Comment charger la batterie du Palm Treo 90 ?

Connectez l'adaptateur secteur au chargeur de voyage ou au câble HotSync, puis branchez l'adaptateur sur une prise murale. Le voyant LED clignote pendant la charge (environ 90 minutes) et devient fixe lorsque la batterie est complètement chargée.

Comment effectuer une réinitialisation matérielle (hard reset) ?

Utilisez un trombone ou un outil similaire pour appuyer sur le bouton de réinitialisation situé au dos de l'appareil. Maintenez le bouton enfoncé tout en appuyant sur le bouton d'alimentation jusqu'à ce que le menu de réinitialisation apparaisse. Confirmez pour effacer toutes les données.

Comment installer de nouvelles applications sur le Treo 90 ?

Téléchargez l'application au format .prc ou .pdb, puis utilisez l'outil d'installation Palm Desktop (Install Tool) pour l'ajouter lors de la prochaine synchronisation HotSync. Vous pouvez également copier l'application sur une carte d'extension SD/MMC.

Comment synchroniser le Treo 90 avec mon ordinateur ?

Connectez le câble HotSync à votre ordinateur (port USB ou série) et à votre Treo 90. Lancez le logiciel Palm Desktop, puis appuyez sur le bouton HotSync du câble. La première synchronisation vous demandera de créer un nom d'utilisateur.

Comment verrouiller le clavier pour éviter les pressions accidentelles ?

Maintenez enfoncé le bouton d'alimentation pendant deux secondes. Pour déverrouiller, maintenez à nouveau le bouton d'alimentation deux secondes, puis appuyez sur OK dans la boîte de dialogue.

Comment définir un mot de passe pour protéger mes données privées ?

Ouvrez l'application Sécurité (Security) dans le lanceur d'applications. Appuyez sur 'Password' et saisissez un mot de passe. Confirmez-le une seconde fois. Vous pouvez ensuite marquer des enregistrements comme privés et les masquer.

Que faire si j'oublie mon mot de passe et que l'appareil est verrouillé ?

Dans l'écran de sécurité, appuyez sur 'Lost Password'. Vous devrez effectuer une réinitialisation matérielle (hard reset), ce qui efface toutes les données. Effectuez une synchronisation après pour restaurer les données non privées.

Comment utiliser le navigateur Web Blazer ?

Assurez-vous d'avoir configuré une connexion réseau via un téléphone mobile compatible. Ouvrez Blazer depuis le lanceur d'applications. Saisissez une URL dans la barre d'adresse ou utilisez les favoris. Les pages Web s'affichent en mode simplifié.

Comment envoyer et recevoir des SMS avec le Treo 90 ?

Ouvrez l'application Palm SMS. Pour créer un message, appuyez sur 'New', saisissez le texte et le numéro du destinataire. Les messages entrants apparaissent dans la boîte de réception. Vous pouvez également créer une signature.

Comment optimiser l'autonomie de la batterie ?

Réduisez la luminosité de l'écran, paramétrez une mise hors tension automatique rapide (Auto-off), désactivez les sons inutiles et évitez de laisser des applications inutilisées ouvertes. Verrouillez le clavier lorsque l'appareil est dans une poche.

This chapter explains the physical buttons and controls on your Treo™ 90 handheld, how to use your handheld for the first time, and how to install Palm™ Desktop software and the HotSync® Manager synchronization software so you can synchronize your handheld and your computer.

Your Treo handheld is one of the smallest, lightest, color Palm OS ^® handhelds available today. With your new handheld, you will no longer have trouble getting to meetings and appointments on time, remembering people's names and personal details, or keeping track of all the items on your to do list. Your handheld can help you improve your track record in all these areas, both at work and at home.

You can enter all your schedule details in Date Book Plus so you can view them by the day, week, month, year, or in list format; you can even set an alarm to remind you of important meetings. Keep all your contact names, addresses, phone numbers, and other details in Contacts, so you can find them as soon as you need them. Add your tasks to To Do list, prioritize them so you don't overlook them, and assign them a due date.

To make sure you don't lose any of this important information, you can synchronize your data with Palm Desktop software on your computer so you always have a backup copy. You can set different levels of security for your handheld so unauthorized eyes cannot view your data.

When you are out of the office, track your expenses for your expense reports; then transfer the data to your computer to print it out. Using the IR port or a cable to connect to your data-enabled mobile phone, you can dial your ISP and use the included Wireless Application Suite to send and receive e-mail, exchange SMS text messages, and to browse the Internet. Alternatively you can write, edit, and view your e-mail, and then use Palm Mail to synchronize your e-mail with your desktop e-mail application when you return to your office.

Using your handheld doesn't always have to be serious either. With the bright color screen and expansion capabilities, you can enjoy viewing photos and playing games without worrying about running out of storage space.

To install and operate Palm Desktop software and the HotSync Manager synchronization software, your computer system must meet the following requirements:

■ Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP with USB port, (for USB HotSync® cable)
--or--
Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or Windows NT 4.0 with serial port (for serial HotSync cable)
■ 32 MB RAM (memory)
■ 25 MB available hard disk space
■ VGA monitor or better
■ CD-ROM drive (you can also download Palm Desktop software from www.handspring.com)
■ Internet Explorer 5.01 or higher (recommended)

If you already own a Palm OS handheld, Handspring recommends that you install the version of Palm Desktop software that comes with your Treo handheld into the same folder as your current Palm Desktop software. When you install the new version in the same folder as the previous version, all your data is preserved. If you use another personal information manager (PIM), you still need to install Palm Desktop software in order to update the HotSync Manager on your computer.

You perform HotSync operations in exactly the same way, so you can quickly synchronize your old data with your new handheld.

Note: If you used password protection on your old handheld, you must upgrade to the most current desktop. The method of storing passwords has changed with the latest release of the desktop. Therefore, your password-protected information will not be synchronized if you don't upgrade.

Synchronize your old handheld with your old Palm Desktop software. This ensures that the latest information from your handheld is on your desktop computer.
(Optional) To ensure against any data loss, go to the folder that stores Palm Desktop software (this is usually the Handspring or Palm folder), copy (do not move) your user name folder, and store the copy outside the Palm Desktop software folder.
Follow the installation instructions that begin on page 24. Be sure to install the new software in the same folder as the old software.
Connect your new handheld to the HotSync cable and press the HotSync button on the cable. If the Select User dialog box appears, select your user name.
If you had important settings on your old handheld, such as Network Preferences or Connection Preferences, manually copy them from your old handheld to your new handheld.
Compare the applications on your old handheld and your new handheld.
Beam any third party applications that did not transfer from your old handheld to your new handheld, or install them from the original files.
If any data for your third party applications did not transfer, beam it from your old handheld to your new handheld.
If you created a password on your old handheld, enter it on your new handheld.

Note: Records you previously marked Private remain marked Private, but you need to reenter a password on your new handheld.

After you complete the upgrade process described above, you have two devices with the same name. This is an undesirable situation. Each device must have a unique name in order to prevent unexpected results during HotSync operations and other complications.

We strongly recommend that you perform a hard reset on your old handheld. See page 215 for details.

A hard reset not only erases all data from the old handheld; it also erases the name and makes that handheld a clean slate, ready to receive a new name. The next time you perform a HotSync operation with this old handheld, you are asked to give it a name. Be sure to give it a unique name.

You can also use the IR port to update the information between your handheld and computer using HotSync technology. See the section that begins on page 160 for details.

Under normal use, you should not have to use the reset button. See Appendix A for information about when and how to use the reset button.

Enables you to connect your handheld to the travel charger, HotSync cable, and other devices such as a mobile phone. The HotSync cable connects to a USB port or serial port on your computer and enables you to synchronize the information between your handheld and computer using HotSync technology.

To avoid accidentally pressing keys while your handheld is in your pocket, purse, etc., you can lock the keyboard. Locking the keyboard helps conserve battery power, and prevents unintentional creation and deletion of records. When the keyboard is locked, you cannot enter data or view information on your handheld until you unlock the keyboard.

■ Press and hold the power button for two seconds.

Press and hold the power button for two seconds.
In the KeyLock Off dialog box, tap OK to unlock the keyboard.

Depending on the lighting conditions or temperature of the environment where you use your handheld, you may need to adjust the brightness and color saturation of the display.

To use your handheld, you must connect the travel charger or the HotSync cable and charge the battery. When you're near your computer, connect your handheld to the HotSync cable with the travel charger connected to a wall outlet as shown in the section that begins on page 23. When travelling, connect the travel charger cable directly to your handheld as shown in this section.

It takes about 90 minutes to charge the battery. A fully charged battery provides approximately 10 days of use. If the battery drains to the point where your handheld does not turn on, it stores your data safely for about three days.

Note: Recharge the battery after the first low battery warning. This prevents data loss that can occur if your handheld sits idle for more than five days after the first battery warning. See Appendix A for tips on extending the life of the battery.

Plug the travel charger into a wall outlet.
With the word "UP" facing up (as shown), connect the travel charger cable to the charger connector on the bottom of your handheld.

Like using a mouse to click elements on a computer screen, using the stylus to tap elements on your handheld screen is a way to get things done on your handheld.

The first time you start your handheld, setup instructions appear on the screen. These instructions include a calibration screen, or digitizer. Calibration aligns the internal circuitry of your handheld with its touch-sensitive screen so that when you tap an element on the screen, the handheld can detect exactly which task you want to perform.

Important: Always use the point of the stylus for tapping the handheld screen. Never use an actual pen, pencil, or other sharp object to tap the handheld screen.

With your handheld turned on, you can tap the handheld screen to perform many operations, such as the following:

■ Open applications
■ Choose menu commands
■ Select options in dialog boxes

Just as you can drag the mouse to select text or move objects on your computer, you can also drag the stylus to select text. You can also use the stylus to drag the slider of any scroll bar.

USB cable and port

Serial cable and port

Note: If you are unsure about the exact location of the USB port or serial port on your computer, refer to the manual supplied with the computer.

Plug the travel charger into a wall outlet.

Tip: The travel charger does not need to be plugged into a wall outlet to perform a HotSync operation. However, if you want to use the HotSync cable to charge your Treo handheld, you must plug the travel charger into a wall outlet.

When you use desktop software with HotSync technology, you can do any of the following:

■ Work with your handheld applications on your computer. Most desktop software applications duplicate many of the applications on your handheld, so you can view, enter, and modify most of the data stored on your handheld.
■ Back up and synchronize data between your handheld and your computer. Synchronization is a one-step procedure that ensures that changes you make on your handheld or desktop software appear in both places. See the section that begins on page 76 for details.
- Import and export data, so you can easily transfer data from other desktop applications into many of your applications. See the section that begins on page 34 for details.
■ Print data from your desktop software on any printer.

