Moving around the screen

To move around the Palm® Treo™ 700wx smartphone screen, you can use the 5-way navigator or you can tap items on the touch screen with the stylus. As you become familiar with your smartphone, you’ll find your own favorite way to scroll, highlight, and select items.

Custom navigation features

Closing screens

To accept the information you entered on a screen and to return to the previous screen, do one of the following:

• Press OK .

• Use the stylus to tap or in the

upper-right corner of the screen.

NOTE When you close a screen, the

application still runs in memory. See the

Using Your Palm

Treo™ 700wx user guide

for instructions about viewing the amount of memory in use versus the available memory, and for instructions about closing applications and freeing up memory.

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: 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.

• Reverse type (light text on a dark

background): This highlights items such as a phone number, an email address, text, or an item in a list.

After highlighting an item with the 5-way, you can select or activate it by pressing Center or by tapping the item with the stylus.

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 glow around the screen. The behavior of the 5-way varies slightly in each application.

Highlighting text

You can use the stylus to highlight text on the screen:

• 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 does 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 an action key.

• If you spend a lot of time using the

camera, games, media players, eBooks, or other applications, keep an eye on the battery icon and charge when necessary.

• Your smartphone’s wireless features

(phone, email, messaging, and web) generally consume more power than the organizer features. If you don’t plan to use the wireless features on your smartphone for a while, turn off your wireless services (see “Turning wireless services on/off” on page 111). You can forward calls to a different number or let all calls be picked up by voicemail. To see if your wireless services are on, tap the phone-off icon, and then select Wireless Manager.

• Turn off your smartphone’s Bluetooth

wireless technology feature when you

smartphone 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 phone on and off” on page 9).

• Turn down the screen brightness (see

“Adjusting the brightness” on page 106).

• Set your screen to turn off automatically

after a shorter period of inactivity (see the Using Your Palm

• Keep your battery away from direct

Phone overview

IMPORTANT Depending on where you are

on a wireless network with certain coverage conditions, you might experience interruptions with your phone operation while using a Wi-Fi card (you must purchase and install a third-party Wi-Fi card to use this feature). Palm recommends that you turn off the phone radio when using any Wi-Fi card with your smartphone or remove the Wi-Fi card when not in use to ensure that you can always make and receive phone calls. For EMERGENCY calls, always remove the card from your smartphone to ensure optimal connectivity.

What are all those icons?

You can monitor the status of several items using icons at the top of your Today screen:

You missed an incoming call.

You have a voicemail message.

You have a new email or text message.

You have more than one of the conditions listed previously.

Your phone is on. The bars display the signal strength. The stronger the signal, the more bars that appear. If you are outside a coverage area, no bars appear.

Your phone is off.

You are outside your wireless service provider‘s coverage area and are roaming on another wireless service provider’s network.

Headset specifications

Your smartphone works with headsets that have a 2.5mm, 3-pin connector (look for two black bands on the plug). When in doubt, ask the third-party headset manufacturer if the product is compatible with Palm Treo 700wx smartphones. If you hear a headset buzz or poor microphone performance, your headset may be incompatible with your smartphone.

Using a hands-free device with Bluetooth wireless technology

Your Treo 700wx smartphone is also compatible with many headsets and car kits enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology version 1.1 or 1.2. Your smartphone supports only call audio with Bluetooth headsets. It does not support stereo music playback with Bluetooth headsets (enabled with Bluetooth A2DP profile).

To learn how to set up and connect to Bluetooth devices, see“Setting up a Bluetooth connection” on page 68.

Here are tips for working with a Bluetooth hands-free device:

• To transfer a call from the handset to a
