NOTE If you’re setting up your first Palm

device, skip this section.

You can transfer all compatible apps and info from your previous Palm OS device to your new Palm Centro smartphone. This includes your calendar events, contacts, memos, and tasks, as well as your app settings, any compatible third-party apps, and any files that are compatible with the Palm OS software version 6x on your new Centro smartphone.

Incompatible files are quarantined. Quarantined files are not installed on your smartphone; they are placed in a new folder on your computer: C:\Program Files\Palm\device name\PalmOS5 Incompatible Apps. (On some systems Palm may be replaced with palmOne or Handspring.)

NOTE We do not recommend using

third-party utilities that back up your old device’s information onto a microSD expansion card and then transfer the info to your smartphone. Such methods transfer all applications to your smartphone, including those that are not designed to work with Palm OS version 6x.

and info occupy on your previous Palm OS device:

• Press Applications .

• Press Menu .

• Select Info on the App menu.

• At the bottom of the screen, select

Connecting with Bluetooth® devices

With the built-in Bluetooth wireless technology on your smartphone, you can connect to a number of Bluetooth devices, including a hands-free device such as a headset or car kit, a printer, or a GPS receiver, as well as to other smartphones and handhelds that are equipped with Bluetooth wireless technology. If your computer is enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology, you can also synchronize wirelessly or use your phone to connect your computer to the Internet.

You can create a list of Bluetooth devices that you trust to communicate with your smartphone. When communicating with trusted devices, your smartphone skips the discovery process and creates a secure link as long as the device is within range. Bluetooth range is up to 30 feet (10 meters), depending on environmental conditions, including obstacles, radio interference from nearby electronic equipment, and other factors.

When you configure a hands-free device, as described in“Connecting with Bluetooth

devices” on page 61, the hands-free device automatically appears in your Trusted Devices list. Follow the steps in this section to add other devices to your Trusted Devices list, such as a friend’s handheld.

Static Electricity, ESD, and Your Palm® Device

Electrostatic discharge (ESD) can cause damag e to electronic devices if discharged into the device, so you should take steps to avoid such an occurrence.

Description of ESD Static electricity is an electrical charge caused by the buildup of excess electrons on the surface of a material. To most people, static electricity and ESD are nothing more than annoyances. For example, after walking over a carpet while scuffing

IMPORTANT SAFETY AND LEGAL INFORMATION

your feet, building up electrons on your body, you may get a shock— the discharge event—when you touch a metal doorknob. This little shock discharges the built-up static electricity.

ESD-susceptible equipment Even a small amount of ESD can harm circuitry, so when working with electronic devices, take measures to help protect your electronic devices, including your Palm from ESD harm. While Palm has built protections against ESD into its products, ESD unfortunately exists and, unless neutralized, could build up to levels that could harm your equipment. Any electronic device that contains an external entry point for pluggin g in anything from cables to docking stations is susceptible to entry of ESD. Devices that you carry with you, such as your smartphone, build up ESD in a unique way because the static electricity that may have built up on your body is automatically passed to the device. Then, when the device is connected to another device such as a docking station, a discharge event can occur.

Precautions against ESD Make sure to discharge any built-up static electricity from yourself and your electronic devices before touching an electronic device or connecting one device to another. The recommendation from Palm is that you take this precaution before connecting your device to your computer, placing the device in a cradle, or connecting it to any other device. You can do this in many ways, including the following:

• Ground yourself when you’re holding your mobile device by simultaneously touching a metal surface that is at earth ground. For example, if your computer has a metal case and is plugged into a standard three-prong grounded outlet, touching the case should discharge the ESD on your body.

• Increase the relative humidity of your environment.

• Install ESD-specific prevention items, such as grounding mats.

Conditions that enhance ESD occurrences Conditions that can contribute to the buildup of static electricity in the environment include the following:

• Low relative humidity.