Your handheld comes with Palm Desktop software. Palm Desktop software includes many of the same applications as your handheld: Date Book, Address (Contacts), To Do List, Memo Pad, Expense, and desktop e-mail connectivity.

The following instructions guide you through installing Palm Desktop software. After installation, refer to the online Help in Palm Desktop software for information about how to use the software.

Note: You must install the software that comes with your Treo handheld even if you already installed Palm Desktop software for a previous Palm OS handheld.

To ensure a safe and uninterrupted installation of Palm Desktop software, please do not simply copy the Palm Desktop software files to your computer's hard disk. You must use the installer to place the files in their proper locations and to decompress the files.

Connect the HotSync cable. See page 23 for instructions.
Exit any open programs, including those that run at startup such as Microsoft Office, and disable any virus-scanning software.
Insert the Handspring CD-ROM into the computer's CD-ROM drive.
If the language selection screen appears, click the same language you selected on your handheld. Choosing a different language may result in loss of data.
Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
If you have a data-enabled mobile phone with an IR port, or a special cable that connects to your handheld, complete the next part of the installation to install the Wireless Application Suite and configure your Treo for wireless data communication, otherwise skip this step.

When the set up process is done, the installation screen closes automatically.

The software that comes with your Treo handheld includes everything you need to synchronize your handheld with Microsoft Outlook. If you already have Microsoft Outlook installed on your computer, the installation program prompts you to choose the Microsoft Outlook synchronization option.

If you prefer to use another personal information manager (PIM), such as Lotus Notes, you can use it if third-party connection software, called a conduit, is available for your PIM. You must install the software that came with your Treo handheld along with the conduit for your PIM to synchronize the data between your handheld and your PIM. For information on conduit software, go to this web site: www.handspring.com.

This chapter explains how to enter data into your Treo™ 90 handheld using each of the following methods:

■ Using the handheld keyboard
■ Using the onscreen keyboard

After you finish, tap Done to close the onscreen keyboard and place the text in the record.

Many of the applications on your handheld are available in Palm Desktop software and in most Personal Information Manager (PIM) applications. If you have a lot of data to enter, or prefer to use the computer keyboard, you can use Palm™ Desktop software, or any supported PIM such as Microsoft Outlook, to enter information. You can then perform a HotSync® operation to synchronize the information on your computer with the information on your handheld. See the section that begins on page 76 for details on HotSync operations.

Refer to Palm Desktop online Help or the documentation that came with your PIM software for more information on entering data on your computer.

If you have data stored in computer applications such as spreadsheets and databases, or if you want to import data from another Palm OS ^® handheld, you can transfer the data to your handheld without having to key it in manually. Save the data in one of the file formats listed below, import it into Palm Desktop software, and then perform a HotSync operation to transfer the data to your handheld.

Palm Desktop software can import data in the following file formats:

■ Comma delimited (.csv, .txt): Address and Memo Pad only
■ Tab delimited (.tab, .tsv, .txt): Address and Memo Pad only
■ CSV (Lotus Organizer 2.x/97 Mapping): Address only
■ vCal (.vcs) Date Book only
■ vCard (.vcf) Address only
■ Date Book archive (.dba)
■ Address archive (.aba)
■ To Do List archive (.tda)
■ Memo Pad archive (.mpa)

Archive formats can only be used with Palm Desktop software. Use the archive file formats to share information with other people who use Palm OS handhelds or to create a copy of your important Palm Desktop information.

Open Palm Desktop software.
Click the application into which you want to import data.
If you are importing records containing a field with category names, select All in the Category box.
Be sure that the same categories that appear in the imported file also exist in the application. If the categories do not exist, create them now; otherwise, the records are imported into the Unfiled category.
From the File menu, select Import.
Select the file you want to import.
Click Open.
To import data into the correct Palm Desktop fields, drag fields in the left-hand column so that they are opposite the corresponding imported field on the right.
If you do not want to import a field, deselect the check box for that field.
Click OK.

The imported data is highlighted in the application.

To add the imported data to your handheld, perform a HotSync operation.

See Palm Desktop online Help for more information on importing and exporting data.

This chapter explains how to switch between applications on your Treo™ 90 handheld, how to change application settings so they are personalized to your work methods, and how to categorize applications so you view them in related groups.

Your handheld is equipped with a variety of applications. All the applications installed on your handheld appear in the Applications Launcher.

This section explains how to install and remove applications on your handheld and how to remove Palm™ Desktop software from your computer.

Your handheld comes with the Contacts, Date Book Plus, To Do List, Memo Pad, Expense, Calculator, CityTime, and Palm Mail applications installed and ready to use. The Handspring CD-ROM also includes a wireless application suite which you can install from the CD-ROM if you want to configure your handheld for wireless communication.

You can also install additional applications on your handheld, such as business applications, games, and other software. The Install Tool makes it easy to install software on your handheld during a HotSync® operation. There are a variety of third-party applications available for devices that use Palm OS software. To learn more about these applications, go to the web site: www.handspring.com.

When you download an add-on application from the Internet, it is probably in a compressed format such as a .zip or .sit file. If the file is compressed, you need to use a decompression utility on your computer, to decompress the .prc and .pdb files inside the compressed file. A trial version of the PKZIP decompression utility is located on your computer in the Programs\Handspring\Utility folder. If you need a different decompression utility, search the Internet using phrases like 'zip decompression' or 'how to unzip'. This will lead you to various third-party utilities that you can use to decompress any kind of compressed or downloaded file--not just add-ons for your handheld. After you install the utility, you are ready to decompress the add-on application files that you downloaded.

Note: Any applications that you install on your handheld resides in RAM memory; you can delete them at any time.

Copy or download the application you want to install into the add-on folder in your Handspring (or Palm) directory on your computer.

Note: If the software you download is compressed, you need to decompress it into this folder. If you prefer to place the application into another folder, you need to navigate to that folder before you complete step 5.

Double-click the Palm Desktop icon on your desktop.

Your Treo™ 90 handheld includes a full suite of personal information manager (PIM) applications: Date Book Plus, Contacts, To Do List, Memo Pad, and Expense. This chapter provides instructions on how to do tasks that are common to these applications. It's easy to transfer what you learn in one application to the other applications because the structure and behavior of these applications are quite similar.

Throughout this chapter, the term “record” is used to refer to an individual item in any of the PIM applications: a single Date Book Plus event, Contacts entry, To Do List item, Memo Pad memo, or Expense item.

You can use the following procedure to create a new record in Date Book Plus, Contacts, To Do List, Memo Pad, and Expense.

Open the application in which you want to create a record.
Press Menu .
Under Record, select New... (/N).
In Date Book Plus only: Select start and end times for your event, and then hold Option and press Return 🔒

PALM Treo 90 - To create a record: - 1

Enter text for the record.

Note: You do not have to press Shift to capitalize the first letter of the name. Your handheld automatically capitalizes the first letter of each field (except numeric and e-mail fields).

Use the scroll buttons or tap a field directly to move between fields.
(Optional) Tap Details to select attributes for the record.
In Contacts only: Hold Option and press Return to finish.

There's no need to save the record because your handheld saves it automatically.

After you create a record, you can change, delete, or enter new text at any time. Two screen features tell you when your handheld is in editing mode:

■ A blinking cursor

■ One or more edit lines

Jul 24, 02 SMTW TFS 8:00 9:00 10:00 11:00 12:00 1:00 Planning team meeting 2:00 3:00 4:00 5:00 6:00 New Details Go Edit line Blinking cursor

For information on how to enter text using the keyboard on your handheld, the onscreen keyboard, or the keyboard attached to your computer, see Chapter 2.

The Edit menu is available with any screen where you enter or edit text. In general, commands available in the Edit menu apply to text that you select (or highlight) in an application.

Tap the beginning of the text that you want to select.
Drag the stylus over the text to highlight it. You can drag across the text to select additional words, or drag down to select a group of lines.

Tip: To select a word, double-tap the word. To select a whole line, triple-tap the line.

The following commands may appear in an Edit menu:

Undo Reverses the action of the

last edit command. For example, if you used

Cut to remove text, Undo restores the text you removed. Undo also reverses deletions done by using backspace.

Cut Removes the selected text and stores it temporarily in the memory of your

handheld. You can paste the text you cut into another area of the current application or into a different application.

Copy Copies the selected text and stores it temporarily in the memory of your handheld. You can paste the text that you copy into another area of the current application or into a different application.

Paste Inserts the text that you cut or copied at the selected point in a record. The text you paste replaces any selected text. If you did not previously cut or copy text, Paste does nothing.

Select All Selects all of the text in the current record or screen. This enables you to cut or copy all of the text and paste it elsewhere.

Keyboard Opens the onscreen keyboard. When you finish with the onscreen keyboard, hold Option and press Return to finish.

Keyboard Help Opens screens that show many keyboard shortcuts and the base characters associated with symbols and other extended characters. Use this command anytime you need forget how to do something with the keyboard.

To delete a record in any of the PIM applications:

Select the record you want to delete.
Press Menu .
Under Record, select the Delete command:

Date Book Plus: Delete Event

Contacts: Delete Contact

To Do List: Delete Item

Memo Pad: Delete Memo

Expense: Delete Item

A confirmation dialog box appears. If you want to save a copy of the deleted item to an archive file in Palm Desktop software, be sure that the check box is checked. If you don't want to save a copy, tap the check box to remove the check.

Hold Option and press Return to finish.

If you choose to save a copy of the selected item, your handheld transfers it to the archive file on your desktop the next time you perform a HotSync operation.

You can also delete records in the following ways:

- In the Details dialog box of the application, tap Delete, and then hold Option and press Return to finish.

■ Delete the text of the record.

Note: In Date Book Plus, if you delete the text of a repeating event, you delete all instances of that event.

Over time, as you use Date Book Plus, To Do List, and Expense, you'll accumulate records in these applications that have outlived their usefulness. For example, events that occurred months ago remain in the Date Book Plus, and To Do items that you marked as completed remain in the list, as do Expense items.

All these outdated records take up memory on your handheld, so it's a good idea to remove them by using Purge. If you think Date Book Plus or To Do List records might prove useful later, you can purge them from your handheld and save them in an archive file.

Purging is not available in Contacts or Memo Pad, so delete outdated records from these applications individually.

Open the application.
Press Menu .
Under Record, select Purge (/E).

A confirmation dialog box appears.

Date Book Plus: Tap the pick list and select how old a record must be to be purged. Purge deletes repeating events if the last of the series ends before the date that you purge records.

Date Book Plus, To Do List: If you want to save a copy of the purged records to an archive file on your desktop, be sure that the check box is checked. If you don't want to save a copy, tap the check box to remove the check box.

Hold Option and press Return to finish.

