IMPORTANT: Treo’s speaker includes a large magnet, so be sure not to store your Treo near credit cards or other items that could be demagnetized.

Charging the battery

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

1. Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet. If necessary, connect an adapter.

2. Connect the charger cable to the bottom of the Treo with the word UP

facing the same way as your Treo screen.

A. LED

3. To conﬁrm 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 turn on when you connect your Treo to the

charger, double-check the cable connection and the electrical outlet to which it is connected.

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

• Red lightning bolt : Charging

• Green lightning bolt with full battery : Fully charged

12 :: Charging the battery

Inserting the SIM card

Your Subscriber Identity Module (SIM) card contains account information such as your phone number and voicemail access number. To use the phone, email, or web features of your Treo, you need to insert the SIM card. If a SIM card did not come with your Treo, your mobile service provider will give you one when you subscribe. If you have an older, 5-volt SIM card, you should request a newer, 3-volt SIM. This Treo is not compatible with older 5-volt SIM cards.

A. SIM tray B. SIM card C. Notches D. SIM slot

1. Slide the SIM tray out of the Treo.

2. Insert the SIM card into the SIM tray by aligning the notches until you feel it lock into place.

3. Slide the SIM tray back into the Treo.

4. If your SIM card is not already activated, follow the activation steps provided by your mobile service provider or contact them directly for assistance. If you want to use email, web browsing, and MMS, be sure to conﬁrm that your SIM card is activated for data services.

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.

Your mobile service provider may already have inserted the SIM card into your Treo. In that case, skip to page 14.

To remove the SIM card, pull the SIM tray out of the slot and remove the card from the tray.

Inserting the SIM card :: 13

Making your ﬁrst call

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

1. Press and hold the Wireless Mode button . You will hear a series of ascending tones.

2. If a Welcome screen appears, follow the onscreen instructions to set up your Treo.

3. Allow the Treo to complete a network search. The search may take several seconds. When it is complete, the network status icon appears in the upper right.

4. If prompted for a PIN, enter it on the PIN screen. The default PIN is often 1234. Otherwise, your mobile service provider may have given you some documentation with this information. Contact your mobile service provider for help.

5. Press Phone .

6. Using the number pad on the Treo keyboard, type the desired phone number.

7. Press Center to dial.

8. When your call is complete, use the 5-way navigation control to choose Hang Up.

Turning Treo on and off

You can use the Palm OS features of your Treo independently of the wireless features and applications. Therefore, the screen and Wireless Mode are designed to be turned off and on separately.

Turning the screen on and off

1. Press the Screen button to turn on the screen.

2. Brieﬂy press the Screen button to turn off the screen.

Turning Wireless Mode on and off

Wireless Mode allows your Treo to connect to a mobile network so that you can make and receive phone calls and use other wireless services.

1. Press and hold the Wireless Mode button to turn on Wireless Mode. You will hear a series of ascending tones. When Wireless Mode is on, your Treo connects to a mobile network, and you can use the phone and Internet features (if supported by the local network).

2. Press and hold the Wireless Mode button again to turn off Wireless Mode. You will hear a series of descending tones. When Wireless Mode is off, your Treo does not have a connection to any mobile network. You can still use the organizer and other Palm OS features. This is ideal for airplane ﬂights and for maximizing battery life.

14 :: Turning Treo on and off

Treo includes a keyboard backlight for nighttime use. The keyboard backlight activates automatically when the screen turns on, but shuts off if the keyboard is not in use. When the screen is on, press Option then the P key to manually activate the keyboard backlight.

Making your ﬁrst call :: 15

If No Service appears in the upper left, you are out of a wireless coverage area. If you believe you are in a wireless coverage area and this problem persists, contact your mobile service provider for assistance.

If the Welcome screen does not appear, recalibrate the touchscreen. This ensures that the screen responds accurately to taps (see page 133).

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 Treo. At the same time, changes you make on the 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 the Palm Desktop synchronization 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 on the CD with your Treo.

Installing the Palm Desktop synchronization software on your computer

Your computer needs to have all its resources available to install the 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. If 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 the Palm Desktop software. Please note these important points about the installation process:

• If a language selection screen appears, click the same language you use on your Treo.

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

Connecting your Treo to your computer

1. Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet. If necessary connect an adapter.

2. Connect the charger to the short end of the HotSync cable. Be sure to match the sides of the connectors labeled UP.

3. Plug the USB HotSync cable into an available USB port on your computer.

4. Connect the long end of the HotSync cable to the bottom of your Treo with the button facing up.

Setting up your computer

For best performance, plug your USB synchronization cable directly into a USB port on your computer. If you use a USB hub, make sure it is a powered hub.

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.

Battery life :: 31

Battery life

Battery life depends on individual usage. When used as a phone, your Treo battery provides approximately 6 hours of talk time or 10 days of standby time. When used as an organizer only (no phone), the battery provides about 10 days of normal use.

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 your desk. The Li-Ion battery in your Treo has a much longer useful life 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 the camera, 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 the wireless features on your Treo for a while, you may want to turn off Wireless Mode (see page 14). You can forward calls to a different number or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see page 45).

• As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage, your Treo searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot move to an area of better coverage, you may wish to temporarily turn off Wireless Mode.

• Use the keyboard backlight (see page 22) only when you need it.

• Turn down the screen brightness (see page 114).

• Decrease the Auto-off setting in General Preferences (see page 120).

This turns off your screen automatically after a shorter period of inactivity.

Synchronizing contacts and other personal data

Before you can synchronize your contacts and other personal data, you must install the Palm Desktop software from the CD that came with your Treo. See page 29 for instructions.

1. Connect your Treo to your computer as described on page 26.

2. Press the HotSync button on the cable.

A. HotSync button

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

• If nothing happens, make sure that you installed the 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 purchase additional thirdparty conduit software.

• If you have any problems performing a HotSync operation, see pages 137-139 for troubleshooting suggestions.

IMPORTANT: You must charge your Treo fully before using it the ﬁrst time. Wait until the LED turns solid green which may take up to three hours.

If the battery drains to the point where your Treo doesn’t turn on, the Treo 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 turn on while charging.

30 :: Synchronizing contacts and other personal data

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