Turning your Manhattan on and off
Your Manhattan is both a handheld computer and a radio for wireless
communications. You can turn the handheld and the radio on and off
independently of each other. When you turn on the handheld, you can use
the various applications while the radio is off. However, to make or receive
a call, you need to turn on the radio.
Turning the handheld on and off
Do any of the following:
■ Open the lid to turn it on, or close the lid to turn it off.
■ Press and release the power button.
Turning the radio on and off
■ Hold down the power button until you hear the confirmation tones to
turn the radio (and other wireless features) on and off. The ascending
tone indicates the radio is on and the descending tone indicates the
radio is off.
4 Getting Up and Running
Charging the Battery
Your handheld battery provides approximately 2 hours of talk time or 72
hours of standby time. If the battery drains to the reserve level, you can still
use your handheld applications for about 1 day, but there is not enough
power to use the phone and other wireless features.
It takes approximately 1 hour to charge a fully drained battery. To charge
the battery do one of the following:
■ When you’re near your computer, connect your handheld to the
HotSync
shown on page 27.
■ When travelling, connect the AC adapter cable directly to your
handheld as shown here.

Synchronizing Data with Your Computer
You can use the Palm Desktop software and your HotSync cable to
exchange data between your handheld 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 handheld is copied to your
computer and vice versa. This backs up your data and is strongly advised.
Before you perform a HotSync operation, you need to install the Palm
Desktop software from the Handspring CD and connect the HotSync cable
to your computer. You can connect the USB cable that comes with your
handheld, or you can purchase a serial cable at www.handspring.com. See
“Computer system requirements” below.

Upgrading from a Palm OS handheld
1. Synchronize your old handheld with your old desktop software.
2. Install your new Palm™ Desktop software from your Handspring CD.

select the user name for your old handheld when prompted.
4. If any third party applications do not get installed, beam them from your
old handheld to your Manhattan, or install them from the original files.
Tip: After you upgrade you have two handhelds with the same user
name. Since each handheld must have a unique name, perform a
hard reset on your old handheld to remove the user name and
avoid problems synchronizing with that device. The next time
you synchronize that device, be sure to assign it a new name.
Installing the Palm Desktop software
1. Insert the Handspring CD in the CD-ROM drive on your computer.
2. When the installation screen appears, follow the onscreen instructions
to begin the installation.
3. When prompted to connect the cable to your computer, follow the
instructions on page 27 in this guide.

your phone number. It is included with your service provider’s
documentation and is often referred to as a “smartcard.”
1. Remove the SIM door.
2. With the contacts face-up, align the notch on the SIM card with the
notch on the door and insert the SIM card into the slot on the door.
