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.

battery compartment, slide the SIM
card into the cutout in the lower-right
corner of the compartment until you
feel it snap into place. Align the notches

7 If your SIM card is not already activated,
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

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.

Setting up synchronization
After you’ve finished setting up your
Treo 750, we recommend that you set up a
synchronization method to get the most
out of your Treo 750. Synchronizing means
that information that has been entered or
updated in one place—your Treo 750, your
computer, or your corporate server—is
automatically updated in the other (see

to experiment. Press the 5-way buttons, and
