SYNCHRONIZING INFORMATION—BASICS
NOTE To sync your info, you must install Palm® Desktop software from the Palm Software Installation CD that came with
your Treo 700
P smartphone—even if you sync with Outlook or another third-party application. See the User Guide for info.
Synchronizing means that information that is entered or updated in one place (your smartphone
or your computer) is automatically updated in the other, so there’s no need to enter the
information twice. We strongly recommend that you synchronize your Treo smartphone with
your computer or corporate server frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed
up) in both locations.
The info from all the following applications is updated by default each time you sync your
smartphone with your desktop software:
How each application syncs depends on your computer type and the desktop software you are
using, as follows:
Computer typeDesktop typeWhat syncs and where
WindowsMicrosoft OutlookCalendar, Contacts, Memos, and Tasks sync with
Outlook
Pics&Videos syncs with Palm Desktop
WindowsPalm DesktopAll apps sync with Palm Desktop
MacPalm DesktopAll apps sync with Palm Desktop

NOTE You can customize which applications synchronize; see the User Guide for information.
1. Connect your Treo 700P smartphone to your
computer; see the User Guide for instructions.

2. Press the sync button on the sync cable.
3. Messages appear on both your smartphone and on
your computer indicating that synchronization is in
progress.
4. Wait for messages that indicate that the process is
complete before you remove the sync cable.
MOVING AROUND THE SCREEN
To move around the Treo 700P smartphone screen, you can use the 5-way navigator for one-
handed navigation, or you can tap items on the screen with the stylus. With use, you’ll find your
own favorite way to scroll, highlight, and select items.
The 5-way includes Right , Left , Up , Down , and Center buttons.

Scrolling through screens
As on a computer, you scroll on your smartphone to move from field to field or page to page,
or in some cases to highlight an item or option in a list. There are several methods of scrolling:
■ Press the 5-way on the front of your smartphone. Press Right
, Left , Up , or Down to move to the next field, button, or

action in that direction.
■ In list screens, press and hold Up or Down to scroll one
screen at a time.
■ When inside a text field, press Right or Left to scroll to the
next character or word, press Up or Down to scroll between
lines, or press and hold Up or Down to scroll one screen at a time.
■ Using the stylus, tap an onscreen scroll arrow or drag the slider of
Scroll bar
an onscreen scroll bar.
Highlighting and selecting items
On most screens, one item—a button, a list entry, or a check box—is highlighted by default. The
highlight identifies which item is affected by your next action. Use the 5-way to move the
highlight from one item to another before opening or selecting it.
The highlight can take one of two forms, depending on what is highlighted:
■ Border glow: When an onscreen button (such as OK or Cancel) or a pick
list is highlighted, the item displays a glow around its border.
6
■ Colored background: When a phone number, text, an email address, or
a web link is highlighted, the item is displayed as white type on a
colored background.
After highlighting an item, you can select or activate it by pressing Center or by tapping the
item with the stylus.
Accessing command buttons
In most applications, command buttons such as New, OK, and Details appear at the bottom of the
screen. In many cases, you can jump directly to these buttons instead of scrolling to them. 5-way
controls vary according to application, but here are some general rules that apply to most
applications:
■ From a list screen, such as the Contacts list or Memos list, press Right to jump to the first
button.
■ From a screen where you create or edit entries, such as Edit Contacts, press Center to
jump to the first button.
■ From a dialog box, such as Edit Categories, press Up , Down , Right , or Left to scroll
to the buttons.

USING YOUR PHONE
TURNING YOUR SMARTPHONE ON/OFF
NOTE Throughout this guide the term smartphone is used to describe your device and it’s physical aspects. The term
phone is used to describe the feature of your smartphone that enables you to connect to the Verizon Wireless network.
You can turn on your smartphone screen and your phone independently. For example, the
smartphone screen can be off while the phone is turned on, or the smartphone screen can be on

Turning your phone on and off
When your phone is on, it is connected to a mobile network (provided you are in a coverage area)
so that you can make and receive phone calls and use wireless services, such as email,
messaging, and the web browser. During initial setup, your phone is on by default, so you can
use wireless services right away.
If you turn off your phone, you can still use the organizer features such as Contacts and Calendar,
as well as the media features, such as the Pocket Tunes™ music application and Pics&Videos.
This is sometimes referred to as flight mode and is ideal for airplane flights and maximizing
battery life.
1. Wake up the screen.
2. Press and hold Power/End to turn on your phone. When your smartphone locates a
signal, Verizon Wireless and the signal-strength icon appear at the top of the screen,
indicating that you can use the phone and Internet features (if supported by the local
network). If you’re outside a coverage area, the indicator light flashes amber and no bars
appear in the signal-strength icon.
3. Press and hold Power/End again to turn off your phone. When your phone is off,
Phone Off and the phone-off icon appear at the top of the screen and your smartphone is
not connected to any mobile network. You can still use the nonwireless features of your
