6 Setting Up Your Sprint PCS VisionSM Smart Device Treo™ 650 by palmOne

It is vital that you use only Sprint-approved AC adapter chargers, car chargers, and
replacement batteries. Use of unauthorized accessories could damage your device and
invalidate your warranty.

Check the indicator light to make sure your Treo is charging. If the battery is fully
drained, it may take a few moments for the indicator light to turn on while
charging. When your Treo is connected to a power source, the indicator light
glows solid (versus flashing), and the color of the light indicates the following:

䢇 Red indicator light: battery is charging.

䢇 Green indicator light: battery is fully charged.

䢇 Indicator light off: battery is not charging. Check the cable connection and the

outlet to which it is connected.

After you set up your Treo, the onscreen battery icon displays power status:

䢇 Full battery icon : battery is charged.

䢇 Partial battery icon : battery has some power but is not fully charged.

䢇 Empty battery icon : battery needs charging immediately.

䢇 Red lightning bolt : battery is charging.

䢇 Green lightning bolt : battery is fully charged.

Using a Sprint Charger Adapter

If the connector on your Sprint-approved 1 Amp AC charger or vehicle charger
doesn’t fit into the connector on the bottom of your Treo, use the included Sprint
charger adapter.

Warning!

Use only with 1 Amp AC adapters distributd by Sprint for Treo 650. Using any unapproved
AC adapter may destroy the AC adapter and cause fire.

Setting Up Your Sprint PCS VisionSM Smart Device Treo™ 650 by palmOne 7

Battery life

Battery life depends on individual use. Consumption factors include signal
strength, speakerphone use, and whether calls are data or voice calls.

When your device’s phone is on, the Treo battery provides up to 4.5 hours of talk
time or up to 300 hours of standby time on the Sprint PCS 1900 MHz band. Talk
time is slightly lower when roaming on the cellular 800 MHz band.

If the battery drains to the point where your Treo doesn’t turn on, the Treo stores
your information safely until you recharge the battery. To avoid draining the
battery, we recommend that you charge and synchronize your Treo every day,
especially if you use the wireless features of your device often.

Note:

8 Setting Up Your Sprint PCS VisionSM Smart Device Treo™ 650 by palmOne

Using your device’s phone has an effect on the battery life. You can extend the battery life by
turning off your device’s phone while using the organizer features. In any case, regular
charging is recommended for optimal performance.

Maximizing battery life

You can increase the life of your Treo battery by following a few easy guidelines.
Remember that battery life depends on how you use your Treo.

䢇 Charge your Treo whenever you’re at your desk, or charge it overnight each

day. The Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) battery has a much longer useful life when it is
topped off frequently, rather than charging it after it is fully drained.

䢇 The wireless features of your Treo (phone, email, messaging, and Web)

consume more power than its organizer features. However, if you spend a lot
of time using the camera (if included), games, media players, eBooks, or other
Palm OS

®

applications, keep an eye on the battery level and charge when

necessary.

䢇 If you don’t plan to use the wireless features on your Treo for a while, you may

want to turn off your device (see “Turning Your Device’s Phone On and Off”
on page 33). You can forward calls to a different number or let all calls be
picked up by voicemail (see “Call Forwarding” on page 157).

䢇 As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage, your

Treo searches for a signal, which consumes power. If you cannot move to an
area of better coverage, you may wish to temporarily turn off your device (see
“Turning Your Device’s Phone On and Off” on page 33).

䢇 Turn down the screen brightness (see “Adjusting the Brightness” on page 130).

䢇 Decrease the Auto-off setting in Power Preferences (see “Power Preferences”

on page 138). This turns off your screen automatically after a shorter period of
inactivity.

Preparing Your Computer

Synchronization allows you to enter information on your computer in an
application called Palm® Desktop software or in Microsoft Outlook and then
efficiently transfer that information to your Sprint PCS Vision
Treo™ 650. At the same time, changes you make on the Treo are transferred to
Palm Desktop or to Microsoft Outlook. Even if you manage all your contacts on
your Treo, synchronization is a great way to back up your information.

