Battery life

Battery life depends on individual use. Consumption factors include signal strength, backlight and speakerphone use, and whether calls are data or voice calls.

When Wireless Mode is on, the Treo battery provides approximately 4 hours of talk time or approximately 10 days of standby time on the PCS, 1900 MHz band. Talk time is slightly lower when roaming on the cellular 800Mhz band. When Wireless Mode is off, the battery provides about 4 weeks of normal use.

If the battery drains to the point where your Treo doesn’t turn on, the Treo stores your data safely for about 3 days. We recommend that you charge and synchronize your Treo every day, especially if you use your phone often.

Start Here.book Page 5 Thursday, July 17, 2003 4:43 PM

Maximizing battery life

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

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

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

•If you don’t plan to use the wireless features on your Treo for a while, you may want to turn off Wireless Mode. See page 27. You can forward calls to a different number or let all calls be picked up by voicemail. See page 56.

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

•Use the keyboard backlight (see page 34) only when you need it. Turn down the screen brightness (see page 127).

•Decrease the Auto-off setting in General Preferences. See page 135. This turns off your screen automatically after a shorter period of inactivity.

Preparing Your Computer

Synchronization allows you to enter information on your computer in an application called Palm Desktop or in Microsoft Outlook and then efﬁciently transfer that information to your Treo. At the same time, changes you make on the Treo are transferred to Palm Desktop software or to Microsoft Outlook. Even if you manage all your contacts on your Treo, synchronization is a great way to back up your data.

Before you can synchronize, you need to install the Palm Desktop synchronization software on your computer. Even if you already own a Palm Powered device and have installed a previous version of the Palm Desktop software, install the software that comes on the CD with your Treo.

We strongly recommend that you install the Palm Desktop synchronization software soon after you start using your Treo, and that you synchronize your Treo and computer frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed up) in both locations.

IMPORTANT: If you’re upgrading from another Palm Powered device, follow the upgrade steps

on page page 149 before you set up your computer for your new Treo.

•Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet. If necessary connect an adapter.

•Connect the charger to the short end of the HotSync cable. Be sure to match the

sides of the connectors labeled UP.

•Plug the USB HotSync cable into an available USB port or a powered USB hub on

your computer.

•Connect the long end of the HotSync cable to the bottom of your Treo with the

button facing up. Do not press the HotSync button until you are instructed to do so in the next step.

Installing Palm Desktop Software on Your Computer

Your computer needs to have all its resources available to install the software. Follow these guidelines for a successful installation:

•If you are installing on a computer at work, make sure your company allows you to install new software. Contact your company’s IT department for help.

•Exit any applications that are currently running on your computer, including those running in the background.

•Insert the CD that came with your Treo into the CD-ROM drive on your computer. If you are installing on a Macintosh, double-click the CD icon on the desktop, then double-click the Installer icon.

•Follow the onscreen instructions of the installation program. Click Install Synchronization Software to install the Palm Desktop software. During the installation process, you will be prompted to synchronize for the ﬁrst time.

Turning Your Phone On and Off

You can use the Palm OS features of your Treo independently of the wireless features and applications. Therefore, the screen and Wireless Mode are designed to be turned off and on separately.

Turning Wireless Mode ON

Wireless Mode connects your Treo to the PCS network so that you can make and receive phone calls and use other wireless services.

 Press and hold the Wireless Mode button to turn on Wireless Mode. (You will

hear a series of ascending tones and the phone displays “Welcome” and then “Searching for Service” until it locates a signal.) At this point, Wireless Mode is on and you’re ready to begin making and receiving calls and using the Internet features (if supported by the local network).

Turning Wireless Mode OFF

When Wireless Mode is off, your Treo is not connected to the PCS network. You can still use its other Palm OS features. This is ideal for airplane ﬂights and maximizing battery life.

 Press and hold the Wireless Mode button again to turn off Wireless Mode.

You will hear a series of descending tones and a “Goodbye.” message appears on the screen.
