You can also turn off your phone’s screen without turning off your phone’s wireless
features.

arrows that you tap with
your stylus or select with
the 5-way to display

CrowdyUG.book Page 21 Monday, August 1, 2005 3:58 PM

Selecting menu items

Many applications have menus to provide access to additional features. These menus

menus.

2. Press Right and Left to switch between menus.

3. Press Up and Down to highlight a menu item.

4. Press Center to select the menu item, or press
Menu to close the menu and cancel your

Selecting options in a pick list

A range of options is often presented in a type of menu called a pick list, which can be
identified by a downward-pointing arrow. Pick lists are different from the application
menus described above.

• Use the 5-way to highlight the pick list, and then press Center to display the items
in the list. Press Up and Down to highlight the item you want, and then press

Center to accept your selection.

• To exit the pick list and cancel your selection, press Left or Right .

• Use your stylus to tap the pick list, and then tap the item you want from the list.

3. Follow the onscreen instructions of the installation program. Please note these
important points about the installation process:

Synchronizing contacts and
other information

Synchronizing means that information that is entered or updated in one place
(your phone or your computer) is automatically updated in the other—no need to
enter 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.

Synchronizing with the Palm®Desktop software

Before you can synchronize your contacts and other personal information, you must
install the Palm Desktop software from the CD that came with your Treo smartphone.
See “Installing the desktop synchronization software on your computer” on page 30
for instructions.

If you use the default settings, information from all the following applications is

transferred each time you synchronize your phone with your computer:

If you choose to synchronize your phone with Outlook, information from Contacts,

We strongly recommend
that you install the
synchronization software
soon after you start using
your smartphone, and that
you synchronize your Treo
smartphone and computer
frequently to keep your
information up-to-date

locations.

• If you want to synchronize information with applications other than

Battery life

Battery life depends on usage. When used as a phone, your Treo smartphone battery
provides up to 5 hours of talk time or up to 300 hours of standby time.

Maximizing battery life

You can increase the life of your battery by following a few easy guidelines.
Remember that battery life depends on how you use your smartphone.

• Charge your smartphone whenever you’re at your desk, or charge it overnight. The
Li-Ion battery in your smartphone has a much longer useful life when it is topped
off frequently, versus charging it after it is fully drained.

• The wireless features (phone, email, SMS, and web) of your smartphone generally
consume more power than its organizer features. However, if you spend a lot of
time using the camera (if included), games, media players, eBooks, or other Palm
OS applications, keep an eye on the battery icon and charge when necessary.

• If you don’t plan to use the wireless features on your smartphone for a while, you
may want to turn off your phone (see “Turning your phone on and off” on page 14).
You can let all calls be picked up by voicemail.

• As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage, your
Treo smartphone searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot move
to an area of better coverage, temporarily turn off your phone.

• Turn down the screen brightness (see “Adjusting the brightness” on page 147).

• Decrease the Auto-off setting in Power Preferences (see “Power Preferences” on
page 154). This turns off your screen automatically after a shorter period of
inactivity.

• Turn off the Bluetooth
“Connecting to devices with Bluetooth

®

wireless technology if it is not being used. See

®

wireless technology.”

IMPORTANT: You must
charge your smartphone
fully before using it the first
time. Wait until the
indicator light turns solid
green, which may take
up to 4 hours.

If the battery drains to
the point where your
smartphone doesn’t turn
on, the device stores your
info safely until you
recharge the battery. To
avoid draining the battery,
charge and synchronize
your smartphone every day,
especially if you use your
phone often.

If the battery is fully
drained, it may take a few
moments for the indicator
light to turn on while
charging.

can be letters or numbers, but you can’t use both the letter and number for the same
key. For example, the voicemail Quick Key is 1. The letter equivalent for that key is E,
so you cannot assign E as a Quick Key to another favorite button.

Headset specifications

Your Treo™ 650 smartphone uses a 2.5mm, 3-pin headset connector and works with
headsets that are designed for this type of connector. When in doubt, ask the third­party headset manufacturer if the product is compatible with Treo smartphones. If you
hear a headset buzz or poor microphone performance, your headset may be
incompatible with Treo smartphones.

In addition to the headset
that came with your Treo
smartphone, you can use
other third-party headsets.

To hear stereo sounds
through the jack (such
as music), you should use
a stereo adapter or other
accessory. Visit
www.palm.com/us/support
for more information on
audio accessories and for
the latest compatibility info.

The headset designed for
Treo 180/270/300 devices
is not compatible with your
Treo 650 smartphone.

Your Treo smartphone is also compatible with headsets and car kits enabled with

Bluetooth
with Bluetooth wireless technology currently available, as many of these headsets and
car kits support both Bluetooth 1.1 and 1.2 wireless technology. Check the
specifications for your headset or car kit to confirm compatibility. Please note,
however, that you cannot use a headset with Bluetooth wireless technology to listen

Bluetooth

wireless technology

With your phone’s built-in Bluetooth® wireless technology, you can connect to a
number of devices with Bluetooth wireless technology such as a headset, hands-free
car kit, printer, or GPS receiver, as well as to other phones and handhelds with
Bluetooth wireless technology. If your computer is enabled with Bluetooth wireless
technology, you can also synchronize wirelessly.

Once you set up a connection with a device with Bluetooth wireless technology,
you can communicate with that device whenever it is within range (up to 30 feet).
Bluetooth range is up to 30 feet dependent upon environmental conditions; including
obstacles, radio interference from nearby electronic equipment, and other factors.

Connecting to a headset or car kit with Bluetooth
wireless technology

1. Go to Applications and select Bluetooth .

2. Select On.

Go to

compatible hands-free
devices.

If you’re using a hands-free
device with Bluetooth
wireless technology and it
is within range, the Treo
smartphone automatically
routes all calls to the
hands-free device instead
of to the handset.

When a call comes in, your
phone rings and the car kit
or headset beeps. Even if
you pick up the call on
your Treo phone, the call
goes to the headset or
car kit.
