Turning Your Device On and Off
Note:
You can turn on your device screen and your phone independently. For example, the device
screen can be off while the phone is on, or the device screen can be on while the phone is
off. You can also have both the device screen and the phone turned on or off at the same
time.
Throughout this guide the term device is used to describe your Treo smart
device and its physical aspects. The term phone is used to describe the
feature of your smart device that enables you to connect to the Nationwide
Sprint PCS Network.

Turning Your Device’s Phone On and Off
When your phone is on, it is connected to the Nationwide Sprint PCS Network (provided
you are in a coverage area) so that you can make and receive phone calls and use wireless
services, such as email, messaging, and the Web browser. During initial setup, your phone
is on by default, so you can use wireless services right away.
If you turn off your phone, you can still use the organizer features such as Contacts and
Calendar, as well as the media features such as the Pocket Tunes™ music application and
Pics&Videos. This is sometimes referred to as flight mode and is ideal for using your device
on airplanes and for maximizing battery life.
1. Wake up the screen.
2. Press and hold Power/ End . (You will hear a series of ascending tones and see a
“Welcome” screen. When your device locates a signal, “Sprint” and the signal-
strength icon appear at the top of the Phone application screen, indicating that
you can use the phone and Internet features, if they are supported by the local
network.)
3. Press and hold Power/End again to turn off your phone. (You will hear a series of
descending tones and see a “Powering off” screen. When your phone is off, “Phone
Off” appears at the top of the Phone application screen. You can still use the
nonwireless features of your device, such as Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos.)

Moving Around the Device Screen
To move around the Treo™ 700P smart device screen, you can use the
5-way navigator for one-handed navigation, or you can tap items on the screen with
the stylus. With use, you will find your own favorite way to scroll, highlight, and select
menu items.
Note:
The 5-way includes Right , Left , Up , Down , and Center buttons.
Left
18 Basics
Some third-party applications may not work with the 5-way navigator, and
you must use the stylus instead. In this guide, arrow icons are used to indicate
directions on the 5-way navigator. These arrows are different from any
onscreen scroll arrows or pick list arrows.

Scrolling Through Screens
As on a computer, you scroll on the Treo device to move from field to field or page to page,
or in some cases to highlight an item or option in a list.
You can also scroll using the stylus. Tap an onscreen scroll arrow, or drag the slider of an
onscreen scroll bar.
Highlighting and Selecting Items
On most screens, one item—a button, a list entry, or a check box—is highlighted by default.
The highlight identifies which item is affected by your next action. Use the 5-way to
move the highlight from one item to another before
opening or selecting it.
After highlighting an item, you can select or activate it by pressing Center or by tapping
the item with the stylus.
Accessing Command Buttons
In most applications, command buttons such as New, OK, and Details appear at the bottom
of the screen. In many cases, you can jump directly to these buttons instead of scrolling to
them.

item to use the menu shortcut. For example, when you’re in Calendar, you can
press Menu + N to create a new event.

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 previously described. The application menus give you access to additional features,
and pick lists enable you to select the contents for a particular field.
You can select an option from a pick list with the 5-way or the stylus:
