Battery life

Battery life depends on individual use. Consumption factors include signal strength, backlight and speakerphone use, and whether calls are data or voice calls.

When Wireless Mode is on, the Treo battery provides approximately 4 hours of talk time or approximately 10 days of standby time on the PCS, 1900 MHz band. Talk time is slightly lower when roaming on the cellular 800Mhz band. When Wireless Mode is off, the battery provides about 4 weeks of normal use.

If the battery drains to the point where your Treo doesn’t turn on, the Treo stores your data safely for about 3 days. We recommend that you charge and synchronize your Treo every day, especially if you use your phone often.

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 Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery has a much longer useful life when it is topped off frequently, versus charging it after it is fully drained.

• The wireless features of your Treo (phone, email, messaging, and Web) 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 27). You can forward calls to a different number or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see page 56).

• 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 34) only when you need it. Turn down the screen brightness (see page 128).

• Decrease the Auto-off setting in General Preferences (see page 136). This turns off your screen automatically after a shorter period of inactivity.

Preparing Your Computer

Synchronization allows you to enter information on your computer in an application called Palm Desktop or in Microsoft transfer that information to your Treo. At the same time, changes you make on the Treo are transferred to Palm Desktop software or to 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 of the Palm Desktop software, install the software that comes on the CD with your Treo.

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.
