Turning Your Device’s Phone On and Off

When your phone is on, it is connected to the Sprint National Network (provided you are in a coverage area) so that you can make and receive phone calls and use wireless services, such as email, messaging, and the Web browser. During initial setup, your phone is on by default, so you can use wireless services right away.

If you turn off your phone, you can still use the organizer features such as Contacts and Calendar, as well as the media features such as the Pocket Tunes™ music application and Pics&Videos. This is sometimes referred to as flight mode and is ideal for using your device on airplanes and for maximizing battery life.

1. Wake up the screen.

2. Press and hold Power/End . (You hear a series of ascending tones and see a

“Welcome” screen. When your device locates a signal, “Sprint” and the signal-strength icon appear at the top of the Phone application screen, indicating

that you can use the phone and Internet features, if they are supported by the local network.)

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

descending tones and see a “Powering off” screen. When your phone is off, Phone Off appears at the top of the Phone application screen. You can still use the nonwireless features of your device, such as Contacts, Calendar, Tasks, and Memos.)

Moving Around the Device Screen

Down

Left

Right

To move around the device screen, you can use the 5-way navigator for one-handed navigation, or you can 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:

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

18 Basics

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

Scrolling Through Screens

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

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

Highlighting and Selecting Items

On most screens, one item—a button, a list entry, or a check box—is highlighted by default. The highlight indicates 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.

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

Accessing Command Buttons

In most applications, command buttons such as New, OK, and Details appear at the bottom of the screen. In many cases, you can jump directly to these buttons instead of scrolling to them.

Basics

Note:

For detailed information on navigating with the 5-way, see the User Guide.

20 Basics

Selecting Options in a Pick List

A range of options is often presented in a type of menu called a pick list, which can be identified by a downward-pointing arrow. Pick lists are different from the application menus previously described. The application menus give you access to additional features, while pick lists enable you to select the contents for a particular field.

You can select an option from a pick list with the 5-way or the stylus:

䢇 Use the 5-way to highlight the pick list, and then press Center to display the

items in the list. Press Up and Down to highlight the item you want, and then press Center

to select the highlighted item. To exit the pick list without making a

selection, press Left or Right .

Connecting to a Bluetooth Hands-Free Device

Once you set up a partnership with a Bluetooth hands-free device such as a 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.

Note:

In the documentation for the other device, a partnership might be referred to by a term such as trusted pair, trusted device, or pairing.

1. Press Applications and select Bluetooth , or tap the

Bluetooth icon in the title bar.

2. Select Bluetooth On.

3. (Optional) Enter a device name that identifies your device

when it is discovered by other Bluetooth devices.

Basics

Note:

Use the same device name for all your Bluetooth connections. If you change the device name, you need to recreate any partnerships you have already created.

4. Prepare your hands-free device to accept a connection from

another Bluetooth device. (For instructions, see the documentation that came with your hands-free device.)

5. Select Setup Devices.

6. Select Hands-free Setup.

7. Follow the onscreen instructions to create a partnership with

the specific hands-free device. When prompted, enter a passkey.

Basics 41

Important:

Some hands-free devices have a predefined passkey. If your device has a predefined passkey, you can find the passkey in the documentation for that device. Other devices provide a screen where you enter a passkey that you make up. In either case, you must use the same passkey on both your Treo device and your hands-free device. We recommend that, where possible, you make up a passkey of 16 alphanumeric characters (letters and numerals only) to improve the security of your Treo device. The longer the passkey, the more difficult it is for the passkey to be deciphered.

8. After you finish setting up the device, select Done to return to Trusted Devic es view.

(MFB) on the hands-free device.

You know that the connection is successful when you see a light-blue headset icon in the title bar of the Phone application. You can now use your Treo device with the Bluetooth hands-free device.

Using a Bluetooth Hands-Free Device

After you create a partnership with your Bluetooth hands-free device and you turn it on within range (up to 30 feet or 10 meters), your Treo device automatically routes all calls to the hands-free device instead of to the earpiece on your Treo device. When a call comes in, your Treo device rings and the hands-free device beeps. Even if you answer the call on your Treo device, the call goes to the hands-free device. If you prefer to route calls to the earpiece on your Treo device, you can change the settings on your Treo device to do this; see the User Guide for information on customizing advanced settings for your hands-free device.

42 Basics

The features of a hands-free device vary by model. Check the documentation for your hands-free device for details about these features. Your Treo device can support the following actions, provided that your hands-free device also supports them:

䢇 Answer an incoming call. 䢇 Hang up a call and answer a call-waiting call. 䢇 Place a call on hold and answer a call-waiting call. 䢇 Hang up a single call. 䢇 Transfer a call from the earpiece on your Treo device to the hands-free device. 䢇 Ignore an incoming call. 䢇 Redial the last number you called from the hands-free device.