Before you can synchronize, you need to install the desktop synchronization
software on your computer. Even if you already own a Palm Powered
have installed a previous version, you need to install the Software Installation CD
that comes with your Treo.

We strongly recommend that you install the desktop synchronization software
soon after you start using your Treo and that you synchronize your device and
computer frequently to keep your information up-to-date (and backed up) in both
locations.

Turning Your Device’s Phone On and Off

You can use the Palm OS® features of your Treo 650 independently of the wireless
features and applications. Therefore, the screen and device are designed to be
turned off and on separately.

Turning Your Device’s Phone ON

When you turn on your device’s phone, it connects to the Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network so that you can make and receive phone calls and use other wireless
services.

䊳 Press and hold the Power/End button to turn on your phone. (You will

hear a series of ascending tones and see a “Welcome” screen. After your
device locates a signal, you can begin making and receiving calls and using
the Internet features, if supported by the local network.)

Tip:

The indicator light flashes green when your device is on and you are inside a Sprint
Nationwide PCS Network coverage area. If you are outside a coverage area, the indicator
light flashes amber.

Turning Your Device’s Phone OFF

When your device’s phone is off, it is not connected to the Sprint Nationwide PCS
Network. You can still use its other Palm OS features. This is ideal for airplane
flights and for maximizing battery life.

䊳 Press and hold Power/End to turn off your phone. (You will hear a series of

descending tones and see a “Powering off” screen.)

Learning the Basics 33

Waking Up the Screen

To use the Palm OS features when your phone is off, you need to wake up the
screen. You can also turn off your device’s screen without turning off your device’s
wireless features.

1. Press Power/End to wake up the screen.

2. Press Power/End again to turn off the screen.

Tip:

34 Learning the Basics

You can also press any of the application buttons on the front of your device to wake up

Moving Around the Treo Screen

To move around the Treo 650 screen, you can use the 5-way navigator or tap
items on the screen with the stylus. With use, you will find your own favorite way
to scroll, highlight, and select menu items.

Note:

Some third-party applications may not work with the 5-way navigator and you must use the
stylus instead. In this guide, we use arrow icons to indicate directions on the 5-way
navigator. These arrows are different from any onscreen scroll arrows or pick list arrows.

The 5-way navigator includes Right , Left , Up , Down , and Center
buttons.

the following common tasks:

䢇 Dialing a phone number (speed dial).

䢇 Accessing your Call Log.

䢇 Accessing the onscreen Dial Pad.

䢇 Opening an application.

䢇 Accessing a Web page.

䢇 Addressing a message (text, email or Picture Mail).

䢇 Accessing voicemail (preset on Treo).

For each favorite button, you can also set up a Quick
Key that gives you instant access to the phone number
or corresponding screen. Quick Keys are optional and
can be letters or numbers, but you can’t use both the
letter and number for the same key. For example, the
Voicemail Quick Key is 1. The letter equivalent for that
key is E, so you cannot assign E as a Quick Key to
another favorite button.

Headset Specifications

Your Treo 650 uses a 2.5 mm, 3-pin headset connector. In addition to the headset
that came with your Treo, you can use other third-party headsets that are designed
for this type of connector. When in doubt, ask the third-party headset
manufacturer if their product is compatible with Treo smart devices. If you hear a
headset buzz or poor microphone performance, your headset may be
incompatible with Treo 650.

Your Treo 650 is also compatible with headsets enabled with Bluetooth 1.1
wireless technology. This includes most of the headsets currently available with
Bluetooth wireless technology, as many of these headsets support both Bluetooth

1.1 and 1.2 wireless technology. Check the specifications for your headset to
confirm compatibility. Please note, however, that you cannot use a headset with
Bluetooth wireless technology to listen to MP3 files.

