How to Use This Guide
Welcome — you’ve made the right choice
The advantages of PCS are as clear as each call you make. With PCS, we give you what you really

We know you’re eager to start using your phone right away and this guide is divided into two
sections that are designed to help you do just that.
The first section will guide you through the steps required to set up your PCS Service. It

your service plan and your first invoice.
The second section will guide you through the basics of your phone and service, with quick,
easy-to-follow instructions. And if you want to know more, just visit us online at

Install Synchronization Software
and User Guide
The synchronization features of Palm Desktop software and your HotSync cable enable you
to exchange data between your PCS Treo 300 and your computer. This process is called a
HotSync operation. Each time you perform a HotSync operation, any information you
entered or changed on your PCS Treo 300 is copied to your computer and vice versa. This
backs up your data and is strongly advised. Before you perform a HotSync operation, you
must connect the HotSync cable to your computer (as described in Step 1) and install the
Palm Desktop software from the PCS Vision CD.
