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

Charging the battery

Before using your Treo 650 smartphone, you need to charge the battery. It may not turn on at all when you first remove it from the box. We recommend 4 hours for a full charge, or until the indicator light 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 smartphone. Make sure the arrow on the connector is facing up, toward the screen.

When your smartphone is connected to a power source, the indicator light glows solid (versus flashing), and the color of the light indicates the charging state.

12 :: Charging the battery

A. Indicator light

3. To confirm your smartphone is charging, check the indicator light.

• When the indicator light is solid red, your smartphone is charging.

• When the indicator light turns solid green, your smartphone is fully charged.

• If the indicator light does not turn on when you connect your smartphone to the

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

After you turn on your Treo smartphone, the onscreen battery icon 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

To see exactly how much power is left in your battery, tap the onscreen battery icon.

Charging the battery :: 13

The indicator light flashes green when your phone is on and you’re inside a coverage area. If you’re outside a coverage area, the indicator light flashes amber.

Your smartphone includes a keyboard backlight for low-light conditions. The keyboard backlight activates automatically when the screen turns on. It turns off automatically when the screen turns off and when an active call lasts longer than a minute.

You can also press any application buttons on the front of your phone to wake up the screen and go directly to the application linked to that button.

Turning the phone on and off

You can use the Palm OS® features of your Treo 650 smartphone independently of the wireless features and applications. In other words, the screen and phone are designed to be turned off and on separately.

Turning your phone on and off

When you turn on your Treo smartphone, it connects to a mobile phone network so that you can make and receive phone calls and use other wireless services.

1. Press and hold Power/End to turn on your phone. If Sound Mode is on, you’ll hear a series of ascending tones. (See “Setting the ringer switch” on page 142 for more on Sound Mode.) After your phone locates a signal, you can use the phone and Internet features (if supported by the local network).

2. Press and hold Power/End again to turn off your phone. If Sound Mode is on, you‘ll hear a series of descending tones. When your phone is off, the device is not connected to any mobile phone network. You can still use the organizer and other Palm OS features. This is ideal for airplane flights and for maximizing battery life.

Waking up the screen

To use the Palm OS features when your phone is off, you need to wake up the screen. You can also turn off your phone’s screen without turning off your phone’s wireless features.

1. Press Power/End to wake up the screen.

2. Briefly press Power/End to turn off the screen.

14 :: Turning the phone on and off

Making your first call

Once your phone is activated, you can make your first call. We recommend that you charge your Treo 650 smartphone for a full 4 hours (or until the indicator light is solid green) before using it for the first time.

1. Press and hold Power/End . You will hear a series of ascending tones.

2. Allow the smartphone to complete a network search. The search may take several seconds. When it is complete, the Network Status icon appears in the upper-right corner of the screen.

3. Using the number pad on the keyboard, enter the desired phone number.

4. Press Phone/Send to dial.

5. When your call is complete, press Power/End or use the 5-way navigator to select Hang Up.

If No Service appears in the upper left or if you are unable to complete a call, you may need to activate your phone. Contact your wireless service provider for assistance.

We recommend that you charge your Treo 650 smartphone for a full 4 hours (or until the indicator light is solid green) before using it for the first time.

To quickly redial your most recent call, press and hold the Phone/Send button to display the redial list.

• When an onscreen button (OK, Cancel, etc.) or pick list is highlighted, the button or pick list item acquires a glow around its border.

• When a phone number, email address, or web link is highlighted on a web page or in a message, the text appears in reverse type (light text on a dark background).

• When an entire text entry field is highlighted, you can press Center to edit the text. After you edit the text, press Center again to highlight the entire field.

Once you’ve opened an application (see “Opening applications” on page 26), you can experiment with using the 5-way to highlight different screen elements.

Moving around the screen :: 19

You can also use the stylus to highlight text on the screen. When text is highlighted, it appears in reverse type.

• Drag the stylus across the text you want to highlight.

• Double-tap a word to highlight it.

Selecting or activating items

After highlighting an item with the 5-way, you can select or activate it by pressing Center. You can also select an item by tapping it with the stylus.

20 :: Moving around the screen

Selecting menu items

Many applications have menus to provide access to additional features. These menus are usually hidden from view, but they appear when you open the Menus . To get the most out of your Treo smartphone, it’s a good idea to familiarize yourself with the additional features available through the various application menus.

1. Open the Menus to display an application’s menus.

2. Press Right and Left to switch between menus.

3. Press Up and Down to highlight a menu item.

4. Press Center to select the menu item, or press Menu to close the menu and cancel your selection.

Selecting options in a pick list

A range of options is often presented in a type of menu called a pick list, which can be identified by a downward-pointing arrow. Pick lists are different from the application menus described above.

