CHAPTER 1
Exploring Your Handheld
Whether you’re at work, at home, or on the go, you’ll quickly understand why handhelds are also called personal digital assistants (PDAs). Like a good personal assistant, your handheld helps you keep track of your schedule, your business and personal contacts, your to-do list, your memos, even your photos and videos.
Handhelds are for fun, too. You can take pictures and create digital photo albums, play games, and read eBooks. Insert expansion cards (sold separately) to listen to music, to capture videos, or to enjoy useful reference software and more.
Benefits of your Zire™ 72 handheld
• Take photos and capture videos with the built-in camera
• Play music
• Stay in touch with wireless connectivity

Handheld do’s and don’ts
To protect your handheld from damage and ensure reliable performance, follow these guidelines.
Handheld do’s

accidentally dropped.
• Use only the stylus to tap the screen—no pens, pencils, paper clips, or other sharp objects.
• Use only the supplied power adapter to charge your handheld.
• Keep the battery charged
.
• Keep the screen free of dust (or anything else that could make it dirty).
• For general cleaning, use a soft, damp cloth. If the screen becomes dirty, use a soft cloth
moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.
• Use only 3.5 mm stereo headphones in your handheld’s headphone jack.
•Be sure to get rid of any static electr icity buildup

or accessory.

Synchronizing Your Handheld with Your Computer
Maybe you only think to use your handheld on its own to look up phone numbers, enter appointments, and so on. But you can do much more with your handheld if you synchronize it with your computer.
Synchronizing simply means that information that has been entered or updated in one place (your handheld or your computer) is automatically updated in the other. No need to enter information twice.
Benefits of synchronizing
• Quickly enter and update information on your computer and your handheld
• Install applications
• Protect your information
• Send photos and videos from your handheld to your desktop computer

CHAPTER 2 Synchronizing Your Handheld with Your Computer

Why synchronize information?
Quickly enter and update in formation on your computer and handheld. Synchronizing updates information both on your handheld and in Palm
® Desktop software on your computer. For example, you can quickly enter a contact list on your computer and then send it to your handheld instead of re-entering the information.
During CD installation, you can choose to synchronize your handheld with Microsoft Outlook on your computer (Windows only). If you do, information from Contacts, Calendar, T a sks, and Memos is synchronized with Outlook. Other information, such as photos, videos, voice memos, and notes, is synchronized with Palm Desktop software. Y ou ca n insert the CD at any time to choose synchronization with Outlook if you did not do so during the initial installation.
Install applications. With just a few clicks, you can use palmOne™ Quick Install
to add files to
certain applications on your handheld or to install additional software. Protect your information. Nothing is worse than losing important information. When you
synchronize information, you create a backup copy. If something happens to your handheld or your computer, the information is not lost; one tap restores it in both places.
Be sure to synchronize information at least once a day so that you always have
an up-to-date backup copy of important information.
Tip
Synchronize Microsoft Word or Excel files from your computer and open them in the Documents to Go application on your handheld to view and edit them at your convenience.
