Your Palm® Pre™ phone puts Palm’s new multitasking, gesture-based operating system, the
®
Palm
webOS™ platform, inside a small, beautiful device with a keyboard that you can slide
out whenever you need it. Here are a few highlights of your new phone.
Gestures: On your Pre phone, you make calls, move around, and manage your applications
and info by making simple gestures either on the touchscreen or in the gesture area directly
beneath the screen. For more information, see “Use Gestures: Tap, Swipe, Drag, Flick, Pinch”
on page 42, and go to palm.com/support
The Get Started Guide in your Pre phone’s box has a detachable gesture guide to put in a
pocket and consult when you need to—you won’t need it very long.
Multitasking: You can have many applications open at once and easily move among them.
Go to the Launcher to open apps. See the lineup of your open apps in Card view. Tap an app
to bring it into the foreground and work with it. For more information, see “Open Applications”
on page 52.
The Palm
information from several sources in a single view, so you can access your info quickly, without
having to remember where you stored it.
For example, suppose you have a Google account for personal email, contacts, and calendar
events, and an Exchange account for your corporate email, contacts, and events. The Email,
Contacts, and Calendar applications on your Pre phone all provide a kind of view in which
you can see information from both of those accounts in one place—but though the
information is brought into one view, the sources of that information are kept separate. For
more information, read about linked contacts, layered calendars, and the single inbox for your
email in “Contacts” on page 130, “Calendar” on page 144, and “Email” on page 200.
®
Synergy™ feature: The Palm® Synergy™ feature on your Pre phone displays
to see animations that demonstrate these gestures.

Thanks also to the Synergy feature, in the Messaging application, all your conversations with
the same person are grouped together in one chat-style view. If you start a chat with Ed in IM,
for example, you can continue the same conversation using text messaging—and see it all in
the same view. For more information, see “Messaging” on page 217.
Universal search: Need to call Ed? Just slide out the keyboard and type ed. If he’s listed in
your Contacts, you can get his numbers from the search results. Tap a number and you’ve
made the call. Search works just as fast when you need to search the Web. For more
information, see “Search to Find Info and Make Calls” on page 71.
Sync: Your Pre phone gives you synchronization without a cable. You can sync with online
services that Palm has partnered with so that you can store and sync your info in online
accounts. You can access your data even when you are not able to make a connection to the
Web, because a copy of your data is stored on the device.
Your Palm profile: When you set up your phone, you create a Palm profile. Your profile gives
you access to services like automatic updates and automatic, frequent backups of any of your
info that is stored only on your phone and isn’t synchronized with an online account.

Activate Your Phone
䢇 If you purchased your phone at a Sprint Store: It is probably activated and ready to use.
䢇 If you received your phone in the mail, and it is a new Sprint account or a new line of
service: Your phone is designed to activate once you have completed setup (see
“Complete Setup” on page 18).
䢇 If you received your phone in the mail and you are activating a new phone for an existing
number on your account: You need to go online to activate the number on your new
phone. From your computer’s Web browser, go to sprint.com/activate
onscreen instructions to activate your phone.
If you have problems with activation, contact Sprint Customer Service at 1-888-211-4727 for
assistance.
Complete Setup
1. Press and hold the power button on the upper-right corner of your phone until you
see a logo on the screen (approximately five seconds).
2. Slide out the keyboard (see “Slide Out the Keyboard” on page 31).
3. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete setup. (To create a Palm profile, enter a
working email address (see “What Is a Palm Profile?” on page 19).)
and complete the
Important
If you see a notification that an update is available, tap Install Now to install it.
Palm periodically sends updates to enhance the applications and features
of your phone.
4. Your phone is ready to use.
5. After installation has finished, look for an email on your computer at the address you
used for your Palm profile. (Click the link in the email to verify your Palm profile. The link
takes you to a website where you can do a one-way transfer of data like contacts and

events from your desktop organizer software (see “Transfer Data From Your Computer to
Your New Phone” on page 19).)
Tip
If you don’t see the confirmation email in your Inbox, check your spam mail
folder in your desktop email program.
What Is a Palm Profile?
A Palm profile connects your phone to Palm to get automatic updates, back up your data,
and more. These features are in addition to the ones offered to you by Sprint.
Setting up a Palm profile is different from setting up email on your phone. To set up email, see
“Set Up Email” on page 201.
Transfer Data From Your Computer to Your New Phone
If you previously synchronized data from a Palm smartphone—such as contacts or calendar
events—with a desktop organizer such as Palm Desktop
®
Outlook
, Address Book, or iCal, you can do a one-way transfer of that data from the desktop
organizer to your Pre phone.
Important
Transferring your data to your phone is not the same as synchronizing your
data. The transfer is a one-way process and is best done only once for each
data source. You cannot synchronize your Pre phone with a desktop
computer, but you can sync it with an online account such as a Google
account or a corporate Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync account.
Windows: You can transfer contacts, calendar events, tasks, and memos/notes from Palm
Desktop software by ACCESS version 6.2 and Microsoft Outlook 2003 or later. If you are using
an earlier version of Palm Desktop software, download version 6.2 for free from
palm.com/support
.
Mac: You can transfer contacts, calendar events, and tasks from Address Book and iCal.
Transfer of data from Palm Desktop software on the Mac is not supported at this time.

