End user notice

NOTE The Voice Command application is not available in all

languages. See Setting up voice commands

Microsoft

Voice Command Version 1.5 for Windows Mobile

IMPORTANT Do not become distracted from driving safely if

operating a motor vehicle while using Device Software.

Operating certain parts of this Device requires user attention. Diverting attention away from the road while driving can possibly cause an accident or other serious consequences. Even occasional, short diversions of attention can be dangerous if your attention is diverted away from your driving task at a critical time. Do not change system settings or enter data non-verbally (using your hands) while driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before attempting these operations. This is important since while setting up or changing some functions you might be required to distract your attention away from the road and remove your hands from the wheel.

Microsoft makes no representations, warranties, or other determinations that ANY use of the Software Product is legal, safe, or in any manner recommended or intended while driving or otherwise operating a motor vehicle.

General Operation

NOTE The Voice Command application is not available in all

languages. See Setting up voice commands

Voice Command Control: Many of the functions of the Device Software can be accomplished using only voice commands. Using voice commands while driving allows you to initiate the command with a button and then operate the Device mostly without removing your hands from the wheel.

Prolonged Views of Screen: If you are driving, do not access any function requiring a prolonged view of the screen. Pull over in a safe and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the system requiring prolonged attention. Even occasional short scans to

the screen may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted away from your driving task at a critical time.

Volume Setting: Do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the volume at a level where you can still hear outside traffic and emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable to hear these sounds could cause an accident.

Let Your Judgment Prevail: The Device Software is only an aid. Make your driving decisions based on your observations of local

conditions and existing traffic regulations. The Device Software is not a substitute for your personal judgment.

Use of Speech Recognition Functions: Speech recognition software is inherently a statistical process which is subject to errors. It is your responsibility to monitor the speech recognition functions and address any errors.

Inserting the SIM card and battery

Your SIM card contains account information such as your phone number and voicemail access number. To use your Treo 750 smart device’s phone, email, or

web features, you need to insert a SIM card. If a SIM card is not included in your Treo 750 box, Cingular will provide you with one.

7 If your SIM card is not already activated,

follow the activation steps provided by Cingular, or contact Cingular directly for assistance. If you plan to use email and web browsing, you need high-speed data service from Cingular in addition to your service contract. You may also need high-speed data service to send and receive multimedia messages.

Charging the battery

Although the battery may come with a sufficient charge to complete the setup process, we recommend that after setup you charge your Treo 750 for three hours (or until the indicator light is solid green) to give it a full charge. See Maximizing battery life for tips on making your battery’s power last longer.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN Make sure the

battery is inserted before you charge. If you connect your Treo 750 to a power source without the battery inserted, nothing happens.

1 Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet. 2 With the arrow on the connector facing

up (toward your Treo 750 screen), connect the charger cable to the bottom of your Treo 750.

TIP

If your Treo 750 does not turn on after you insert the battery, you need to connect it to the AC charger to charge it; see C

harging the battery. If it still doesn’t start, perform a soft reset; see P

erforming a soft reset for

information.

TIP

You can buy an extra battery as a spare for long airplane trips or periods of heavy data use. To ensure proper functioning, be sure to use batteries from Palm only. Visit www.palm.com

Maximizing battery life

Battery life depends on how you use your Treo 750. You can maximize the life of your battery by following a few easy guidelines:

• Charge your Treo 750 whenever you’re

at your desk, or charge it overnight each day. The battery in your Treo 750 has a much longer useful life if you charge it frequently instead of waiting until it’s fully drained.

• If you spend a lot of time using the

camera (if included), games, media players (including listening to music with wireless headphones using the built-in Bluetooth

wireless technology), eBooks, or other applications, keep an eye on the battery icon and charge when necessary.

• The wireless features (phone, email,

messaging, and web) on your Treo 750 generally consume more power than the organizer features. If you don’t plan

to use the wireless features on your Treo 750 for a while, turn off your wireless services (see Turning wireless services on/off). You can forward calls to a different number or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see Forwarding calls). To see if your wireless services are on, tap the phone-off icon, and then select Wireless Manager.

• If you are synchronizing email and other

information directly with your corporate Exchange Server using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync

, set the synchronization interval to a maximum of every 15 minutes during peak times and every hour (or turned off completely) during non-peak times (see Setting the synchronization schedule

• Turn off the Bluetooth feature when you

do not need to make a Bluetooth connection (see Entering basic Bluetooth settings).

DID YOU KNOW

If your battery ever becomes fully drained, your info remains safely stored on your Treo 750. Recharge the battery to access your info.

DID YOU KNOW

You can also see if your wireless services are on by pressing Menu (right action key) and selecting Wireless Manager.

MAKING YOUR FIRST CALL

CHAPTER

• Turn the voice command feature off

(see Setting up voice commands

• As with any mobile phone, if you are in

an area with no wireless coverage, your Treo 750 searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot move to an area of better coverage, temporarily turn off your phone (see Turning your Palm® Treo™ 750 smart device on/off).

• Turn down the screen brightness (see

Adjusting the brightness

• Set your screen to turn off automatically

after a shorter period of inactivity (see O

ptimizing power settings).

• Turn off the option to receive beamed

information (see Beaming a record

• Keep your battery away from direct

sunlight and other sources of heat. Temperatures over 120 degrees Farenheit (50 degrees Celsius) can permanently reduce the capacity and life span of any lithium ion battery.

Setting up synchronization

Once you’ve finished setting up your Treo 750, we recommend that you set up a synchronization method to get the most out of your Treo 750. Synchronization allows you to enter or change information on your Treo 750 or in Microsoft Office Outlook

on your computer; your info is then automatically updated in both places—no need to enter the info twice. See Synchronizing information

TIP

If your phone number doesn’t appear on the Phone Settings screen, your network has not yet sent the number to the SIM card (this does not affect SIM card functionality).

Moving around on your Palm® Treo™ 750 smart device

Have you ever been to a new city and felt a bit lost until you figured out that the numbered streets run north/south and the avenues run east/west? Learning to move around on your Palm

Treo™ 750 smart device is similar. Most applications that work on your Treo 750 use the same set of controls. So once you learn how to use these controls, you’ll be driving all over town and you won’t even need a map.

Benefits

• Quickly move around and

complete tasks in applications using one thumb on the 5-way navigator

• Access extra features with menus

• Find and open applications quickly

• Press OK .

• Use the stylus to tap or in the

upper-right corner of the screen. These buttons are not accessible using the 5-way.

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: This rectangular border

highlights items such as an onscreen button (such as OK, Dismiss, or Hide), a check box, an option, or a web link.

Scroll arrows

TIP

The best way to learn to use the 5-way is to experiment. Press the 5-way buttons and as you do, follow the movement of the border around the screen. The behavior of the 5-way varies slightly in each application.

• Stylus: Tap and drag the stylus across

the text you want to highlight. To highlight a word, double-tap it. To highlight a paragraph, triple-tap it.

Using the action keys

The left and right action keys give you quick access to tasks that you can do on the current screen, so the action key items vary from application to application and from screen to screen. Look on the screen directly above the action key to see the action that it takes in the current context. In some contexts, these keys may do nothing at all. In most cases the right action key opens the menu, and the left action key activates a specific command, such as New or Edit. Remember that action key functions vary from screen to screen, so be sure to check the onscreen label before pressing the action keys.

TIP

When text is highlighted, you can press

Backspace to delete the highlighted text.
