End User Notice
Microsoft® Voice Command Version 1.6 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 important 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.

Removing the Back Panel
Several tasks require that you remove the back panel of your Treo Pro smartphone—
connecting a lanyard, inserting and removing an expansion card, replacing the battery, and
performing a hard or soft reset. To remove the back panel:
䊳 With the back panel facing you, push the lower-right corner of the back panel firmly
forward with your right thumb to release it, and then remove the panel. (You may find it
easier to use a thumb at each back corner.)

Note
The back panel can sometimes be difficult to remove the first few times. If
you have trouble removing the back panel as described, go to
palm com/support

Charging the Battery
*
Although the battery may come with a sufficient charge for you to complete the setup process
and make a call, we recommend that as soon as possible you charge your Treo Pro
smartphone until the indicator light is solid green to give it a full charge. See “Maximizing
Battery Life” on page 28 for tips on minimizing power consumption and maximizing battery
life.
1. Plug the USB cable into the USB AC charger. (Make sure that the chrome circle on the
cable faces the chrome circle on the charger.)
* Indicator Light
2. Plug the USB AC charger into a wall outlet.
3. Connect the USB cable to the bottom of your smartphone. Make sure the chrome circle
on the cable faces up, toward the screen.
4. To confirm that your smartphone is being charged, wait about 30 seconds and then
check the indicator light.
䡲 Solid red: Your smartphone is being charged.
䡲 Solid green: Your smartphone is fully charged.
26 Section 1A: Setting Up Your Treo™ Pro Smartphone by Palm
If the battery is fully drained, it may take a few minutes for the indicator light to turn on when
you connect your smartphone to the USB AC charger. If the indicator light still does not turn
on, double-check the cable connection and the electrical outlet to which it is connected.
Device Setup
Tip
Your smartphone receives a charge when it is connected to your computer
with the USB cable; however, the charging rate is less than with the USB AC
charger. It is not enough to charge a fully drained battery.
Checking Battery Power
When your device is on (see “Turning Your Treo Pro Smartphone On and Off” on page 32),
the onscreen battery icon on the Today screen displays the charging status:
䢇 Solid lightning bolt : Battery is being charged.
䢇 Full battery : Battery is fully charged and can be disconnected from the power
source.
䢇 Partial battery : Battery has power but is partially drained; the shading indicates
approximately how much power the battery has.
䢇 Exclamation point : Battery needs to be charged immediately.
Important
* Battery Icon
Keep your battery charged. If your battery becomes fully drained for an
extended period of time, your smartphone may take up to 20 minutes to
turn on after you begin charging it using your AC charger.

Tip
If the battery is low, the indicator light flashes red.
Tapping the battery icon on the Tod ay screen opens a window showing the
percentage level of charge left in the battery.
To go to the Toda y screen so you can view the battery icon, press End if
you are not on a phone call. If you’re on a call, press
Start and select To da y.
Maximizing Battery Life
Battery life depends on how you use your Treo Pro smartphone. Consumption factors include
signal strength, use of accessories with Bluetooth
and the type of calls you make (data or voice). Increase battery life by following these easy
guidelines:
䢇 Charge your smartphone whenever you’re at your desk, or charge it overnight each day.
The battery in your device has a longer useful life when it is topped off frequently, versus
being charged after it is fully drained.
䢇 If you spend a lot of time using the camera, games, media players, or other applications,
keep an eye on the battery icon and charge when necessary.
䢇 The wireless features of your smartphone (phone, email, messaging, GPS, Web, and any
applications that use data services or a Wi-Fi connection) generally consume more power
than the nonwireless features (Calendar, Tasks, Notes). If you don’t plan to use the
wireless features on your device for a while, turn off your wireless services (see “Using
Comm Manager to Turn Wireless Services On and Off” on page 221). You can forward
calls to a different number or let all calls be picked up by voicemail (see “Forwarding
Calls” on page 90).
䢇 When checking personal email, set the synchronization interval to every 2 hours or more
(see “Setting the Synchronization Schedule” on page 334).
䢇 Turn off the Bluetooth feature on your smartphone when you do not need to make a
Bluetooth connection.

䢇 By default, the Wi-Fi feature on your smartphone disconnects and turns off when the
screen is off. If you change the default Wi-Fi settings, be sure to turn off the Wi-Fi feature
when it is not in use (see “Using Comm Manager to Turn Wireless Services On and Off”
on page 221). You can also turn on the Enable Power Savings option in Wi-Fi Settings to
conserve battery power (see “Customizing Wi-Fi Settings” on page 211).
䢇 As with any wireless phone, if your phone is on and you’re in an area with no wireless
coverage, your smartphone continues to search for a signal, and that consumes power. If
you cannot move to an area of better coverage, temporarily turn off your phone (see
“Turning Your Phone On and Off” on page 34).
䢇 Turn down the screen brightness (see “Adjusting the Brightness” on page 346).
䢇 Turn off the screen saver (see “Viewing and Optimizing Power Settings” on page 364).
䢇 Set your screen to turn off automatically after a shorter period of inactivity (see “Viewing
and Optimizing Power Settings” on page 364).
䢇 Turn off the option to receive beamed information if you’re not using it (see “Receiving
Beamed Information” on page 220).
䢇 Keep your battery and your smartphone away from direct sunlight and other sources of
heat. Temperatures over 113 degrees Farenheit (45 degrees Celsius) can permanently
reduce the capacity and life span of any lithium-ion battery.