Setup
Section 1A: Set Up Service19
Palm offers the Data Transfer Assistant to do this one-time data transfer. Use of the Data
Transfer Assistant is a three-step process:
1. Download the Data Transfer Assistant from palm.com/support
to your computer.
2. Connect your phone and your computer using the USB cable, and open and run the
Data Transfer Assistant on your computer.
3. On your phone, select where you want your transferred data to be imported:
䡲 To an online account: You can assign the transferred data to be imported to one of
your online accounts, such as Google or Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync.
䡲 To your phone: Transferred data that is imported to your phone is backed up to your
Palm profile, so you have a copy of it. But you can change this data in one place
only: your phone. The data is not accessible from any online account.
Did You Know?
Synchronization with online accounts is scheduled to happen frequently—
every 15 minutes of more often. Backup of data to your Palm profile is
scheduled to happen once daily.
For detailed information about transferring data, download and open the Data Transfer
Assistant, and then click Help.
Tip
You can also use a third-party application to set up synchronization with
some desktop organizers.
Turn the Phone On/Off
The screen and the wireless services—phone, Bluetooth® wireless technology, and Wi-Fi—of
your phone can be turned off and on separately. This means you can wake up the screen to
use just the organizer features of your device (Calendar, Contacts, Tasks, Memos, and so on)
without turning on the phone and other wireless features. Also, when the screen is turned off,
the phone can be on and ready for you to receive phone calls or messages.
20Section 1A: Set Up Service
Turn the Screen On/Off
Wake up the screen and leave the wireless services turned off when you want to use only the
organizer features, for example, when you’re on a plane and want to look at your calendar.
You can also turn off the screen without turning off the wireless features on your phone.
To save power, the screen dims automatically after a period of inactivity, then turns off. You
can be on a call when the screen dims and turns off—this does not affect the call.

Charge the Battery
WARN ING
Use only batteries and chargers that are approved by Sprint and Palm with
your phone. Failure to use a battery or charger approved by Sprint and Palm
may increase the risk that your phone will overheat, catch fire, or explode,
resulting in serious bodily injury, death, or property damage. Use of
unapproved third-party power supply accessories may damage the device
and void the Limited Warranty for the product.
Although the battery may come with a sufficient charge to complete the setup process, we
recommend that after setup you charge your phone until the battery icon is full to ensure
that the battery is fully charged.
See “Maximizing Battery Life” on page 39 for tips on making your battery’s power last longer.
1. On the right side of your phone, open the charger/microUSB connector. (This is easier
to do if you slide the keyboard out first.)
Basics
Section 2A: Basics37
2. Connect the small end of the USB cable to the charger/microUSB connector.
3. Connect the other end of the USB cable to the AC charger.
4. Plug the AC charger into a working outlet.
Tip
You can also charge your phone battery by connecting your phone to your
computer using the USB cable. Charging this way takes much longer than
using the AC charger. Do not, however, connect the Palm® TouchstoneTM
charging dock (sold separately) to your computer.
When the battery is very low, the battery icon in the upper-right corner of the screen
changes to red. When the battery is fully charged, the icon appears full and changes to
green.
38Section 2A: Basics
Maximizing Battery Life
Battery life depends on how you use your phone. You can maximize the life of your battery by
following a few easy guidelines:
䢇 Set your screen to turn off automatically after a shorter period of inactivity (see “Set the
Interval for Turning the Screen Off Automatically” on page 187).
䢇 Keep your battery away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat. Temperatures over
50 degrees Celsius (120 degrees Fahrenheit) can permanently reduce the capacity and
life span of any lithium-ion battery.
䢇 As with any mobile phone, if you are in an area with no wireless coverage, your phone
continues to search for a signal, which consumes power. Turn off your phone if you are
outside a coverage area (see “Turn Wireless Services Off (Airplane Mode)” on page 22).
䢇 Turn off the Wi-Fi (see “Wi-Fi” on page 230), Bluetooth (see “Bluetooth
Technology” on page 249), and GPS (see “Location Services” on page 236) features
when you are not using them.
䢇 If you set up an email account in the Email application, set the interval to automatically
download email to every two hours or less frequently (see “Enter Advanced Account
Settings” on page 206).
䢇 Lower the screen brightness (see “Change Screen Brightness” on page 186).
䢇 Avoid excessive use of instant messaging (IM). Frequent use of IM can reduce battery life.
䢇 Charge your phone whenever you can. Charge it overnight. The battery has a much
longer useful life when it is topped off frequently than when it is charged after it is fully
drained.
䢇 You can buy an extra battery as a spare for long plane trips or periods of heavy use. To
purchase batteries that are compatible with your phone, go to

