Turning Your Treo On and Off

Your Treo communicator has two operating modes: a handheld mode and a wireless mode. You can turn the handheld mode and the wireless mode on and off independently of each other. When you turn on the handheld mode, you can use organizer applications such as Date Book Plus and To Do List. When you turn on the wireless mode, you can make or receive calls. You can also turn both modes on at the same time. When both the handheld and wireless modes are on, you can use the organizer applications as well as make and receive calls.

■ Open the lid to turn it on, or close the lid to turn it off.

■ Press and release the power button to turn it on and off.

Tip: Handheld mode turns off automatically after a period of inactivity based on a

setting in your Treo’s General Preferences. See page 25 for details.

Charging the Battery

When wireless mode is on, your communicator battery provides approximately 3 hours of talk time or 150 hours of standby time. When wireless mode is off, the battery provides about 1 week of normal use in handheld mode.

It takes about 2 hours to charge a fully drained battery. If the battery drains to the point where your communicator doesn’t turn on, it stores your data safely for about 3 days. We recommend that you charge your communicator every day, especially if you use your phone often.

To charge the battery do one of the following:

■ When you’re near your computer, connect your communicator to the HotSync

with the travel charger connected to a wall outlet as shown on page 29.

■ When travelling, connect the travel charger cable directly to your communicator as

shown here.

LED

Tip: T he LED is solid red while your communicator charges. When the LED turns solid

green, your communicator is charged. If the LED does not turn on, make sure the travel charger cable is connected to a wall outlet and that the cable is securely connected to your communicator.
