Charging the battery

Before using your Treo, you need to fully charge the battery. Your phone may not turn on at all when you first remove it from the box. We recommend that you charge your phone for three hours or until the LED is solid green.

1. Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet.

2. Connect the charger cable to the bottom of the Treo with the word UP facing in the same direction as your Treo screen.

A. LED

3. To confirm that your Treo is charging, check the LED.

• When the LED is solid red, your Treo is charging.

• When the LED turns solid green, your Treo is fully charged.

• If the LED does not light up when you connect your Treo to the charger, double-

check the cable connection and the electrical outlet to which it is connected.

Battery consumption varies based on your personal usage. Consumption factors include signal strength, backlight and speakerphone usage, and whether calls are data or voice calls.

Charging the battery :: 11

After you turn on your Treo, the onscreen battery gauge displays power status:

• Full battery icon : Battery is charged

• Partial battery icon : Battery has some power and is not charging

• Empty battery icon : Battery needs charging immediately

• R ed lightning bolt : Battery is charging

IMPORTANT: If you’re upgrading from another Palm Powered device, follow the upgrade steps on page138 before you set up your computer for your new Treo.

If you are synchronizing with a computer that is running Windows NT 4, you must use a serial HotSync cable, available for separate purchase at www.palmOne.com.

Setting up your computer

Synchronization lets you enter information on your computer (using Palm® Desktop or Microsoft Outlook for Windows) and then efficiently transfer that information to your T reo. A t the same time, c hanges you make on your Treo are transferred to Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook. Even if you manage all your contacts on your Treo, synchronization is a great way to back up your data.

Before you can synchronize, you need to install Palm Desktop software on your computer. Even if you already own a Palm Powered™ device and have installed a previous version, you must install the software that comes with your Treo.

Setting up your computer :: 29

If you are installing on a computer at work, make sure your company allows you to install new software. Contact your company’s IT department for help.

Installing Palm De sk top s oftware on your comput er

Your computer needs all of its resources available to install the desktop synchronization software. Follow these guidelines for a successful installation:

1. Exit any applications that are currently running on your computer, including those running in the background.

2. Insert the CD that came with your Treo into the CD-ROM drive on your computer. I f you are installing on a Macintosh, double-click the CD icon on the desktop, then double-click the Installer icon.

3. Follow the onscreen instructions of the installation program. Click Install Now to install Palm Desktop software. Please note these important points about the installation process:

• If a language selection screen appears, choose the same language you use on

your Treo.

• During the installation process, you will be prompted to synchronize for the first

time.

30 :: Setting up your computer

Synchronizing contacts and other personal data

Before you can synchronize your contacts and other personal data, you must install Palm Desktop software from the CD that came with your Treo. See page 30 for instructions.

1. Connect your Treo to your computer as described on page29.

2. Press the HotSync button on the cable.

3. Wait for your Treo to display a message indicating that the process is complete.

• If nothing happens, make sure that you installed Palm Desktop software and that the HotSync Manager application is running on your computer ( ).

• If you want to synchronize data with applications other than Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook, you need to purc hase additi onal t hird-pa rty c onduit s oftware.

• If you have any problems performing a HotSync operation, see page 147 for troubleshooting suggestions.

A. HotSync button

Synchronizing contacts and other personal data :: 31

We strongly recommend that you install Palm Desktop software soon after you start using your Treo, and that you synchronize your Treo and computer frequently to keep your information upto-date (and backed up) in both locations.

Battery life

We recommend that you charge your Treo for a full three hours, or until the LED turns solid green, before using it for the first time.

If the battery is fully drained, and your Treo doesn’t turn on, the T r eo stores your data safely for about three days. We recommend that you charge and synchronize your Treo every day, especially if you use your phone often.

If the battery is fully drained, it may take a few moments for the LED to light up while charging.

Battery life depends on individual usage. When used as a phone, your Treo battery provides approximately 4 hours of talk time or 10 days of standby time on the 1900 MHz band. Talk time is slightly lower when operating on the cellular 800 MHz band. When used as an organizer only (no phone), the battery provides about 4 weeks of normal use.

32 :: Battery life

Maximizing battery life

You can increase the life of your Treo battery by following a few easy guidelines. Remember that battery life depends on how you use your Treo.

• Charge your Treo whenever you’re at yo ur d es k. The Li-Ion ba ttery in y o ur Treo has a much longer useful li fe when it is topped off frequently, versus charging it after it is fully drained.

• The wireless features (phone, email, messaging, and web) of your Treo generally consume more power than its organizer features. However, if you spend a lot of time using games, media players, eBooks, or other Palm OS applications, keep an eye on the battery level and charge when necessary.

• If you don’t plan to use t he wire less features on your T re o for a whi le, y ou may wa nt to turn off Wireless Mode (see page13) or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see page 41), if your service plan includes voicemail fe atures.

• As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage, your Treo continuously searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot move to an area of better coverage, tempora rily turn off W ire less Mode to conserve battery power.

• Use the keyboard backlight (see page 23) only when you need it.

• Turn down the screen brightness (see page 121).

• Decrease the Auto-off setting in General Preferences (see page 128). This turns off your screen automatically after a shorter period of inactivity.
