When your smartphone is on (see Turning your phone on and off), the onscreen battery icon displays the charging status:

A red lightning bolt indicates that the battery is connected to a wall outlet and is charging.

A green lightning bolt indicates that the battery is connected to a wall outlet and is fully charged.

A partial battery without a lightning bolt indicates that the battery is not connected to a wall outlet and it has some power.

MAXIMIZING BATTERY LIFE

SETTING UP

• Charge your smartphone whenever

you’re at your desk, or charge it overnight. The Li-ion battery has a much longer useful life when it is topped off frequently, versus charging it after it is fully drained.

• Your smartphone’s wireless features

(phone, email, messaging, and web) and media features (camera, media players, eBooks, and games) consume more power than its organizer features. If you spend a lot of time using the wireless and media features, keep an eye on the battery icon and charge when necessary.

• If you don’t plan to use the wireless

features on your smartphone for a while, turn off your phone (see Turning your phone on and off) and let all calls be picked up by voicemail.

• As with any mobile phone, if you are in

an area with no wireless coverage, your smartphone searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot move to an area of better coverage, temporarily turn off your phone. While your phone is off, you can continue to use your smartphone’s nonwireless features.

Scrolling through screens

As on a computer, you scroll on the Treo smartphone to move from field to field or page to page, or in some cases to highlight an item or option in a list.

Up or Down to scroll one screen at a time.

You can also scroll using the stylus. Tap an onscreen scroll arrow, or drag the slider of an onscreen scroll bar.

In list screens, use the 5-way to select and move between entries such as notes, memos, contacts, or photos. In individual entry screens—such as a single photo or email message—use the 5-way to move among the items on the screen or to move to another entry.

The behavior of the 5-way for list screens and entry screens varies according to application. Here are some general scrolling tips that apply in most applications:

• Press Right , Left , Up , or

Down to move to the next field, button, or action in that direction.

• In list screens, press and hold Up or

Down to scroll one screen at a time.

• When inside a text field, press Right

or Left to scroll to the next character or word, press Up or Down to scroll between lines, or press and hold

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.

The highlight can take one of two forms, depending on what is highlighted:

• Border glow: When an onscreen

button (such as OK or Cancel) or pick list is highlighted, the item displays a glow around its border. If an entire list screen

is highlighted, the glow appears at the top and bottom of the screen only.

TIP

When a border appears at the top and bottom of a list screen, press Center on the 5-way to highlight the first item in the list.

• Colored background: When a phone

number, text, an email address, a web link, or an item in a list is highlighted, the item is displayed as white text against a colored background. Examples of lists include the Contacts list, the Messaging Inbox, and the Tasks list.

After highlighting an item, you can select or activate it by pressing Center , or by tapping the item with the stylus.

Once you set up a partnership with a Bluetooth headset or car kit, you can communicate with that device whenever it is turned on and within range. Bluetooth range is up to 30 feet/10 meters in optimum environmental conditions. Performance and range may be reduced by physical obstacles, radio interference from nearby electronic equipment, and other factors.

CAUTION Do not turn on the Hearing Aid

Compatibility setting unless you use a hearing aid with a telecoil. Using this setting without a hearing aid or with a hearing aid without a telecoil may be harmful to your hearing.

When the Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) setting is on, your smartphone sends the audio from your phone calls to the telecoil rather than to the microphone of your hearing aid. You are likely to hear calls much better because volume is increased and background noise and feedback are diminished. The HAC setting improves only the calls you listen to through the earpiece. It does not affect calls heard on the speakerphone or with a car kit or headset. HAC requires extra battery power, so watch your battery consumption when it's turned on.

YOUR EMAIL AND OTHER MESSAGES

Which application should I use?

Your smartphone includes the VersaMail® application (called Email in Applications View), which you can use to access your corporate, personal, and fee-based Internet email. You can also access web-based email, like Yahoo! Mail or Hotmail, from the web browser on your smartphone.

NOTE Your wireless service provider may

offer additional email applications that are compatible with your Treo 755 smartphone. Contact your wireless service provider’s customer service department for more info.

TIP

An email application is not an email provider. It works with an account from a provider to transfer messages to your smartphone.

KEY TERM

Email provider The service you

use to send and receive email. Your email provider’s name appears between the @ symbol and the dot symbol in your email address.

BEFORE YOU BEGIN You must activate

data services on your wireless service provider account before you can use email on your smartphone.

The VersaMail® application

Before you can use the VersaMail application, you need to enter your email account settings. If you have multiple email accounts, you must enter settings for each email account.

You can find additional information on using and customizing the VersaMail application in the User Guide for the

Ver saMail

go.palm.com/treo755p/.

NOTE The instructions in this section

apply only to the version of VersaMail that came with your smartphone. If you upgrade to a newer version of VersaMail, please refer to the instructions included with that version.
