Indicator Light
6Section 1A: Setting Up Software
Important:
It is vital that you use only Sprint-approved AC adapter chargers, car
chargers, and replacement batteries. Use of unauthorized accessories
could damage your device and invalidate your warranty.
Check the indicator light to make sure your Treo 650 is charging. If the battery is
fully drained, it may take a few moments for the indicator light to turn on while
charging. When your Treo 650 is connected to a power source, the indicator light
glows solid (versus flashing), and the color of the light indicates the following:
䢇 Red indicator light: battery is charging.
䢇 Green indicator light: battery is fully charged.
䢇 Indicator light off: battery is not charging. Check the cable connection and the
outlet to which it is connected.
After you set up your Treo, the onscreen battery icon displays power status:
䢇 Full battery icon : battery is charged.
䢇 Partial battery icon : battery has some power but is not fully charged.
䢇 Green lightning bolt : battery is fully charged.
Using a Sprint Charger Adapter
If the connector on your Sprint-approved 1 Amp AC charger or vehicle charger
doesn’t fit into the connector on the bottom of your Treo device, use the included
Sprint charger adapter.
Setting Up Software
Section 1A: Setting Up Software7
War nin g:
Use only with 1 Amp AC adapters distributd by Sprint for Treo 650. Using
any unapproved AC adapter may destroy the AC adapter and cause fire.
1. Plug the charger to a power source.
2. Connect the Sprint charger adapter to
the bottom of the Treo 650.
3. Connect the charger cable to the
Sprint charger adapter.
Sprint charger adapter
4. Charge your Treo 650 as described
earlier.
Battery life
Battery life depends on individual use. Consumption factors include signal
strength, speakerphone use, and whether calls are data or voice calls.
When your device’s phone is on, the Treo battery provides up to 4.5 hours of talk
time on the Sprint PCS 1900 MHz band. Talk time is slightly lower when roaming
on the cellular 800 MHz band.
If the battery drains to the point where your Treo 650 doesn’t turn on, the Treo
device stores your information safely until you recharge the battery. To avoid
draining the battery, we recommend that you charge and synchronize your
Treo 650 every day, especially if you use the wireless features of your device often.
Note:
Using your device’s phone has an effect on the battery life. You can extend the
battery life by turning off your device’s phone while using the organizer
features. In any case, regular charging is recommended for optimal
performance.
8Section 1A: Setting Up Software
Maximizing battery life
You can increase the life of your Treo 650 battery by following a few easy
guidelines. Remember that battery life depends on how you use your Treo device.
䢇 Charge your Treo 650 whenever you’re at your desk, or charge it overnight
each day. The Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery has a much longer useful life when
it is topped off frequently, rather than charging it after it is fully drained.
䢇 The wireless features of your Treo 650 (phone, email, messaging, and Web)
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 level and charge when
necessary.
䢇 If you don’t plan to use the wireless features on your Treo 650 for awhile, you
may want to turn off your device (see “Turning Your Device’s Phone On and
Off” on page 35). You can forward calls to a different number or let all calls be
picked up by voicemail (see “Call Forwarding” on page 173).
䢇 As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage,
your Treo 650 searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot
move to an area of better coverage, you may wish to temporarily turn off your
device’s phone (see “Turning Your Device’s Phone On and Off” on page 35).
䢇 Turn down the screen brightness (see “Adjusting the Brightness” on
page 147).
䢇 Decrease the Auto-off setting in Power Preferences (see “Power Preferences”
on page 155). 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 software or in Microsoft Outlook and then
efficiently transfer that information to your Sprint PCS Vision
Treo™ 650. At the same time, changes you make on the Treo 650 are transferred
to Palm Desktop or to Microsoft Outlook. Even if you manage all your contacts on
your Treo 650, synchronization is a great way to back up your information.
Before you can synchronize, you need to install the desktop synchronization
software on your computer. Even if you already own a Palm Powered™ device and
have installed a previous version, you need to install the Software Installation CD
that comes with your Treo 650.
We strongly recommend that you install the desktop synchronization software
soon after you start using your Treo 650 and that you synchronize your device and
computer frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed up) in
both locations.

Headset Specifications
Your Treo 650 uses a 2.5 mm, 3-pin headset connector. In addition to the headset
that came with your Treo, you can use other third-party headsets that are
designed for this type of connector. When in doubt, ask the third-party headset
manufacturer if their product is compatible with Treo smart devices. If you hear a
headset buzz or poor microphone performance, your headset may be
incompatible with Treo 650.
Your Treo 650 is also compatible with headsets enabled with Bluetooth 1.1
wireless technology. This includes most of the headsets currently available with
Bluetooth® wireless technology, as many of these headsets support both
Bluetooth 1.1 and 1.2 wireless technology. Check the specifications for your
headset to confirm compatibility. Please note, however, that you cannot use a
headset with Bluetooth wireless technology to listen to MP3 files.
If you want to listen to music through the headset jack in stereo, use a stereo
adapter or other accessory.
Visit
www.palm.com for more information on audio accessories and the most
current compatibility information.
Note:
The headset designed for Treo™ 180, 270 and 300 is not compatible with
Treo 650. Standard headsets sold with other Sprint phones are
compatible with Treo 650.

䢇 If you’re using a handsfree device with Bluetooth wireless technology, the
Treo 650 automatically routes all calls to that device. When a call comes in,
your Treo 650 rings and the headset beeps. However, even if you pick up the
call on your Treo, the call goes to the headset.
䢇 If a headset with Bluetooth wireless technology is paired and within range
when you place a call, the call is routed to the headset, not the handset.
78Section 2B: Using Your Device’s Phone Features
䢇 To transfer a call from a headset with Bluetooth wireless technology to your
Treo (handset) during a call, select from the Active Call view.
䢇 To set up advanced features, such as auto-answer and voice tags, go to
Applications and select Prefs . Select Handsfree, and then configure
the settings. Note that your handsfree device with Bluetooth wireless
technology must support voice tags to use that feature.
䢇 Your Treo does not support Bluetooth wireless connections to stereo headsets
or keyboards.
Creating Trusted Pairs