If you chose to save a copy of the purged records, your handheld transfers them to an archive file on your desktop the next time you perform a HotSync operation.

Note: Purging does not happen automatically. You must use the Purge command to make it happen.

Categorize records in Contacts, To Do List, Memo Pad, and Expense applications so that they are grouped logically and are easy to review. (You can also categorize applications. See page 37 for details.)

When you create a record, your handheld automatically places it in the category that is currently displayed. If the category is All, your handheld assigns it to the Unfiled category. You can leave an entry as Unfiled or assign it to a category at any time.

By default, your handheld includes system-defined categories, such as All and Unfiled, and user-defined categories, such as Business and Personal.

You cannot modify the system-defined categories, but you can rename and delete the user-defined categories. In addition, you can create your own user-defined categories. You can have a maximum of 15 user-defined categories in each application.

Contacts contains the QuickList user-defined category, in which you can store the names, addresses, and phone numbers you might need in emergencies (doctor, fire department, lawyer, etc.).

Expense contains two user-defined categories, New York and Paris, to show how you might sort your expenses for different business trips.

Note: The illustrations in this section come from Memo Pad, but you can use these procedures in all the applications in which categories are available. Categories are not available in Date Book Plus.

Open the record you want to categorize.
In Contacts: Press Menu, and under Record, select Edit Contact (/E).
In the record view, tap the Category list to display the list of available categories.

Your handheld offers several ways to find information quickly:

■ All applications: The Find utility locates any text that you specify, always starting with the current application.
■ Date Book Plus, To Do List, Memo Pad: The Phone Number Lookup feature displays the Contacts list and shows names and phone numbers for entries that have phone numbers. You can add the information that appears in this list to a record.

■ Contacts: The Instant Lookup feature lets you scroll immediately to a Contacts entry by entering the first few letters of a first or last name, or the first name initial and the first few letters of a last name.

■ Expense: The Lookup feature displays the Contacts entries that have data in the Company field. You can add these names to a list of attendees associated with an Expense record.

When working with Contacts, the buttons on your handheld make it easy to navigate among your Contacts entries.

In the Contacts list screen, the scroll buttons move the highlight. Holding Shift and using the scroll buttons moves up or down an entire screen of records. If you press and hold a scroll button, you accelerate the scrolling.

■ In the Contact View screen, the scroll buttons move to the previous or next Contacts record.

The HotSync process automatically synchronizes — that is, exchanges and updates — data between your handheld and desktop software. Changes you make on your handheld or desktop software appear in both places after a HotSync operation. HotSync technology synchronizes only the needed portions of files, thus reducing synchronization time. You can synchronize your data directly by connecting your handheld to your computer with the HotSync cable or by beaming the data from the IR port on your handheld to the IR port on your computer, or indirectly with a modem or network. See Chapter 8 for information about performing HotSync operations via the IR port, a modem, or a network.

The first time you synchronize your data, you need to enter user information on both the handheld and Palm Desktop software. After you enter this information and synchronize, the HotSync Manager recognizes your handheld and doesn't ask for this information again.

If you are a System Administrator preparing several handhelds for a group of users, you may want to create a user profile. See the section that begins on page 171 before performing the following steps.

Important: You must use the HotSync cable for your first HotSync operation.

The following steps assume that you have already installed the Palm Desktop software. If you have not installed this software, see page 24 for instructions.

Connect your handheld to the Hotsync cable. See the section that begins on page 23 for details.
If the HotSync Manager is not running, start it: On the Windows desktop, click Start, and then choose Programs. Navigate to the Handspring (or Palm) program group and choose HotSync Manager. Alternatively, you can start the Palm Desktop software which automatically opens the HotSync Manager.
Press the HotSync button on the cable.

HotSync button

Important: The first time you perform a HotSync operation, you must enter a user name in the New User dialog box and click OK. Every handheld should have a unique name. To prevent loss of a user's records, never try to synchronize more than one handheld to the same user name.

From the Select User dialog box, choose the user name you assigned to your handheld.

The HotSync Progress dialog box appears and synchronization begins.

HotSync Progress Status Synchronizing Mail User Arthur Mardi Cancel

Wait for a message on your handheld indicating that the process is complete.

After the HotSync process is complete, you can remove the cable from your handheld.

Your handheld is equipped with an IR (infrared) port that you can use to beam information to another Palm OS® device that's close by and also has an IR port. The IR port is located on the top of your handheld, between the expansion slot and the stylus, behind the small dark shield.

You can beam the following information between Palm OS devices:

■ The record currently displayed in Date Book Plus, Contacts, To Do List, or Memo Pad
■ All records of the category currently displayed in Contacts, To Do List, or Memo Pad
■ A special record in Contacts that you designate as your personal business card, containing information you want to exchange with business contacts
■ An application installed in RAM memory

You can also use the infrared port to perform HotSync operations. See the section that begins on page 160 for details.

In Contacts, create an entry that contains the information you want on your personal business card.
Press Menu .
Under Record, select Select Business Card.
Hold Option and press Return for Yes.

To beam a record, business card, or category of records:

Locate the record, business card, or category you want to beam.
Press Menu .
Under Record, select one of the following:

■ The Beam command for an individual record (/B)
■ In Contacts only: Beam Business Card (/M)
■ Beam Category (/Y)

When the Beam Status dialog box appears, point the IR port directly at the IR port of the receiving handheld.

Tip: For best results, the path between the two handhelds must be clear of obstacles. If you have difficulty beaming information, see the troubleshooting tips that begin on page 223.

A record in Date Book Plus is called an “event.” An event can be any kind of activity that you associate with a day. You can enter a new event on any of the available time lines. When you schedule an event, its description appears on the time line, and its duration is automatically set to one hour. You can easily change the start time and duration for any event.

Note: It's possible to schedule events that overlap, but Date Book Plus makes it easy to find such conflicts. See page 93 for details.

You can also schedule events that occur on a particular date but have no specific start or end times, such as birthdays, holidays, and anniversaries. These are referred to as “untimed events.” Untimed events appear at the top of the list of times, marked with a diamond. You can have more than one untimed event on a particular date.

You can also schedule a repeating event, such as a weekly meeting, and continuous events, such as a three-day conference or a vacation.

Keep the following points in mind:

If you change the start date of a repeating event, your handheld calculates the number of days you moved the event. Your handheld then automatically changes the end date to maintain the duration of the repeating event.
If you change the repeat interval (e.g., daily to weekly) of a repeating event, past occurrences (prior to the day on which you change the setting) are not changed, and your handheld creates a new repeating event.
If you change the date of an occurrence of a repeating event (e.g., from January 14th to January 15th) and apply the change to All occurrences, the new date becomes the start date of the repeating event. Your handheld adjusts the end date to maintain the duration of the event. If you apply the change to Current or Future occurrences, past occurrences (prior to the day on which you change the setting) are not changed.
If you change other repeat settings (e.g., time, alarm, private) of a repeating event and apply the change to Future occurrences, your handheld creates a new event. The start date of this new event is the day on which the setting is changed. Past occurrences (prior to the day of the change) are not changed.
If you apply a change to a single occurrence of a repeating event (e.g., time), that occurrence no longer shows the Repeat icon

In addition to displaying the calendar for a specific day, you can also display a whole week in graph or text format, a month, a year, or a list of your appointments, as well as the current time.

Date Book Plus can include events that are a combination of a To Do item and a Date Book event. These events are called “floating events.” Floating events are not assigned to a specific date, but can still be timed or untimed, can have alarms, and can repeat. If a floating event is not completed by midnight, it automatically advances to the next day until you mark it complete.

You can distinguish a floating event from an integrated To Do item by the circle that appears next to the floating event (in place of the To Do item priority number and check box). Floating events appear in alphabetical order at the top of the Day View screen between any integrated To Do items and untimed events.

From the Day View, press Menu .
Under Record, select New Floating Event (/I).
Enter a description of the event.
Tap a blank area on the screen to deselect the floating event.

■ Tap the circle to the right or left of the event.

■ To prioritize floating events, enter a number followed by a space or dash as the first few characters of the description.
■ To convert an existing event to a floating event, select the event, tap Details, tap Float as the Type, and then hold Option and press Return to finish.
- When you complete a repeating floating event, it marks only the current occurrence of the event as complete.

Avoid scheduling a floating event that repeats daily. These events can accumulate quickly unless you complete them each day.
When viewing a floating event in a desktop application, the Note field will contain a series of characters: ##f@@@@@ for an incomplete event and ##c@@@@@ for a complete event. Do not remove or edit these characters.

Date Book Plus can create and display To Do items. To Do items appear in priority order at the top of the Day View screen.

From the Day View, press Menu .
Under Record, select New To Do (/T).
Enter a description of the To Do item.
Tap a blank area on the screen to deselect the item.

■ Tap the check box next to the item.

When you create a To Do item in Date Book Plus, the priority and category are based on the settings in the Create Options dialog box. See the section that begins on page 100 for details.
If a To Do item does not appear in Date Book Plus, confirm that the category assigned to the item is selected. See the section that begins on page 100 for details.
■ If you do not complete a To Do item on or before the due date, then an ! (exclamation mark) appears next to the item as a reminder that it is overdue.

You can use the Daily Journal feature to record events as they occur. Events are recorded with automatic time-stamping as Date Book Plus Notes so they do not clutter your schedule. The Daily Journal is especially useful for tracking activities such as sales calls, start and end times for consulting or other work, or keeping a record of how you spend your time at the office.

From the Day View, press Menu .
Under Record, select New Journal Entry (/J).

Date Book Plus creates an untimed event, opens a Note for this event, and inserts the current time. If you've already started a journal for the current day, Date Book Plus opens the existing journal and inserts a new entry.

Enter a description for the journal entry.
Hold Option and press Return to finish.

You can use templates to create a list of standard events. You can then select an event from this list and add it to your calendar. Since Date Book Plus saves all the event attributes, including alarms and notes, templates can really save you time when entering reminder notices or events that recur on different days and times.

Select the event you want to save as a template.
Press Menu .
Under Record, select tap Create Template (/V).
Hold Option and press Return to finish.

Select the date on which you want to schedule the event.
From the Day View, tap the time line that corresponds to the beginning of the event.
Tap New and select Template from the list.

Calculator includes two operating modes: Basic and Advanced. In Basic mode you can perform simple mathematical calculations. Basic mode uses input precedence, like most 4-function calculators, and the order of the numbers entered results in an answer regardless of operation. In Advanced mode you can access scientific functions and perform sophisticated math calculations. The Advanced mode uses algebraic precedence, like most scientific calculators, and the results differ depending on the rules associated with the algebraic equation. This section explains how to select the operating mode and use the buttons and menu options available in each mode.