• Use the 5-way to highlight the pick list, and then press Center to display the items in the list. Press Up and Down to highlight the item you want, and then press

Center to accept your selection.

• To exit the pick list and cancel your selection, press Left or Right .

• Use your stylus to tap the pick list, and then tap the item you want from the list.

Most menu items have menu shortcuts listed in the menu. To use a menu shortcut, press Menu plus the shortcut letter. You don’t have to see the menu item to use the menu shortcut.

Palm Powered

device” on page 160 before you set up your computer for your new Treo smartphone.

If you want to synchronize your information with another desktop software program, contact the software developer to obtain a conduit if one is available.

Setting up your computer

Synchronization lets you enter information on your computer (using Palm®Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook for Windows) and then efficiently transfer that info to your Treo 650 smartphone. At the same time, changes you make on your smartphone are transferred to Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook. Even if you manage all your contacts on your smartphone, synchronization is a great way to back up your info.

Before you can synchronize, you need to install the desktop synchronization software on your computer. Even if you already own a Palm Powered have installed a previous version, you must install the software that came with your Treo smartphone on the palmOne Software Installation CD.

System requirements

Your computer should meet the following minimum system profiles for Windows or Mac computers.

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 the desktop synchronization software on your computer

Your computer needs to have all 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 palmOne Software Installation CD into the CD drive on your computer. If you are installing on a Mac, double-click the CD icon on the desktop, and then double-click the palmOneSoftware.pkg icon.

3. Follow the onscreen instructions of the installation program. Please note these important points about the installation process:

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

on your Treo smartphone.

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

first time. See the next section for details.

30 :: Setting up your computer

Synchronizing contacts and other information

Synchronizing means that information that is entered or updated in one place (your phone or your computer) is automatically updated in the other—no need to enter information twice. We strongly recommend that you synchronize your Treo smartphone with your computer or corporate server frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed up) in both locations.

Synchronizing with the Palm Desktop software

Before you can synchronize your contacts and other personal information, you must install the Palm Desktop software from the CD that came with your Treo smartphone. See “Installing the desktop synchronization software on your computer” on page 30 for instructions.

If you use the default settings, information from all the following applications is

transferred each time you synchronize your phone with your computer:

If you choose to synchronize your phone with Outlook, information from Contacts,

Calendar, Tasks, and Memos is updated in your computer. You can also set up the VersaMail

updated in Palm Desktop software.

Synchronizing contacts and other information :: 31

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

If you installed Palm Desktop software, the HotSync Manager icon

should appear in

the lower-right corner of your computer screen.

Your contacts, tasks, and memos sync with Palm Desktop software or Microsoft Outlook, depending on which desktop application you use.

You can also synchronize your information with desktop applications and corporate enterprise servers. See “Sending and receiving email” on page 65 for more information.

32 :: Synchronizing contacts and other information

3. Wait for a message indicating that the process is complete.

• If nothing happens, make sure that you installed the desktop synchronization

software from the palmOne Software Installation CD that came with your Treo smartphone, and that it is running on your computer.

• If you want to synchronize information with applications other than

Palm Desktop or Microsoft Outlook, you need to purchase additional third-party conduit software.

• If you have any problems synchronizing, see “Synchronization” on page 176 for

troubleshooting suggestions.

Battery life

Battery life depends on usage. When used as a phone, your Treo smartphone battery provides up to 5 hours of talk time or up to 300 hours of standby time.

Maximizing battery life

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

• Charge your smartphone whenever you’re at your desk, or charge it overnight. The Li-Ion battery in your smartphone 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, SMS, and web) of your smartphone generally consume more power than its organizer features. However, if you spend a lot of time using the camera (if included), games, media players, eBooks, or other Palm OS applications, keep an eye on the battery icon and charge when necessary.

• If you don’t plan to use the wireless features on your smartphone for a while, you may want to turn off your phone (see “Turning your phone on and off” on page 14). You can let all calls be picked up by voicemail.

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

• Turn down the screen brightness (see “Adjusting the brightness” on page 143).

• Decrease the Auto-off setting in Power Preferences (see “Power Preferences” on page 150). This turns off your screen automatically after a shorter period of inactivity.

• Turn off the Bluetooth “Connecting to devices with Bluetooth® wireless technology.”

wireless technology if it is not being used. See

IMPORTANT: You must charge your smartphone fully before using it the first time. Wait until the indicator light turns solid green, which may take up to 4 hours.

If the battery drains to the point where your smartphone doesn’t turn on, the device stores your info safely until you recharge the battery. To avoid draining the battery, charge and synchronize your smartphone every day, especially if you use your phone often.

If the battery is fully drained, it may take a few moments for the indicator light to turn on while charging.
