End user notice

Microsoft® 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

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.

Inserting the SIM card and battery

Your SIM card contains account information such as your phone number and voicemail access number. To use your smart device’s phone, email, or web

features, you need to insert a SIM card. If a SIM card is not included in your Treo 750 box, AT&T will provide you with one.

To take advantage of the high-speed data connection available on your Treo 750, you need to have a 3G SIM card. A 3G SIM card has a blue back and has “3G” on it.

TIP

If you don’t have a SIM card, contact AT&T customer care at 1-866-246-4852 or dial 611 from your Treo 750.

follow the activation steps provided by AT&T, or contact AT&T directly for assistance. If you plan to use email and web browsing, you need a data service plan from AT&T in addition to your service contract. You may also need a data service plan to send and receive multimedia messages.

TIP

You can buy an extra battery as a spare for long plane trips or periods of heavy data use. To ensure proper functioning and avoid nullifying the warranty, be sure to use batteries from Palm only. Visit www.palm.com

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 into your Treo 750 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. 2 With the arrow on the connector facing

up (toward your Treo 750 screen), connect the charger cable to the bottom of your Treo 750.

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 every night. 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), 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 T

urning 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 select Wireless Manager.

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 highlight around the screen. The behavior of the 5-way varies slightly in each application.

Synchronizing information

Synchronizing means that information that has been entered or

updated in one place—your Palm

Tre o™ 750 smart device, your computer, or your corporate server—is automatically updated in the other. There’s no need to enter information twice. Some types of synchronization can happen on an automated schedule, so you don’t even have to think about it.

After you get into the habit of synchronizing regularly, you’ll know what a powerful tool synchronization is for transferring, updating, and backing up large amounts of information on your Treo 750.

SYNCHRONIZING INFORMATION

Synchronization overview

This chapter discusses using desktop sync software and other methods to synchronize your Treo 750 and your computer.

When you synchronize, info you enter on your Treo 750, your computer, or your corporate server is automatically updated in the other location. There’s no need to enter the info twice. This is true whether you sync with your computer using desktop synchronization software (see Setting up your computer for synchronization) or wirelessly with your company’s Exchange server using Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync Setting up wireless synchronizatio

(see

How do I synchronize?

There are a number of ways to make synchronization occur. You can install desktop sync software on your computer to synchronize in one of several ways, or you may be able to synchronize wirelessly with an Exchange server. You can also maximize your sync options and sync with both an Exchange server and desktop sync software to maximize your sync options.

Synchronizing with desktop sync software

BEFORE YOU BEGIN Install the software

from the Windows Mobile Getting Started CD, which came with your Treo 750. You must install this software even if you have already installed a previous version of desktop sync software. See Installing ActiveSync desktop software: Windows XP or Installing Center: Windows Vista for instructions.