• Material type. (The type of material gathering the charge. For example, synthetics are more prone to st atic buildup than natural fibers like cotton.)

device,

• The rapidity with which you touch, connect, or disconnect electronic devices.

While you should always take appropriate precautions to discharge static electricity, if you are in an environment where you notice ESD events, you may want to take extra precautions to protect your electronic equipment against ESD.

Battery safety information

• Do not disassemble or open, crush, bend or deform, puncture or shred.

• Do not modify or remanufacture, attempt to insert foreign objects into the battery, immerse or expose to water or other liquids, expose to fire, explosion or other hazard.

• Only use the battery for the system for which it is specified.

• Only use the battery with a charging system that has been qualified with the system per this standard. Use of an unqualified battery or charger may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage, or other hazard.

• Do not short circuit a battery or allow metal lic conductive objects to contact battery terminals.

• Replace the battery only with another battery that has been qualified with the system per this standard, IEEE-Std-1725-200x. Use of an unqualified battery may present a risk of fire, explosion, leakage or other hazard.

• Promptly dispose of used batteries in accordance with local regulations.

• Battery usage by children should be supervised.

• Avoid dropping the phone or battery. If the phone or battery is dropped, especially on a hard surface, and the user suspects damage, take it to a service center for inspection.

• Improper battery use may result in a fire, explosion or other hazard.

IMPORTANT SAFETY AND LEGAL INFORMATION

Precaution against hearing loss

Protect your hearing. Listening to thi s device at full volume for a long period of time can damage your hearing.

Précautions d'usage de votre téléphone mobile

Le taux de DAS(1) (Débit d’Absorption Spécifique) de votre Palm Centro smartphone est 0,896 w/kg

Conseils d'utilisation pour réduire le niveau d'exposition aux rayonnements: Utiliser le plus souvent possible les kits piétons

(oreillettes), notamment en cas d'usage fréquent ou prolongé du téléphone mobile Ils apportent en outre un plus grand confort d’utilisation.

Eloigner le téléphone mobile de certaines zones sensibles telles que le ventre chez les femmes enceintes ou le bas-ventre chez les adolescents, plus particulièrement lors d’une communication.

Utiliser votre téléphone mobile dans de bonnes conditions de réception. Celle-ci est indiquée sur l’écran de votre téléphone par la

matérialisation de barrettes. 3 ou 4 barrettes, la réception est de bonne qualité pour passer vos communications. Ce n'est pas toujours le cas dans certaines zones ou situations, notamment les parking souterrains, les ascenseurs, en train ou en voiture ou tout simplement dans un secteur mal couvert par le réseau.

Mesures touchant à la sécurité: Dans certains lieux ou situations, tels que les avions, les hôpitaux, les stations-service et les garages professionnels, l'usage du téléphone est interdit. Il es t donc impératif de respecter strictement les consignes de sécurité propres à chacune de ces situations et d’éteindre votre téléphone lorsque cela est requis.

Par ailleurs pour éviter les risques d’interférences, les personnes porteuses d’implants électroniques (stimulateurs cardiaques, pompes à insuline, neurostimulateurs.) doivent conserver une distance de 15 cm entre le mobile et l’implant et ne l’utiliser que du côté opposé au côté où celui-ci est situé.

Téléphoner en conduisant, même avec des équipements qui ne sont pas interdits par la réglementation, est dangereux car il augmente potentiellement le risque d’accident provenant de la distraction créée par la conversation elle même. Aussi, est-il recommandé de ne jamais téléphoner en conduisant et de considérer que l’utilisation d’un kit mains-libres n’est pas une solution.

(1) Valeur DAS la plus élevée pour ce modèle de téléphone et pour une utilisation à l’oreille, communiquée par le constructeur. Le DAS, exprimé en w/kg, quantifie le niveau d’exposition aux ondes électromagnétiques et permet de vérifier la conformité des mobil es à la réglementation française et européenne qui impose que celui-ci soit inférieur à 2w/kg.
