To use your phone, you must agree to
Palm’s terms and conditions and create
a Palm profile. Be sure to write down the
valid email address and the password that
you use to create your profile; you will
need them later.

Benefits of a Palm profile include software
updates, daily backup of info associated
with your profile, and remote erase of your
info should your phone be lost or stolen.

NOTE: Do you have a Palm profile from
a phone that you no longer use? During
setup, just sign in to your existing profile
when prompted. All info associated with
your profile is downloaded to your new
phone. If you are still using your other
phone, however, you should create a new
profile for your new phone—you can’t use
the same profile on two phones at the
same time.

To wirelessly sync Contacts and Calendar
info, set up online accounts with providers
like Google and Microsoft Exchange.

If you don’t already have an account with
a service provider, you must create one
before you set up the account on your
phone. For example:

• Google: Go to gmail.com.

• Exchange: Check with your company’s

IT department.

For the full list of available online sync
accounts, see the online accounts table
at the back of the User Guide.

After you create an online account, set the
account on your phone. See p. 7.

A sync relationship you set up in one app
is automatically set up in other apps. For
example, by setting up a Gmail email
account, your phone is also set to sync
Google Contacts, Calendar, and IM.

The first time you open Contacts, Calendar,
and Messaging, you see a setup screen
that appears only once:

Tap Add an Account > tap an account >
enter username and password > Sign In.

Just want to jump to your contacts or
calendar, or send a message? Tap

Done .
Email: See p. 15.

Later, set up accounts this way: Open
the menu by tapping the app name in the
upper-left corner of the screen > Preferences
& Accounts > Add An Account.

Your Palm profile also has an account
associated with it. You can use it for
Contacts and Calendar info, and for other
kinds of info, like Memos. This info is backed
up daily on Palm’s servers, but you can
access it only on your phone.

On your computer, look for an email from
Palm at the address you used to create
your Palm profile. Click the link that takes
you to a website (palm.com/migrate-pre)
about your data transfer options.

What kinds of info can I transfer?

Contacts, calendar info, tasks, and
memos/notes.

Where can I export info from?

®

• Windows: Palm

Standalone Outlook

Desktop v.6.2.

®

2003 (XP only)
or 2007. You cannot export info from
Outlook if you sync Outlook with an
Exchange server.

• Mac: iCal and Address Book.

Where do I transfer the info to?

On your phone, pick the account—for
example, your Google, Exchange, or Palm
profile account—to receive the info you
exported. We recommend that you
transfer your info to an online account
that syncs (see pp. 6–7). For other
solutions, see palm.com/sync-solutions.

The Palm® Synergy™ feature displays data
from several sources in a single view on
your phone, but keeps the sources of your
data separate.

Let’s say you use Google Calendar for your
personal appointments and your company’s
Outlook Calendar for business appointments.
Your phone’s Calendar application can
display appointments from both calendars
in a single view.

Likewise, if you set up multiple email
accounts, the Email application lets you
display the messages from all your account
inboxes in a single view.

And in Messaging, all your messages
with the same person show up in a single
conversation view, whether they are text,
multimedia, or instant messages.

The Contacts application also offers a
merged view—all your contacts from all
your accounts appear in a single list. But
more than that, Contacts lets you see all
your information for a person in a single
view—even if that information comes
from multiple sources.

For example, let’s say you have a work
contact in Exchange and a personal
contact for the same person in Google
contacts. Contacts recognizes the similarity
and automatically links the two contacts
so that you can see all the information in
one place. You can also manually link and
unlink contacts.

If you do not act on a notification after a