Finance buttons enable you to find an unknown variable value based on a group of known variable values. For example, to calculate the monthly payment for a 30-year home loan of \$100,000 with an annual interest rate of 8%, you would enter the following variables:

■ Payments/year = 12
■ N = 360 (30 years x 12 months)
■ APR = 8
■ PV = 100,000
■ FV = 0

Using these variables, the answer would be -733.76 per month.

Enter a value and then tap the corresponding variable button. Repeat this process until you've entered the following four variables:

■ N = 360 (30 years x 12 months)
■ APR = 8

■ PV = 100,000
■ FV = 0

Enter 12 and tap the P/Yr button to enter the number of payments per year.
Tap Edit.
Tap the Pmt line and erase all values on the line including zero.
Tap Solve.
Hold Option and press Return to finish.

You can use a similar process to solve other financial equations by entering four of the variables to find the value of the fifth variable.

When you select the Phone field, your handheld opens a dialog box in which you define the telephone number you use to connect with your ISP or dial-in server. In addition, you can also define a prefix, disable Call Waiting, and give special instructions for using a calling card.

Note: The Phone Setup dialog box works correctly for AT&T and Sprint long-distance services. However, because MCI works differently, MCI customers need to put the calling card number in the Phone # field and the phone number in the Use calling card field.

To enter your server phone number:

Tap the Phone field.
Enter the phone number you use to reach your ISP or dial-in server.

Phone Setup Phone #: ____ Dial prefix: 9 Disable call waiting: 1170. Use calling card: OK Cancel Enter your ISP phone number here

If you need to enter a prefix or disable Call Waiting, skip to those procedures. Otherwise, hold Option and press Return to finish.

Hold Option and press Return to finish.

The Use calling card field enables you to use your calling card when dialing your ISP or Intranet server. Keep in mind that there is usually a delay before you enter your calling card number. When you define your calling card number, you need to add commas at the beginning to compensate for this delay. Each comma delays transmission of your calling card number for two seconds.

Tap the Use calling card check box to select it.

Phone Setup Phone #: ------------------ □ Dial prefix: 9. □ Disable call waiting: 1170. □ Use calling card: OK Cancel Enter your calling card number here

Enter your calling card number on the Use calling card line.

Note: It's a good idea to add at least three commas at the beginning of your calling card number to compensate for the cue delay.

Tip: MCI customers must enter the calling card number in the Phone # field, and the phone number in the Use Calling Card field.

Hold Option and press Return to finish.

For each application, you can define a set of options that determines how records are handled during synchronization. These options are called a "conduit." By default, a HotSync operation synchronizes all files between the handheld and your desktop software.

In general, you should leave the settings to synchronize all files. The only reason you might want to change these settings is to overwrite data on either your handheld or your desktop software, or to avoid synchronizing a particular type of file because you don't use it.

In addition to the conduits for the applications on your handheld, HotSync Manager includes System and Install conduits. The System conduit backs up the system information stored on your handheld, including keyboard ShortCuts. The Install conduit installs applications on your handheld.

Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray (bottom-right corner of the taskbar).

Tip: You can also click the HotSync command on the Palm Desktop software menu bar.

Your handheld is equipped with an infrared (IR) port that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the standards for infrared communication established by the Infrared Data Association (IrDA). This means that you can beam data to any other device that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA standards. Most importantly, you can use the IR port to perform HotSync operations. When you use the IR port on your handheld to perform HotSync operations, you don't need your HotSync cable. You simply enable infrared communication on your computer and your handheld and then perform an IR HotSync operation. So there's no need to carry your cable when you're on the road with an infrared-enabled laptop.

To perform an IR HotSync operation, the computer you want to synchronize with must have an enabled infrared port or be connected to an infrared device that supports the IrCOMM implementation of the IrDA standards.

Desktop computers are likely to require an infrared device attached to a physical COM port. Laptops are likely to have a built-in IR port. Your computer must also have an installed infrared driver.

If your computer uses Microsoft Windows 98, Windows Me, Windows 2000, or Windows XP, infrared communication is built into the operating system. Some versions of Windows 95 also have built-in infrared communication. If you are using another type of computer, check the documentation that came with your computer to see if it supports infrared communication.

To check the ports used for infrared communication with Windows 98 and Me:

In the Windows taskbar click Start, choose Settings, and then choose Control Panel.
Double-click the Infrared icon.

Note: If you do not see the Infrared icon, you need to install an infrared driver.

Click the Options tab.
Select Enable infrared communication.

The COM port displayed on this screen is the port associated with your infrared device. It should be different from the port currently defined for cable synchronization.

Write down the port listed as "Providing application support" so you can configure HotSync Manager for infrared communication.

This port is the simulated port. It is the channel through which the actual infrared communication takes place between your computer and your handheld.

Deselect all other check boxes in the Options tab.
Click Apply and then click OK.

To enable infrared communication with Windows 2000 and Windows XP:

Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray (bottom-right corner of the taskbar).
Choose Exit to close HotSync Manager.
In the Windows taskbar click Start, choose Settings, and then choose Control Panel.

Click OK.
Disable any other application that opens the IR port.

Next you need to go to the HotSync Manager and configure it for infrared communication. In Windows 98 and Me, you need to specify the simulated port used for infrared communication. In Windows 2000 and Windows XP, you simply need to activate the infrared menu item.

To configure HotSync Manager for infrared communication with Windows 98 and Me:

Click the HotSync Manager icon in the Windows system tray.

The next time you want to perform a HotSync operation just press the HotSync button on the cable. You can leave the HotSync application on your handheld set to perform IR HotSync operations and still use the cable. This is useful if you perform HotSync operations with both your desktop computer and a laptop. When you are in the office just connect your handheld to the cable and press the HotSync button. When you travel, you don't have to carry a cable.

You can use a modem to synchronize your handheld when you are away from your computer. The modem can be located on an expansion card, or inside a mobile phone that you connect to your handheld.

Note: The first HotSync operation must be local, using the cable. After that, you can perform a modem HotSync operation.

To perform a modem HotSync operation you must complete the following steps:

■ Connect a modem to your computer
■ Configure HotSync Manager for use with your modem
■ Connect a modem to your handheld
■ Configure the Modem Preferences on your handheld for use with your modem

There are a few steps you must perform to prepare your computer for a modem HotSync operation. Be sure to perform these steps before you leave your office so that your computer is ready to receive a call from your handheld.

Confirm that the computer modem is connected and turned on, and that no communications applications, such as fax or telephony software, are running on a COM port.

Note: Make sure the computer is disconnected from all online services, such as America Online (AOL) and CompuServe. This helps to avoid conflicts with the COM port.

When you use the Network HotSync software, you can take advantage of the Local Area Network (LAN) and Wide Area Network (WAN) connectivity available in many office environments. The Network HotSync software enables you to perform a HotSync operation by using the WAN to dial-in to a network or by using a cable that is connected to any computer on your LAN (provided that the computer connected to the cable also has the Network HotSync software installed, your computer is on, and the HotSync Manager is running).

The Network HotSync software requires the following:

■ Your computer has TCP/IP support installed.
- Both your company's network system and its remote access server support TCP/IP. (Your System Administrator has this information.)
- You have a remote access account. (If you don't have an account, consult your System Administrator.)

Palm™ Mail is an application that lets you synchronize with the e-mail application on your desktop computer. You can read, reply to, compose, and delete e-mail on your handheld. To send or receive e-mail, you simply perform a HotSync operation either locally, using the HotSync cable or the infrared port on your handheld, or remotely, using an optional modem or a network as described earlier in this chapter.

The key to Palm Mail is that it truly synchronizes the mail in the Inbox of your desktop e-mail application with the mail on your handheld. For example, if you delete e-mail items from Palm Mail, your next HotSync operation also deletes the e-mail items from your desktop e-mail application, so you never have to delete e-mail items twice. Similarly, if you read an e-mail item on your handheld and leave it in your Inbox, your next HotSync operation marks it as read in your desktop e-mail application.

In Palm Mail, you can do the following:

■ View, delete, file, and reply to incoming mail.
■ Create outgoing e-mail items and drafts of e-mail items.
■ Create simple or complex filters, which allow you to decide the type of e-mail that your handheld retrieves from your desktop E-mail application.
■ Use your handheld and its HotSync cable or with infrared communication to send and retrieve e-mail items from your desktop e-mail application.

Before you use Palm Mail for the first time, make sure your desktop e-mail application is up and running. You must also set up Palm Desktop software for use with your desktop e-mail application.

Palm Mail supports a number of Windows desktop e-mail applications, such as Microsoft Outlook (version 4.0 or higher), QUALCOMM Eudora (version 3.0.3 or higher), and Lotus cc:Mail (versions 2.5, 6.0, and 7.0). You can see the full list of the supported applications when you set up Palm Mail.

If your desktop e-mail application does not appear on the list, you may still be able to manage your desktop e-mail application from your handheld by means of special connection software, called a conduit, that lets you synchronize your desktop e-mail application and your handheld. Contact the vendor of your e-mail application or visit the web site www.handspring.com for more information.

Note: The following instructions assume that you have already installed Palm Desktop software on your computer and that you did not set up Palm Mail during the installation. If you have not yet installed Palm Desktop software, install it now.

You can make changes to an e-mail that has not yet been sent, as long as you have not yet performed a HotSync operation. When you edit an e-mail item, your handheld removes the item from the Outbox folder and takes you back to the New Message screen, where you can edit the item and resend it, save it as a draft, or delete it.

In the Message list, tap Outbox from the pick list in the upper-right corner.

Tap Edit.

Sometimes you may not want to send an e-mail item immediately; for example, you may want to add additional information before sending it. Your handheld stores such e-mail items in the Draft folder until you are ready to edit them again.

Note: When you're creating or editing an e-mail item, you can also save the item as a draft by canceling it. When you cancel an item, your handheld opens a dialog asking if you want to save the e-mail item. If you tap Yes, your handheld saves the item in the Draft folder.

Create an e-mail item.
Press Menu .
Under Message, select Save Draft (/W).

In the Message list, tap Draft from the pick list in the upper-right corner.
Use the scroll buttons to select the draft you want to display.

Tap Edit.
Enter your changes; then either save the e-mail item again as a draft, or tap Send to move the item to your Outbox folder.

Your handheld can store e-mail you receive or create in the Filed folder. The contents of this folder do not automatically synchronize with your desktop e-mail application during a HotSync operation. Your handheld, however, stores a backup copy of the Filed folder on your computer hard disk.

Open an e-mail item.
Press Menu .
Under Message, select File (/I).
Tap No to save the e-mail item and move it to the Filed folder, or tap Yes to file the item and keep a copy in the Inbox.

In the Message list, tap Filed from the pick list in the upper-right corner.
Tap the e-mail item you want to restore.
Tap Edit to display and modify the item.