If you want to listen to music through the headset jack in stereo, use a stereo
adapter or other accessory.

current compatibility information.

Note:

Using Your Device’s Phone Features 69

The headset designed for Treo 180, 270 and 300 is not compatible with Treo 650. Standard
headsets sold with other Sprint phones are compatible with Treo 650.

Connecting to Devices With Bluetooth Wireless
Technology

With your device’s built-in Bluetooth wireless technology, you can connect to a
number of devices enabled with Bluetooth wireless technology, such as a headset,
printer, or GPS receiver, as well as to other phones and handhelds with Bluetooth
wireless technology. If your computer is enabled with Bluetooth wireless
technology, you can also synchronize wirelessly.

Once you set up a connection with a device with Bluetooth wireless technology,
you can communicate with that device whenever it is within range (about 30 feet).
Be sure to check your battery level before establishing a connection; if the battery
level is low, you can’t make a Bluetooth wireless connection.

Connecting to Headset With Bluetooth Wireless Technology

1. Go to Applications and select Bluetooth .

2. Select On.

3. Enter a Device Name for your Treo 650. (This is the

name other devices with Bluetooth wireless
technology see when they connect to your Treo.)

4. Select the Discoverable pick list and select one of
the following:

䡲 Ye s automatically establishes connections with devices with which

you’ve created a trusted pair. New devices can request a connection
which you can accept or refuse.

䡲 No enables devices with which you’ve already formed a trusted pair to

find your device. New devices cannot request a connection.

70 Using Your Device’s Phone Features

Note:

Both your device and the Bluetooth setting must be On for your device to be discoverable.

5. Select Setup Devices.

6. Select Hands-free Setup.

7. Follow the onscreen instructions to create a

trusted pair with the specific device. (In some
cases you may need to perform setup steps on the
other device before you can complete this step.)

8. After you finish setting up the device, close the
Bluetooth application.

Tips for Handsfree Devices With Bluetooth Wireless Technology

䢇 If you’re using a handsfree device with Bluetooth wireless technology, Treo

automatically routes all calls to that device. When a call comes in, your Treo
rings and the headset beeps. However, even if you pick up the call on your
Treo, the call goes to the headset.

䢇 If a headset with Bluetooth wireless technology is paired and within range

when you place a call, the call is routed to the headset, not the handset.

䢇 To transfer a call from a headset with Bluetooth wireless technology to your

Treo (handset) during a call, select from the Active Call view.

䢇 To set up advanced features, such as auto-answer and voice tags, go to

Applications and select Prefs . Select Handsfree, and then configure
the settings. Note that your handsfree device with Bluetooth wireless
technology must support voice tags to use that feature.

䢇 Your Treo does not support Bluetooth wireless connections to stereo headsets,

keyboards, or LAN access points.

Using Your Device’s Phone Features 71

Creating Trusted Pairs

After you set up a Bluetooth wireless connection with your computer or other
accessory devices, you may want to set up other trusted devices, such as a friend’s
handheld. When your Treo recognizes a trusted device, it automatically accepts
communication, bypassing the discovery and authentication process.

1. Go to Applications and select Bluetooth .

2. Select Setup Devices.

3. Select Trusted Devices.

4. Select Add Device. (The Discovery icon appears to indicate that the discovery

process is active.)

5. Select the device you want to add as a trusted device. (If the device you want
to add isn’t on the discovery results list, select Find More to search again.)

6. Enter the same passkey on your device and the other device, and then
select OK.

Important

Some devices with Bluetooth wireless technology have a built-in passkey; others let you
select the passkey. In either case you must use the same passkey on both the other
device and your Treo. See the documentation for the device with Bluetooth wireless
technology for additional information.

7. Select Done.

After you set up your Bluetooth wireless connections and trusted pairs, you can
check the Allow only trusted devices to connect box for added security protection.

Note:

72 Using Your Device’s Phone Features

Make sure you close the Bluetooth application after you set up devices and trusted pairs.
