the setup process. When the language selection screen appears, select the language you want to use, and then follow the onscreen instructions to set up your Treo.

TIP

If your Treo does not turn on, you need to connect it to the AC charger. If it still does not turn on after being connected to the AC charger for five minutes, then do a soft reset. See Performing a soft reset

IMPORTANT Always use the same

language for your Treo, your computer operating system, and your desktop software. Otherwise, you may lose information or have difficulty with synchronization. Support is not provided for mismatched language setups.

The power-saving feature turns off the Treo screen after a period of inactivity. To wake up the screen, press and release Power/End, and then press Center on the 5-way to turn off Keyguard.

Charging the battery

The battery comes with a sufficient charge to complete the setup process and activate your phone. After activation, we recommend charging your Treo 680 for three hours (or until the indicator light is solid green) to give it a full charge. See Maximizing battery life maximizing the life of your Treo battery.

To avoid draining the battery, charge your Treo 680 every day, especially if you use your phone often.

Maximizing battery life

Battery life depends on how you use your Treo 680. You can maximize the life of your battery by following a few easy guidelines:

IMPORTANT Use the battery that came

with your Treo 680. Do not use a battery from another Treo in your Treo 680. Similarly, do not use the Treo 680 battery in another Treo. Using a battery that is designed for another Treo can damage your

Why set up a connection between your Treo 680 and your computer? So you can synchronize. Why synchronize? Here are two good reasons:

• It’s easier to enter names, phone

numbers, and addresses using the big keyboard on your computer than the keyboard on your Treo 680. Whether you enter or change information on your computer (using Palm software or Microsoft Outlook for Windows) or on your Treo 680, you

automatically update the info in both places when you synchronize. So there’s no need to enter the info twice.

• You have a backup copy of all your info.

Should anything happen to your Treo 680, your info still exists on your computer.

We strongly recommend that you synchronize your Treo 680 with your computer frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed up) in both locations.

Before you can synchronize, you need to install the desktop synchronization software and connect the sync cable to your computer.

System requirements

Your computer should meet the following minimum system profiles for Windows or Mac computers:

• Windows 2000 or XP (or later)

• 32MB of available memory (RAM)

• 170MB of free hard disk space

• CD drive

• Available USB port

• Mac OS X version 10.2 or later

• 128MB of total memory (RAM)

• 190MB of free hard disk space

• CD drive

• Available USB port

You can transfer all compatible applications and information from your previous Palm OS device—whether it’s a handheld or a Treo— to your new Treo 680, so long as the space taken up by all the info you want to transfer is 64MB or less. This includes your calendar events, contacts, memos, and tasks, as well as your application settings and any compatible third-party applications and files.

When you install the desktop software from the Palm Software Installation CD, some third-party applications may be quarantined because they are not compatible with the Palm OS software version 5.4.9 on your Treo 680.

We do not recommend using third-party utilities that back up your old device’s information onto an expansion card and then transfer the info to your Treo 680. Such methods transfer all applications to your Treo 680, including ones that are not designed to work with Palm OS version 5.4.9.

• Delete any third-party applications

that you no longer use.

• Move large files, such as eBooks and

• Move third-party applications to an

3 Synchronize your previous device with

your previous desktop software to back up your information one last time.

4 Install the desktop synchronization

software from your new Palm Software Installation CD (see Installing the desktop synchronization software).

5 During the installation process, sync

your Treo 680 with your new desktop software as instructed. When prompted, do the following:

• Connect your Treo 680 to your

computer (see Connecting your Treo 680 to your computer).

• Indicate whether you want to sync

only the info in your PIM apps (Calendar, Contacts, Memos, and

Tasks) or all info and apps (excluding apps known to be incompatible).

• Select a device name for your Treo

680; be sure to select the same name that you used for your old device. (This is the name that appears in the User list in Palm Desktop software.)

MAC ONLY If you have pictures on

your previous device, copy them from your previous device to an expansion card or beam them to your Treo 680.

7 If you plan to continue using your

previous device, perform a hard reset on your previous device to remove its associated device name. (See the documentation that came with your previous device for instructions on performing a hard reset.) Each device you synchronize with your computer must have a unique name. The next time you synchronize your previous device with your computer, be sure to assign it a new name.

TIP

For best performance, plug your sync cable directly into a USB port on your computer. If your computer has USB ports on both the front and back, we suggest using the back port; the front port is often a low-power port. If you use a USB hub, make sure the hub has its own power supply.

Connecting to a Bluetooth hands-free device

from another Bluetooth device. See the documentation that came with your hands-free device for instructions.

KEY TERM

Partnership Two devices—for

example, your Treo 680 and a hands-free device—that can connect because each device finds the same passkey on the other device. Once you form a partnership with a device, you don’t need to enter a passkey to connect with that device again. Partnership is also known as paired relationship, pairing, trusted device, and trusted pair.

1 Press Applications and select

Bluetooth or tap the Bluetooth

icon in the title bar.

2 Select Bluetooth On.

NOTE The Bluetooth icon changes from

gray to blue to let you know that Bluetooth technology is turned on.

Once you set up a partnership with a Bluetooth hands-free device, you can communicate with that device whenever it is turned on and within range. Bluetooth range is up to 30 feet in optimum environmental conditions. Performance and range may be reduced by physical obstacles, radio interference from nearby electronic equipment, and other factors.

TIP

If you hear a headset buzz or experience poor microphone performance, your headset may be incompatible with your Treo 680.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN Prepare your

hands-free device to accept a connection

3 (Optional) Enter a device name that

identifies your Treo 680 when it is discovered by other Bluetooth devices.

NOTE Use the same device name for all

your Bluetooth connections. If you change the device name, you need to recreate any partnerships you already created.

Page 73

YOUR PHONE

4 Select Setup Devices. 5 Select Hands-free Setup.

6 Follow the onscreen instructions to

create a partnership with the specific hands-free device. When prompted, enter a passkey.

IMPORTANT Some hands-free devices

have a predefined passkey; if so, you can find the passkey in the documentation for that device. Other devices provide a screen where you enter a passkey that you make up. In either case, you must use the same passkey on both your Treo 680 and your hands-free device. We recommend that where possible, you make up a passkey of 16 alphanumeric characters (letters and numerals only) to improve the security of your Treo 680. The longer the passkey, the

more difficult it is for the passkey to be deciphered.

7 After you finish setting up the device,

select Done to return to Trusted Devices View.

NOTE For some car kits, you need to

initiate a Bluetooth connection from your Treo 680 to complete the partnership process. To do this, highlight the car kit in Trusted Devices View, press Menu , and then select Connect.

8 (Optional) Enable advanced hands-free

features by pressing the multifunction button (MFB) on the hands-free device.

You can tell the connection is successful when you see a light blue headset icon in the title bar of the Phone application. You can now use your Treo 680 with the Bluetooth hands-free device.

Using a Bluetooth hands-free device

After you create a partnership with your Bluetooth hands-free device and you turn it on within range (up to 30 feet), the Treo automatically routes all calls to the hands-free device instead of to the