Tip: After you display and modify the e-mail item, you can send it, save it as a draft, or return it to the Filed folder.

Your handheld stores deleted e-mail in the Deleted folder until you perform the next HotSync operation. If you delete an e-mail item from the handheld, it is also deleted from your desktop e-mail application when you perform the next HotSync operation.

Open the e-mail item you want to delete.
Tap Delete.
If you selected the Preferences option to confirm deletion, tap Yes.

You can reverse the deletion of an e-mail item (by removing it from the Deleted folder) as long as you have not performed a HotSync operation or purged the contents of the Deleted folder.

In the Message list, tap Deleted from the pick list in the upper-right corner.
Tap the e-mail item you want to restore.
Tap Undelete to move the selected item to the Inbox and mark it as read.

In the Message list, tap Deleted from the pick list in the upper-right corner.
Tap the e-mail item you want to restore.
Tap Edit to display and modify the item.

Note: After you display and modify the e-mail item, you can send it or save it as a draft.

Because your handheld stores deleted e-mail in the Deleted folder until you perform a HotSync operation, deleted e-mail can monopolize storage space. To avoid or correct this problem, purge the contents of your Deleted folder. E-mail that you purge is still deleted from your desktop e-mail application when you perform the next HotSync operation.

Press Menu .
Under Message, select Purge Deleted (/E).
Tap Yes.

Note: You cannot restore e-mail items after you purge them.

Message list options enable you to manage the way the Message list displays information.

Your handheld provides folders for categorizing your mail. The Message list displays the e-mail items in the folder you select.

Tap the pick list in the upper-right corner to open the list of folders:

Inbox Contains the e-mail from your desktop e-mail application Inbox, minus any that you have excluded using filtering options. See page 187 for details.

Outbox Contains the e-mail you created and sent on the handheld since the last HotSync operation.

Deleted Contains the e-mail you deleted since the last HotSync operation.

Filed Contains the e-mail you want to store on the handheld.

Draft Contains the e-mail you created using the handheld but are not yet ready to send.

Select the folder you want to display in the Message list screen.

The Date column is optional in the Message list. By default, the Date column is hidden to increase the available screen space.

In the Message list, tap Show.

Hold Option and press Return to finish.

Palm Mail's HotSync options enable you to manage your e-mail more effectively by selecting which e-mail items download when you synchronize your computer and your handheld. You can define different settings for local and remote synchronization. For example, you may want to download all of your e-mail during local synchronization and only urgent e-mail during remote synchronization. Once defined, your handheld determines if synchronization is occurring locally or remotely and uses the appropriate settings for the HotSync operation.

Note: The default setting is All. So, if your e-mail Inbox has lots of messages, synchronization could be time consuming.

Press Menu .
Under Options, select HotSync Options (/H).
Tap the Settings for pick list and select Local HotSync or Remote HotSync.

Tap the filtering option you want to apply:

All During synchronization, all e-mail items in your desktop e-mail Inbox synchronize with your handheld, and all e-mail items in your handheld Outbox are sent to your desktop E-Mail application.

Send Only During synchronization, only the e-mail items in your handheld Outbox are sent to your desktop e-mail application; from there, they are sent to their destinations.

Filter During synchronization, all e-mail items in your handheld Outbox are sent to your desktop E-Mail application, and items in your desktop E-Mail Inbox that meet specific criteria download to your handheld. When you select the Filter setting, the HotSync Options dialog box opens and displays additional filter settings. See page 187 for details.

Unread During synchronization, only unread e-mail items download to your handheld from your desktop e-mail Inbox, and all items in your handheld Outbox are sent to your desktop e-mail application.

Note: The All setting does not mean that all information included in each e-mail item downloads to your handheld. Truncation settings (explained in a following section) for long e-mail items still apply. Also, Palm Mail never downloads any attachments to your handheld. The e-mail item and any text information appear, but the attachment is left in your desktop e-mail application.

If you selected All, Send only, or Unread, Hold Option and press Return to finish. If you selected Filter, continue to the next section.

You can create special filters to control the type of e-mail items that download to your handheld during synchronization. Special filters work on the premise of ignoring or retrieving items that contain specific information in their header fields.

To create a special filter, you must decide whether you want to ignore or retrieve certain e-mail items. Then, based on that decision, you must tell your handheld what it needs to look for in the To:, From:, and Subj: fields to single out those e-mail items.

To access the special filter settings:

■ Tap the Filter box in the HotSync Options dialog box.

The first step in establishing a special filter is to determine whether you want to ignore or retrieve e-mail that matches the information you specify.

To define whether to ignore or receive e-mail:

- Tap the pick list in the center of the HotSync Options dialog box and select one of the following settings:

Tells your handheld to exclude the e-mail items that meet the criteria you define and download all other e-mail items during synchronization. In general, this filter downloads more e-mail during synchronization because it blocks only one defined subset of e-mail.

Tells your handheld to include only the e-mail items that meet the criteria you define and to ignore all other e-mail items during synchronization. This filter has the potential to block more e-mail during synchronization because it downloads only one subset of e-mail.

E-mail items are filtered based on the information contained in their To:, From:, and Subj: fields. The information that defines what your handheld is looking for is called a filter string. You create a filter string by listing the words you want your handheld to find and separating them with either a comma or a space. Each word in the filter string is joined by an implicit OR, so you do not need to enter logical connectors like AND or OR.

To create a more complex filter, you can define filter strings for the To:, From:, and Subj: fields simultaneously. Your handheld joins the filter strings for these fields using an implicit AND; once again, you do not need to add the logical connector. Your handheld does that for you.

For example, suppose you want to receive only e-mail items from John Smith (jsmith@aol.com) or Jack Jones (jjones@aol.com) concerning the Apollo Project. You would create the following filter strings:

In the To: field: jsmith@aol.com, jjones@aol.com

In the Subj: field: Apollo Project

Your handheld interprets this as, "Accept e-mail items about the Apollo Project from John Smith or Jack Jones. Do not accept e-mail items from other people. Do not accept e-mail items from John or Jack about any other subject."

When you define a string, note that your handheld searches for any instance of that sequence of characters. For example, if you create a filter that retrieves only e-mail items containing the string "info," your handheld considers "info," "rainforest" and "kinfolk" appropriate matches.

Tap a header field in the HotSync Options dialog box.

Enter your filter string, using commas or spaces to separate the words. Do not add connectors, such as AND or OR, between words in a string.
If your string exceeds the length of the field, tap the name of the field to display the Notes screen for that header field. For more information about header field Notes screens, see page 176 for details.

HotSync Options Settings for: ▼ Local HotSync All Send only Filter Unread ✓ Retrieve All High Priority ▼ Ignore Messages Containing To: ________ From: ________ Subj: ________ OK Cancel Truncate... Enter filter data Tap here To: joe@isp.com Done Lookup

Hold Option and press Return twice to finish.

The Retrieve All High Priority setting lets you retrieve e-mail items marked high-priority, even if those items would have been blocked by a defined filter.

Tap the Filter box in the HotSync Options dialog box.
Tap the Retrieve All High Priority check box to select it.

HotSync Options Settings for: ▼ Local HotSync All Send only Filter Unread Retrieve All High Priority Ignore Messages Containing To: ________ From: ________ Subj: ________ OK Cancel Truncate...

Hold Option and press Return to finish.

Note: This setting is applicable only if your e-mail application has the capacity to flag high-priority e-mail items.

The Truncate feature lets you set a point at which long e-mail items truncate when downloading to your handheld. By default, this Truncate value is 4,000 characters. By truncating long messages, you reduce the time it takes to synchronize your desktop e-mail and Palm Mail, as well as the amount of storage space e-mail uses on your handheld.

Note: Truncation is separate and independent from filtering.

Tap Truncate in the HotSync Options dialog box.

HotSync Options Settings for: ▼ Local HotSync All Send only Filter Unread All messages will be syn- chronized between the handheld and the remote email system. OK Cancel Truncate... Tap Truncate Tap to select maximum length Truncate Options Truncate message after: 250 characters 500 characters 1000 characters 2000 characters 4000 characters 6000 characters 8000 characters OK Cancel

Tap to select the truncation setting you want.

Tip: If you select the maximum setting, messages can be 8,000 characters; longer messages are truncated. If you select a lower value, you'll have more room for e-mail items.

Hold Option and press Return to finish.

About Mail Shows version information for Palm Mail.

This chapter provides information on how to use the applications and features that are specific to wireless data communication. The Wireless Application Suite includes the Blazer web browser, Palm SMS text messaging, and One-Touch Mail™ by JP Mobile e-mail application.

To use the Wireless Application Suite, you must have the following:

■ A data-enabled mobile phone that is equipped with an IR port or a special cable that enables you to connects your mobile phone to your handheld.
■ A wireless service provider that supports data services and it must be part of your service package (some wireless service providers may require you to sign up for data services separately).
■ An account established with an ISP (Internet Service Provider). Many wireless service providers also provide ISP services. If ISP information is available from your wireless service provider when you configure your wireless communication settings with the Handspring CD-ROM, the installation program sets up your handheld for use with that provider.

Insert the Handspring CD into the CD-ROM drive on your computer.
Complete step 1 of the installation process to install the synchronization software.
Proceed to step 2 of the installation process to install the Wireless Application Suite.
Follow the onscreen instructions to install the components you want to use.

After you install the Wireless Applications Suite software, you're ready to connect your handheld to your mobile phone and use it for mobile communication. You can connect your handheld and your mobile phone using infrared communication, or using a special cable.

To connect your handheld to your mobile phone with infrared communication:

Make sure infrared communication is enabled on your mobile phone.
Align the IR port on your handheld with the IR port on your mobile phone.

If you can't hold the world in the palm of your hand, at least you can hold the World Wide Web when you use Blazer to browse the Internet on your handheld's screen.

In Blazer, you can do the following:

■ Access the World Wide Web and display Internet content.
■ Create up to 100 bookmarks for quick and convenient access to your favorite web sites.
- Navigate between web pages with familiar toolbar icons.

To use Blazer, you must subscribe to data services from your wireless service provider, and you must have an account established with an ISP (Internet Service Provider). Many wireless service providers also provide ISP services. If ISP information is available from your wireless service provider when you configure your wireless communication settings with the Handspring CD-ROM, the installation program will set up Blazer for use with that provider.

Note: If you already installed the desktop software from the Handspring CD-ROM but didn't configure the wireless communication settings, select Configure Wireless Suite under Handspring (or Palm) on the Windows Start menu, and follow the instructions on the screen.

You can view web pages whenever you connect to your mobile phone via the IR port or a special cable. If you are outside a coverage area, you can view web pages that are stored temporarily on your handheld in an area called the “cache.” However, if a page stored in the cache has an expiration date and it is past that date, you need to establish an Internet connection to view that page.

