/Excalibur has a slow blinking green LED light turned on at all times by default. LEDAlerts will increase the blinking speed of this green LED when a monitored event occurs. Unfortunately, this is a technical limitation of the Dash/HTC S620/Excalibur and the only way to trigger an external LED notification on this device.

Backlight:

In addition to the available LED's on most devices, you may also assign any event to the Backlight. When an assigned event occurs AND the device is NOT IN USE (idle), the display backlight will start to blink like an LED. When the event is satisfied, the display backlight will stop blinking. For Standard (non LED equipped) Smartphones, like the Motorola Q, only the Backlight option is available.

Multiple Events:

Each available event listed can be assigned a different LED (if available) color or the same LED color. When multiple events occur at the same time, LEDAlerts will blink the LED assigned for the first event which occurred, then the LED assigned for the second event which occurred, and so on. As each event is satisfied, its assigned LED will be dismissed or turned off.

Start Key (Left Soft Key)

When all options have been established for each monitored event, press the Start key (left soft key) to initialize and activate LEDAlerts. When a monitored event occurs (New E-Mail Received, New Voice Mail Received, Missed Calendar Reminder), LEDAlerts will either take no action (if chosen) or illuminate the LED you specified for that event.

Menu Key (Right Soft Key)

Under the Menu key, there are additional options, which affect the behavior of LEDAlerts.

LED Options

Maximum Duration:

In this menu you can select how long you would like an illuminated LED to continue blinking. Press the center button or left and right buttons on the directional pad of your device to select an LED blinking duration:

30 Seconds

1 Minute

5 Minutes

10 Minutes

30 Minutes

60 Minutes

90 Minutes

Indefinite (Continue blinking until dismissed)*

*May affect battery life.

Email LED based on Unread Messages:

When this option is checked, the Email event LED will be dismissed or suspended when all unread messages have been read or opened (default). If this option is not checked, the Email LED will be dismissed when the Messaging application is launched. This may be helpful if you typically keep a lot of unread messages in your inbox.

Suspend All

This option will stop all currently illuminated LED?s from blinking. This will not deactivate the program, it will simply dismiss all currently blinking LED?s.

Activation

When the 7 day free trial has expired, LEDAlerts will stop functioning and you will need to visit www.qorefunctions.com to purchase and activate the program. During the transaction, you will need to supply the owner name of your device (typically your full name) found under device settings. The activation code for LEDAlerts will be based on the device owner name. When the transaction is complete, you will be emailed your activation code within 2 business days. Choose Activation from the Menu (right soft key) and enter your activation code in the space provided. The program will continue to function at that point.

Cancel

Choose this option from the Menu (right soft key) to exit from the application without saving your changes.