Use Gestures: Tap, Swipe, Drag, Flick, Pinch
Gestures are an important, basic part of your phone. They’re easy to learn, and they make
working with the phone fast. You make most gestures with one finger. For a few, you need
two.
To see short animations illustrating how to do gestures, go to palm.com/support
You make gestures in two areas on your phone: the touchscreen and the gesture area. The
gesture area is the black area extending from the bottom of the screen to halfway down the
Center button.
* Gesture area
You also need to know about the Center button. Press the Center button to do the following:
䢇 When you’re working in an application, press Center to see Card view. Card view shows
you all the applications that are currently open, displayed as a series of cards (small active
windows).
䢇 When you’re in Card view, press Center to maximize the app in the center of the view.

42Section 2B: Move Around on Your Phone
Basic Gestures
Tap : Tap with the tip of the finger, fast and firmly, and then immediately lift your fingertip off the
screen. Don’t bear down on what you’re tapping. Don’t wait for a response; the response
comes after you lift your finger. Don’t linger on the gesture; a tap takes a split second to do.
Move Around
Section 2B: Move Around on Your Phone43
Swipe: A swipe is most often a horizontal gesture, from right to left or left to right. Do it fast, do
it lightly. In a swipe, your fingertip just skims the surface of the touchscreen or gesture area.
One kind of swipe you’ll use a lot: Back. Make the back gesture from right to left anywhere in
the gesture area. Back takes you up one level from a detailed view to a more general view of
the application you’re working in. For example, when you finish reading an email message,
make the back gesture to close the message and return to your list of messages. Or when
you finish writing a memo, make the back gesture to close and save the memo and return to
the display of all your memos. When you make the back gesture in an application and that’s
the only screen of that app that’s open, you minimize the app and go back to Card view.
44Section 2B: Move Around on Your Phone
Drag: Drag is the gesture you make for a slow scroll up and down a list. Slide your fingertip
slowly along the surface—no need to bear down.
One kind of drag that you’ll use a lot brings up Quick Launch when you’re in an application.
This drag gesture begins in the gesture area and ends on the touchscreen. As your fingertip
slowly crosses the border between the gesture area and the touchscreen, it drags Quick Launch into view. To open one of the apps in Quick Launch, move your finger to its icon.
When you see the app name appear, lift your finger. The application opens.
You also make the drag gesture as part of a drag and drop.
Section 2B: Move Around on Your Phone45
Move Around
Flick: As its name tells you, this is a quick gesture, great for scrolling long lists. Do it fast, do it
lightly; as with a swipe, your fingertip just skims the surface. The faster you flick, the faster and
farther you scroll up or down a list.
To close an application in Card view, flick the card up toward the top of the touchscreen. This
is called throwing the card off the top of the screen.
In some applications, such as Email and Messaging, you can throw a list item off the side of
the screen to delete the item.
46Section 2B: Move Around on Your Phone

Use a Phone Headset
You can connect the headset that came with your phone for hands-free operation.
WARN ING
If driving while using a phone is permitted in your area, we recommend
using a headset or hands-free car kit (sold separately). However, be aware
that use of a headset that covers both ears impairs your ability to hear other
sounds. Use of such a headset while operating a motor vehicle or riding a
bicycle may create a serious hazard to you and/or others, and may be
illegal. If you must use a stereo headset while driving, place a speaker in
only one ear. Leave the other ear free to hear outside noises, and use the
headset only if it is legal and you can do so safely. See “Driving Safety” on
page 314 for more information.
Use a Wired Headset
Your phone works with headsets that have a 3.5mm connector (look for three colored bands
on the plug). When in doubt, ask the third-party headset manufacturer if the product is
compatible with your phone. If you hear a headset buzz or poor microphone performance,
your headset may be incompatible with your phone.
1. Connect the headset. (While on a call, the icon changes to .)
2. The headset button performs different actions depending on what’s happening on the
phone. Press the headset button once to perform any of the following tasks:
䡲 Answer an incoming call.
䡲 Respond to call waiting.
䡲 Hang up a single active call or all calls on a conference call.
3. If you want to stop using the headset, do any of the following:
䡲 Switch from the headset to your phone’s speakerphone: Tap and tap Speaker.
䡲 Switch from the wired headset to a previously paired Bluetooth
device: Tap and tap the device name.

Bluetooth
After you set up a connection with a Bluetooth headset or hands-free car kit, you can
communicate with that device whenever it is within range and the Bluetooth feature on your
phone is turned on. The range varies greatly, depending on environmental factors. The
maximum is about 10 meters (30 feet).