Prepare your handheld and mobile phone for data communications. See page 194 for details.

Palm™ SMS provides a way for you to use your Treo and a GSM mobile phone to exchange short text messages with other people who also use GSM mobile phones and subscribe to an SMS service. These text messages, also called SMS (Short Message Service) messages, are similar to e-mail messages that you send and receive from your computer, but are limited to 160 characters in length. In addition to sending text, you can use Palm SMS to send and receive records from your handheld applications as an SMS message. Sending a record is similar to sending attachments with an e-mail message, but in the case of SMS, the data becomes the message, it isn't something extra you send with a text message.

In Palm SMS, you can do the following:

■ Send and receive short text messages.
- Read incoming messages directly from the Inbox.
■ Review messages you sent in the Sent folder.

■ Send data from other applications including Contacts, Date Book Plus, Memo Pad, and To Do List

Note: The person receiving your SMS message must also have a GSM mobile phone and a wireless service provider that supports text messages. Some wireless service providers may use a different name for their text messaging service. Contact your GSM wireless service provider to see if their service is compatible with SMS.

Press Option and then press Menu to access the Applications Launcher.
Use the scroll buttons to select the Palm SMS icon .
Press Return to launch the application.

About SMS Shows version information for Palm SMS.

One-Touch Mail is a wireless e-mail application that enables you to access your ISP (POP3 account) e-mail directly from your handheld by using your data-enabled mobile phone to access the Internet. You may also be able to use One-Touch Mail to access your corporate e-mail; contact your System Administrator for assistance.

To install One-Touch Mail, do one of the following:

■ Select the One-Touch Mail option when you configure the wireless communication features using the Handspring CD-ROM.

If you already installed the desktop software from the Handspring CD-ROM but didn't install this application, select Configure Wireless Suite under Programs/Handspring (or Palm) on the Windows Start menu, and then select One Touch Mail when prompted to select an application to install.

For instructions on how to use One-Touch Mail, refer to the One-Touch Mail .PDF file located inside the Handspring\Wireless Suite\One-Touch Mail folder on your computer.

This chapter provides information on the following:

■ Proper care of your Treo™ 90 handheld
■ Maximizing battery life
■ Resetting your handheld

Your handheld is designed to be rugged and reliable and to provide years of trouble-free service. Please observe the following general tips when using your handheld:

■ Take care not to scratch the screen of your handheld. Keep the screen clean. When working with your handheld, use the supplied stylus or plastic-tipped pens intended for use with a touch-sensitive screen. Never use an actual pen or pencil or other sharp object on the surface of the handheld screen.
- Your handheld is not waterproof and should not be exposed to rain or moisture. Under extreme conditions, water may enter the circuitry through the front panel buttons. In general, treat your handheld as you would a pocket calculator or other small electronic instrument.
■ The touch-sensitive screen of your handheld contains a glass element. Take care not to drop your handheld or subject it to any strong impact. Do not carry your handheld in your back pocket: if you sit on it, the glass may break.
■ Protect your handheld from temperature extremes. Do not leave your handheld on the dashboard of a car on a hot day, and keep it away from heaters and other heat sources.
■ Do not store or use your handheld in any location that is extremely dusty, damp, or wet.
■ Use a soft, damp cloth to clean your handheld. If the surface of the handheld screen becomes soiled, clean it with a soft cloth moistened with a diluted window-cleaning solution.

Please note the following considerations when using the rechargeable battery in your handheld:

- Your handheld battery provides approximately 10 days of use between charges.

- You can conserve battery life by reducing the brightness of the backlight feature and by choosing a lower Auto-off setting which automatically turns the handheld off after a period of inactivity. See page 141 and page 16 for more information.

If the battery becomes low in the course of normal use, an alert appears on the handheld screen describing the low battery condition. If this alert appears, connect your handheld to the HotSync cable or travel charger to charge the battery.

If the battery drains to the point where your handheld does not turn on, it stores your data safely for about three days. In this case, there is enough residual energy in the battery to store the data, but not enough to turn on your handheld. If your handheld does not turn on when you press the power button, you should charge the battery immediately.

If you leave a drained battery in your handheld for an extended period of time, you can lose all of the stored data. If this happens, charge the battery and then perform a HotSync operation to restore the data from your computer.

Under normal circumstances, you will not have to use the reset button. On rare occasions, however, your handheld may no longer respond to buttons or the screen. In this case, you need to perform a reset to get your handheld running again.

A soft reset tells your handheld to stop what it's doing and start over again. All records and entries stored in your handheld are retained with a soft reset. After a soft reset, the Palm Powered™ screen appears, followed by the Date & Time Preferences screen.

Unscrew the tip of the stylus to access the reset tool.

Reset tool

Use the reset tool to gently press the reset button inside the hole on the back panel of your handheld.

Tip: You can also use the tip of an unfolded paper clip (or similar object without a sharp tip).

■ If you choose to view your memos alphabetically on Palm Desktop software and then perform a HotSync® operation, the memos on your handheld still appear in the order defined in the Memo Preferences setting. In other words, the sort settings that you use with Palm Desktop software are not transferred to your handheld.

In the Week View, you cannot select overlapping events that have the same start time. If you have two or more events with the same start time, choose the Day View for the particular day to see the overlapping events.

Why can't I synchronize my handheld with my computer?

Try each of these in turn. After each step, try to synchronize to see if the problem persists:

■ Make sure you installed the software that came with your handheld. You must install this software even if you upgraded from another Palm OS handheld.
■ Make sure you selected your user name in Palm Desktop software before beginning the HotSync operation.

This section explains how to modify existing Expense application templates and how to create your own custom expense report templates for use with the Expense application.

Note: This section assumes that you are familiar with Microsoft Excel or a similar spreadsheet application. If you are not familiar with Microsoft Excel, consult your company's Information Services department or another experienced user.

Before creating or modifying an Expense template, it's important to understand the function of the Palm™ Desktop software Expense application. In simple terms, the Expense application moves Expense data from your handheld into a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

Each Expense item stored in your handheld represents a group of related data. You can link the following data to an expense item:

Four sample Expense Report templates come with Palm Desktop software. These templates are stored in the Template folder (which is in the same folder as the Palm Desktop software application).

If the layout of one (or more) of these templates is appropriate for your reporting needs, you can easily customize the templates with your company name and other information.

Make a backup copy of the contents of the Template folder.

Template File Edit View Help DataSet3x8 Sample1.x8 Sample2.x8 Sample1.x8 Sample4.x8 Source:014 17:06:23

Double-click the name of the sample template you want to modify to open it in Microsoft Excel.
Make any changes that you want to the names (or other information) in the sample template.

Important: Do not insert rows or columns in the sample template. Doing so changes the way your Expense data maps to the template and causes errors. If you want to move the cells to a different location or add or delete rows or columns, you have to make changes to the Maptable.xls file.

Note: You can insert your own company logo without changing the Maptable.xls file. If you change the file name, however, you need to make a corresponding change in the Maptable.xls file.

You can also rename cells without changing the Maptable.xls file, provided that the expense type corresponds to your handheld data. For example, you can change "Snack" to "Munchies," and then all items entered on your handheld as "Snack" map to the cell(s) labeled "Munchies."

From the File menu, choose Save As.
Click the Save as type drop-down list and choose Template (*.xlt).
Navigate to the Template folder (in the Palm Desktop software directory).

Note: If you do not need to change the Maptable.xls file, save the template file with its original file name (e.g., Sample2.xlt).

If you do need to change the Maptable.xls file, give your modified template a unique name. Be sure to use the .xlt file suffix, which defines the file as a Microsoft Excel template.

Click Save to save your modified template and make it available for future use.

Note: If you need to modify the Maptable.xls file, you must do this before you can use the modified template with your Expense data. To modify the Maptable.xls file for your new template, see page 228 for details. Read all of the sections of this appendix before making changes to the Maptable.xls file.

This section describes the layout considerations for the Expense Report and explains the terms used for creating the report.

There are two kinds of labels that you need to define for your report: day/date and expense type. Each kind of label can be either Fixed or Variable. A Fixed label means that the label always appears as a header at the beginning of a row or column. If a label is not Fixed, it is variable.

For example, a list table of expenses could have variable labels in the rows for day/date, and variable labels in the columns for expense type. In this case, neither day/date or expense type information would be "fixed" (as a header). Instead, the date and expense type information would be filled into the cells of the spreadsheet as appropriate.

Examples of both Fixed and Variable labels appear in the sample expense templates.

A Section is an area of the report that has common formatting. It is common for an Expense report to have more than one Section. For example, the following sample Expense Report named Sample3.xlt contains several Sections.

Because your Expense data maps to row and column areas of your final report, different Sections require different definitions for the data mapping. To create additional Sections with different mapping, you create corresponding additional lines to the mapping table file named Maptable.xls. This procedure is explained later in this appendix.

If a section contains cells for prepaid (company paid) expenses, you need to create an additional line in the mapping table for "prepaid." This will count as an additional section in the mapping table. The only data that differs in the prepaid section (from the non-prepaid section) is the row/column numbers for the expense type.

If you already have a custom Excel expense report, you can use it with a modified mapping table. However, before you can create a Maptable.xls file that corresponds to your custom Expense Report, you must first analyze the characteristics of your report.

Perform the following before you begin a custom mapping table:

Print a copy of your custom expense report. Activate the Row and Column Headings option in the Sheet settings of the Page Setup command. This enables you to quickly determine the size of the Section(s), as well as the numbers for the start rows and columns.
On the printed copy, identify the data Sections. A Section is an area of data with common row and column formatting. A yellow highlighter marking pen can make it easy to see the Sections as you work with programming the mapping table. Your custom Expense Report can contain any number of Sections, and the same data can be repeated in any Section.
On the printed copy, identify the type of Labels that apply to each Section. Each Section can have only one kind of Fixed or Variable Label for rows. Likewise, each Section can have only one kind of Fixed or Variable Label for columns.
Place a copy of your custom Expense Report in the Template folder (in the Palm Desktop software directory). Change the file name so it has the file extension .xlt (which defines it as a Microsoft Excel template). Make a note of the exact file name so it can be defined in the mapping table file.

Once you have analyzed the components of your custom Expense Report, you can program the mapping table to fill the report with data from the handheld.

Open a copy of the Maptable.xls file in Microsoft Excel.

Note: This file is located in the same folder as the Palm Desktop software application. Make a backup copy of this file before you make your modifications.

Mapping a new template. Scroll to where you find the name of the original template that you chose for your modifications. The name of the template will appear in column B of the Maptable.xls file, next to the cell highlighted in green that reads "Template Name:". If you did not modify an existing template, move to any table in the Maptable.xls file.
Select all the rows associated with the template name. To select the rows, click and drag on the row numbers (left side), so they appear highlighted.

