Voice Command Version 1.5 for Windows Mobile
IMPORTANT Do not become distracted from driving safely if
operating a motor vehicle while using Device Software.
Operating certain parts of this Device requires user attention.
Diverting attention away from the road while driving can possibly
cause an accident or other serious consequences. Even occasional,
short diversions of attention can be dangerous if your attention is
diverted away from your driving task at a critical time. Do not change
system settings or enter data non-verbally (using your hands) while
driving. Stop the vehicle in a safe and legal manner before attempting
these operations. This is importan t since while setting up or changing
some functions you might be required to distract your attention away
from the road and remove your hands from the wheel.
Microsoft makes no representations, warranties, or other
determinations that ANY use of the Software Product is legal, safe, or
in any manner recommended or intended while driving or otherwise
operating a motor vehicle.

General Operation
NOTE The Voice Command application is not available in all
languages. See Setting up voice commands
Voice Command Control: Many of the functions of the Device
Software can be accomplished using only voice commands. Using
voice commands while driving allows you to initiate the command
with a button and then operate the Device mostly without removing
your hands from the wheel.
Prolonged Views of Screen: If you are driving, do not access any
function requiring a prolonged view of the screen. Pull over in a safe
and legal manner before attempting to access a function of the
system requiring prolonged attention. Even occasional short scans to
.
the screen may be hazardous if your attention has been diverted
away from your driving task at a critical time.
Volume Setting: Do not raise the volume excessively. Keep the
volume at a level where you can still hear outside traffic and
emergency signals while driving. Driving while unable to hear these
sounds could cause an accident.
Let Your Judgment Prevail: The Device Software is only an aid.
Make your driving decisions based on your observations of local
conditions and existing traffic regulations. The Device Software is not
a substitute for your personal judgment.
Use of Speech Recognition Functions: Speech recognition
software is inherently a statistical process which is subject to errors.
It is your responsibility to monitor the speech recognition functions
and address any errors.

Your SIM card contains account
information such as your phone number
and voicemail access number. To use your
Treo 750 smart device’s phone, email, or
Stylus
web features, you need to insert a SIM
card. If a SIM card is not included in your
Treo 750 box, Cingular will provide you with
one.
TIP
If you don’t have a SIM card, contact
Cingular customer care at 1-866-CINGULAR
(1-866-246-4852) or dial 611 from your
Treo 750.

TIP
You can buy an extra battery as a spare for
long airplane trips or periods of heavy data
use. To ensure proper functioning, be sure to
use batteries from Palm only. Visit

Charging the battery
Although the battery may come with a
sufficient charge to complete the setup
process, we recommend that after setup
you charge your Treo 750 for three hours
(or until the indicator light is solid green) to
give it a full charge. See Maximizing battery
life for tips on making your battery’s power
last longer.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN Make sure the
battery is inserted before you charge. If you
connect your Treo 750 to a power source
without the battery inserted, nothing
happens.
1 Plug the AC charger into a wall outlet.

Maximizing battery life
Battery life depends on how you use your
Treo 750. You can maximize the life of your
battery by following a few easy guidelines:
• Charge your Treo 750 whenever you’re
at your desk, or charge it overnight each
day. The battery in your Treo 750 has a
much longer useful life if you charge it
frequently instead of waiting until it’s
fully drained.
• If you spend a lot of time using the
camera (if included), games, media
players (including listening to music
with wireless headphones using the
built-in Bluetooth
®
wireless technology),
eBooks, or other applications, keep an
eye on the battery icon and charge
when necessary.
• The wireless features (phone, email,
messaging, and web) on your Treo 750
generally consume more power than
the organizer features. If you don’t plan
to use the wireless features on your
Treo 750 for a while, turn off your
wireless services (see Turning wireless
services on/off). You can forward calls
to a different number or let all calls be
picked up by voicemail (see Forwarding
calls). To see if your wireless services
are on, tap the phone-off icon, and
then select Wireless Manager.

• Tap and drag the slider of an onscreen
scroll bar.
Closing screens
To accept the information you entered on a
screen and to return to the previous
screen—or to return to the previous screen
without making any changes—do one of
the following:
• Press OK .
• Use the stylus to tap or in the
upper-right corner of the screen. These
buttons are not accessible using the
5-way.
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.
TIP
The best way to learn to use the 5-way is
to experiment. Press the 5-way buttons and as
you do, follow the movement of the border
around the screen. The behavior of the 5-way
varies slightly in each application.
The highlight can take one of two forms,
depending on what is highlighted:
• Border: This rectangular border
highlights items such as an onscreen
button (such as OK, Dismiss, or Hide), a
check box, an option, or a web link.

• Reverse type (light text on a dark
background): This highlights items
such as a phone number, an email
address, text, or an item in a list.
• Stylus: Tap and drag the stylus across
the text you want to highlight. To
highlight a word, double-tap it. To
highlight a paragraph, triple-tap it.
TIP
When text is highlighted, you can press
Backspace to delete the highlighted text.
Using the action keys
After highlighting an item with the 5-way,
you can select or activate it by pressing
Center or by tapping the item with the
stylus.
Highlighting text
You can use the 5-way or the stylus to
highlight text on the screen:
• 5-way: Press and hold Shift ( or
) while pressing Right , Left ,
Up , or Down to extend the
highlight in that direction.
The left and right action keys give you quick
access to tasks that you can do on the
current screen, so the action key items
vary from application to application and
from screen to screen. Look on the screen
directly above the action key to see the
action that it takes in the current context.
In some contexts, these keys may do
nothing at all. In most cases the right
action key opens the menu, and the
left action key activates a specific
command, such as New or Edit.
Remember that action key functions vary
from screen to screen, so be sure to check
the onscreen label before pressing the
action keys.