From the Edit menu, choose Copy.
Scroll down to a blank area of the Maptable.xls file (below the rows used for Sample4.xlt), and click on a row number to select a blank row.
From the Edit menu, choose Paste. A copy of the rows you selected in step 3 is pasted into the Maptable.xls file.
Name the table. In the cell immediately to the right of the cell entitled Template Name, enter the exact file name of your custom Expense Report template.
Define the number of Sections. Each row in a table defines how your handheld data will be placed in a Section of your custom Expense Report. Note that the prepaid portion of a section has its own row and counts as a separate section for map table purposes, even though it is not a separate section in your template.

22	Template Name	SAMPLE3.XLT
23		ROW
24		Fixed Label
25		Day/Date	Expense Type
26	Main (PREPAID)		×
27	Main		×
28	Business Meals & Entertainment
29	Mileage Log

You may add or delete rows as necessary so that the total number of rows corresponds to the number of Sections in your custom Expense Report. To clear all of the existing settings in a row, click to select the row and press Ctrl+Delete. Name each row to correspond to a Section of your custom Expense Report.

Determine the Label settings. The orientation of the data fields (Row, Column) appears in the yellow section of the table.

FAMPEL1_XLT
ROW				COLUMN
Fixed Label		Variable Label by		Fixed Label		Variable Label by
Day/Date	Expense Type	Day/Date×	Expense Type	Day/Date	Expense Type	Day/Date	Expense Type×

Determine whether the Rows will contain expense or date information, and place an "x" in the appropriate cell. When you do this, you also define whether the label is Fixed or Variable. You can place only one "x" in the Row section (columns 2–5).

Determine whether the Columns will contain expense or date information, and place an "x" in the appropriate cell. When you do this, you also define whether the label is Fixed or Variable. You can place only one "x" in the Column section (columns 6–9).

Define the dimensions of the Section. The dimensions of the Section appear in the green columns (10-13).

Date	Dates	Start day	Day
1	0

In the Date cell, enter the row or column number where all the date information will be placed.

In the Dates cell, enter the number of blank columns (or rows) separating the date fields. If there are no blank columns (or rows) between date entries, leave this number set to zero.

In the Start Day cell, enter the day of the week that starts the expense reporting period. Enter a three-character abbreviation for the day (e.g., Sun, Mon, Tue).

In the Day cell, enter the row or column number where all the day information will be placed. If the dates are in a row or in a column, enter the row or column number.

Define whether the Section is in list format. This setting appears in the light purple columns (18–19).

If the Section will present the data in a list format, enter the word "yes". Otherwise, enter the word "no". The following diagram shows data presented in a list format:

Expense amounts can be entered in several different columns or rows if required by your template. Expense type labels must all appear in the same column.

Enter the row or column numbers for the expense types that appear in the Section. These settings appear in the aqua columns (20–48).

Expense Topics
Airfare	Breakfast	Bus	Business Meals	Car Rental	Dennis
4	6	4	4	4	4

For these settings, simply enter the row or column number for the expense types that you want to appear in the Section. Note that the same row or column number can be used more than once. An example of this would be meals that encompass breakfast, lunch, dinner, and snacks. In the previous example, all expense items would be populated into row/column 4 of the custom Expense Report.

Complete the table. All of the remaining columns (49–57) in the table are used to define the column or row number that corresponds to the description.
Mark a Section for prepaid expenses (yellow column). If a row in the map table is for prepaid (company paid) expenses, type a "yes" in the cell on that Section's row. Type "no" in all the cells of this column that do not pertain to prepaid expenses.

PALM Treo 90 - Start - 1

Repeat steps 9 through 15 for each Section you defined for your custom Expense Report.
Map Expense Report Options dialog (magenta section). The Expense Report Options dialog has five fields where you can fill in data for the header on your expense report. Use this section to specify the row and column on your template where this information is mapped.

Employee Name		Department
Headset ID Name	Headset ID Call	Headset ID Phone	Headset ID Call
2	5	2	9

Because header data is not related to any particular Section, you have to fill in only one row. If the item does not appear on your template, leave these cells blank.

You can use applications other than Microsoft Excel (such as Lotus 1-2-3 or Quattro Pro) to open and manipulate the Expense data on your computer. The data file is named "Expense.txt," and is stored in the Expense folder, within the folder containing the handheld user data.

Expense data in the Expense.txt file is in tab-delimited format.

The Expense.txt file contains four groups of data. It will be easier to see these four distinct groups of data if you open the file with a spreadsheet application.

Trips Shows the number of Expense application categories, and lists each one followed by an “end” statement.

Currency Shows how many currencies were used for the Expense data, and lists the countries that correspond to that currency.

Trip Shows the number of expenses by category, and lists the expenses for each category.

Expenses Shows the total number of expenses, and lists them chronologically.

The following information enables you to create custom login scripts that require non-ASCII characters. It is provided for advanced users who understand the use and requirements of such characters in a custom login script.

You may use the caret (^) to transmit ASCII command characters. If you send ^ char, and the ASCII value of charis between @ and _, then the character is automatically translated to a single-byte value between 0 and 31.

For example, ^M is converted to a carriage return. If char is a value between a and z, then the character sequence is translated to a single-byte value between 1 and 26. If char is any other value, then the character sequence is not subject to any special processing.

For example, the string "Joe^M" transmits Joe, followed by a carriage return.

You may include carriage return and line feed commands as part of the login script, when entered in the following format:

Sends or receives a carriage return

Sends or receives a line feed

For example, the string "waitfor Joe" waits to receive Joe followed by a carriage return and line feed from the remote computer before executing the next command in the script.

The backslash () character defines that the next character is transmitted as a literal character, and is not subject to any special processing ordinarily associated with that character.

\^ Includes a caret as part of the string

< Includes a < as part of the string

\ Includes a backslash as part of the string

Version 2, June 1991

59 Temple Place - Suite 330, Boston, MA 02111-1307, USA.

Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute verbatim copies of this license document, but changing it is not allowed.

[This is the first released version of the library GPL. It is numbered 2 because it goes with version 2 of the ordinary GPL.]

PREAMBLE: The licenses for most software are designed to take away your freedom to share and change it. By contrast, the GNU General Public Licenses are intended to guarantee your freedom to share and change free software--to make sure the software is free for all its users.

This license, the Library General Public License, applies to some specially designated Free Software Foundation software, and to any other libraries whose authors decide to use it. You can use it for your libraries, too.

When we speak of free software, we are referring to freedom, not price. Our General Public Licenses are designed to make sure that you have the freedom to distribute copies of free software (and charge for this service if you wish), that you receive source code or can get it if you want it, that you can change the software or use pieces of it in new free programs; and that you know you can do these things.

To protect your rights, we need to make restrictions that forbid anyone to deny you these rights or to ask you to surrender the rights. These restrictions translate to certain responsibilities for you if you distribute copies of the library, or if you modify it. For example, if you distribute copies of the library, whether gratis or for a fee, you must give the recipients all the rights that we gave you. You must make sure that they, too, receive or can get the source code. If you link a program with the library, you must provide complete object files to the recipients so that they can relink them with the library, after making changes to the library and recompiling it. And you must show them these terms so they know their rights.

Our method of protecting your rights has two steps: (1) copyright the library, and (2) offer you this license which gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify the library.

Also, for each distributor's protection, we want to make certain that everyone understands that there is no warranty for this free library. If the library is modified by someone else and passed on, we want its recipients to know that what they have is not the original version, so that any problems introduced by others will not reflect on the original authors' reputations.

Finally, any free program is threatened constantly by software patents. We wish to avoid the danger that companies distributing free software will individually obtain patent licenses, thus in effect transforming the program into proprietary software. To prevent this, we have made it clear that any patent must be licensed for everyone's free use or not licensed at all.

Most GNU software, including some libraries, is covered by the ordinary GNU General Public License, which was designed for utility programs. This license, the GNU Library General Public License, applies to certain designated libraries. This license is quite different from the ordinary one; be sure to read it in full, and don't assume that anything in it is the same as in the ordinary license.

The reason we have a separate public license for some libraries is that they blur the distinction we usually make between modifying or adding to a program and simply using it. Linking a program with a library, without changing the library, is in some sense simply using the library, and is analogous to running a utility program or application program. However, in a textual and legal sense, the linked executable is a combined work, a derivative of the original library, and the ordinary General Public License treats it as such.

Because of this blurred distinction, using the ordinary General Public License for libraries did not effectively promote software sharing, because most developers did not use the libraries. We concluded that weaker conditions might promote sharing better.

However, unrestricted linking of non-free programs would deprive the users of those programs of all benefit from the free status of the libraries themselves. This Library General Public License is intended to permit developers of non-free programs to use free libraries, while preserving your freedom as a user of such programs to change the free libraries that are incorporated in them. (We have not seen how to achieve this as regards changes in header files, but we have achieved it as regards changes in the actual functions of the Library.) The hope is that this will lead to faster development of free libraries.

The precise terms and conditions for copying, distribution and modification follow. Pay close attention to the difference between a “work based on the library” and a “work that uses the library”. The former contains code derived from the library, while the latter only works together with the library.

Note that it is possible for a library to be covered by the ordinary General Public License rather than by this special one.

This License Agreement applies to any software library which contains a notice placed by the copyright holder or other authorized party saying it may be distributed under the terms of this Library General Public License (also called "this License"). Each licensee is addressed as "you".

A “library” means a collection of software functions and/or data prepared so as to be conveniently linked with application programs (which use some of those functions and data) to form executables.

The "Library", below, refers to any such software library or work which has been distributed under these terms. A "work based on the Library" means either the Library or any derivative work under copyright law: that is to say, a work containing the Library or a portion of it, either verbatim or with modifications and/or translated straightforwardly into another language. (Hereinafter, translation is included without limitation in the term "modification".)

"Source code" for a work means the preferred form of the work for making modifications to it. For a library, complete source code means all the source code for all modules it contains, plus any associated interface definition files, plus the scripts used to control compilation and installation of the library.

Activities other than copying, distribution and modification are not covered by this License; they are outside its scope. The act of running a program using the Library is not restricted, and output from such a program is covered only if its contents constitute a work based on the Library (independent of the use of the Library in a tool for writing it). Whether that is true depends on what the Library does and what the program that uses the Library does.

You may copy and distribute verbatim copies of the Library's complete source code as you receive it, in any medium, provided that you conspicuously and appropriately publish on each copy an appropriate copyright notice and disclaimer of warranty; keep intact all the notices that refer to this License and to the absence of any warranty; and distribute a copy of this License along with the Library.
You may charge a fee for the physical act of transferring a copy, and you may at your option offer warranty protection in exchange for a fee.
You may modify your copy or copies of the Library or any portion of it, thus forming a work based on the Library, and copy and distribute such modifications or work under the terms of Section 1 above, provided that you also meet all of these conditions:

a) The modified work must itself be a software library.

b) You must cause the files modified to carry prominent notices stating that you changed the files and the date of any change.

c) You must cause the whole of the work to be licensed at no charge to all third parties under the terms of this License.

d) If a facility in the modified Library refers to a function or a table of data to be supplied by an application program that uses the facility, other than as an argument passed when the facility is invoked, then you must make a good faith effort to ensure that, in the event an application does not supply such function or table, the facility still operates, and performs whatever part of its purpose remains meaningful. (For example, a function in a library to compute square roots has a purpose that is entirely well-defined independent of the application. Therefore, Subsection 2d requires that any application-supplied function or table used by this function must be optional: if the application does not supply it, the square root function must still compute square roots.)

These requirements apply to the modified work as a whole. If identifiable sections of that work are not derived from the Library, and can be reasonably considered independent and separate works in themselves, then this License, and its terms, do not apply to those sections when you distribute them as separate works. But when you distribute the same sections as part of a whole which is a work based on the Library, the distribution of the whole must be on the terms of this License, whose permissions for other licensees extend to the entire whole, and thus to each and every part regardless of who wrote it.

Thus, it is not the intent of this section to claim rights or contest your rights to work written entirely by you; rather, the intent is to exercise the right to control the distribution of derivative or collective works based on the Library.

In addition, mere aggregation of another work not based on the Library with the Library (or with a work based on the Library) on a volume of a storage or distribution medium does not bring the other work under the scope of this License.

You may opt to apply the terms of the ordinary GNU General Public License instead of this License to a given copy of the Library. To do this, you must alter all the notices that refer to this License, so that they refer to the ordinary GNU General Public License, version 2, instead of to this License. (If a newer version than version 2 of the ordinary GNU General Public License has appeared, then you can specify that version instead if you wish.) Do not make any other change in these notices.

Once this change is made in a given copy, it is irreversible for that copy, so the ordinary GNU General Public License applies to all subsequent copies and derivative works made from that copy.

This option is useful when you wish to copy part of the code of the Library into a program that is not a library

You may copy and distribute the Library (or a portion or derivative of it, under Section 2) in object code or executable form under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above provided that you accompany it with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code, which must be distributed under the terms of Sections 1 and 2 above on a medium customarily used for software interchange.

If distribution of object code is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, then offering equivalent access to copy the source code from the same place satisfies the requirement to distribute the source code, even though third parties are not compelled to copy the source along with the object code.

A program that contains no derivative of any portion of the Library, but is designed to work with the Library by being compiled or linked with it, is called a "work that uses the Library". Such a work, in isolation, is not a derivative work of the Library, and therefore falls outside the scope of this License.

However, linking a "work that uses the Library" with the Library creates an executable that is a derivative of the Library (because it contains portions of the Library), rather than a "work that uses the library". The executable is therefore covered by this License. Section 6 states terms for distribution of such executables.

When a "work that uses the Library" uses material from a header file that is part of the Library, the object code for the work may be a derivative work of the Library even though the source code is not. Whether this is true is especially significant if the work can be linked without the Library, or if the work is itself a library. The threshold for this to be true is not precisely defined by law.

If such an object file uses only numerical parameters, data structure layouts and accessors, and small macros and small inline functions (ten lines or less in length), then the use of the object file is unrestricted, regardless of whether it is legally a derivative work. (Executables containing this object code plus portions of the Library will still fall under Section 6.)

Otherwise, if the work is a derivative of the Library, you may distribute the object code for the work under the terms of Section 6. Any executables containing that work also fall under Section 6, whether or not they are linked directly with the Library itself.

As an exception to the Sections above, you may also compile or link a "work that uses the Library" with the Library to produce a work containing portions of the Library, and distribute that work under terms of your choice, provided that the terms permit modification of the work for the customer's own use and reverse engineering for debugging such modifications.

You must give prominent notice with each copy of the work that the Library is used in it and that the Library and its use are covered by this License. You must supply a copy of this License. If the work during execution displays copyright notices, you must include the copyright notice for the Library among them, as well as a reference directing the user to the copy of this License. Also, you must do one of these things:

a) Accompany the work with the complete corresponding machine-readable source code for the Library including whatever changes were used in the work (which must be distributed under Sections 1 and 2 above); and, if the work is an executable linked with the Library, with the complete machine-readable "work that uses the Library", as object code and/or source code, so that the user can modify the Library and then relink to produce a modified executable containing the modified Library. (It is understood that the user who changes the contents of definitions files in the Library will not necessarily be able to recompile the application to use the modified definitions.)

b) Accompany the work with a written offer, valid for at least three years, to give the same user the materials specified in Subsection 6a, above, for a charge no more than the cost of performing this distribution.

c) If distribution of the work is made by offering access to copy from a designated place, offer equivalent access to copy the above specified materials from the same place.

d) Verify that the user has already received a copy of these materials or that you have already sent this user a copy.

For an executable, the required form of the “work that uses the Library” must include any data and utility programs needed for reproducing the executable from it. However, as a special exception, the source code distributed need not include anything that is normally distributed (in either source or binary form) with the major components (compiler, kernel, and so on) of the operating system on which the executable runs, unless that component itself accompanies the executable.

It may happen that this requirement contradicts the license restrictions of other proprietary libraries that do not normally accompany the operating system. Such a contradiction means you cannot use both them and the Library together in an executable that you distribute.

You may place library facilities that are a work based on the Library side-by-side in a single library together with other library facilities not covered by this License, and distribute such a combined library, provided that the separate distribution of the work based on the Library and of the other library facilities is otherwise permitted, and provided that you do these two things:

a) Accompany the combined library with a copy of the same work based on the Library, uncombined with any other library facilities. This must be distributed under the terms of the Sections above.
b) Give prominent notice with the combined library of the fact that part of it is a work based on the Library, and explaining where to find the accompanying uncombined form of the same work.

You may not copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense, link with, or distribute the Library is void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License. However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such parties remain in full compliance.
You are not required to accept this License, since you have not signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or distribute the Library or its derivative works. These actions are prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by modifying or distributing the Library (or any work based on the Library), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying the Library or works based on it.
Each time you redistribute the Library (or any work based on the Library), the recipient automatically receives a license from the original licensor to copy, distribute, link with or modify the Library subject to these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein. You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to this License.
If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues), conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you may not distribute the Library at all. For example, if a patent license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Library by all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to refrain entirely from distribution of the Library.

If any portion of this section is held invalid or unenforceable under any particular circumstance, the balance of the section is intended to apply, and the section as a whole is intended to apply in other circumstances.

It is not the purpose of this section to induce you to infringe any patents or other property right claims or to contest validity of any such claims; this section has the sole purpose of protecting the integrity of the free software distribution system which is implemented by public license practices. Many people have made generous contributions to the wide range of software distributed through that system in reliance on consistent application of that system; it is up to the author/donor to decide if he or she is willing to distribute software through any other system and a licensee cannot impose that choice.

This section is intended to make thoroughly clear what is believed to be a consequence of the rest of this License.

If the distribution and/or use of the Library is restricted in certain countries either by patents or by copyrighted interfaces, the original copyright holder who places the Library under this License may add an explicit geographical distribution limitation excluding those countries, so that distribution is permitted only in or among countries not thus excluded. In such case, this License incorporates the limitation as if written in the body of this License.
The Free Software Foundation may publish revised and/or new versions of the Library General Public License from time to time. Such new versions will be similar in spirit to the present version, but may differ in detail to address new problems or concerns.

Each version is given a distinguishing version number. If the Library specifies a version number of this License which applies to it and "any later version", you have the option of following the terms and conditions either of that version or of any later version published by the Free Software Foundation. If the Library does not specify a license version number, you may choose any version ever published by the Free Software Foundation.

If you wish to incorporate parts of the Library into other free programs whose distribution conditions are incompatible with these, write to the author to ask for permission. For software which is copyrighted by the Free Software Foundation, write to the Free Software Foundation; we sometimes make exceptions for this. Our decision will be guided by the two goals of preserving the free status of all derivatives of our free software and of promoting the sharing and reuse of software generally.

BECAUSE THE LIBRARY IS LICENSED FREE OF CHARGE, THERE IS NO WARRANTY FOR THE LIBRARY, TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW. EXCEPT WHEN OTHERWISE STATED IN WRITING THE COPYRIGHT HOLDERS AND/OR OTHER PARTIES PROVIDE THE LIBRARY "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF THE LIBRARY IS WITH YOU. SHOULD THE LIBRARY PROVE DEFECTIVE, YOU ASSUME THE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIR OR CORRECTION.
IN NO EVENT UNLESS REQUIRED BY APPLICABLE LAW OR AGREED TO IN WRITING WILL ANY COPYRIGHT HOLDER, OR ANY OTHER PARTY WHO MAY MODIFY AND/OR REDISTRIBUTE THE LIBRARY AS PERMITTED ABOVE, BE LIABLE TO YOU FOR DAMAGES, INCLUDING ANY GENERAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE LIBRARY (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF DATA OR DATA BEING RENDERED INACCURATE OR LOSSES SUSTAINED BY YOU OR THIRD PARTIES OR A FAILURE OF THE LIBRARY TO OPERATE WITH ANY OTHER SOFTWARE), EVEN IF SUCH HOLDER OR OTHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

END OF TERMS AND CONDITIONS

If you develop a new library, and you want it to be of the greatest possible use to the public, we recommend making it free software that everyone can redistribute and change. You can do so by permitting redistribution under these terms (or, alternatively, under the terms of the ordinary General Public License).

To apply these terms, attach the following notices to the library. It is safest to attach them to the start of each source file to most effectively convey the exclusion of warranty; and each file should have at least the "copyright" line and a pointer to where the full notice is found.

One line to give the library's name and an idea of what it does. Copyright (C) year name of author

This library is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify it under the terms of the GNU Library General Public License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version 2 of the License, or (at your option) any later version.

This device may cause TV or radio interference if used in close proximity to receiving equipment. The FCC can require you to stop using the device if such interference cannot be eliminated. If you need assistance, contact Handspring Customer Care.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation.

This device has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

■ Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna
■ Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver
■ Connect the equipment into an outlet or circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected
■ Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help and for additional suggestions.

The use of shielded I/O cables is required when connecting this equipment to any and all optional peripheral or host devices. Failure to do so may violate FCC rules.

Caution: Changes or modifications not covered in this manual must be approved in writing by the manufacturer's Regulatory Engineering Department. Changes or modifications made without written approval may void the user's authority to operate this equipment.
